I really dig that old man Logan and his Spider-Man 1 (McFarlane) recreation. I guess I also shouldn't be surprised that the two images on the banner behind him are his most famous, the ASM 667 and the German/French Batman cover. -J.

It really was a nice 6.5, regardless of who graded it. Anything close to $83k for a 6.5 is an outstanding result. -J.

Hi Peter. Any idea what that Voldy 6.5 went for? -J.

I have purchased 10 slabs from Jerome. All priced fairly and honestly and packed and shipped flawlessly. Great seller and a great guy. Buy with confidence. -J.

I'm assuming this is going to be a virgin.... -J.

Those are very nice. Congrats on the grades. -J.

At worst, it's a wash. Spider-man being in Civil War first likely put an extra $100-$150MM in that movie's tank. It's a bit of a non-starter really since the entire point of the exercise is for a shared cinematic universe between Marvel and Sony. Both studios have already mutually benefited greatly from the partnership. -J.

Say what? Downey Jr. had about ten minutes screen time total in Homecoming. Okay so by your logic(?), Civil War (a billion dollar + earner) was essentially "Spider-man Homecoming- the Prequel", since Spider-man was in that for about 15 minutes. That means two Spider-Man movies have made about a total of 2 billion dollars in two years. Looks good to me. -J.

My understanding is that CGC does not downgrade for bindery tears. -J.

A lot of those metal variants, by other artists have been reported to have spine damage. I doubt CGC would consider those to be "manufacturing defects". -J.

This is a different market than when the first set of movies came out, the novelty factor of superhero movies is gone, now people just want to see a good movie. Homecoming was a good movie and is one of the few bright spots in an otherwise dismal summer at the box office. Planet of the Apes tool a calculated risk to release kneweek after Homecoming, and paid the price big time at the box office, but still likely took a bite out of Homecoming's second week numbers. And still, it's shown to have long legs. Marvel not only showed Sony to make a good Spider-Man movie, they showed them how to make a smart one (financially speaking). It's been said that Spidey's extended intro in Civil War likely pumped $100MM extra into that movie's coffers. Homecoming will likely end with between $820-$850MM, which is a fantastic multiple and a very good result for a solo hero project (particularly one on his sixth individual outing in 16 years). Those are numbers very close to what Wonder Woman will do, and that's with the advantage of releasing earlier in the year against no or weak competition for a solid month, and near universal critical and SJW fawning, and being Wonder Woman's first solo movie ever in that character's 75 year+ history. With that individual novelty now worn off time will tell how well that character "ages" on the big screen, particularly after what is likely to be an extensive appearance in (if early reports are any indication) a really terrible JLA movie. Regardless of all of the non-stop heaps of acclaim , I still find Gal Gadot miscast for that role, the movie overly long and tedious, narratively disjointed and choppy and the SJW themes of the movie as about as subtle as a jackhammer to the side of the head during nap time. Meanwhile I found Holland's performance genuinely wide eyed and earnest, and perfect for the MCU. While that movie was also 30 minutes too long, and too jokey (a problem I have with almost ALL marvel movies) it at least had a smooth narrative and one single compelling villain performance by a great , seasoned actor who nailed it. -J.

I honestly can't tell if you're serious or not.... -J.

This guy is predicting a final worldwide tally of around $820MM. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.forbes.com/sites/markhughes/2017/08/18/spider-man-homecoming-headed-to-780-million-worldwide/amp/ That's a 4.68 multiple (highest since Spider-Man 1, by a lot) But it's a "flop". -J.

Press that. -J.

Picked up a couple of 5 figure, high end variants from Jermoe. This is my third transaction with him. Pleasure to deal with, as always, books weee priced fairly, were packed perfectly, and shipped immediately. Pleasure to do business with as always, good seller, great friend. Thanks Jerome! -Jay

Gorgeous looking book nonetheless. Have you purchased the graders' notes ? One, even two tiny colour breaking spine ticks won't stop a book from being a 9.8. A 9.8 is not a perfect book. -J.

I have no idea. I think less people want sigs in general than those who do. I think too many books are signed in general as it is. But that just my opinion, like I said, I'm not an SS guy. There are also a lot more ASM 15's than 667's. -J.

I don't know if it would add any value to it at all. The book exists in a kind of vacuum as it is. It's possible more collectors would rather have it in its original state than signed, or wouldn't necessarily pay anything "extra" if it were signed, especially at these price points. -J.

I would be very leery and even a little scared about cracking it and getting it signed. But then again , I'm not much of an SS guy. Though I can understand the appeal of getting it a little personalized after what you spent for the privilege of owning a copy. I would probably limit it to just Dell'otto. I really like the "tic tac toe" sig style he uses sometime. That might look kind of cool if done in a decent spot on the book and not too big. But I'd still be worried about the book being damaged in some way during the process. That's always the chance you take when you crack for a signature. -J.

I have no idea what the interior indicia says. All I know is that it was announced and released as a third printing, has a later publication month than the first printing, and has a third printing UPC on the front cover. -J

It's on the UPC. -J.

The Bats 608RRP has multiple 9.8 copies sell for $5k+ this year. Prior to that , the highest price paid publicly for an ASM 667 Dell'otto was $4k for a 9.6 about a year and a half ago. A 9.8 667 did sell privately for $9k eight months ago, but I don't use private sales for the Most Valuable Modern Variant list. -J

Damn you're a baller my man. Big time congratulations. I think it was just listed on ebay, what an hour ago ? I'm glad to see a fellow boardie snag it. You are now offically in one of the most exclusive clubs for modern comics, and the owner of one of the all time rarest ASM's, painted by one of the best artists working today. And , as a side bonus, the 667 Dell'otto moves back to #1 on the Most Valuable Modern Variant list with a bullet. -J.

No, it was a third printing of Saga 1 that was sent out to the attendees of a Diamond retailer summit: https://summits.diamondcomics.com/Home/1/1/54/787?articleID=118463 -J.

You've been sharing some great info. Thank you. -J.
