Spec'ing is fun.

Sounds like a few of yall gonna eat steak and lobster this weekend.

9 catching up. 1st FULL app plus her on cover, cmon man, anyone with a brain could of seen IIM 9 is the one to get. and dont even get us started on "2nd prints" is just a color swap, no bueno. Now if IIM 7 2nd print had the cover of IIM9, IIM 7 2nd print would of been selling for $70+ right now, no questions asked, case closed, go home.

Welcome to the $pec game. Where we love to pump our own books.

Swamp thing and animal man were also great runs.

IIM 7 is a first appearance. The market doesn't care about the extent of the appearance with modern books. Content doesn't matter anymore. In the past a reader might value a later appearance of a character over a one panel teaser in a previous issue but that doesn't apply these days. A person with a genuine interest in the Riri Williams character might personally value issue 9 or 10 more than issue 7 because those issues flesh out the character a bit, but that person is in the buying minority. Those issues have no incentive variants. They have no reprints with lower print numbers. Thats because the modern flipper doesnt read comic books today. I agree with the IM7/IM9. To me issue 9 AoA variant has the biggest potential, the AoA was a 1:1 variant not a 1 :10, 1:25 etc... It dont hurt to get issues 7 to 10 for Riri fans. Issue 9 will organically grow where as issue 7 only is in demand because is a pump and dump book. Way too many new people learning the ropes in this hobby trying to find that next kamala/x23 book, that new hot #1 series. We got people buying and praising Lois N Clark 1 as being new superboys 1st app, then turn around the next week and say superboy 19 is the "real" 1st app, when this are clearly 2 diff people like someone once said "that speaks volumes" as to where people are today when it comes to comics. At the end of the day people can spend their cash however they please, and the new boys in the hobby should do some research and learn it that way, but is good for them to get a few dents along the way and follow that weekly flavor of the week, just dont fall asleep with those books on your hands. Anyways, enough of that. Pre heat pis for IIM 7/9 AoA Moon girl also building a following Duke thomas cooling down but will surely pick up heat soon. Carol danvers gaining traction once again. I posted a picture of AS 9 on IG and with in 2 hours had like 10 people ask me if the book was for sale. At this point it wouldnt be a bad idea to load up on carol danvers tougher books. PS east of West is legit!

Details please. ps, I need a sig like yours, so cool!

Anyone here interested in Riri? Marvel just released a new picture for their upcoming "reboot" and has Riri front and center. People have been buying Invincible iron man 7, a small cameo at best. Not bad if you are into cameos, BUT if you want a real full app maybe look into invincible iron man 9, also check out that age of apocalypse variant for IM9....gold? Seems like this variant has all the ingredients to be a success. Still can be found at your a LCS. Small risk with big potential for the long term.

Maybe not heating up, but now we should have an idea on the value of red hood the lost days 1 1:25. $400, at least for one person.

My bad, had no idea. Death stroke 58 and 60 have never found during my hunting trips.

Red hood 1 1:25

ECCC 2016 Books received on 4/27 [went to CCS 1st] As of today still says "graded" all my friends already got their books back over 7 days ago. My paris books I already received, they were submitted via a CGC dealer....so maybe they prioritize bigger accounts 1st before new accounts, I opened my account at ECCC Both orders submitted with fast track.

Interesting to see what itll end at. But for 1500 personally ill rather buy batman 121

Looks shilled.....?

thats a garbage book, nyx 3 is the book to own.

i sold two different books for new highs this week. If i mention both books here and talk about them and throw a copynof each on ebay for 15 dollars over my last sells does that make me a "pump n dump"? /sarcasm I got like 3 copies left of each book. but naw, i wont mention them.....ill just keep hunting for them and buy any low priced copy i can find....then list at my current sale prices.....now thats how this game is played fellas....keep everything hush hush n keepnthe wheels spinning. im just kidding..

Yea.....

Yeah, that pretty much sums it up. If nothing is happening between the pages in these variants, then why will people give a damn about them 20 - 30 years from now? Because of cover art? Crazy yes, some of us buy good looking covers. I love variants, if the variant is sweet I buy it, if is a sweet variant plus is a key is a win win for me.

Two new highs have been set on 2 new books, but no mention here yet

1. Grail (long term) 2. Duke Thomas (heat is just getting started) 3. Jessica Cruz (will be interesting to see what Marvel DC does with her) 4. Alpha (is not Negan, short term heat (but I could absolutely be wrong ))

No, because it was never about that. Jerome I know you may have trouble understanding this, but books selling for lots of money due to manufactured rarity doesn't make them grails (the most overused word on this message board). Heh, my spellchecker doesn't like the word "grails" for some reason. You're right, it isn't the "manufactured rarity" or the fact that they sell for lots of money that makes them "grails".... The fact that they are "earnestly pursued and/or sought after" by many, many collectors does. And the term "key" is what is thrown around the boards far too often, not "grail". A grail can be anything to anyone by its very definition. -J. Then everything is a grail, which makes the word completely meaningless. You still haven't come up with a reasonable explanation for why the Batman/Superman 4 isn't on your list. Foreign REPRINT. The criteria as laid out in the first post states that reprints were not considered. No, the criteria says that subsequent printings of issues are excluded ("First prints only"). The book is question is a first print Batman/Superman 4 from Panini. If CGC 9.8s are the only things that matter, please make a video where you burn most of your sig line. TIA. batman/superman 4 is not on par with the dirty dozen.

That copy looks 9.8 sharp....i tapped out at 150

No cover pics?

Wolverine 80 should see a bump too
