Tomorrows...after the Pats lose their buttz

Hmmm....I wonder what a copy signed by Lucas would bring?

So WTF with Sleepwalker #1 going for $395!!

 

Sleepwalker (1991) #1 CGC 9.8

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sleepwalker-1991-1-CGC-9-8-1097033014-/311274866012?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item48796d855c

Ok, so I'm pretty sure this didn't sell for list price, BUT I gotta have at least a half a short box of this friggin book...somewhere.....

I SORT OF know that feeling. I recently had a 9.6 SS 1 come back...as well as a 9.8 SS 2

I just had 13 copies double signed for SS at NYCC. Looks like it might payoff.

Do you think this comic is rising not just because of the movie but because the character could become like a character of our generation e.g like Hulk and Spiderman in the 60's?

It`s speculators who are buying it from other speculators for a flip because of the movie.

You will find that the newer generation are spending money and playing

and not paying big bucks for NM #98.

 

My 11 year old daughter started playing it. It looks pretty boring to me but so does Farmville and those type of games.

 

I thought the same thing.... Then I played it... I'm currently in the middle of building a castle in the middle of a volcano with a lake in the middle... It's been about a month... And it's huge... I often get lost getting back to where I started.

 

Try it.

My 6 year old started playing MC on her Kindle about a month ago. Last week she had Bookday at her school; she bought a MC guide . Crazy kids these days

Umm...huh...?

This one's nicer . . .

Not as nice as a CGC 9.9 SS. Liefeld.....

The dumb money seems a whole lot dumber this time than in the mid-'90s, but I guess that's just because we have the Internet to quantify the stupidity.

 

 

Smells like someone bet heavily on Ninjak once upon a time.

 

Wow ! I feel like Ninjak was the first Valiant character to cause the bubble to bust in the 90s. The print run on those books had to be high because there were stacks of them everywhere.

 

I enjoyed the heck out of Valiant books and especially Bloodshot, X-O, and Eternal Warrior. Still, I think Ninjak sealed the deal.

 

Geomancer helped!

One word: TUROK

Nuff said

I just talked with my supplier earlier this evening; I received every copy I ordered.

Can you say: 9.9/10.0?

MONIES

I'm pretty sure Jae Lees first work was on Namor 26 1992...

That price doesn't surprise me at all.

Not after I sold a raw Fine copy for $125 this weekend at C2E2

....and 20+ from me as well

Jaws was never my scene, and I don't like Star Wars

" I want to ride my bi-cy-cle......."

I just got 6 reg covers back today. All CGC 9.8's, all unpressed.

Yes it does. Basically, you can time the actual day of grading by using the Walkthru = they grade it the day it's received, or the next day. In this case it is suspicious the submitter gamed the system by submitting it on a day the whole crew was out of town. Very relevant.

This book needs to be sent back to CGC for inspection. Otherwise, how can CGC respond to any of this. I've talked to some people, outside of the Boards, and the one common response is why did the submitter flaunt this?

I'm still in the camp that CGC got played.

Saying CGC got played about this , has to be the dumbest thing I have read on these boards ever .

Then you obviously don't read the boards much...

Caught on to BG 1 over a year ago. Was around a $200+ book in 9.8. Although I have found many copies, only a couple were 9.8 worthy. A tough book in 9.8 down here fellas....

Don't pull a youmechoose and list 12 of them as auctions at once like he did with peter panzerfaust #9

 

Although I am seriously doubting the stories of people still having stacks of 20+ of the Ottley... pics or it didn't happen.

 

Every week I am surprised by the amount of boardies that have begun to chime in here lately with very low post counts. I am no longer surprised by the amount of people doing this now. This past year growth has been incredible here.

 

They watch this thread religiously and I am quite sure several have a nice stack. I am more convinced due the PMs some of us are getting lately from new posters. I mean why should they even post some of us provide them with all the info they need.

+1

And although I have admitted to having a "stack", AND have a significantly low post count, those who are familiar with me know I wouldn't bother, nor have the time to "play games" about what i do or do not have instock. Someone may ask for a hoard pic/photo as "proof of life", but these days, I just don't have the time nor patience to justify the action.

Booster Gold 1 is the 1st app BG (thumbs u

I have 25 Ottley, no reason to fib. And you won't see me flooding the market, that's for sure. I also own 10% of a few print runs from the past couple of years that have "aged" quite nicely based on my original purchase price. BUT, like most on these boards, I have better business sense then to sell of too quickly so that it affects my realized sales/sell through.

Im still sitting on my original pre-order of 50 copies of #1 (50/50 split).

Im thinking ill end up doing well on these.

I actually have a few that could hit 9.9....we'll just have to see ....

I might say 2 to 1

Based on what has been already discussed here in the past month regarding the last minute solicitation for the Ottley, i would say no way on the ratio being 2:1. I would say 4:1 at best.

New title with a relative unknown creative team, late in the year release( peeps saving/spending dough for Xmas instead of maybe trying a new book), ANOTHER IMAGE VARIANT?

Purely speculation, but I doubt the majority of retailers even ordered the Ottley.

anything is possible these days with noobs purchasing/pursuing these so called hott books.

 

While that is a part of it, over the past couple of years I have seen way more early 20s collectors enter the market and for them the Copper Age keys are the big books tied to their youth. They have jobs now with decent disposable incomes to chase the funny books that are key to them, and it is not BA or SA. If they follow the trend, they will eventually migrate to BA, SA and GA books, but right now CA is what they are most familiar with and that is what they are chasing. It happened with SA back in the day, then BA, so it only makes sense that demographics are impacting the CA market now as well.

 

Perhaps there's a Rule that shows what happens to things that came out 25 years previously?

 

 

 

Every. Single. Time.

2 more years, and I can cash out on my Pre-Unity Valiant hoard

Here is my first contribution to this longlasting thread.

Very pleased to have finally found a beautiful copy...
