  1. The Uncle Scrooge 1:25 variants sell for as much, if not more, than some of the popular Marvel variant artists. I have no interest and see no reason to speculate on any or most of the Marvel variants. You're probably in the wrong thread. Either that or why bother comment if that is your approach?

  3. Who said the market would be flooded? It was said in multiple places that it was not announced in the Previews who the artist was until later and was assumed most retailers did not know this. As I said before, you're trying to buy at the worst time. Sellers love buyers like this. Fair opinion, but I think it is the best time to get it before it becomes too hard to find in high grade. J.Scott Campbell covers have that $ Memory like New Mutants 98 does. Once they start selling for a certain price, they hardly let up. If you think this book in particular will cool off and prices come down, it may take a few years, not the few months if at all. I haven't seen a scramble this hard for a Campbell cover, even more than Renew your Vows #1 1:50!. I usually never have this much trouble finding a book at a decent price, but none of the smaller local shops had enough ordered to even get the 1:25, and the larger stores price gouge because of the eBay pre-sales. A majority of the JSC covers from the last two years have decreased in value compared to their pre-sale and week-of-release sale price. He does a lot more cover than he used to.
  4. 100% cover driven Actually, someone on google+ ordered one for $50.00, and when it arrived he almost tore the cover off taking out the book, and shared his self destroyed copy, creating a run up on the book that is slightly genuine, only because 1 copy is now........un-9.8'able. No, that's not what happened at all.

  6. Looks like most of those don't come to the market very often and one seller was unloading. Speaking of not coming to the market often: Duck Tales #1 SDCC
  7. I think its set to run about 50 issues. Its almost half way. I doubt any tv network or streaming service could give this story what it deserves in live action form. Big budget film is the only way to go but i dont want to see it get ruined so i will enjoy my books. Animated would work but the colors and art are so great in the book it feels like animation to me already (plus i dont want a voice actor to ruin what death, baloon and the "beast" sound like to me in my head ) Agreed, they could possibly do an animated version that could catch on, like Clone Wars, but it's probably to adult for that.
  8. I've grabbing copies whenever I can find them, but never ever paying that much. Maybe he or she knows something we don't know. Really not even the right book to speculate on ? #53 would be the KEY. Why not pick up both? I been plucking both of these books in bargain bins for years whenever I see them. I have a strong feeling this will end up the same as Man of Steel 17/18 where X-Man #15 may get a stronger price boost simply because the print run is far lower than X-Men #53. Booth are good. but x-man #15 is just a shadow cameo. Sure, but his name is right in the cover. So it's not an instance of shadow (unnamed) vs. named first appearance.

According to CGC, but the X-Man issue came out a month earlier and is listed on his wikia. ...and bedroom in your parents basement.
  10. He was pretty funny in that movie. He stole the show from Lebron, IMO.
  11. PC or mobile and which platform? Just search CraigsList Alert. I have used a couple and some work better than others.
  12. He was The Tick, too. oh yeah, forgot about that. him as CM/Shazam I guess is not a novel idea: https://www.google.com/search?q=the+tick+movie&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&channel=sb&tbm=isch&imgil=tZgfWYdSXXxx7M%253A%253ByT0jLLiOb0I83M%253Bhttps%25253A%25252F%25252Fen.wikipedia.org%25252Fwiki%25252FThe_Tick_%282001_TV_series%29&source=iu&pf=m&fir=tZgfWYdSXXxx7M%253A%252CyT0jLLiOb0I83M%252C_&biw=1280&bih=826&usg=__paHGYmR6WRSj-db63zG3x1SnC_s%3D&ved=0ahUKEwjH58zAs5bKAhVMfxoKHeFkB1sQyjcIOg&ei=oKuNVseXJMz-aeHJndgF#imgrc=pFN7F3c9QcnosM%3A&usg=__paHGYmR6WRSj-db63zG3x1SnC_s%3D How about Joe Manganiello? He's got the size plus he's married to Sofia Vergara. No other actor can say that. If you've seen Trainwreck it's obvious... John Cena
  13. Not worthy of heating up and I have to post a crappy BC article that was posted by my LCS. http://www.bleedingcool.com/2016/01/06/be-kind-to-your-comic-book-retailer-as-amazing-spider-man-darth-vader-and-spider-gwen-are-allocated/
  14. I've seen it at a 1:20 and a 1:25. Midtown has them at $34 on their website, much cheaper on ebay. 1:20 They were selling for $25-30 the first week and the fact that Midtown still has them in stock tells me something.
  15. Especially as the verification tool on the main site shows the book was graded on the 22nd. Lightning! Must have been on-site, correct? Time is of the essence when you're dealing with manufactured collectibles. Hmm, thought all comics were "manufactured". Learn something new everyday!

  17. WOW, there's a book I was totally wrong about. It's a 1:25. It sold well out of the gate, but I was telling people it was a bad buy at $40. That's a true testament of buying and waiting a year can really pay off. Most people get impatient though, or just don't want that potential cash sitting around.
  18. Sorry, but I'm too busy to take on any extra work right now.
  19. The auction was Buy it now with a best offer option Thanks. Yes, as others have said though, I personally think an auction, during the right month, would move them faster. I don't think you would find someone looking for all of them at once. You never know, someone might bite. I don't blame the guy for throwing a huge number out.
  20. So you're guessing at about $7,000+ for all three. I would say $2k or 20% high is a pretty big jump. I don't think he's at $7k; he said a 9.6 510 sold for $2900 -- the one in the listing is a 9.8 so it would definitely go for more. $3k (Wolv #1) + $1k (Siege #3) + > $3k (510 sketch) Bingo. If 2 9.6's sold not long ago for around 3k. I made the assumption that a 9.8 would probably fetch more than 3k that the 9.6 did. which is why his 9k asking was reasonable considering recent past sales of the books. If I'm buying three books for a big sum, I would expect a discount, not an increase. Maybe that's just me though.
