KIRK...!

Very cool. Never knew about this. How many different variants did they make? I know there’s also a clearview mall variant of this book and congrats!

Not a creator but I just sold a book to Mooch

You better not post this contest in the coin section

I even wrote tm on the books

That’s exactly what I’m saying. The sets are moving quickly but at similar prices to older. The difference being, that the “key” has shifted to #1 instead of 7 & 8. It seems like a new blood of collectors (who aren’t familiar with the series) are following conservative lines of collecting by picking the first issue as the important of the pack. This is like a mini Infinity War bump

So crisis on infinite earths is selling like hotcakes, no surprise there since the cross-over series is about to hit CW... But issue #1 selling for $10-16??

I didn’t understand anything from what you wrote. But if u meant that books have cooled off this time of year you’re absolutely right. But every year is different. Last year I made a killing in November-December. Every year is different

Go to the Starbucks in 6th ave/ herald sq

You know how we dew!

A straight run of UXM from 235-309 with some bonus books including 129 (VFish)... #266 being a solid 9.6 at the least. Total cost under $170 The following are all 9.4-9.8 The star wars 42 is in there as well but not in the pic These are all 9.0-9.4s, the Muhammad Ali treasury is a beauty! Cool Jerry Ordway sketch I couldnt resist for $50 Did you notice TDKR took a nosedive lately? I did.. stocked up on as many I could find... 1 more set on the way not included in pics... All under $200

First. large quantities of drek in grade... 95% of these will come back 9.8 Oh the transformers snuck up in there somehow... 1st prints in grade 9.6-9.8s A whole run of Deathstroke for $50? sure why not Im a total believer in this book... its $50-70 in grade now, but I do believe it will be a $150 book soon... If I can compare it to anything it would be Hulk #377... For the longest time people were only chasing the 3rd print... But it all changed last summer

So I went shopping this month on the bay.. Took advantage of the slow down time, as I noticed people werent buying books, and sniped my a*s off... Wanna know what I got? ok ill tell ya....

Past month was dead for me until this week. It is what it is

Yup also superboy and losh is on my list. There’s a b&w compilation of those and even they are up there in price

I have many runs that I’d love to bind for my own pc. Believe it or not a lot of New Universe stuff that I grew up on is up there on that list.

So I actually won this on the bay. The original owner sold it on eBay a couple of years ago, and then the 2nd owner sold it recently. I think the buck will stop with me as I’m really impressed with this and got it for a great price https://www.ebay.com/itm/Best-of-Marvel-Vol-2-Custom-Omnibus/254422467072 But you can get a custom made Omni with houchen, which I’m pretty sure is how this one was made https://www.houchenbindery.com/services/comic-books/

Here it is... custom made Omni containing the complete Secret War, Death of Cap, Secret Invasion, The list, Dark av & Siege

Moderns that are blowing up on eBay

What does that mean? as an online retailer they blow eBay out of the water. If eBay excelled in selling pez dispensers on its platform that won’t make them survive when 80-90 percent of its business is lost to the better competitor with general retail products

This business analyst shares the same concerns as Buzz https://www.bizjournals.com/sanjose/news/2019/11/25/analysts-wonder-whether-ebay-could-have-held-out.html?ana=apple_sanfrancisco Armstrong criticized the approach of selling StubHub in order to increase value for shareholders, and said eBay hasn’t charted a path for how it will continue to grow its business. He wondered whether eBay’s core marketplace business would eventually be sold to a large retailer or a tech giant like Google, or be sold to a private equity firm and be taken private.

Comparing eBay to MySpace is more or less accurate... there was a time where Facebook and MySpace coexisted and slowly fb took more and more shares from MySpace. Eventually what was left over from MySpace were its avid music user community and eventually even that faded away. same is w eBay v Amazon. When someone wants to buy something nowadays they go straight to amazon. eBay is now left with very few retail branches that are somewhat more popular on their platform than Amazon’s. When will that go away? We don’t know
