For the record regarding the show: FACTS: 1.) Not tied to AoS (though their might be some casual overlap, it seems unlikely) 2.) The Royal Family is NOT confirmed for the show yet, though its possible. 3.) A phase 4 Inhumans movie is still a strong possibility according to Fiege MY OPINION: 4.) The Inhumans v2/v4 stories look like good candidates for the IMax launched show. Inhumans that come from the moon to observe what has and is happening on Earth, with the "fake" inhumans from Shield. By fake I mean ones that were not chosen and trained for terrigenesis properly. The reason this seems likely is it allows the Royal Family to be saved for the movie still, or brought in later on into the show if space in the release calendar can't be found for the movie.

I wouldnt say they are price gouging, its just capitalism supply/demand. Certain Faux News comic sites and groups have created a dell'otto bubble, so all his variants get sold out on DCBS quickly. Raising the price to prevent it from selling out isnt really price gouging, just proper business sense. Eventually the Pump-n-Dumps won't be able to shill Dell'Otto's books any higher and a new equilibrium point will be found.

WAT? I don't care what you do elsewhere, but don't come in here with that MHU attitude . the lulz what at the wrong information in this thread not you, and I'll write in any thread I choose. Don't delude yourself to thinking you can tell people what they can or cant do. No one owns a thread, and everyone is free to write in any thread they please.

AvX variants, original Civil War variants, good metrics for how similar variants have done over time.

Since this one is 1:50, I reckon you're guaranteed to get it at that price since you're essentially paying for 50 of the regular covers. Guess DCBS is expecting this one to be pretty popular. large group of people hitting them hard on all the Dell'otto's variants that come out, they will price it according to demand. $100 on a 1:50 is very high compared to traditional 1:50 pricing.

Come on... who gives a flying fox about that? the usual people https://comicbookscalping.com/2016/12/02/word-guardians-of-the-galaxy-new-character/

it reached its peek when TV quality was low. I and GoT raised the bar, add in Netflix Originals, and everyone and their mother making high quality original content, there is just a lot more options available now then before. So people invested years in a show and suddenly stopped watching it for new shows? With DVR and whatnot you can watch whatever you want... Netflix in particular. I appreciate the response but I disagree. It doesn't follow that people aren't watching it anymore because of competition. People stop watching something because it declines in quality, isn't innovative or the genre is no longer appealing (or whatever their reason is). if you take any TV show, and divide up the viewership by how dedicated they are to the show, there will always be, just like an election, SWING VIEWERS A decline in the quality of the show, would only add to other shows ability to peel off viewers. Not everyone has unlimited time for TV/movies, and it truly is a competition for viewers.

no reason... https://sadlemoncomics.com/blogs/news/thanks-to-cbsi Not seeing the connection Click the link, its contents:

sure would love to say what i really think , but that would get me insta-banned, so i let the links speak...

Sad isn't it. I hope its for the art, and not for a perception of "investment" isn't this whole thread just about store variants? No long term value in store variants, even if they make the print run 10, or 1. Using popular artists, good art, virgin covers to hide the store logo, etc, doesnt change what it is. Almost everywhere these are talked about, shown, or sold, no one says "store variant" or shows the "back cover".... PS Also, love that cBSi, lists their own store variant as the top book of their top 10 list. the lulz How is this is a CBSI variant?? Its frankies, sad lemon & 7 ate 9 variant no reason... https://sadlemoncomics.com/blogs/news/thanks-to-cbsi archived version: http://archive.is/Bauyl

The common, "look its being shilled" gotchas have been well known by shillers for 10+ years. The lazy ones might get exposed by %bids with one seller, # of bid retractions, low feedback users... Professional/experienced shillers havent done it with those types of "mistakes" for years and years. You can never know for sure, but the key to catching shilling in this era, is to look for bidders acting against their own interest. That cannot be hidden no matter how savvy the shillers are. That includes: 1.) Raising the price significantly, long before the auction ends 2.) An extremely unusual amount of bidding. (Very few people bid 14 times on one auction) 3.) Bidding up an auction past the BIN price of other auctions for the same product. The goals of shillers is one of two things:' 1.) Probing - (trying to get legit users to max their bids) 2.) Locking in Fake sales - (where they sell within their group, or too themselves, in order to create a fake 'floor' for something they will try and sell legitimately later/)

16 bids from one user, and seller is <50, probably shilling in the mix on that auction. can't say about any other sales.

this appears to be the actual comic, including back cover store logo, for those interested in seeing both covers.

If there were threats of con meet-ups, everything is right with the world. I have never been a valiant guy, but they are definitely a very loyal group, and a group that has long been seeking value. A modern valiant that is hard to get, could have some staying power, but is it a major character or a first appearance? I dont really know that stuff at all It is a 1st appearance of a new character. Most retailers slept on the book and it was underordered. Word got out how under ordered it was and us Valiant fans went scrambling to find a copy. The 1st to market is in effect, but this book will never be a cheap book. cool, so it is a first appearance. Thanks for the info

But, if another VF is also going to sell for $24, wouldnt there have to be a reason for why it happened the first time?

I agree with you, I am asking, for those that think it might be, what would the reason for the claim be backed by? Edit: I dont mean sales, but justification for increased interest. I have never heard any rumors about any colored hulk ever being in anything.

of course they are... ...NOT Is there speculation on Red Hulk ever being in the MCU? What would be the reason if it were heating up (though it appears it is not).

You are trying to start a flame war, and 100% off-topic,that's why you can get a Strike. Also, if what you just said I said exists, quote it.
