    And down to 65 on metacritic. That RT score is a bit of a joke. -J.

    FF 5 certainly made nice gains last year (FF 4 to a lesser extent), but was no FF1 or X men 1 which essentially more than doubled and tripled in many grades. Is there anything you think that could do something remotely like that this year, or even just go up a "measly" additional 50%? -J.

    Think you're forgetting about Dumbo which comes out March 29 as well. I agree with @Gatsby77 unless this movie has insanely positive word of mouth, Jordan Peele takes it down in two weeks, then Dumbo, then Shazam, etc. This movie basically gets two weeks to pad its coffers as much as possible. There really is a reason Disney is dropping it literally everywhere in one shot. Seems to be a tacit acknowledgement that even they expect it to be very front-loaded. -J.

    I read (a rumour?) somewhere that they used a body double for certain "rear" shots. Meanwhile, in other news, is it the same RT "trolls" pushing this film's early IMDb to a 5.6? https://m.imdb.com/title/tt4154664/?ref=m_nv_sr_1 -J.

    Yes it does. And NO reported sales include sales tax, or whatever other logical fails you're trying to use to justify your lost arguments. -J.

    No. The reflected price on GPA includes the premium. The price was $4560. And sure you can believe whatever you like. Realized sales don't back it up however. -J.

    How do you know that sale wasn't just a continuation of the across the board price increases that this book has been experiencing ? You don't. And by the way that copy sold for $4560, not "almost $5k". But to answer your question, in mid-January a book with "ow/w" sold for $4100 which was the highest price ever paid for the grade until the sale you mention on heritage mid feb. In that time there were books with "white pages" on the label that sold for somewhat less. And subsequent to the high sale on heritage you mention, another copy with "white pages" on the label sold for $4200 on Feb 22, which for some reason is over $300 less than the other copy with "white pages" on the label, and in line with what the "ow/w" copy sold for six weeks ago. So what does it all mean? It means nothing. -J.

    I agree about Avengers 1, but certainly part of what holds that back is what holds back Daredevil 1 and x men 1- relative abundant availability. Just check the census of those compared to IH 1 and JIM 83 and ToS 39. IH 1 had its surge. JIM 83 really has not, but Thor really isn't a Marvel creation, is he? ToS 39 seems to be just rare enough, with the character now being popular and as important enough, to get to some next level pricing. Seems to be percolating, if not already happening.... -J.

    What sales ? Show me. And then I will show you an equal amount that don't. -J.

    Except.... they don't. -J.

    Larson was the "trendy" pick for the role when Marvel made it. And I don't think the people who made that pick actually saw "Room". I challenge anyone here to sit through that movie in come out of it extolling the acting prowess of Larson. And if you don't feel like doing that I will summarize the entire movie for you right here: First half- Small child yelling and crying hysterically and relentlessly inside the Room. Second half- Brie Larson yelling and crying hysterically and relentlessly outside the Room. Interesting concept for a movie though. -J.

    Of course everybody loves Strange. But he'll be no Tony Stark this year- I'm still sticking with ToS 39. A 6.0 just sold $11.3k on ebay- another GPA high for a mid-grade. -J.

    Keep that dream a-lie-ve. -J.

    This article is almost entirely a thought experiment in how the movie "could" make up to $350MM and less an analysis of actual tracking. Also, this number represents a worldwide release, including China. Disney making a concerted effort to front-load this thing as much as possible. -J.

    +1 I'm sure they will have no issues cutting a Gator a little slack. It still means somebody else nuked your accidental bid though. -J.

    It's a breach of contract so they could sue if they were inclined. -J.

    Yeah I noticed that too. Lots of 2.5' out of 4's, 3 out of 5's, B-'s and 6 out of 10's. Just enough to tip the movie toward an artificially high aggregate. If I was more of a jaded soul I would say that "critics" are grading this (and other, similar movies of its ilk) with an RT aggregate in mind, and little else. -J.
  21. Jaydogrules
    This isn't as uncommon as some people think. Two people both put in nuclear bids that neither one thinks will be beaten. *Presto* An outlier result. Winning bidder should pay. Sometimes you just have to stand up and take your lumps. In 5 years even this price may look like the good old days. -J.

    Nice looking Cap 1, 7.0 up to $202k on comicconnect auction with a week to go. -J.

    His sweet spot is 2009-2013. After that he became a self-contained speculation cottage industry as everyone assumed (hoped) everything he put out would be "the next" Wolverine 1, Black Panther 1, ASM 688, or whatever. Nothing has, or even close, not even to a Superior Spider-Man 20 level (his last genuinely good variant cover), so perhaps the speculators are moving on. The upside to that is it should leave more breathing room for actual fans and collectors. -J.

    Coolest. Thing. Ever. -J.

    It was the "want to see" score that RT just changed up. And FWIW, RT, and critics in general I've stopped paying attention to at all since Roger Ebert passed. -J.
