Crack 'em and read 'em. No, I was just in awe of why people choose to slab krapola - it's either no idea or no idea . . .

It all looks like Krap to me . . . but what do I know about art

Bad slabs rule.

Why, oh why does this thread exist?

Which, of course, is why the books are starting to sell at better prices right now. The better prices are a function of the movie announcement. However I think better gains can be had later. All it should take is a few pics of gorgeous ladies in costume. Perhaps, but selling books I got for nothing for $25 - 30 a pop is a solid business plan.

Any particular reason? Saw it slowly creeping back up... Some overlooked covers in that series. They confirmed the movie today. However, I fully recommend the book regardless, because it's really enjoyable. Paul Dini writing makes for a really fun read, and I really like March's art. Totally agree on Paul Dini's writing, he is super underrated! With that being said, is non-variant #1 a sell or hold right now? The answer is almost always sell. Agreed - I'm seeing upwards movement on all issues in title.

Might be someone looking for a cheap 1.8 example. That's pretty cheap. The bigger question is why would you possibly slab this book? Probably thought it was a color variant. 100% that's the case. You know the grader knew that too... wish they could have stopped the process at that point and saved the person his submission fee. That being said, I give the seller credit for not de-slabbing and trying sell it raw as a color variant. The question now is what to do with it? Other than throw it in the trash? Personally I'd attached a bean bag to the underside of it and make it a cool little lap desk / snack tray. I bet you could sell that. I think it's just, "Stoopid is as stoopid does."

You need to change stores . . .

Awesome collection Oak - love it!

I sell moderns and I buy pre-code horrors I sell everything and only buy what I worship.

The common, "look its being shilled" gotchas have been well known by shillers for 10+ years. The lazy ones might get exposed by %bids with one seller, # of bid retractions, low feedback users... Professional/experienced shillers havent done it with those types of "mistakes" for years and years. You can never know for sure, but the key to catching shilling in this era, is to look for bidders acting against their own interest. That cannot be hidden no matter how savvy the shillers are. That includes: 1.) Raising the price significantly, long before the auction ends 2.) An extremely unusual amount of bidding. (Very few people bid 14 times on one auction) 3.) Bidding up an auction past the BIN price of other auctions for the same product. The goals of shillers is one of two things:' 1.) Probing - (trying to get legit users to max their bids) 2.) Locking in Fake sales - (where they sell within their group, or too themselves, in order to create a fake 'floor' for something they will try and sell legitimately later/) Wow, this is a "shilling primer". Naive probably, but I never expected it to be this involved. I generally only buy collections, lots or BINs here on the Boards.

Very under-ordered + variant effect + new character + first to market + Valiant fans = insanity =soon to be "found" warehouse boxes . . .

16 bids from one user, and seller is <50, probably shilling in the mix on that auction. can't say about any other sales. I don't necessarily disagree, but all of the bidders seem to have double-digit bidding history with this seller. So if it is shilled, is it with all 7 of his other accounts???

You impart so much wisdom and value to these boards . . . I just love you!

Uh, what would you know except for the the big 9.8 in the corner . . .

No, that's just poor selling. And, you're discounting that over 80 copies sold over the last 60 days.

Yup. When the whole Star Wars Hot Topic recall fiasco occurred Red Hulks were going for 30.00. Keown Hulks for 70-80 and Turner Wizards for 100+ And now 9.8s of the regular cover are going for $100-140 - that's not heating up? Ha-ha!

I agree with you, I am asking, for those that think it might be, what would the reason for the claim be backed by? Edit: I dont mean sales, but justification for increased interest. I have never heard any rumors about any colored hulk ever being in anything. When a book that essentially had no value at all sells for $24 in VF, that's heating up. Justification can kiss my batoulis . . .

of course they are... ...NOT Dude you need new glasses - even your own posts contradict yourself. No glasses needed.. Gray hulk is not red hulk Did you even look at my link?

Or perhaps maybe . . . Gen 13 #12

So, how about a book heating up . . . Red Hulk #1 Even mid-grade copies doing well!

The Rule of 25, as always, rears its ugly head I still don't get it -- Those prices don't seem particularly "hot" to me based on what I've seen them at over the last few years. I guess it depends on how old you are . . .

Or perhaps the better question is . . . Why are you guys letting me down???
