$450 is the new normal https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=detective+880+cgc+9.8&LH_Complete=1&LH_Sold=1&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xdetective+880+cgc+9.8+-9.6+-ss.TRS0&_nkw=detective+880+cgc+9.8+-9.6+-ss&_sacat=0

if 9.8's drop back down to $300, (they won't), I'll gladly buy one. They don't come up for sale or bid often. Plenty of 9.2-9.6 out there

Same copy I found at the LCS for $20 last month

Keeping with my WD blanks done by punk bands theme, I saw The Accused AD play tonight and got a doodle from Blaine. It's not the quality of the art, I mean not everyone can be Away from Voivod obviously, it's just having it and that moment in time. I'm going to see Stiff Little Fingers on Wednesday, prob take a blank with me.

Power Pack #1 , movie talk again https://www.ebay.com/sch/Copper-Age-1984-1991/165364/i.html?LH_Complete=1&LH_Sold=1&_from=R40&_nkw=power+pack+%231

It's just an amazing cover, a neo-classic one at that and a super tough find in high grade. The raw price of this book is one of those examples where you can say, "see, not everyone collects slabs." Good luck finding one cheap

A week without a post in the WD thread? These boards are dead

I've been rescuing Web 97's from the dollar bins over the weekend, put aside 1 copy which looks like a 9.8 candidate but wonder how much shelf life this issue has. Daredevil 227-233, Born Again sets in VF or better are doing well Nemesis sets and Happy sets, or just the #1's if you find them in the buck bins, grab 'em up

Last night I was working one of the merch tables at The GBH show, a friend's band was playing the gig and since I had all access and knew I'd be backstage, I figured what the hell and brought a WD blank cover with me. None of the guys in GBH are artists, but I didn't care and Colin, the singer, did a quick skull doodle for me. I'm thinking, cool, goes into my punk collection of stuff. Well, Danzig was playing at the same time on the same block and as we're leaving my friend says, "Glenn's signing stuff, the bus is just around the corner." The line was really short since it was after 2:AM at this point. We had to hand over whatever we wanted him to sign to his roadie (1 item) who then took the stuff on the bus and would come back out in a few minutes. I wrote a quick note to give to him with the GBH sketch cover, saying how I used to work in a record shop in town that he'd always shop at and my fiance works at one of his favorite spots he used to hit up, and would he please draw a quick small skull on the front. So, I'm expecting to have a GBH / Danzig combo cover with 2 minute long doodles on the front. When the roadie handed it back to me, and I saw the back of the cover I was in awe. I guess he read my note

NA 10 is a brief cameo at best. Even less than Gamora's cameo in ST #180 which is regarded at her "1st appearance" by those who just sell books but don't actually read them.

I've been finding NA #10 in runs, like #8-12 in a set at shops for cheap but never see it in a bin by itself. I'm still not convinced that NA 10 is Thane's 1st appearance but I'll take the money. I'm leaning toward Infinity #4 SW Battleworld #3, that cover is just so beyond awful and that will prevent it from really taking off IMO. How many people here looked it up on ebay and went "Ecccch!" Sandman 22 slowed down a bit but once the next Dark Nights chapters come out, 22 and 69 should go up again (69 is Daniel's 1st appearance as Dream, so that's the one to get I believe)

The Sentry #1 1st series, 1st appearance is showing movement over the last few weeks. Other than it being a great series, any reason for this? Movie spec news? Anyone? https://www.ebay.com/sch/Modern-Age-1992-Now/900/i.html?LH_Complete=1&LH_Sold=1&_from=R40&_nkw=sentry+1

That's why were all here, though not as often since they "improved" the board layout. I was a faithful Sandman reader from issue #1 the day it came out until somewhere in the 50's, whenever Hempel's art completely ruined whatever enjoyment I was still getting out of it. My girl has all of the TPB's and when I told her that Daniel/Dream was going to be in the Dark Nights Metal, she said, "oh, you never read Morpheus's death, did you?" So I read the last couple TPB's, man Hempel's art is so cartoony and horrible (*disclaimer, I loved Gregory when he did it for Piranha Press), and after re-reading #22 and #69 now, I have to throw in my 2 cents and say the issue 69 is the one. But whatever, I'll sell them to whoever is paying more for whichever one

Netflix series coming next year. If they were cheap enough, the risk is minimal

My extensive hunting for Cannon Busters has turned up 1 copy of #0 (2005 SDCC), 1 copy of Cover A, and 2 copies of Cover B. That's from a dozen stores in 2 states. Whew

Remember Sleepwalker #1 Make money off both books while we can.

Give it time. People buying #22 only see "1st Daniel" and hit the BIN button. People who read the series know that #69 is when Daniel becomes Dream. Buy low, sell high.

Found one at a LCS last month for $20, had to have been sitting in the long box for years because this place never puts out anything new in their bins. So, short answer: they're still out there, don't give up hope

Cannon Busters 0 and 1` https://www.ebay.com/sch/Modern-Age-1992-Now/900/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=cannon busters&LH_Complete=1&rt=nc&_trksid=p2045573.m1684 Only a couple a high sales since the Netflix announcement. Will take some serious digging and hunting to find copies

Haven't read it yet but will over the weekend, Tom King can do no wrong!

Everyone bought multiple copies of Jupiter's Legacy #1 to sit on. Pretty much nobody bought multiple copies of New Avengers #8-10 to sit on. Thrill of the hunt

Crossed a few ghosts off my list in the last couple months Y The Last Man #1 Red Hood Lost Days #1 variant Batgirl #12 Artgerm Wolverine #305 1:50 McNiven variant

New Avengers 8-10 are still selling well, though NA #10 isn't a full appearance of Thane (see Infinity #4) but people still want it and it's not as easy to find multiple copies of in one spot as some may think. Spawn homage covers are moving up, especially slabs, and it doesn't even have to be a sketch variant Happy! Looks like the trailer will do the mini series justice and if you scooped up several sets when they hit the 50 cent bins, it's all profit now

Just that with so few high grade copies available at any given time, I don't believe it has hit its ceiling yet. Sorry it took me a month to reply but ever since they improved effed up the boards, I'm rarely logged in on here anymore
