Yes, but that was long before Miles Morales even existed and presumably there was extensive negotiating on a number of fronts in the new Marvel-Sony deal, possibly including this. That's wishful thinking. Marvel stepped in to salvage and redeem the legacy of Peter Parker on film. And there have always been plenty of other Spider derivative characters out there. Miles Morales is just another in a long line (and not even the most interesting or best selling one ). Stan Lee is on the record saying that Peter Parker will always be "Spider-Man" on the big screen. Marvel just barely got back their biggest toy. No one is even thinking about Miles Morales (other than maybe all the speculators stock piling copies of ultimate fallout 4). -J. I disagree with you. There was a large amount of support for Donald Glover when he was vying for the Morales role, which can't all have just been Glover love. I've also seen a few people on these very boards previously express interest in him onscreen. Also, nothing Stan Lee says on record matters at all. He has no say in these movies. I think you're forgetting when the rights deal for Spider-man were actually struck. It's common knowledge that Peter Parker as Spider-Man in every (live action) big screen film was part of the deal. Period. -J. Okay, but are you referring to the deal back in the 90s, or in 2014? Both actually. According to all reports I've heard Peter Parker is the only one who will ever be "Spider-Man" in the live action films. It need not specify what "other" Spider-derivative characters that either did exist at the time or will exist in the future. As it stands, it will only be Peter. And thank heavens for that. -J.

No offense intended I honestly am not sure either I was hoping those more knowledgeable would chime in. I posted it here because I didn't want to threadkrap your request. It's just my gut telling me there probably won't be much PM response at those offered prices. Especially for the 29 and 33. -J.

Congrats on the pick up. By the way there's a guy with a WTB request with listed prices that he's willing to pay that seem waaaay too low to me. http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=9405751#Post9405751 -J.

Gets NO love unless it's high grade. There's too many out there but with that scene from X-Men Apocalypse people aren't bashing it nearly as much. It's still being bashed. The storyline has nothing to do with Laura. Attempted ret-con by speculators notwithstanding. -J. Still haven't read the issue have you? Yes I have, have you ? -J. I was buying the title when it came out. We have had this discussion before. I asked this last time it was brought up: Is there any X-23 issue that specifically references Wolverine 80? I just went through Wolverine 80 last week while I was filing some comics and there's nothing in Wolverine 80 that's even close to a connection to X-23. I look at it like this. I read the book at the time. I was quite sure at the time it was plot drop for later. Why else would they put up a vial of his tissue/blood clear labeled for you to see it(94) and have the Native storyline(04) years later with Sabretooth clearly was leading that way. Does it come out and say it nope sure doesn't. Does the potential exist to do so, is really the question. I think it does and at some point it will be referenced. Now keep mind I am not selling this book currently I have a copy or two somewhere, but I would have to dig to find it. To which I respond (and this is from my recollection) : 1) Marvel doesn’t acknowledge it. AT ALL. The earliest reference *I* can find to it is a post on Bleeding Cool c.2014. Bleeding Cool has NO affiliation with Marvel whatsoever. 2) It completely ignores facts established in her origin book: a) Her name has NOTHING to do with a sample name. It specifically refers to the fact she’s the 23rd attempt to create a female clone (“X” refers to X-CHROMOSOME, NOT the Weapon X project). b) The sample she was created from was recovered by Dale Rice during Logan’s escape from Weapon X. Sutter recovered it from his corpse immediately after. There’s no evidence that Dr. Munoz was ever involved with the Facility, or that it ever passed through her hands. It’s fanon. Period. That’s all it ever was, and that’s all it ever WILL be. ESPECIALLY so long as Marvel doesn’t acknowledge it. For anyone to imply that it has “traction” is at BEST laughable. -J.

I can finally uncross my fingers. This book is turning into a monster. Nicely done!

I wonder if I should buy it at $100? I managed to grab one like 4 days ago for $55, that looks to be about an 8.5, but should be pressable and might get a 9 or a 9.2 out of it. I noticed other copies that were in far worse shape (7.5 to 8.0) with many spine tics and color lose on the back spine that were going for $75 plus. Even the Marvel Must Have reprints of NYX3 and NYX 4 are now getting $15 or more. I am 95% sure I have the X-23 Woman of Marvel issue somewhere but have not been able to dig it out yet. There's a 6.5 that is selling for $75. Should I buy it? My gut says this book is going to come back down to earth some. I think that 6.5 will lose about 1/2 its value over the next year. If $75 is not a hardship for you maybe, but be very cautious. That's why I am not to keen of buying it right now. Although I see a lot of people selling it for over $100 now. I wouldn't recommend buying that right now. There's one shilled auction that got everyone believing this book is worth something. It will settle down soon enough. And if you decide you even still want it then, get it then. -J.

Speaking of, this one looks to have gone "next level": http://www.ebay.com/itm/X-23-1-DELL-OTTO-VARIANT-/322140019031?hash=item4b010a9957:g:69wAAOSwnFZXVh7p -J.

No I didn't. That's a cartoon. -J.

"Spider-man" will never be Miles Morales. It was one of the conditions when Marvel optioned the rights to Sony. Spider-Man will always be Peter Parker on film. Period. -J.

Ain't happening. -J.

What the? I knew this book was tough, but had no idea it had blown up in value to $350-$400 Maybe time to sell http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=Ms+Marvel+2+Variant&_sop=16&LH_Complete=1&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.XMs+Marvel+2+Variant+Jorge+Molina.TRS1&_nkw=Ms+Marvel+2+Variant+Jorge+Molina&_sacat=0 Kind of surprised to see so many coming up for sale all at once the past week.... -J.

I didn't know there were prints of that either. I would love to get one too. Would you mind asking the seller if he has another (or can get another )? -J.

Why... First anti venom on cover. If argument is that flash whateve his name is will be the new venom, anti venom Shoukd eventually show up. He's a good guy, has cancer, and looks cool. Been saying that for years. The Granov variant of the first printing (I believe it was a 1:50) is a thousand times better than this (and it's a first printing). -J.

Gator is correct. Assuming the book was not already pressed , pressing will not improve that upprer right hand corner on the front cover. Attempting to do anything to that book (including sending it to CBCS hoping for a gift grade from them ) will more likely than not only reduce its slab value. -J.

Yes, unfortunately shilling sometimes works (that's why it's attempted so often). Don't worry, it will correct soon enough. As it is, it is already at half the last ebay shill price from a week ago. -J.

This is probably a better question in the AF 15 thread but a 6.5 AF 15 just went for $49k I'm the CC auction, and a boardie says he knows of a 7.0 copy with no MC selling for $60k recently. -J.

and yet, I only stock AF 15 with no MC, and I get the same $'s, grade for grade (5.0 and below only so far) for both This may be true on an anecdotal basis, but it hasn't borne out in public auctions, not even this one, where there were like-graded copies of each offered up at the same time. And the 7.0 SC 4 that sold is even further off from even the weakest AF 15 sale in grade. -J.

Yup. As some who have predicted , the SC 4 mini-surge only worked to push up AF 15 prices. -J.

That AF #15 is king again? Boy how fickle the markets are these days! The CGC 4.5 is almost $2k more than the last 4.5 sale a year ago, but only about $800 more than a 4.0 earlier this year. The Voldemort 7.0 would look like a low price if it was in a CGC slab but it's not so the price it went for is probably about right for that slab. AF 15 never stopped being the king. -J.

I linked the accepted offer on the last page. $999 -J.

Anyone see what the Voldemort 7.0 went for ? -J.
