  1. The "total market size" is a better way to compare two books (in my opinion). NM 98 has 2,156 copies in CGC 9.8 with a 90-day average of $700. That's a "total market size" (in 9.8) of $1.5Million. NYX 3 has 1,016 copies in CGC 9.8 with a 90-day average of $780. That's a "total market size" (in 9.8) of $800,000. New Mutants 98 is definitely the bigger market, with enough copies to satisfy the demand at $700 each. NYX 3 is a smaller market, but the number of copies being lower requires the price of $780 each to satisfy demand. The price alone doesn't really tell the story for any comic... combine price and supply to get further in the comparison. Exactly. This also answers those who compare NM98 to WD. It doesnt add up because of the supply. In other words, it would be easier to compare the supply of back then an ASM129 to a NM98, whereas a book like WD and to an extent NYX3 have smaller numbers. But realistically, if you had a time machine and were to go to 1986 or any year prior and scoop up every copy of ASM129 under $5, you'd have totaled more in value today than if you were to look for WD #1 at any time
  2. In 1986 ASM #129 was a $2.00 book.. The Punisher Mini Series took off and gave the decade plus old character a boost which by 1987 started to show promise.. By 1988 ASM 129 was a $40+ book.. The mentality in those years (1987-1990s) with common speculators was to invest in new books, but if you were wise, you wouldve bought an ASM 129 for the same price you could buy a hot B&W indie title in 1987, or a Valiant hot book in early 90s... Same can be said about NM98. I believe that NM98 has entered the pantheon of mega keys and will grow to be the grail that ASM 129 is today in 10-20 years time. Maybe sooner And thats my of the day
  3. Another reason why I believe this property will only get more popular with time.. Merchandise! Merchandise! Merchandise! Havent seen a new comic character with so much merch power!
  4. Apparently some people think that X-Force 11 newsstand is tough sh*t http://www.ebay.com/itm/X-Force-11-CGC-9-8-w-WHITE-PAGES-1st-Real-Domino-HOT-KEY-/291907317060?hash=item43f7082d44:g:dXIAAOSw8w1X~RIF

  12. What do you call an enraged Canadian? CAP Canuck I'm pretty sure Chu calls them "random email I want to comment on about" instead of "refuting Jimmy Linguini's post without crediting or mentioning Jimmy Linguini while implying Jimmy Linguini purposely gives out misinformation while continuing to steal posts from him and others"
