good thing mods are anonymous so you cant cross reference their twitter feeds for bias

that was 200x, after expenses, more if they werent included actually. Gross it'd be like x225

(they will) and 7+ sold in sept on ebay

i see the fake news continues. Its not now, nor has it ever been "A" third print. There is only one third print, which is THE third print, and there is only one RRP. People keep talking like their opinions matter... cant change reality, sorry.

<Just because its so dumb, have to point out that what confused you so much is not actually a solicit , now, moving on to finish up this exercise in the absurd> Attached are two pictures. One them is the THIRD PRINT and has it written on the cover, The other is the Retailer Summit special printing, aka RRP One of these books was available for shop to order after the second print sold out, the other book was a fixed small print run exclusively available at one place for one time. You are upset that underneath the cover, the RRP might share an inside(you dont know) with the other book, the THIRD PRINT. Just because they may share the same inner pages (they are both Saga #1 afterall), and even if the RRP doesnt have a unique indica (it likely does), They are still completely different books, with different covers, sold in VERY different ways. One is the THIRD PRINT sold to stores after the SECOND PRINT sold out, and is labelled THIRD PRINT, and when it sold out, was replaced by the FOURTH PRINT. The other is an RRP Variant, exclusively printed and distributed privately... <THE END> you are done, gibber jab all you want, you cant change reality.

You said toodles and are still posting, and I already explained it to you above when you posted this the first time. it's ok to admit you were wrong, just let it go, dust yourself off and move along like you said you were going to...

Are they telling people its worth $500 in 9.8 (keep trying)

You understand that this book was printed for a specific purpose, and distributed in a specific way right. You understand that the VERY SAME SENTENCE WHERE I SAID YOU DIDNT READ THE INDICA, I also said ITS IRRELEVANT WHETHER IT SAYS 3RD PRINTING OR NOT. It is the RRP of Saga #1 PERIOD. It is a special printing handed out with specific rules, at a specific place, and is NOT a "third printing", no matter the date, indica, or which inner stock the cover was overlayed on. The THIRD PRINTING is the THIRD PRINTING and the RRP is the RRP Here is a link showing the first, second, third, fourth and fifth printings. https://mycomicshop.com/search?TID=22696057 These printings as with all "subsequent printings" of comics are triggered by a selling out, and having to print more. The RRP is not a subsequent printing, it is a special printing, for a specific time and place. THAT IS WHY there IS an actual third printing, (and a second, and a fourth). If you tried to argue it was a "2nd print of the 3rd printing", you might at least have a logical argument to try and make (though still wrong). You still dont even know what the indica says, and thats what decides the book, not whether they used the same UPC as the third. But even if the whole inside, indica and all says 3rd print. It is still not a 3rd print, its a special convention retailer edition, aka the RRP. DEAL WITH IT.

Nice, cognitive dissonance. Claiming I sound angry, doesnt make it true. I dont like BS peddling, and I dont like new people being given bad or self-serving advice. If you agree Tec 880 aint worth paying $500 for, then we already agree.

its not a dream Anderson Cooper, you already said you havent even read the indica, so you dont even know if thats official, and even if it is (you dont know), its irrelevant. What is a Second Print? Why does it happen, how is it triggered. Now slowly.... you can do it: Why was the RRP printed and what was it for? Why does Saga #1 ACTUALLY have a Third Print, and whats the difference... You know, you just dont like the Truth

I was here for this stupid argument the first time. You are still wrong no matter what you say, do, or link to. FAKE NEWS

Your problem, besides being wrong so often, is you don't understand basic economics. The 200x profits made selling the book, buys other books that also go up. The total value keeps climbing, and the higher the margin of each sale, the more exponential the total worth of the collection becomes. If I wanted to buy the book back, I could, and still be way ahead, because in the year since, that $400 has become $800+, a measely doubling, not like an epic 200x, but still good. So, own the same book again, and have $300 in the clear, the magic of finances. Here's the real crux of it. If you genuinely and truly are telling less experienced, new collectors to the hobby, that buying Tec' 880 at $500 is a wise thing to do, and a good investment of their money. Then you are a straight up scumbag liar, because I know you know its not. No, you want to feel good about your own books imaginary values on paper (never realized cause according to you, you dont sell), so you talk up what you own, with all sorts of baseless nonsense claims that you throw around as fact. I am sorry you over paid for your Tec 880, I am happy it went up since then so your ego can be spared. But, the truth is still the truth, Tec 880, AINT RARE, AINT HARD TO FIND IN HIGH GRADE, and SURE AINT worth $500

lol, the CNN of comics right here

Nice. I still believe long term, the 1st prints of Frozen are going to be serious collector's items.

HUGE DEMOGRAPHIC Thousands upon thousands of collectors, I went to the Memphis JOKER'S COVER CON last year, and there was like 5,000 people there on the Saturday.... Of course, on Tuesdays, if there are two Full Moon's that month, we all play Fizbin. But on a more serious note, if I bought $100,000 X-Men #1, it would probably be rarer than Tec 880.... Just saying, but if a couple years later somebody offered me $20,000,000 (200x my purchase), not only would I sell my very rare book, it might be a sign the guy paying $20,000,000 for the book was buying into a bubble. But that's a UHG X-Men #1, which are a dime a dozen these days. Not like TEC 880, cause it has a white back, so you know, SPINE TICKS arent a problem. It's too bad about TEC 881, it just keeps sitting in my collection unloved at cover, not being sold. Oh well, you should have seen those crowds at JOKER COVER CON, epic.

There is a great amount of money, looking for places to flow, just reread the thread, you can see it even here. I owned the book during the years you are talking about, and watched it through out. The boards have become myopic since 2013ish, confusing "readily available online to buy" and rarity, with many narratives and narrative pushers trying to justify completely unjustifiable valuations. If you think a Tec 880 9.8 for $500 is anything other than a bubble, that's your prerogative, but imo the future will not be kind. Only time will tell, but there are a lot LOT better books you can buy for $500, even including in the realm of massively overpriced moderns.... I'll take my 20,000% profit margin and be on my way... (not an exaggeration, it was sold for 200+ times more than I paid for it -- ie 20000% margin.)

Fake News Flippers selling to flippers, and many hoarders holding multiples. Not rare or hard to get in 9.8

Got mine when I added Batman and Tec to my pull list just before new 52 launched(a few issue ahead), paid less than cover for it, slabbed it myself (9.8) and sold it for like $400 last year. I see people hitting $500 for it now, and good on them, absolutely no regrets. One of the biggest "free money" books I have ever sold, 100% profit. I would not recommend to anyone to be paying high money for that book. imo, its not rare at all, and purely a speculation driven sign of the times type book. I'd sell any book paid cover for $4-$500 all day every day and twice on Sunday.

are you an owner of one of the four 9.8s?

awesome thread, will likely be shopping in it in the not to distant future. What are the odds of an ultra high grade 102.5 appearing?

ahh, i see, if wildcats/x-men was ever not a dollar bin book, I would be in shock and awe...

I actually had some on the pull list long long ago

have prices really been driven up even on books like these? That's crazy.

he's just an alien and the point was that people were saying they hadn't changed daredevil as so many other characters were, and I was saying that I think they were virtue signalling in other ways in his book instead of making him a One-armed Paupua New Guinean Senior Citizen, or some such thing...
