Been there, done that . . .

It is. MT 3 & 4 contain Foolkiller #1. Then we have Foolkiller #2 in Omega the Unknown 8-9. Same doofus? Nope. Different doofus. Foolkiller has had 3-4 holders of the mantle. So which doofus is gonna "kill Wolverine"?

True dat.

No doubt, you missed something. Seriously, if you sub books that were printed yesterday, you get what you pay for.

Of course they do. This is exactly what they do. (All whining aside.)

Not in the least. It's a legitimate auction site though. Perhaps, but it doesn't belong in this thread . . . (and btw, I know you're not).

I guess the real question is, "Are you a pimp for MCS?"

I still want to know why. Harley Quinn built up a fanbase over many years, had her own relatively short-lived title, benefits from her association with one of the most popular villains in comics, etc. and only recently really took off. Livewire has made a handful of appearances in the DCU... and? Are we really back in the early 90s? Way different. Globalization, baby, globalization.

Hmm, even they only had one copy. I pulled my copy . . . it's an ad on the letters page for the next issue. If that blows your skirt up, make me an offer! Earth to comic-buying public: These do NOT constitute appearances.

So, there's no significant difference between #17 and #18. Yeah, because 40% increases aren't significant. No, not at such a low number. Now the 400% increase from #17 to #19 IS significant. Remember, the order numbers given are only around 25% of the total. The 40% increase is significant. The 400% increase is crazy! Indeed. Which is why 17 & 18 should sell at a premium beyond the fact that they are the 1st (Cameo) and 1st (Full) Appearances. And Btw, DC does not consciously construct print runs like this - they're in the RETAIL biz, they didn't give a ratz butt about the after-market. They print books, they sell books. They sell more books, they print more books (and so on).

Perhaps you should clarify before someone actually dumps money on this book. It's his M.O. Would you expect anything less? He said "she appears in this book on the last page". I don't understand why you're saying he didn't explain or why the general bad vibes towards Ween. I like Weens picks because unlike other posters, he usually comes with a unique perspective. Uh, yeah, unique. That's it . . . .

You are forgetting about the later printings. You are also ignoring the perceived scarcity, which is what matters. At any given time there are anywhere from 3 to 6 times as many copies of MoS 18 available on eBay as there are copies of MoS 17. Always. Later-schmater. Here you go - This Copy's Available

Nope, a 10 is "perfect", 9.8s and 9.9s are just trailer-trash . . .

I know I'm probably pushing the limits on Copper, but it would seem to be just a matter of time before this one breaks . . .

Awesome! (thumbs u

Sold a mid grade for $50 recently. Not particularly easy to find for some reason. I don't even know where my high-numbered Shazams are . . . the attic maybe? Check under your alphabetized S's Tough when you have 20,000+ books - things get a little looney

(thumbs u that book is for real, I sold one of my NM copies for $80 this week, not bad for my $2 investment Found this one tonight . . .

More than likely due to no one caring. Not an overly alluring cover either. I think it's a longshot, but you never know.

This is another reason I don't want to sell my collection - as soon as I get rid of something, it becomes hot. -slym I'm glad I sold my Foom 2. I'll bet you are!

Yup, I buy them whenever I find them cheap and just horde them. I know I have a bunch of copies of #25 but I just went to look for them and I have no idea where they are. Totally agree . . . and I HATE when that happens.

Already had that on my list written down, good pick (thumbs u We might have to compare notes my friend. Good - go get a room somewhere, because Justice League of America Annual #2 will never be worth a nickel . . . I use to say that about a lot of books, but after Booster Gold I have changed my mind. I hear ya loud and clear. Pullin' my JLAAnn2s tonight . . . (not sure they deserve a Mylar though)
