Huh?
1 bid, smells fishy
Especially when this is sitting out there, still higher than I thought:

This book has been demanding money for a while, but not this much.
New Mutants Annual #2 RAW $131.50
-
The dumb money seems a whole lot dumber this time than in the mid-'90s, but I guess that's just because we have the Internet to quantify the stupidity.
Or the reverse, you're quantifying 100's of thousands vs 50 thousand, only numbers though, right?

/\/\ blah, too much logic for these boards
-
There is a cut off point. Even during it's popular days, Danger Mouse was pretty crappy and didn't have a large following and just doesn't have what it takes to get the speculating sheep too excited.
This is like speculating on Black Belt Hamsters #1 or some similar junk.
I sold my set of 4 no problem, picked them up for $0.25 each. Was that a cartoon?

Do I think it will be Ratchett & Clank?
Yuuuuup.

my apologies, the 25TH APPEARANCE of Rocket Racoon??? Does it really matter??
Yes I think it matters. Prior to Conquest Marvel hardly used Rocket. His appearances are becoming increasingly difficulty to find and are in some odd places like She-Hulk and Quasar. Early Deadpool appearances hold value, why should Rocket be any different? Look if Disney can make a buck off Figment who knows how high the ceiling is for Rocket.
It's not popular b/c of any one character. It's the 1st series of the team that will be in the new movie. The other appearances, besides Annihilation Conquest 6, feature a different cast of characters.

This seems unlikely to me.
Count Duckula 3 is the 1st American comic book appearance of a cartoon character that appears in two dozen much earlier comics in the UK, and then never appears in comic books in either country again. Is someone really going to watch a 2015 BBC cartoon based on a 1981 BBC cartoon and think "Boy, I wish I had the 1991 american comic book with a backup story about this!"?
Who knows, I really don't care what their reasoning is. People are gaga over anything being optioned these days.

I don't think you'll find a variant for $75 now....
Selling on the boards is definitely not a sign of what a comic is worth. Boardies often times expect a heavy discount to close the deal.
Well, we know better.
-
Some recent developments should push Count Duckula 3 into the undervalued category.
Good call!

Interesting thought.
It depends how much a seller wants to sell something. He could hoard them for a long time at a high price and just have a ton of stock, value could drop though. Large retailers need to move stock to keep cash flowing, smaller guys 10 or 20 books don't really do much.
-
I'm starting to think that a lot of the McFarlane Spideys are currently in the category of undervalued. I've been seeing them in bargain boxes more and more. I pulled a few out of a 3/$1 box at a little convention yesterday (a 307, 313, and a couple of the later ones).
The dealer I bought them from runs a LCS around here. I asked him about it, and he said that he had so much of that stuff that he just needed to get rid of some of it.
These were books I felt were wildly overvalued when they originally got hot, but now I'm finding a fair number of them in $1-$2 boxes around here. I'm generally not one to buy books purely for resale (my wife and I call it buying a chore), but at 3/$1 I couldn't help myself.
I buy these when I see them cheap. They will always sell.

Wow, great book

Guess ill throw my perfect copies up for grab and list them at 1,000,000
Perfect? Must be 10.0's!

So wait...miswrapps demand a premium? Since when??
Maybe I'm not following the definition of miswrap, someone care to explain?
Im under the impression that a miswrap means part of the back cover is not fully centered and made its way to the front cover, am i right?
Other way around.
Either way is a mis-wrap, doesn't matter which is where. 
Oh wait, kinda confusing, I see what you meant.
"Perfectly wrapped books demand a premium." 
Yes, perfection is everything (to some).

Somebody is selling a bunch at $17 a pop.
I watched some of comic Haul videos. Nice books. (thumbs u
Thanks!

There are several more raw auctions that ended with best offers that might have exceeded the $50 (how do I look at the best offer price?), but outside of the 1 above, the rest of the issues went for under $50. There are many more copies that ended besides the ones I listed too. A CGC 9.4 copies was sold for $76. The average price for Star Wars 42 in NM raw since March seems to be about $35.
Sounds like you contradicted your own argument. There are plenty that sell under $50, but here are over $50, lots are slabbed or in lots:
darkstar's method for checking accepted price works or this website you can put in the listing id: www.watchcount.com

With that said, no reason why it can't be, and continue to be, a $50-$125 raw book with higher upside in 9.8land if NTT # 2 is now a $100-$150 raw book and lord knows what Hulk 271 is now and that was a 50 cent box book 2 years ago.
I haven't seen Star Wars #42 sell for $50 let alone $125 in NM raw. There are copies right now in eBay which are going to go for less than that.
Or maybe you are talking about another book? Which eBay are you using?

Apocalypse: The Twelve/Ages of Apocalypse
A late 1999/early 2000 series, when print runs were as low as they ever got, I don't know why these books don't have more love. They include some extremely difficult variants, and the books themselves are quite tough, and ALWAYS missing from dealer boxes.
Uncanny X-Men #375-378
Wolverine #145-148
X-Men #95-98
Astonishing X-Men #1-3
Cable #75-77
These are starting to see some action.

hmm... saw these Harley Quinn & Batwoman Steampunk covers for $10 each if anyone is looking to buy.
Seems that fad is over.
That's completely different from them being destroyed!
Right, I was thinking that after I posted. They might just be holding onto them for now.

Anybody here know why Valiant recalled the mask variant of Rai #2? A quick internet search doesn't really tell me anything.
The lines around the mask that are the cut lines went over the ears, not around them. Really silly and costly reason to recall, IMO.
There was no recall. They just asked retailers to destroy the bad issues. And most of these issue will not get destroyed.
I have heard some people say their retailer would not sell it to them.
Either way is a mis-wrap, doesn't matter which is where.

Yes and no, they can make a claim that the person didn't pay and get refunded.
