It was optioned by Paramount months before #1 was released… if you’re saying you didn’t think that option actually sees the light of day I’d say we still don’t know yet, it might it might not. Options typically expire within 12 months . . . or less. That's why it's called an "option."

This we can all agree on . . .

JAY? IS THAT YOU?

Buyers' market right now though: X-Men Annual 1 1991

That where's Waldo parody is the best thing I've seen in a while. I literally almost spat beer onto my phone Quite a bit more than Darkseid's . . .

This. And having sold all my horses in this race, I am a big fan of first full appearances, particularly if the story revolves around the new character and there is a dominant cover appearance. But if I suddenly came upon a virgin hoard of Annual 14s, I'd change my tune in a NY minute.

yup, you'd think these are Pressman prices but they're for the regular cover! You're buying my dinner tonight!

Congrats - great sale!

Exactly. There was absolutely no reason for this book to go above a buck Unless you "need" it in your collection . . .

Personally, I think this is the only book that is over-graded in the bunch: BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS #3 1986 CGC 9.6 NM+ FRANK MILLER DC Comics JOKER $125.00 1 bid +$7.99 shipping View similar active items Sell one like this May-14 12:57 Seller: puregrime(348) 100%

I think if you take the time and look at the large scans that I provide in the full descriptions (as opposed to looking at ebay's reduced scans on your phone) using a large Apple monitor, you will see that the books are accurately graded, certainly within .2 of anyone who knows how to grade. And, because of the size and quality of the scans, there are never any surprises. Please don't make me add testimonials here by the completely satisfied buyers.

I get what you're saying, but frankly, it's a meaningless variant in the grand scope of things (IMHO) and ultimately, you will always need to find a buyer. One lucky boardie bought my copy many years ago in a private sale. As to IH 181, I've bought and sold many copies, which in retrospect was a fool's paradise . . . had I held on to my sweetest copy, I'd be driving a Ferrari now, instead of re-doing my (now) 21-year old's nursery at the time. The question you have to ask yourself in the moment is, "Was it worth it?" I'd do it all over again in a NY minute

Which may be true, but ultimately very "silly" (unless you are one of the lucky sellers) That's the Royal "you" btw . . .

that's what my wife says too

I am going to disagree. I dont think Silvestri got good until he left for Cyberforce. His X-men art was maybe a little better then average. Now his second run on X-men was fantastic. I’m going to agree with your disagreement. There was nothing terribly appealing about Silvestri on Wolverine or Web, until he adopted some of the trending stylistic cues from Lee and McFarlane and tightened up his pencils. Silvestri who???

Which comic(s) do you feel is the Killer Croc key? Whichever one I have for sale at that particular moment.

Ouch! Capitalism rulz!

Her idea My wife made a habit of asking me periodically how much I had in my PP account, and feigning how it was so much easier to pay online for furniture, lighting, etc., using PayPal (using my account) p.s. As I love her dearly, I never grouse about it.

But hey, that's capitalism . . .
