But, but it was released after Batman 608 . . . Not according to the cover date! (and it was never "released" it was handed out directly to retailers at a summit- hence the "RRP".) Facts. -J. Btw, that was a joke . . . and please "summit". Where was it, Camp David? Slow day at the office today ? -J. You too? Erm......yeah. -J.

Damn. Now that is impressive. -J.

It's still a lot. You're right, this rare 14 year old Batman variant that's part one of a famous storyline is nowhere near the caliber of the bronze and copper age dreck you're usually talking about. -J.

You're confused. Yes, every comic book is "manufactured" and has an intrinsic value, e.g., it's cover price. A "collectible", however, is something that has an extrinsic value to collectors. "Manufactured collectible" is a term to describe an item that has no real extrinsic value beyond it's intrinsic value (except to those with really poor judgment). Of course,we could argue all day about the validity of sales price vs. FMV, and whether or not the "market" is a clear index of extrinsic value, but your use of the term is entirely incorrect. I disagree with your opinion. And if you don't believe that virtually every comic book printed during the last 40 years give or take has been done so as a future potential "collector's item" , ie a "manufacturer collectible ", then you're in the wrong line of work. Hell, they even say it on the cover sometimes. Also, Batman 608RRP is the first appearance (and Part One ) of "Hush". -J.

Looks like a 9.6 SS came and went fast (a new all time GPA high by over $600 and nearly triple what the identical copy sold for just last November ): http://item.ebay.co.uk/371548552366?item_hash4=dd75cf54&LH_Complete=1&LH_BIN=1&LH_BO=1&_ipg=200&_pgn=1&rc=nt&rmvSB=true -J.

yeah, probably shouldn't be on this thread. Think we need a Dell Otto appreciation thread? Same with Adam Hughes and Jim Lee? You read my mind buddy. -J.

The last blue label went for $1380 a month ago: http://www.ebay.com/itm/361467874110?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT -J.

Rarity does not automatically equal "value". There are plenty of JSC covers, even some great ones , that aren't worth squat. And the amount of those will no doubt increase exponentially if he continues to crank out material as he has been of late. -J.

Didn't they reprint Superior 20 also? -J.

Me too! As I predicted I think those "cover reprints" have rightfully reignited interested in the OG copy. -J.

Awesome copy! Welcome to the club. I'm sure Snikt Will be around shortly to make it official. -J.

This $2000 somebody just paid for a 9.4 makes $3k for a 9.8 look like a relative "bargain": http://item.ebay.co.uk/252274959544?item_hash4=965e1a9b&LH_Complete=1&LH_BIN=1&LH_BO=1&_ipg=200&_pgn=1&rc=nt&rmvSB=true -J.

There is a 9.8 on feebay. Buy it now or best offer $1800. First blue label 9.8 offered in over a year. Looks like it was just graded a couple weeks ago too. -J. I bought a 9.8 last year for $300 from Ebay - fairly happy with that now! Nice ! Was it a deal that you worked out off ebay like lethal_collector just did his? I haven't seen one on there since December 2014 (last reported public sale on GPA sale as well). -J.

I bought a 9.8 last year for $300 from Ebay - fairly happy with that now! Yeah, I would be stoked. Lucky! Way to snag it early man! It looks like that UXM 510 Campbell 9.8 listing ended, I guess no nibbles? I wonder what his best offer was? Jerome A $4500 offer was declined, last I heard. Jerome Thanos88 knows the seller and said the highest offer was $4k the first time he listed it. Don't think he got any the second time he listed it. -J.

Holy Shyt! I think I have that book at home. always good to find a book that you didnt know is actually worth something. But it sucks to be on the other side & know that that's a book that you don't have but needed for a collection that you weren't really focusing on at the moment. Now knowing that when you do get over to working on THAT run, at least one of the books is going to be unnecessarily expensive all of a sudden. Wow dude, just wow! http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=0&_sop=16&_nkw=Uncanny%20X%20Force%20%2320&LH_Complete=1&LH_Sold=1&rt=nc&_trksid=p2045573.m1684 I'm getting in on that action. ^ ^ ^ ^ Hey I just bought that from you! ^ ^ ^ ^ Thanks Carter! -J.

Well that didn't take very long. -J.

63- Total Slabs 9.8- 21 (14 blue, 7 yellow) -J. Just wait will hit 40 at years end I'd be surprised if it's more than 25. -J. 63- Total Slabs 9.8- 21 (14 blue, 7 yellow) -J. Just wait will hit 40 at years end I'd be surprised if it's more than 25. -J. You hope its under 25 I wouldn't care if it's a hundred. But I do think it will be as equally "tough" in a 9.8 as the ASM 678 variant. -J.

Is this book heating up again? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Teenage-Mutant-Ninja-Turtles-1-NM-1984-WHITE-5-000-Feedback-E6-111-cm-/351454024211?hash=item51d44ad213:g:mu4AAOSw3ydVpLGQ&rmvSB=true -J

I saw that one too. A 9.6 ASM 688 also went for $525 yesterday. http://item.ebay.co.uk/222008599834?item_hash4=8453d2ee&LH_Complete=1&LH_BIN=1&LH_BO=1&_ipg=200&_pgn=1&rc=nt&rmvSB=true -J
