The newsstand phenomena is particularly absurd as most of us collectors (from the sixties and early 70s) eschewed the appearance of the barcode from its very beginning . . . and on the front cover?!? Absolutely no need to impact the cover art.

Yeah, that’s a lot lower than recent sales.  HOWEVER, that is a pretty bad press job. It’s especially evident on the back cover scan.  Take a look at the larger image and see what I’m talking about.

it’s a poor man’s 9.8

Has micro-trimming returned in full force???

And I agree you could slide that copy through the refrigerator door. 

Crack out some of my uber-HG copies and sell them! 

Buy them both! 

I'm in the "Whatever copy I have for sale is worth more" group. 

And in the same Mylar . . .  (Love these homage covers)

Time to throw my copy into the ring . . . 

Take a right and a right and a right 

I'm confused . . . 

Do you grade the moderns you buy ?

I don't buy them, ergo, I don't grade them. 

Time to throw my copy into the ring . . . 

Some day . . . your knight will come. 

Sales have started to pick up all around  . . . which is great, as I was having a real tough time paying the mortgage with my gig-job as a ventriloquist!

If you mean worth getting from a spec standpoint, I don't know. It's a modern DC "key" first appearance - even if it is in Batman, they're almost never worth getting if you have to pay secondary for them. Even Punchline settled back to lower prices from some bigger highs at this point.

 

Unless you wait 20 years . . . but hey, if you've got other plans

I posted my pair of 9.0s to Ebay with a $40 BIN 

Are they gone yet?

Ok, ok, we know our wives are hot!  How about some hot books so we can get back to business! 

Me thinks Lazyboy needs some serotonin uptake inhibitors . . . 

When did the Fantastic Four lose popularity?

With Whom???

There is a 1:100 virgin variant for the Sins of Sinister #1.

Virgin . . . I highly doubt it.

No, irrelevant garbage that has nothing to do with the topic of this thread. This thread is about the market. If you're looking for yet another hype thread for your stupid, worthless , you're in the wrong place.

Crimeny! Tell us how you really feel . . .

Does anyone here know if the Swamp Thing issues after #81 were ever collecting in TPB? I re-read 9 TPBs worth, or Saga of the Swamp Thing #20-81, a.k.a. The Alan Moore and Rick Veitch runs. I want to know what happens next.

Gotta buy 'em to read 'em. 

WTH . . . I'll give it another GO! 

Or going up . . .
