  1. Funny sig my fellow Canadian.........
  2. Toronto area has a ton of shops.
  3. It was ok......have to see where the next issue goes to see.......
  4. My guess is ............tree fidy!,
  5. I bought my walking dead #1 because I love the book and I bought it when I could afford to with no ill effects on me financially. For me, I could care less if it falls to $50, I will always have this book and keep it unless I really had to sell it for some odd reason. If you bought yours to flip, well it will eventually fall in price, especially after the show ends and people start to forget about it. So as any book, it's a gamble, you just need to realize when to fold'em.
  6. He said we are dinks and he won't post it anymore, just for his customers.
  7. This is an awesome meme waiting to happen. Or like a "scary movie 7" featuring the Hulk at a frat party and trashed. The guy spent $2,500 $7500 on a revival #1. I'm sure no one is surprised he smokes the ganj. Fixed that for you.
  8. Well I think it's close enough that with a show possibility announced and the fact that there is going to be a Revival knock off show soon that it really hurts Revival......at least in the sprint, but the long run who knows.
  9. One can hope.......but with a revival knock off show and now RR show announced, its not looking good for a Revival Show...... On the Contrary, I think this is a big Plus for Revival... Really? How so?
  10. One can hope.......but with a revival knock off show and now RR show announced, its not looking good for a Revival Show......
  11. Congrats! I love reading this one when it comes out.
  12. Doh, hopefully they are ok........the suspense is killing me.......
  13. Modern books where 99.9% of the run is in 9.2 or better shape and taken well care of since they were printed, cannot be compared to Hulk #1 and Fantastic Four #1, who's value has been established over nearly 60 years and is based on it's proven desirability, and not a hypothetical future success or relevance. As for what price is too much. In the same way that WD lifts all other moderns below it when it tracks a new high, and proves "what's possible". The golden age rarities do the same and open up space for people to pay more on the silvers. Same way things like the mcfarlane art sale "let" people start justify paying much more for OA, even pieces of questionable future relevance. Dips in a market, or corrections to a bubble, are buying opportunities for well positioned people. Not just in comics, but all markets. It shakes out weak hands, breaks people playing on margin (debt), and sets strong floors for values. aka, even during the correction item X never went below price Y. There are lots of bubbles in the comics world (OA, Slabbed books, Moderns, comics with TV rumors, copper/bronze keys, maybe even silver minor keys), if and when some of them finally "correct", it only does so to improve the overall strength of the market as a whole. If someone want to pay all time highs for a book, just make sure the numismatic value of it is truly there, and you wont lose out. Action 1s arent going to go on sale, even if the bottom of the entire comic market fell out. If you are willing to set a record price for something, just know where it stands in the pecking order. Good post.....if a market adjustment happens again, and I am sure it will.....just make sure your ready because a lot of your current stuff will end up worthless.....pay close attention and invest only where you think the book had legs to hold up. People buying 100 copies of every #1 out there will ge she'll shocked when this happens....just my I personally tend to stay away from moderns as far as "a book with legs" I only buy them simply because I love the book itself, usually because I love the cover. I remember when people were paying $25-30K for 9.8 Hulk 181's but of course as more and more copies got the 9.8 grade, the price dipped, now one can be had for around 10K I'd certianly would not want to be that guy who paid 150K for the only 9.9 copy that was on comiclink a few years ago. Or even one of the guys who paid the 25K for a 9.8, or the 9.9 NM 98 for 12K. In the comic world however, condition is King! Would I pay 5K for a ASM 300 9.9? Nope. Why? I don't see much of a future for the character Venom, also the print run is too large. Very nice book but i'd settle for a 9.8 and just be happy with that. WD #1 is the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1...Laugh all you want, but it's true. Getting back to East of West, I bought 12 copies and I'll just slab and flip them. Only reason why people bough 5-10+ copies of it anyway! I'm with ya, if I preorder a bunch, when it arrives and if I didn't like it, off to ebay they go......you have a small window of time, like 1-2 weeks to sell them off before it goes cold and your stuck with them for the long haul.........and in my opinion, if something is current and selling for more then a WD#1.......you need to step away and take a deep breath............but hey, I'm only wrong half the time....
