  1. Was it really getting that kind of money then? I feel like I looked it up last year and saw $15-$20 sales and decided to age it a bit longer. I cannot remember whether I got it at NYCC 2013 or 2014, but it was out of a $3 box from a bigger dealer.

     

    I have more of them somewhere. Need to dig them up.

    It certainly wasn't overlooked then. Can't say for certain if it was getting $50, probably not.

  2. Hope that Moon Knight mania extends to his first solo series, I have a couple HG #1's that I was having trouble selling for $5 a couple months ago :P I think I have 5 or 6 left

    Starting to. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_sop=1&LH_Complete=1&LH_Sold=1&_ipg=50&_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=moon+knight+1+1980+nm

     

    Was there an announcement?

     

    Not sure what's the hype behind moon knight? Any suggested readings from MK fans (I have Marvel Unlimited)? I'm curious to learn more about this character.

     

    Moon Knight has a following for sure. It's price is rising like most other characters these days. Have you looked at what Marvel Spotlight #28 is doing? I really liked the first arc of the new Moon Knight series. If you are not familiar with the character, like myself, it seems a little disjointed because there is lots of historical parts written in, but I still was able to figure it out and liked it.

  3. i get a person can price their books at whatever they want... but its kind annoying when someone goes 15-20 under what market is currently just to move them fast... kills all of the heat on the book... buyers see that the book has dropped in value in a week so why not wait to see if someone sells them another 5-10 less in a couple days... the Boba colors held their 60+ value for a long while because no one sold them for less than that... not even JTC at cons... and now the b/w market is dead... just wish sellers had more common sense... guess i will be slabbing mine now...

     

    ...it's annoying when someone wants to sell something and they give a better price to the buyers? Trying to wrap my brain around that concept, but just keep coming back to the idea of greedy sellers whining about not making more money on something they paid $20 each for with intentions of a quick flip :)

     

    I had JTC personalize mine.....wont be selling it obviously.

  4. I cringe when I open a package to see bubble wrap. For some reason people are under the impression that makes it indestructible in shipping. Save yourself some money and buy me another piece of cardboard.

     

    Bubble Wrap is essential, provided you put sturdy cardboard AROUND the comics 1st. Sorry to see this. It seems to be a common malady of the JTC school of shipping.

     

    Never used it in an envelope and have never had a problem. Two pieces of sturdy cardboard with an inch border on all sides of the comic is all that matters. I only use it for boxes along with peanuts.

     

    Bubble Wrap-O-Phobe!!!

    OK, this might be an outlier, no grade was listed, although the copy itself looks pretty nice, a little bit of corner wear, not a likely 9.4 - 9.8 slab candidate, but a nice copy. Book is doing well overall though for something I used to see in plenty of dollar boxes.

     

    Not surprised at that at all. I didn't have trouble moving Fine copies for $20.

  7. How about a VG copy of Night Nurse #1 @ $51 & 51 watchers? Although I read somewhere that it was TV show related. Curious as to what a 9.4 would fetch in today's climate. hm

    Depends which Night Nurse you are talking about. There are rumors of Linda Carter being in the Dr. Strange movie, but Claire Temple was already in season 1 of Daredevil and was unofficially "night nurse".

     

    is the dr. strange movie going to be based on "the oath"? would be a weird way to introduce the character in the movies, although, frankly, it is going to be a tough sell anyway unless whoever is playing dr. strange is a known acting commodity....cumberbatch might be there, he is known, but hasn't had fans for years back.

     

    Thought it was based on Shamballa? Either way, there haven't really been any strong correlations between a comic story and a Marvel movie.

  8. Not exactly, more long the lines of print run ballpark, if anyone had any interest in the original AF cover like myself, in addition to questioning if it was indeed the original AF cover. No biggie.

    Yes, there is interest, but not a huge demand. My guess is that it's due to people not knowing about it and those that do not caring. You have to remember that are a majority of readers / buyers that only care about the big two, especially today when people are seeing these "for the first time" and thinking that Marvel came up with the idea. The series itself is sought after, but only by a small group. I don't really see them in the wild, only online.

  9. Quick question for you guys...

    If I'm not mistaken Scud #9 is the first action figure cover. Maybe I'm wrong.

    I was looking to see how many were on the census and saw none graded. I just thought it would be a really cool slab to own as the original AF cover and found it shocking none were graded. Is it due to no interest, low print run, hard to find in HG, or a combinations? Granted I've never sought out a HG copy. Just curious.

     

    I'm sadly bumping my own question. Maybe I'm the only fan of Scud or I grossly got over shadowed by pimping. Yeah, now it's sad every way I look at it. :boo:

     

    There's no way to answer your question. You're asking why nobody has submitted a book for grading?

  10. It's been awhile since I read it but it does deal with the ramifications of TKJ. Joker is held in a cell with Barbara asking questions on a bomb. She's in the shadows. At the end Joker realises she is the one he shot in TKJ.

    Power Girl and the Birds track down the most dangerous maniac in the world--the Joker! Canary and P.G. have captured their target, but there's just one problem: He's got New York City targeted for thermonuclear destruction and Oracle must face her greatest fear in order to stop him!

  11. Suicide Squad #48 had died down for a little, but it's back and poppin' now with the Mark Hamil news as well as The Killing Joke.

    Crazy, the Joker only appears in 5 panels (?) from a Killing Joke flashback & the art is horrendous. I think the cover's pretty nice though... (shrug)

     

    The first issue in that series has been doing well for awhile. Slabbed 9.6's have a GPA average of $156 the past 12 months. 9.4's have been averaging $117. Raw copies have been getting good results too.

     

    That must mean my Birds Of Prey #16 is worth hundreds. YES!!!!!!! :o

     

    Doesn't have to do with Killing Joke, does it?

  12. Back to Modern comics, anyone think its worth Slabbing some Cyborg #1's I love the character myself and picked up quiet a few copies. Prob little value now but since it is his first solo book what are your thoughts??

     

    But it's not his first solo book. First solo title, yes, but I agree, worth setting aside his first solo book, which is not Cyborg #1.

     

     

    that's when you gotta swoop in and grab those slabs.

     

    "You don't want to carry those heavy slabs back to your van, drive those heavy slabs back to your home/storage, unload those heavy slabs, then reload those heavy slabs for the next show, drive those heavy slabs to the next show, then unload those heavy slabs again at the next show, just for a CHANCE to sell them. All the while MORE PEOPLE are slabbing that exact same comic, driving down the value. I've got CASH (which is worth more but weights very little) IN HAND FOR YOU RIGHT NOW." Especially if they don't have a TON of slabs, then they have to take extra care while transporting them, and they're little less sure of the prices.

     

    $75 each? how about 2 for $100? $105? 4 for $200? Get the cash out and start handing it towards them.

     

    There are a lot of people that don't spend $200 at an entire convention, let alone one dealer.
