  1. Well damn! 70s or earlier books in the 9s?? shoot me a pm immediately!!!
  2. Absolutely. The theme to this show is the best Ive heard in years. There are many covers to it on YouTube. Here’s another cool one
  3. Another one which I think is undervalued is Evil Ernie 1... And same concept as Rocketeer... No appearance on the cover, no hype, but in the book tucked in neatly is the first appearance of the undisputed queen of modern tongue in cheek bad girl covers And im not saying it cause I just recently got two copies :-D
  4. I love the fact that its a "hidden" back up. No cover, no hype, just a beautiful B-Side for a good record. Kinda like a Bill Haley Rock Around the Clock. The record flopped but you play the B side and its a fuggin anthem... I mean Im not taking anything away from Mike Grells cover, but here youre talking about... damn... Dave effin Stevens... The modern king of cheesecake covers presented to us in a hidden back up story. Love it!
  5. I’d say uf4 & eosv2 are the nm98 & asm 300 of the millennials
  6. Looks like im gonna have to start "erroring" alot of books if i get such a return
  7. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Catwoman-6-DCU-DC-UNIVERSE-LOGO-VARIANT-1-OF-A-KIND-ERROR-MISPRINT-MISCUT-/153802634757 What the heck?!
  8. F*%#! Was just at my unit the other day and came across that run. Wanted to pull it out to list but figured nah I’ll do it next time. Ok... back to the storage unit tomorrow
  9. 90% of those offered daily on Kickstarter and the likes
  10. eBay likely sold stubhub because of pressure from investors. The company isn’t getting support from many of them and they needed to show them that they are responsible with their budgets
  11. the other thing that almost certainly interests ICE with this purchase will be the implementation of cryptocurrency within ebay There are many ways this can play out
  12. True. Couple that with hard data accumulated over two decades and analytics of all those sub markets that transact on eBay and you can see why Mr Sprecher is VERY interested in taking the helm over at the bay.
  13. The only problem here is that eBay doesn’t understand its strength. It keeps wanting to be like Amazon and that’s the reason why it’s crawling on shaky grounds. It’s ipo is lower than it was 2 years ago, it lays off more and more workers, it broke its ties with PayPal since PayPal clearly didn’t need them anymore and its platform has many issues. And instead of concentrating on all those shortcomings they dedicate as much, if not more effort into their classified division. I would totally welcome a buyout from ICE. Especially now, knowing what their chairman vision is of the platform
  14. Earlier this week Intercontinental Exchange boss Jeffrey Sprecher reached out to eBay to possibly buy the company, This is the second time in a period of 10 years that ICE (Which also owns the New York Stock Exchange) has reached out for this buyout. It kinda got me to wonder what does mr Sprecher finds so interesting about eBay that makes him pursue it for so long. Well, today we heard a possible reason https://www.cnbc.com/2020/02/07/ebay-is-more-like-the-nyse-than-amazon-says-intercontinental-exchange-ceo-jeffrey-sprecher.html He brings about many interesting things with this perspective, some which I never thought about before, and to be honest I think that the fact that he sees eBay as a dominant collectible market aligns well with the state of all markets that exchange there as a whole, including the comic book market. I doubt that mr Sprecher's vision is shared with eBay though, it seems like they are more interested in competing with Amazon, Ali-Baba and the likes. Furthermore eBay's higher focus is on selling listings to sellers and packaging stores and advertising options to them instead of enhancing the collectible market that holds a high share of their platform. What are your thoughts?
  15. Starslayer #2 has plenty of room to grow - esp with Disney+ doing many exciting things Destroyer Duck #1 seriously undervalued 1st Issue Special #8 - a totally dead property which held as much market share with DC as Shang Chi did with Marvel. Great stories and art hold this one higher than most of the crash and burn runs DC/Marvel had in the 70s-80s.
  16. So what did we learn about humans behavior in the 00s people love attention more than money sometimes
  17. Yes but appearance is not relevant here. Star Wars 1 appeared before the movie came out as well but that still doesn’t make it a comic book property. Again, not to discredit their importance with collectors in general, but these book just do not have significant key status because they are not exclusive comic book creations
  18. The way eBay is performing lately it looks like it may be eBay RIP pretty soon as well
