Figment #2 selling for $10 plus on the bay
I've sold a couple over the weekend for $15.
-
#3 is as good as the first two. Tough to get a CGC 9.8 under $50
But you could get some for $75.
-
Is this a limited series? I see no solicitation after the 4th issue. Are they taking a break and coming back with another arc?
I hve #4 coming out in August and TPB coming out September. October solicitations haven't been posted yet.
-
I sold Southern Bastards #1 CGC 9.8 last night for $85 shipped.
-
You should have just waited until this weekend for the restock because Diamond didn't sell out until last night.
-
I love when titles are going for $$$ when they are still available at Diamond.

Philly area report from the weekend and today: Zero copies of RQ at Fat Jack's, South Philly, Ontario St, Atomic City, Comic Madness, Brave New Worlds, Comic Madness, Comic Universe (Ridley Park) and Showcase (Granite Run).
FYI, all of these shops still had Panzerfaust, Clone, Strain #1 and Todd up to 3 weeks after the TV announcements. So all of the copies either got snapped up last week, or they weren't heavily ordered around here. Or a bit of both
I grabbed stuff last week at Fat Jack's, BNW (both locations), and Showcase (Villanova). I stay away from Ontario St. and never have cash for South Philly. And most of it on Thursday at WW I think. The others I don't have a car for.
-
I wonder how many got graded at Philly.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was the or one of the top subbed books.
Between that and RQs #1
I think I grabbed all the copies of RQ on Thursday. I found a bunch in a box that was 6/$10. The only ones I passed up were from this one guy who's copies were black with dirt asking $10 each. He was also asking $20-30 for Southern Bastards #1 because he said any modern that goes to 2nd printing is automatically worth $20.

I rifled through a few of those Figment...just couldn't pull the trigger.
Haha ditto that. Wasted enough money on flavors of the week that never went anywhere. *Cough cough* Watson & Holmes, Helheim, Day Men, Escape From Jesus Island (cue the angry jagoff's response in 3-2-1...)
Ok, "Lonzilla"
I'll take the bait.
If you speculate on moderns, you cannot sit patiently waiting for another Walking Dead #1. You'll ante out.
You have to play what the market presents.
The market presented Figment.
Fortunately I recognized it was a very playable hand.
I'll play, & then play the next hand.
Watson & Holmes was VERY hot a couple times.
#1 Debut Week
#2 24 hours after it's media announcement
Helheim explosive for months, before the gurgle.
Day Men: plenty of cash there. It was cool out of the gate, then explosive before cooling.
Escape From Jesus Island.
If it "pops", I'm in good position. I stand by the pick.
I've made cash on them all.
Funny that you lost.
Angry jagoff's that cannot hit the window on moderns should perhaps try something else...
Yes, "Larry"
There is only one Walking Dead, a once in a lifetime phenom and I've realized that long long ago, didn't have to be pointed out.
Watson & Holmes was "hot" for a day. By "hot" that's selling for more than $10, then wasn't even $10 steadily by the time the 2nd issue came out. After the media announcement, which nobody buying seems to care about, you could maybe get double cover price. Whoopee.
Helheim, died as fast as it began. Wasn't even selling for cover price after a month.
Day Men was pumped and dumped. Still see 1st prints in bins for $2 above cover, not worth my time.
Jesus Island, who knows? Aint moving yet
Neither of the above mentioned books are anything I bought more than 3 copies of so I didn't lose anything other than a few bucks which could've been spent elsewhere. Still a waste of money to me if they're books I don't find to be worth reading (like Pretty Deadly)
The only book I bought 10 or more copies of in the last 2 years that I've been wrong about is Mercenary Sea, so far.
What's funny is that you run a business and actually have repeat customers
Submit all of your Mercenary Sea copies tomorrow if you still can. Surprisingly sales are steady around $50 shipped auction, $60-70 shipped BIN.

So was the Heroes news about this? Or does no one know what it is about yet?
-
If anyone is at the con this weekend they need to talk to some Image folks for some big news........
So is Southern Bastards a movie or TV show?
-
Wasn't that the plan all along? $$$ I'm just surprised he didn't take more on a SDCC hardcover.
-
What was his past mistake? Didn't the Peter Panzerfaust creators list a set of #1-#9 for like $900-$1,000? That doesn't seem like a mistake.

Every copy my LCS got including my 5 were damaged by the monkeys at Diamond
They said they'll be replaced and be in tomorrow. Hope so
4 out of the 5 "replacements" were crunched in the center of the spine. WTF is wrong with those people at Diamond??? JEEZ!!!
At least I got 1 9.8 and grabbed another when I was out and about today. 2 is better than none, but it ain't the 5 I was expecting
Ordering Five comics & expecting Five 9.8's.
Hilarious.
In the future you should just pick the 9'8"s off the CGC tree.
They're Free...
Yeah the nerve of me to expect a new comic book to look like it's effin new and not like someone used the middle of the spine to floss their teeth
The NERVE of you to expect all five to be 9.8's indeed.
You're delusional.
Maybe 20% of the new product shipped weekly is 9.8.
( the reason a 9.8 is valuable is because they don't grow on trees)
Retailers accept product in salable condition.
I am the paying customer. If it's not in the condition I want it in, I'm not buying it. Plain and simple, and since I do a lot of regular business with the LCS, the owner didn't say something like "I deem them salable, so you have to take them." He doesn't have the take it or leave it business sense of a used car salesman.
These books weren't salable. They were mangled up pretty good, bad enough that the store owner didn't even wanna keep them for other customers ( he doesn't do CGC, and he's not a flipper / speculator).
He showed me a few Spidey books that were sent to him as "replacements" and they looked like they were folded up in someone's pocket.
Where do you shop?
-
And I'll have 9.8s next Friday.
-
My order of cover B shipped yesterday? I don't know how. But I did get Uber #0 and #1 weeks in advance, so maybe they think I'm someone I'm not hah.
-
So I went back through Scalped. I read it two years ago. No one can possibly still believe this is Earl Tubb.
#16 page 5. Actually appears on page 4, but page 5 he says his name.
#54 page 9. He gets shot in the head. Dead body is shown face down on page 10.
-
It seems like everyone ordered 10+ copies of #7 cover B hoping for another #1 cover B. You getting your order cut by a few copies is a money saver. The only person who is going to make money is the person who is first to market with CGC 9.8.

Marvel Ditko "prototypes":
Kirby "prototypes":
Scalped #43 is bringing as much as nearly all of those books in the 2 lists. Haha.
Here is the best yet. First Earl AND TV show. Hehe
I sent an offer asking when the TV show airs. I'm hoping fall 2015 lineup.

Bunch of different sellers, don't recognize any of them.
Caveat emptor.
Obviously, it's pretty crappy if the sellers know that it's not his first appearance and they are still advertising them as such. That being said, buyers should also do their homework.
If the creators of the book say it is, then it is

You notice how Comics Heating Up can post a link to every eBay page, but not to the source page? Even though the link I gave has been shared a million times by now probably.
You mean Comics Heating Up isn't a good source for news?
Your website has it too though.
I don't know when Sheriff Wooster Karnow changed his name to Earl Tubb. Maybe he hated his dad that much. And moved from the south to Nebraska and drove back to the south.

Page 9.
Is anyone still reading this? I just caught up with #4 and #5 and I love the series.

And now we have V-Wars with a pilot written by the guy who did Dexter and Smallville.
Moderns that are heating up on ebay!
