Work and family took precedent for a bit but glad to peek in every so often! Hope you are doing great and the sales stay hot… I’m very hopeful that season 2 (and allegedly season 3 right away) is top notch as well. I have far too many raws to sift through, long overdue. I recall buying like 6-7 complete runs in the 2015ish range. Maybe this will stimulate me to giddy up

How is Invincible selling for you lately? Any additional interest with second season dates revealed?

This is the way

Maybe I missed this earlier… ”The Order” #8 by Fraction/Kitson First Zeke Stane, rumored villain in Ironheart D+ series. Son of Obadiah Stane You literally cannot throw or give a comic book away any more…every book ever will eventually become marginally relevant

I don’t know that I can get behind the methodology of this article. Feels very “Ok, Boomer” worthy Third-party grading protects people that are viewing their collectibles as potential liquid investments. If you are just a reader or just a PC collector, then that’s not really relevant to you. The money piling into ALL hobbies right now gives defense to diversifying your investments and grading your stuff. I have PC AND investment stuff in both Comics and Cards. Buying graded protects me from having to trust Johnny Jagoff telling me their VF+ raw book is “CGC 9.8?” I believe people should buy and collect what they like, and shouldn’t complain about the natural ebbs and flows of the markets. But to be fair, I wouldn’t care about a guy like me’s opinion.

His 1st Bowman 😂😂

Yes the bindery corner issues are a known defect. You’ll see several 9.8 with the same characteristics You aren’t disrespecting the seller, he didn’t certify and slab the book himself.

Very much still confirmed Live Action Invincible - Entertainment Weekly article from January

This may explain the sustained rise of the early Invincible issues, in particular #1. A 9.4 sold at auction on the bay for $790 the other day. Invincible Live-Action Film still in development, will exist separately from animated series

Solid - you got me in the first half I’m not totally convinced that the time to sell is now- if people are buying those books now, they will be looking for them again once more footage or the actual show hits. Invincible feels different in a lot of ways than the traditional “tv show” book hype cycle

Has any “first preview” had staying power in the past? Do you guys see TJ 1 sustaining pricing or going higher in the future? Kirkman was asked what the first appearance of Invincible is recently on Twitter: “The first appearance of Invincible is Invincible issue 1. I’ve never known a series of preview pages for a book to count as a first appearance. That’s not an original story or guest appearance, it’s just pages from issue 1” The Tech Jacket book is a printed preview of a few pages and there’s argument over if it’s even first. MOTU #1 and Savage Dragon 102 are sometimes also claimed to be first

BTW- just a quick shoutout. Your recap emails on books that are hot for you are one of my favorite parts of this thread

Beauty

Prepare for EVERYTHING to spike again relatively soon $2,000 stimulus payments from incoming administration should set collectibles market further on fire

Invincible 1 Comichron sales are listed at 10,751 Not sure TWD

There’s a few reasons why they will stay cheap First of which being that it’s a reprint not a real variant

Where do you have your 9.6 listed for $899? Don’t see one on eBay. Are you selling the raw sets?

Tend to agree with you

It’s NEVER sold for that high on record

Invincible 1 cracked $2,000 for a 9.8 copy today

They both have voices with no accent. I don’t think it’s relevant what they identify as. Probably a coincidence?

I’m 100% with you. The creators of the show are the creators of the book, it’s not an adaptation done by people that weren’t involved all along. Plus the print runs on 1-13 specifically 10/11/12 are microscopic compared to outcast, etc. and half or less than preacher I’m, as always, very bullish on the success of both the series and the secondary 9.8 market.

89 relatively scarce but not sought after 60 second print good buy! That’s a tough cover in 9.8 with a low census count

Could be similar for sure I’m guessing it will be either TWD or Preacher. Very doubtful to me that there is an in-between This has a pretty vocal fan base pre-loaded

Your empathy is your best quality...they all appreciate that sentiment I’m sure
