Almost skipped this lot, but when I looked through the pics I found a cool little nugget which justified this 17.00 purchase (sent offer in). Can you spot it?? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Silver-Surfer-26-Book-Lot/323732367878

A couple of nice books this week https://www.ebay.com/itm/Frank-Thorne-RED-SONJA-ARTISTS-EDITION-vol-1-Dynamite-2014-Comic/273746120534 https://www.ebay.com/itm/FRANKENSTEIN-MARVEL-ILLUSTRATED-NOVEL-LARGE-SIZE-Illustrated-by-Wrightson/192855107975 As expected, this book arrived in pristine condition with bright white pages to boot. Not that it matters with OOP books, but this one's a first print

Now that chicks are into comic books, I don't know how on earth did Calvin Klein not put out a cologne made out of that old vintage smell. At least a deodorant... SOMETHING!

Also Starbucks is not a franchise so if u wanna make them wealthier by opening a store for them it will cost you 315k (at least that's what goggle says)

The only way someone can make a living from a store in a big city nowadays is if they own the store. Otherwise it just doesn't make sense anymore. Between rent, taxes, regulations, competition, and whatever overhead your store has, you don't make any money. Most successful business that I know around here make a great living because they own the properties of which they work out of.

I go to busy bee mall to get my iPhone cover and screen protector

Many... over 40... and they're all masterpieces

I believe @Buzzetta got a glimpse of the original art from that book at Metropolis museum? Maybe he can share images here?

Yes it is. I got one for $30 yesterday. Couldn't believe my luck as it looks and described to be in amazing shape. Will post pics when I receive it

Frankenstein is by far his greatest accomplishment. If you're looking for rarities look no further than Creepshow original Hardcover edition. That book is a ghost good luck

Got it for $30

You da man! now lets see if i can find something to buy hehe

This show, in the mind of speculators, was the next walking dead. Thats how everyone in the market felt. It was the perfect storm. A niche market with Vertigo readers, a presumed low supply of 9.8s, same network as WD... this WILL BE the next walking dead!!! But the fans werent there because the only fans that existed prior to the show were the speculators. And they were left with themselves and their stock

There is no proof to a good or bad spec. Things happen. A show/movie can be good and prices wouldnt change dramatically. Actually that happens more often than a failed show/movie. The reality is that there are not many Walking Dead/Umbrella academy type spikes in price. Actually I cant think of any other than those 2? Which comic book property shot through the roof when a successful show/movie hit (not before)? Does that mean there arent ANY good shows/movie other than WD/UA? Surely there are. The only reason why WD and UA are where they are in my opinion is because of the fans. Gerard Way has a cult followers, exactly like Kirkman always had. In my honest opinion, UA is not better that Preacher. Preacher is a well made show, there are many many similarities between preacher and UA... Captures the same demographics, Anti-establishment, Very young at heart and pro-fem, similar soundtrack, Almost same characters (Cassidy=Klaus)... Heck, even similar villains (the 2 guys that were trying to capture preacher and had that briefcase, very similar to chacha and hazel in UA) I dont think preacher is a bad show, certainly not a flop It was just expectation and over the top speculation. REAL demand was never there for the book.

Its economy 101 really. The inflated amount of Preacher 1 submissions caused the book to crash once the smoke cleared. In other words the demand was purely spec driven. Once the speculators realized that the book had no real demand, after hundreds of submissions were sent in WHILE it was being speculated, they ditched the book. As a result the market was left with a flood of Preacher 1 supply that no one could use anymore. This happens all the time. But never with a book that was so so sooooo far up there in price

So it appears that DC is licensing out all these foil "limited" editions lately. It started off with Tech 880, now theres one for Bats 428 and a new one for Harley/Alex Ross.. I hope that this doesnt start a new "variant" trend https://www.ebay.com/itm/Batman-Harley-Quinn-1-Alex-Ross-Foil-Exclusive-NM-DC/233163714242?hash=item3649a3eec2%3Ag%3AZYgAAOSwo4VchqoX&LH_BIN=1 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Batman-428-ACE-comic-con-foil-edition-RARE-NM-copies/292991133060?epid=85360914&hash=item4437a1e584%3Ag%3A4UYAAOSwIt5cbBx9&LH_BIN=1
