  1. Perhaps a better comparison is with Gambit (Uncanny X-Men #266 and Uncanny X-Men Annual #14).

     

    Meck

     

    Except Gambit wasn't on the cover of the X-Men Annual #14, that probably was a big influence with what book became the market favorite.

     

    Besides, from the text we now see inside Avenging #9, it's without a doubt Marvel acknowledges Captain Marvel #1 won't come out until a week after Avenging #9 and even makes note of it.

     

    OK, I'll admit it. I've seen this cover a million times, but never read the book.

     

    Who is that on the cover that kind of looks like Gambit, but maybe a cyborg version?

    Oh, and this Marvel Wiki (if that counts for anything) still lists this as Gambit's first appearance.

  2. UPDATE:

     

    I just spoke to the head modern grader and he said as long as you request it and that information is correct that they will go ahead and add it.

     

    If you do decide to do that though, just so that there isn't any confusion can you go ahead and when you ship that in put ATTN: BREE on the package so that I know what you are asking and I will take care of it for you.

     

    Thanks

     

    In case anyone else wants to do it, the issues I inquired about are:

    Issue #1:

    Marko, Alana, Hazel, Prince Robot IV, The Will, Lying Cat

     

    Issue #2:

    The Stalk

    Izabel (Cameo)

     

    Issue #3:

    Izabel (Full Appearance)

     

    Issue #4:

    First Sextillion

    Slave Girl

     

    Issue #6:

    Barr

     

    Issue #8:

    Gwendolyn

     

     

    Issue #12:

    D Oswald Heist

     

    Issue #17:

    The Brand

     

    Issue #19:

    Dengo

    Ginny

     

    Wasn't #8 a cameo/intro of Gwen on the last page and then full on #9? (a la Wolverine)

  3. Hell blazer dropped

     

    I think it may have a chance at a return, if NBC sticks with it.

     

    The first episode was against the World Series and the second episode is on Halloween. Not to mention even when these events are past...it's running on a Friday night.

     

    The episode was scattered, trying to pack a lot of story/HB mythology in to 44 mins, but first episodes are notorious for this.

  4. Was able to snag some cap #34 normal covers today for $3 each from the LCS

     

    Yeah those things are everywhere...for now.

     

    Yeah we had this discussion a few months back. The print run is healthy as well, but when I started buying them a few months ago I had np finding them. Now its getting harder.

     

    Stocked up (quite healthily) on both covers at C2E2 this year for $1 each.

     

    (And there were still many copies I didn't buy.)

  5. Will the Wytches NYCC be difficult to get in high grade due to black cover?

     

    Interesting to know if the books seen at the convention were in overall decent condition.

    The biggest worry is fingerprints on the back cover, very easy to do.

     

    +1

     

    Did that a couple times going through a stack of copies at my LCS before realizing.

     

    Any way to get them off without messing other stuff up?

  6. Top 100 current back issues

    http://hoknescomics.com/topcomics201409early.htm

    Let me know if there any books missing or any price changes etc

    thanks!

     

    "#26 ALPHA FLIGHT #17 (MARVEL 1998) 1st Big Hero 6. Sales up to $40.00 for this new key issue before the new movie from Disney appears."

     

    :facepalm:

     

    It is what it is.

     

    There is confusion around the "true" 1st appearance: printing dates, CGC labels, creators's wishes, comic vs. film, etc. This isn't the first time this has happened, and it won't be the last.

     

    On the bright side, this means all issues are selling well; way above what anyone paid, so enjoy it.

  7.  

    Interesting.

     

    So 2 different accounts...

     

    One just lists "high grade", while the other splits them out in to actual grades.

     

    Just trying to figure things out. :thumbsup:

     

    Some people say "high grade" and that is 8.5 and up; others it's 9.4 and up.

     

     

    No, I'm aggiez12 on E-bay. I have no idea who the other guy is. Just pointing out the auction to the group. I wish I have another 8 copies of that book. I'm watching the X-force #2 lots to gauge how my auction did ;)

     

    And seriously, my definition of "high grade" is typically anything starting with a 9...

     

    Gotcha; now we're all on the same page.

     

    I wish I had more copies, too. Several times in the past few months I've passed over X-Force #2 and picked up #11 instead -- as that *may* be a 1st appearance issue.

     

    Even for $2 I wouldn't have lost that much if #2 never panned out; sometimes I'm too cheap.

     

    My NM X-Force #2 & #11 combo went for $22 on eBay. Sounds like that's at the low end. I always wonder on things like this if there are just too many auctions/sales for the money to spread around.

  8. Assuming the Copper Age last until 2000 when the Walking Dead #1 hit the stands: Here are some other hot Copper books according to Lyria! :ohnoez:

     

    Amazing Spider-Man v2 #25 variant? @ $12 & 7 bids.

     

    Spider-Man 2099 #1 2nd printing @ $11 & 2 bids.

     

    X-Force #2 @ $10 & 2 bids.

     

    Witchblade #1 @ $14 & 11 bids.

     

    :headbang:

     

     

    X-Force #2 raw is going for $20-25, lots are selling well. And X-Force #1 looks like it's graduated from the $0.25 bin to the $3 bin. Some of these are my recent auctions:

     

     

    X-Force #2 - 5 book lot = $22.70 each

     

    X-Force #2 - 8 book lot = current bid of $105 and 12 bidders, 1-day left

     

    X-Force #1 - 9 book lot = $3.67 each

     

    Not seeing the 8-count lot show up, either via the link, or going to your account.

     

    When you say "high grade" -- what grade(s) does that cover?

     

     

    That covers the high ones...

     

     

    Here's the corrected link
