That's evil Bronty
Those CVM did have the most drunken prices, And the shops in Brisbane did price the back issues based on their values listed.
Bad for collectors buying but great for 1st year working guy like me hoarding new issue multiples and getting half price trade to buy my monthly pull lists flipping Green Lantern 1's Emerald dawn 1's, Ghost rider 1's ect.
Wasn't GR #1 a $50 book in CVM at one point? I think Emerald Dawn was $35.
(And worth every damn penny. Emerald Dawn is the greatest Green Lantern story every told, ever, and that includes Neal Adams. It is simply the best. Tight plot, well written, GORGEOUS covers, caught the flavor of Hal, Carol, and the rest PERFECTLY. It is ta awesomes.)
Not sure but when the book hit the $20- $30 in CVM it was unload before the prices crashed.
And yeah that Emerald Dawn Green lantern series was fantastic.
Emerald dawn 2 was a disappointment like most sequels.
