I’m 100% biased, but this certainly applies to this group 

Invincible books are popping off on eBay once again. October 7th is the NYCC virtual panel re: the Amazon show. Sales will probably heat up again following this assuming there’s footage attached

1-13 are gold in 9.8, and even growing in 9.6

Notable recent EBay sales on CGC books

1- $1,400 9.8

2- $450 (first Eve and Robot) 9.8

5- $775 (tough cover first Allen) 9.8

10- $196 9.8 $170 9.6 (lowest sales of series)

11- $380 9.8 $270 9.6 (plot point/sales)

12- $370 9.8 (plot/sales)

15- $155 9.8 (no real reason, lower sales)

19- $125 9.8 (first battle beast)

51 second print - $160 (cover 1 homage)

75 variant- $300 (cover 1 homage 1:50)

Invincible Returns Darwyn Cooke - $400 (1:50) 9.8

Invincible Returns Sketch Cover- $1,232 9.4 (very very elusive cover - this was my sale)

Even the garbage (don’t @ me) Larry’s variant is selling for $150 plus in 9.8

My only complaint is my postage is taken out of my Paypal account while all the payments go to my checking account.  I've got quite a bit in my paypal account so it won't be a big problem for awhile but I can see it becoming an issue.  Is there any way to have the postage taken out of my bank account?

I have my postage taken from my “pending payout”....so it’s definitely possible 

Another simple way is to go to the website www.130point.com and choose “search eBay sales” in the main menu.

Type your search parameters and make sure that “include best offer” is checked

This is absurdly easy and mobile-friendly

What "hack" are you using? Flippertools site seems to have shutdown. 

I use 130point.com

It’s intended for sports cards, but in the eBay sold listing search you can put any keywords you’d like and get the best offer prices

I'll go with Invincible 44 - 1st appearance of Anissa. 

They do the character right and she could be gold. 

110 on the big/tv screen would be unbelievably shocking.  I think they could do it, just not too crazy.  

But WD did shy away from some of the controversial scenes like this one, so I won't be surprised if they do it again (like the real deaths of Ricks' wife and the baby).

I’m with you on 44...holy cow that pink cover is tough to hit 9.8s on

Just happy I have 4 Invincible 1s including a 9.8 SS... you do all know there is an Invincible Appreciation Thread?

The same can be said for most of the books discussed in this thread, my man

Now the question is to try to sell the complete couple sets or sell off the keys and bulk out the rest in batches of 10 / 20 books.  Such a great series and a shame to separate them but the price may be high enough on the first 20 issues to make more as singles (especially since they are NM or better copies). Tricky - tricky.

I’m trying to determine if this is the spike, or the spike will come once there is a trailer

Can this be real?  Considering there is a copy up for sale for $850 - market manipulation? What is my 9.8 worth - $3000?

Gotta love it when random people browse MCS just and start pulling triggers without a frame of reference

I'm sure some people think so but again, I don't see 2nd tier characters holding value for a while.  That includes Oliver, Battle Beast, Allen, etc.

Maybe i'll be wrong but I don't see 1 season of an animated show bringing a huge uptick in value of these 1st apps.  Maybe if there's some sustained life in the series further than a couple of seasons of an animated show.  I'd absolutely snag these if you can under 10 bucks but I wouldn't run out at prices of 50-100+.  Again, that's just my opinion.  As much as we speculate, none of us REALLY know where the popularity and price of a book will land in the future.

The only one of these available below $10 is #26

5 is now a $400+ 9.8 book and a $100+ raw book. Super tough cover to hit a 9.8

Nobody is really discussing holding value, the thread is “moderns heating up”. I doubt anyone sees AF15 future value in any of 1-144.

The point of my original post was just to help the group by highlighting which books are relevant and should see bumps with the market heating on this book. I’ve taken a lot from this group, and hopefully can help someone look for books to target at LCS or yard sales etc. The time for finding value on eBay is probably gone for this series

I get that. I just feel that if the show is long running and the general populace has not read the actual comic, then the book could be decent for a while (A la WD 27 and other random WD keys when it was still heavily watched by non-readers of the book). Just my 2 cents. I could be 100% wrong and no one gives 2 Sh##s about it. 

Well of course, in that instance I’m sure every book in the series will take off.

But it’s almost an impossibility that another comic-related show will reach TWD levels. That was once in a lifetime

No one thinks 1st Oliver in #26 might be desired at some point?

The circumstances of his story arc makes him a little less sought after 

Maybe tier 3 if separating the books into value tiers?

I was just on that website... how did you get this data... I’m trying to find the number for the 1992 space usagi miniseries.

You have to know the month the book came out: search that month and then find the book

$30 comic

Good point!
I could be wrong, it’s just my opinion. The market will ultimately decide what’s a key and what isn’t.

Meh, my opinion is that it hasn’t held up like the others...was “shocking” at the time, but didn’t hold much water to the end

To be super duper clear before the “pump and dump” allegations begin- I have stockpiled Invincible since 2005. I currently have 1-30 in 9.8 with numerous dupe copies of 1-13 in 9.8, along with so many damn raw copies of the entire series. I was the top registry for two years before I slowed down and got passed up.

This finally happening is basically my super bowl. I absolutely have a vested interest in prices rising. I have no intention of manipulating the market, the market is taking care of itself without my help.

I don’t think it’s time to sell yet, but it’s getting close.

What about #110 (the rape issue)?

I heard several years ago 11 had the lowest print run of the series. Not sure if someone can back that up with numbers but I went out a while back and found one largely for that reason alone.

Taken from Comichron...so obviously not "print run", but at least sold in NA #'s. Do NOT start this argument now, no one cares.

50 Williams variant is very hard to find just found my first copy last month.

11 and 12 will be monsters due to story change reveal. Anyone who read it knows.

 

I agree 100% about the 50 variant. Totally spaced that one 

1-13 for (alleged) print run alone will raise some eyebrows once people know how few copies were sold

Invincible is having the beginning of its moment 

9.6 is now selling in the $800+ range (multiple sales) plus #5 (first Allen the alien) is on the major incline with raw copies being cleaned out at all grades and price points 

1-13 will be the main books to have, also 44, 52 sketch cover, 61 (first conquest), the Invincible returns variants, 75 variant, along with a couple of the 100 scarce variants 

I also forgot 16 (first Angstrom Levy- the first main villain other than...), 19 (first Battle Beast - a major fan favorite character), 113 (first Terra - Mark & Eve’s daughter)

Anything more for keys is kiiiind of a reach
