  1. Found this sale as a good raw:

    But cant find anything for higher grades. Any thoughts/suggestions would be appreciated.

     

    EDIT:

     

    Found a sale here on the boards last year for $400.

    Thanks guys!

     

    More info I found and thought to share. Looks like there are others then just the Xmen one.

  2. Let me ask you guys this. Let's say you pay an up charge to fly first class with no layovers. Come the day of the flight, the airline decides to stick you in coach and you have 2 layovers in other cities. They don't give you a refund. You would be kinda mad right?

     

    They are doing the same thing to us. Just saying.

     

    Wonder if anyone ever filed a BBB report.

  3. >> I passed on the two because so many variant covers were coming out.<<

     

    Passing on a speculative play due to amount of covers. Fine

    Passing on reading it due to amount of covers. Simply MOronic.

     

     

    And I wont be passing on reading it. Never stated that. I buy a copy of almost everything new that comes out.

  4. I had such high hopes for Ten Grand and Jupiter's Legacy to be the next big thing...but with both getting a billion covers I am definitely getting turned off.

     

    Sooo, you think multiple covers will affect their content?

     

    Make the material unreadable?

     

    Oh, I forget where I am.

    This is the CGC boards.

    Buy low & sell high.

     

    ;)

     

    Larry,

     

    This is the EBAY SALES THREAD. Of course we are talking value here. I'd be okay with your response if you were saying this on either the Ten Grand thread or the Jupiter Thread but value is what we are supposed to talk about here.

     

    I never once said I wouldn't read it or that anyone else shouldn't I just am stating the fact that it will likely have no value do to the unlimited amount of variants that are going to be on the market.

     

    If you want to argue with me just look at Bedlam. There is a great series but was killed investment wise due to the weight of all the variants. On a side note, I wouldn't even have mentioned the two comics if I thought the story was going to be garbage.

  5. At shows I usually give away free image first comics. Lately I have been giving away Revival as it is amazing. But the moment Todd gets an image first print I will be ordering 100+ to give away at shows and get more people on board the Todd Wagon.

     

    Hmmm. Wonder what we should call Todd fans? Bagheads?
