    There are none. There are characters that have actually already been in plenty of video games, cartoons, and successful live action movies even that don't sell for that. ....and that's your first red flag. -J.

    Still suffering from ASM 667 Derangement Syndrome I see. You've only been wrong for nearly 10 years now, no need to break the streak now I suppose. -J.

    Daredevil 168, hulk 271, iron man 55, Asm 238, asm 129, giant size x-men 1, etc etc etc. -J.

    I vehemently disagree with morales not being a spec chatacter. People weren't allegedly paying those prices for any version of UF 4 based on cartoons and video games , it was on the speculation that morales would somehow be in No Way Home, despite marvel not having the rights, and it's still based on the dream that he will get a solo live action movie at some point in the next decade. My personal opinion is that miles was little more than a pandemic flash in the pan, and beneficiary of a particular political environment that is already waning. As for the 667, I'm not going to rehash for the millionth time what it has "going for it", however sufficeth to say it is much more than the fact that just a couple hundred were printed 12 years ago. There's lots of rare variants out there that sell for little or nothing and many of those (*gasp!) have first appearances. -J.

    "Newsstand" has never been a "thing" on this book, and if you believe a hobby wide break down in prices is something to take a victory lap over on this one book, which incidentally is still holding quite well compared to most other books from its era, then I have a bridge to sell ya. -J.

    That calculus has changed in the spec age where a characters potential appearance in a movie or TV show and the degree of success/failure of that can completely make or break a book. Miles morales is a spec character and there are loads of copies of the UF 4 variant out there, most auctions seem to have at least one 9.8 copy for sale nowadays including the two copies coming up on heritage, as well as lower grades, not to mention for sale on ebay and instagram every day. It literally is the warehouse book that plenty of people in this forum at one point speculated the ASM 667 Dell'otto "could be". ASM 667 will always be king. -J.

    Yeah Luiz is oretty terrible with his projedtons- as if this holiday weekend where this was essentially the only movie for people to see, is going to extrapolate out exactly the same until Avatar comes out. This movie is a month old next weekemd, and most people who want to see it will have. It will be a slog for this to even get to $850M. -J.
  8. Jaydogrules
    Agreed 100%. But if the franchise does survive, they have set up a somewhat workable backdoor recast that preserves the name of the character at least (though it would have been easier to simply recast via the multiverse device). At the end I think the #notchallanoticket movement did hurt it noticeably. -J.
  9. Jaydogrules
    So with international.... about an $850M finish. Half a billion less on a $50M larger budget compared to the first one. Not great, and yet still more than it deserves. -J.

    ...with heaters. Heaters. 🤮 -J.
  11. Jaydogrules
    This short summary is a perfect example of how "mind numbingly" stupid this movie was. Well made, yes, big budget, yes, schlock, yes . -J.
  12. Jaydogrules
    Thank you ! -J.
  13. Jaydogrules
    @Bosco685 What do you show as the budget for the first movie ? -J.
  14. Jaydogrules
    Interesting. I think I'm the only person here that actually thought and predicted several weeks ago, long before it came out, that this would finish as low as 400MM and here we are.... -J.

    #1 ASM 667 Dell'otto and #2 on the list UF 4 variant are going head to head on comiclink current auction. It will be interesting to see if absolute rarity/cover art continue to trump a first appearance of a modern character. I suspect it will. ASM 667 is just too big of a white buffalo. It will also be interesting to see if the fact that TWO other 9.8 copies off UF 4 are coming up in the next heritage auction next month will affect anything one way or another. -J.

    Context- The ebay copy sold for $17k and the one that's a whole $500 under that is shipping from Australia. Also, auctions and buy it nows are two different animals, ie an auction for a 9.8 (that hasn't happened in several months on ebay) will create more of a FOMO than a guy in Australia trying to sell his copy for a tiny fraction less (because he is in Australia) as a buy it now. -J.
  17. Jaydogrules
    How many copies of hulk 181 are "just sitting there"? What do you think that proves? -J.
  18. Jaydogrules
    It made very little, if anything theatrically and nobody cares about Oscars. The sequel was tracking poorly for its October release so they pushed it to next June. But yeah, muh "future". Lol -J.
  19. Jaydogrules
    Ruh-roh. Mid-week business has been below Love and Thunder so far. Not what Disney was expecting or hoping for, I'm sure. -J.
  20. Jaydogrules
    Still confused. That cartoon made a paltry 375M or whatever and had other spider ripoff characters in addition to Parker still. Meanwhile the last spider-man made nearly 2 billion dollars. Who's looking to replace that? Lol And Venom has already showed himself to be the "next big thing" at Sony, and the only character that has shown any capacity to be successful as a standalone (ie, no Peter Parker at all, so far at least). -J.
  21. Jaydogrules
    Why those 3 and not any of the other 5000 spider-man derivative characters trotted out over the last 40+ years ? -J.
  22. Jaydogrules
    🤔 The market has settled a bit. I'll try to do a year end one. -J.
  23. Jaydogrules
    That's what I was thinking. Plus only a couple blue label 9 8's come up a year, if at all, and the book is over 12 years old now, hard to believe. -J.
  24. Jaydogrules
    Hell yes wow. This is easily Campbell's best cover and I've always thought it would end up being his most sought after. This sale would put at #3 on the "most valuable" list. -J.
  25. Jaydogrules
    At this point I'm just waiting for hbomax. At first I was going to skip it altogether but I'll catch it there based on your and a couple other people's comments. I saw don't worry darling is already on there. -J.
