It was Mangazine #11

All thanks to spec sites hyping it and *cough* a tv series in the works ? *cough*...... I think it's more the tweet from the head of Scout Comics where he said Henchgirl tv news soon being reported more so than it being simply "hyped" Kyle. https://comicsheatingup.net/2016/04/02/henchgirl-tv-news-soon/ Agreed. I wasnt aware of any tweets but I came across the book in my LCS recently and saw the dreaded sign "$10 sold out hot indie title" so I started following it on the bay since. Amazon prices are starting at 50.00 BTW

HOLYYYY... http://www.ebay.com/itm/TMNT-Collected-Book-Volume-1-1988-Rare-TPB-SC-Teenage-Mutant-Ninja-Turtle-Mirage-/270508905615?hash=item3efb96548f:m:m7vu1N0rTdfxeVSXxEr7kPQ

185. Army of Darkness Furious Road 1 $3.99 Dynamite 8,605 One to look out for is: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ARMY-OF-DARKNESS-FURIOUS-ROAD-1-ULTRA-RARE-VIRGIN-VARIANT-ONLY-100-MADE-PRINTED-/371573716552?hash=item568384f648:g:FXkAAOSwyjBW5OI~ Looks like Batman/TMNT are selling well 13 Batman Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 4 $3.99 DC 65,132 Which means that possibly: 269. Batman Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3 $3.99 DC 5,000 (2nd print???) May be a good pick Wonder which print this one is: 286. Dark Knight III Master Race 3 $5.99 DC 4,621 It cant be 1st print. I know it cant be that low a number Same goes to: 294. Spider-Man 1 $3.99 Marvel 4,474 Which print is that?? And last 368. Badger 2 $3.99 Devil's Due 2,867

Just sold an All-Star #58 for a ridiculous amount on Amazon. What does it mean? I dont know But a quick search showed this http://www.bleedingcool.com/2016/04/10/flash-fans-are-reading-in-between-the-lines-and-finding-power-girl/

die hard cult following on this series. The original TPBs are pretty hard to find as well.. There are a few Antarctic books that are rare as fkuc that I always have on my bucket list.. Try finding a Robotech: Crystal Dreams at any condition. Good luck

Henchgirl making the rounds

***New Supes 75 scam alert*** First an auction closed at 32.00 ... Then someone bought one at 78.00 Then if you look at eBay, youll find a few others with the same misleading title http://www.ebay.com/itm/Superman-75-Platinum-Silver-color-black-bag-variant-in-NM-Death-of-Superman-/121930175023?hash=item1c639ad22f:g:GU8AAOSwKtVW1Xak http://www.ebay.com/itm/Superman-75-Death-of-Superman-Platinum-High-grade-Wow-/131728260139?hash=item1eab9dbc2b:g:-xAAAOSwe7BWwUz7 Atomic

Speaking of Hughes, here's one that doesnt get enough spins: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_sop=12&_dmd=1&_ipg=50&_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=hughes%20miracleman&LH_Complete=1&LH_Sold=1&rt=nc&_trksid=p2045573.m1684

true, I just meant others of the exact same cover were selling for less even though the top one states VF-NM in the description. Maybe it's the wordy title sucking them in...the ones stagnating at $30 are BINs, people must just like bidding on these. I sold all of mine today. I usually hold on to one copy for my PC, but Im quite happy with what I got so I pulled out completely

Awesome. Like I said I was not aware of what specifically (if anything) lead to its seemingly prompt uptick in interest. I agree it is a very high quality book. Okay, I had the wrong "investment" site, but this is the link that caused Monstress to take off (even before it started getting talked about here): http://investcomics.com/weekly-hot-picks/investcomics-hot-picks-401 It references a previous Hot Pick blog from October 29th: http://investcomics.com/weekly-hot-picks/investcomics-hot-picks-396 Notice the original blog says no copies were on eBay. That original blog came out before Monstress was released on November 4th! Of course there were no copies for sale on eBay. Misleading? Seems so to me... I remember checking eBay when that 2nd blog was posted, and sure enough, Monstress #1 was available for cover price or less. Within days, those copies disappeared. High quality or not, the simple fact is, nobody cared about that comic until that investment site posted about it. Then it sold out very, very quickly. I'm not disputing if the comic warrants the speculation or not. Just saying that is an example of a comic that was hyped on an investment site first, then people became interested using the misleading information that no copies were for sale on eBay. And the reason I remember this, I pointed out back then that this site was manipulating the market for this book. Every new book is featured by these sites now. Just so they say they can told you so. Several of us cared about the book right after we read it. I went back and bought 3 copies at my LCS as soon I read it. Let me tell you it was tough to find nice copies. Every new book is speculated on now. People have disposable income and they are buying 50 copies at a time for some of these books easy. They aren't going to tell you about the ones they lost on. The speculation sites are the same way. Was their some manipulation? Probably its impossible not to have some. But honestly the people saying the like the book aren't people involved with these sites for the most part. The manipulation on raw is much more time consuming then slabbing for them. Its also risky because its easier to get caught. Some of have been thru this before. The card collectors will go away again just like they did last time or they will go broke either way it will settle out in a few years when the movies burn out. By now if you listening to boardies that have been here less then 2 years or so you better know them well. Just urging some caution because no one else will. I think we need another Sixth Gun situation to thin the herd a bit. I remember that. People were driving hours to go to Hastings stores trying to buy all the back issues, etc. I'm glad I never got caught up in the hype. I had one copy and sold it for $20 less than I paid, so I guess I was lucky. I remember people spending 50+ on Adventurers #1 I remember people spending 50++ on Death Of Superman I remember people spending 50 on Spider-Man #1 (all variants) I remember people spending 100s of dollars on boxes of Spawn #1 I remember people spending 100s of dollars on Valiant books TWICE IN A LIFETIME This is not new. This is not going away Rinse & Repeat Man, I hope we are not in that bad of shape. What all those books have in common you listed is they were part of the huge market correction in the 1990s. One way of looking at it. Another is - when the market is HEALTHY - youre gonna have all sorts of buck chasers. Thats not a bad thing for those IN THE KNOW. You'd know not to make the same mistakes that were made a few decades ago, or maybe a few weeks ago. All the rest of them - spend the money, learn the hard way. We'll still have a healthy market when you come back

Your table got some MIGHTY Liefeld legs

Last one http://www.ebay.com/itm/Wolverine-134-Gabriele-Dell-Otto-Variant-Cover-France-RARE-/141951881158?hash=item210cfdcfc6:g:BG0AAOSwzvlW-cxT For you del'rio fans

Also, Batman Knights Of Vengeance 1-3 sets are $20-40, not too sure whats happening there, but if you got em, you may wanna list them

A very mild GO alert here since Im not sure what the condition is: http://www.ebay.com/itm/What-If-Astonishing-X-Men-1-One-Shot-J-Scott-Campbell-Marvel-RARE-/141944095568?hash=item210c870350:g:33cAAOSwxcRW-xfJ Looks like this book spiked at 45.00 in the past but now not as much, so who knows, but if youre a JSC fan then price of course is not an issue. Just get it if you like the cover

Heres to hoping it gets 1237

:whee:

and congrats

I dont "force" anything. I just report sales as I see them, hopefully this helps others with their small fortunes/collecting habits

2 more sales on JL40.. now were left with only one combo for 80 (with 4 watchers and seller away notice) Yup. Im bored sorry.
