  1. Okay, you got me. Why was eBay in the late 1990s scary? Waitaminute.. You mean it's not scary now???
  2. What do you mean, "your" argument...? what do YOU mean "your argument".. love that movie
  3. Absolutely! Maguire's covers were the first ones to ever spark humor into the action/superhero world. The ones we're so commonly used to seeing today ala Deadool and Harley.. Far faaaaaar ahead of its time Ok, sorry guys, back to your argument
  4. I'll tell ya which bubble definitely burst.. Like.. decades ago
  5. I dont think anyone in their right mind thinks that comic books are a "bubble" anymore. If you do, I feel for you. Comic book titles, genres, styles and.. Gulp.. Variants, come in and out of style. So no point needs to be demonstrated about which age of comics is gonna stay or which will go. It's all in the realm of speculation.. Each one can speculate with the finest of resolution but at the end it's speculation. I can tell you that titles like TrollLords, Red Fox, Thundermace and Fish Police were very sought after in the 80s but they're all going for single dollars and change nowadays.. Did that bubble burst.. Did that market crash? That's silly to say.. They just stopped selling and became less popular until they faded out. If a comic company with a big budget bring all those titles in 20 years time and markets them well, they'll be back in demand but maybe not long enough to sustain and "burst" again. Who knows?? Did you think 2 years ago that Guardians of the galaxy will be a HUGE hit? Did you think 5 years ago that Harley Quinn would be quite possibly the start of a new popular trend in Comics today? Did you see the apocalypse coming with Walking Dead a decade ago? In Black & White? Again?? Nobody knows. There is no bubble people. Comic books are bigger than life today and will remain to be so until the end of days.. Or until the global warming bubble burst OK that last part was just a tease, no hard feelings
  6. I told you that book is hot . . . And they managed to sell that book without being deceitful in their title/description. Ill take one for a buck fifty instead of...
  7. If #3 reg cover starts selling, the variant could be a 100 book by next month.. If the character doesnt go anywhere it'll prolly park at current prices. I dont think it would drop, cause the cover works and its a lower print run
  8. Nonsense.....with all due respect. Before you retroactively offer up an all encompassing market evaluation, you have to cite where you are getting your figures. Copper keys were not "practically worthless" and not obtainable in the late 90's/early 2000's for $5. I was setting up at comic shows in the northeast and ebay regularly at that time.The demand was there.Right around 2000 is when I stopped doing shows and ebay, not resuming either intil 2009 so I am sure of my numbers, in the year 2000. I live in the northeast, which is where pretty much all of the printing took place in that time period so regional convention prices tended to be higher in the west,specifically the midwest.That said, the prices noted below, are on the low end. A couple numbers which I sold some of the books at in raw are..... ASM 252...solid $25 in NM.....Where are you getting $3 from? ASM 300 $50-$100, raw VF to NM. Not $25. Batman Dark Knight 1-4 set. This set sold for $50 in VF/NM, whenever I had it. New Mutants 87 for $5? I routinely sold this book for $20 in NM.New Mutants 98 was going for around $25-50 in VF to NM. That's just a couple of the books........ If anything you said was even remotely true, convention attendees really lost out by not being more tech savvy. I know I wish I had started using eBay before 2004. Then again, the reason I didn't is that I didn't have much money to spend and I can't really regret how I did spend my money. In the year 2000 (not to quote Conan O'brien) people will still spend mo' money in conventions than on eBay.. This statement still holds true today.. Technology or not
  9. I was just taking the really with those big numbers on those books, but Im sure that there were books that were quite lucrative at that time that arent now, some people mentioned Ultimate Spider-Man and Authority awhile back in a post I started about pre WD hot books
  10. My vote DEFINITELY goes to Jon Bernthal. I could def see him as Deathstroke thogh
  11. Right, but thats because at the time Magnus, Lady Death and Gen13 were going for 200-300$
  12. Its nice to see a copper book which was hot when it came out retain its desirability 30 years later, how many books do you know that did that from day one in the past 3 decades?
  13. Dark Knight returns #1 1st Print going for top bucks for awhile, but I believe this one is the most was paid for a raw? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Batman-The-Dark-Knight-Returns-1-1st-Print-Frank-Miller-1986-DC-/221665575714?pt=US_Comic_Books&hash=item339c4c4322&autorefresh=true
  14. WOW! Marvel just released this limited edition Wolverines #3 variant.. Its the Phantomelle Parel Pharrell variant!!!
  15. Looks like shes gonna be an integral part of upcoming wolverines issues according to this http://marvel.com/comics/series/19794/wolverines_2015_-_present
  16. Yeah a strong black female mutant involved in the weapon x program, has a fox sidekick....I see potential here. (thumbs u "You really think were gonna make money with a talking raccoon, walking tree and a squirrel?? you are nuts. N-V-T-S, nuts!"
  17. Just hearing you guys hating on the character/costume confirms to me that Fantomelle is very much in tune with current popular Marvel offerings
