  1. How much did you get for that giant ad on the back?
  2. That's not what the comparison was. The OP stated that people stopped having an interest in cards because they bought them for statistics which are now available online.
  3. I have a bunch of the Bloodstone arc that I would sell for less than my cost. Interested?
  4. Not hard to get a print of a Warhol either but that somehow still holds value.
  5. Wikipedia is a free encyclopedia, written collaboratively by the people who use it. It is a special type of website designed to make collaboration easy, called a wiki. Many people are constantly improving Wikipedia, making thousands of changes per hour.
  6. This website says Adams did the ink work. http://comicbookdb.com/issue.php?ID=22049
  7. Yes, they are sitting on long boxes of action figure and other horrible variants. Harley 1:25 variants are not easy to find, especially in multiples from what I have seen. Also, I'll restate that these were in a short box labeled "new additions" meaning they had just added them to their backstock and it was a smaller shop that would probably not be ordering 50 copies of any book.
  8. As I stated before, you could apply this to ANY comic. The general public simply doesn't know if there are boxes in a warehouse, how many file copies, etc... For instance, I recently purchased the first prototype of a popular independent character for below market value. Why was it below market? The comic itself has multiple stories in it. One of the creators of one of the other characters that didn't take off had a case of the issue in their closet. Obviously for personal reasons. They leaked out about 10-15 this time. What is considered scarce, low print, hard to find etc... is all relative to the market at any given time. This is not unique to variants.
  9. Just picked up the first comic appearance of New Mutants!
  10. I don't think there has been a 9.8 newsstand that sniffed $3,000. I guess if you factor in Austrian currency conversion it's $2,280 which is close.
  11. Possible movie reincarnations. Personally I just think it's a cool book. I think I have a couple in the PC. Maybe others are starting to realize it as well.
  12. I went to a shop this weekend that had two new copies of about 10 of the Harley 1:25s released over the last year. They were priced at $5-6 each. I think it was more than is listed here. a quick look on eBay showed the issues the store had were being listed for about that much. They were going for $25+ when they were released. I know it's not uncommon to have that kind of price drop but for variants but for that title and the issues it seems suspicious.
  13. Yes, so what I'm gathering is your friend works for the publisher of the comic. Most likely those comics were never meant to be in circulation. There was a seller on eBay recently who was obviously in possession of comics that were not released yet. The logic would be that they were taking them from work or selling for someone who was.
  14. Everything you just said could be applied to any comic book, not just variants.
  15. Interesting, I remember this story but I don't think the art was ever shown. Your "friend" doesn't work for a printing company, do they?
