Oh wow. Oh wow, that's good? or Oh wow, that's bad? oh WOW thats a crazy good for the seller ! I'd tell you about that seller, but I'm sure it'll dawn on you sooner than later.... Yep, I hear he's one of the best . . .

Sorry to hear that . . . Perhaps, but was it really NM? Was it sent in an E.Gerber Mylite2 with a buffered fullback? Was it impeccably packed and shipped immediately? Believe it or not, It's the "wow" things that make a difference. I know you sell high grade stuff, I'm just saying as usual there isn't a market for the book at the price you received. Of course there is . . . a data point is a data point.

Believe it or not, It's the "wow" things that make a difference. You are sounding like Copper Age Kids a whole lot right here. Maybe Impossible. He mentioned neither his current high grade books waiting to be shipped for grading nor his upcoming con itinerary.

Sorry to hear that . . . Here's one described as NM- with the "continuity" qualifier in the title that sold for $42. Where was the $1.25? I'm seeing mainly $15+. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Batman-570-NM-2nd-Appearance-of-HARLEY-QUINN-in-DC-Continuity-1999-/331746338136?hash=item4d3d9f6558:g:WjUAAOSwqv9V6RRm Keep up they aren't talking about Batman 570 its another Divad book he is advertising/bragging he sold. There's no bragging or advertising here. As a collector who bought most of his books off the rack, or bought other collectors' collections, I very rarely have more than one copy of a book. This book sold and the sales information is passed on to the community to put it to good use. I've never hoarded any particular book or speculated on any given issue by buying more than one copy. I admit I bought two copies of Hulk 181 when it came out, because I thought it was a cool cover.

Oh wow. Oh wow, that's good? or Oh wow, that's bad?

I think this one is doing very well . . . Mulder and Scully 1

2nd App........HAHAHAHA :shrug: divad likes omitting qualifiers. It is her 2nd Appearance... in regular DC continuity. Thought this one has been know for a couple years now. You guys just don't read the entire listing . . . nothing was omitted.

that book has actually been trending down for months Actually no, it hasn't.

2nd App........HAHAHAHA :shrug: Yep, seriously silly comment.

Here's one that's doing very well: Batman 570

Here's one for ya! Avengers 316

It's just another example of label chasing a popular character for a registry set. Not much different than what happened with the first slabbed HG Bronze or any other low pop book. Certainly no worse than paying crazy prices for 9.9s or 10s. Yup agreed. This book holds no significance / importance to the Marvel universe. It's all about the Wolverine collectors trying to fill their 9.8 run that's driving the high dollar. What does it matter what it's about? A data point is a data point.

I don't believe it's either . . . NM or 2nd Print.

And then some . . .

Yes. No book? Just the cover?

I don't think you are at all, but for those of us that grew up on the Len Wein and Bernie Wrightson intro, we stuck our tongues out at the initial reboot, only to be sucked in again when Moore, Veitch and Bissette took over.

Except that it already has. If you want to argue that it will never be bigger than ASM 300, that's different. I don't know who would argue against that. Yeah... I still don't see it happening http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_sop=1&_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=web%20of%20spider-man%2018%20venom&LH_Complete=1&rt=nc&_trksid=p2045573.m1684 Go try to sell a Web 17 for $20 $10 $5 $2. It's WOS 18, and you have to do it This Way!

. To prove that's it was planned and not a retcon wouldn't we have to speak to Marvel? That black arm sure looks like Venom so I'm not sure if we can say the 1989 Update issue is a retcon at all. I'm pretty sure the TRUE answer depends on whether or I not I own one or more copies of WEB 18. If so, then it is in absolute certainty the first true app of venom.

7.5 tops

Again the big difference is in MOS 17, there's really no arguing that those were not Doomsday fists. However, in Web 18, those hands are just too ordinary looking and there's no other supporting evidence that they belong to Eddie Brock / Venom. I know what you mean that it would make sense that they should belong to Venom, but what's stopping a writer from making a new villain tomorrow that knows Spider-Man's secret identity and can evade his spider sense? If that writer decides to reference back to Web 18 stating that this character has always been stalking or trying to kill him, that will throw a wrench to all the folks that bought the book thinking it was Venom. I'm not saying its not Eddie's Brocks hands nor can anyone officially say it belongs to him. It's just too vague to be considered a key. Not even Marvel? WOW. That's some direct evidence if I have ever seen it. The only reason the market won't relfect this is because the knowledge isn't well known. Here is some more: In this image Peter's leg is grabbed by what appears to be venom. and then Pete connects the events from issue 18 to 24. So if the argument for MOS 17 over Web 18 is simply that the hand isn't Venom then issue 24 appears to take care of that. Unequivocal. This is not "ret-con" it's contemporaneous and intended.

A few more for your vewing pleasure . . .
