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?

These are starting to see some action.

Seems that fad is over. Right, I was thinking that after I posted. They might just be holding onto them for now.

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.

Top properties for the year based on total dollar sales (in alphabetical order) included Barbie, Disney Princess, Monster High, Nerf, and Star Wars. https://www.npd.com/wps/portal/npd/us/news/press-releases/the-npd-group-report-on-u-s-toy-industry-retail-sales-for-2013/

No Zack. No. You mentioned this earlier and I bought all the copies on ebay and I bought a copy today at a store. Have you read Superman Adventures #20? I have. Volcana is not in it. SO NO ZACK. NO. http://comicbookscalping.com I read the issue and have it in front of me. Shes not there. What page?

Comparing anything to Star Wars

Probably depends how well the movie does these days. That has the ability to really move the needle now.

Impressive collection!

Star Wars 42 has the potential (pretty much assured) to have a solo movie featuring the character, X-Factor does not.

Nice looking copy . . . too expensive for anyone here to buy. It looks like the same seller sold one yesterday for $157 too. Actually, looks like the same picture. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Swamp-Thing-37-Alan-Moore-1st-John-Constantine-High-Grade-Near-Mint-UNREAD-copy-/171354139042?pt=US_Comic_Books&hash=item27e580a9a2&nma=true&si=Cqgx08tAqk4vfXixDaM%252BZCNJgOE%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

It might already be too late: http://insidemovies.ew.com/2014/06/11/star-wars-spinoff-filmed-in-uk/ I found a NM for under $10 a few months back. Still plenty out there.

There is one that is an actual photo with the red lettering. I think the others may be rips from the pre-order image of it, not what was actually printed. Can anybody confirm?

Oh no, I agree with Joe C! It was the embossed / foil / holo phase. I have a Deathlok and Dr. Strange from that era as well that would serve better as fuel for a fire.

So what are you going to do with that 191 smackers!? Wish that was mine. This book hasn't been at what I would consider a reasonable price for a while. They can still be found for $5, so I don't see why you wouldn't. Why? So don't buy Swamp #25 or Star #42? OK, more copies for me.

Wowzers, Swampy 37 NM Raw @$191.50 with 2 hours left! http://www.ebay.com/itm/171353066331?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Didn't Volcana first appear in Secret Wars? Marvel and DC both have a Volcana. Please tell me what page she appears on. Looks like one book.

McFarlane and Jim Lee's 1st Marvel aren't.

No anger here. In fact, no emotion at all. Just discussing underlying causes for the rise of the book. Do you ever watch CNBC? When someone argues a bear case for a stock, or is skeptical about a sudden parabolic rise in that stock's price, do you think that analyst is mad about the price rise, or is upset he/she missed the boat on that stock? It is possible to discuss these things without ulterior motive or emotion. That they missed the boat. They obviously didn't recognize it in the first place so how much "stock" do you put in their opinion anyway?

Don't ruin it, Im really enjoying watching all the suckers buy Scalped 43 at hilarious prices Anyone that's read Scalped knows how funny all of this is. Let the fools throw their money away. Funny or annoying? I've watched Star Wars 68, which doesn't feature Boba Fett but another character entirely, get priced higher and higher as a Boba Fett cover and story. I think Boba Fett is in one or two panels in the book (in a flashback) and he isn't the character on the cover. (Hint: if you watched the Clone Wars TV series, you would understand there is an entire planet of people who wear armor that looks like Boba Fett's armor.) Another is the first appearance of Rocket Raccoon. Half the collectors out there think it is Incredible Hulk 271. Once these books go up, they hardly ever come down. Why would it be annoying? Consider yourself smarter, move on. If you are letting yourself get caught up in it you are no better.

The 1st app was before they knew about Marvel Premiere.

It the buyer did not mistake what he was buying.....that's crazy! Glad I have #1-110, I would hate spending big money on reprints. You need not worry. You own everything. This book guides for about 4 bucks in the current Overstreet. I could see it going for double to triple Guide in VF because of movie mayhem...but over 20 times Guide? What movie mayhem? Also, "guide" is outdated the minute it's published. I love shops that go by Overstreet. Even negative publicity is publicity, re: the movie exposure. I used the guide as a guide, as a baseline. I didn't make grand claims for it...but at the same time, I think it can't be so easily thrown under the bus, as many in the Internet age would have it. As for the love you have for shops going by Overstreet, is it a selective love? What about when it's, say, full Guide for 3rd tier title, mid-grade Bronze? You love that, right? Yes, the do say there is no bad publicity, but a bad movie doesn't not draw people to buy those comics. If I know a shop uses Overstreet, I know there are plenty of books to hunt that have increased recently in value.

Who cares about any of the characters as long as it makes you some money? Really? This message board is going down the toilet if this is the new mantra of members. Things to do... Try and stay out of comics general, AND the copper area. I think you are in the wrong thread.
