If the Rock is announced to play Black Atom Adam, and not Lobo like a lot of ppl are thinking, I think the book will explode. Already selling at a decent price on pure speculation alone. #25 is a nice Shazam key as well to keep an eye out for.

Sold a mid grade for $50 recently. Not particularly easy to find for some reason. Sold a lower grade for $33. Surprisingly I have found all mine in the bargain bins.

There have been a lot optioned just this year. They don't make it to TV in a couple weeks. After the option you play the waiting game. Sometime so long you forget it was ever optioned....

This is amazing

This one shows some promise. It was already in development in Oct. last year, now there is a writer attached. http://tbivision.com/news/2013/10/comic-books-firm-idw-moves-into-tv-with-v-wars/166022/

I don't think it did. http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=6248998

/\/\/\/\ Is it a 1st or 2nd print?

So, comic books are good?

Link? http://comicbook.com/blog/2014/04/28/could-shazam-movie-be-dwayne-the-rock-johnsons-secret-dc-project/ Nothing confirms that it was axed there, just speculation. http://badassdigest.com/2014/03/25/the-rock-pretty-much-admits-hes-going-to-play-lobo/

I don't see what's "logic", but if you say so. Yes, the make a second print because of demand and it is typically not as sought after as a 1st until many years later, as we have seen lately. What's the second print of a ipad? This discussion has elevated to this level because of the comparison of a comic book to an ipad.

Good point, also, the OP never said the dealer raised the price. He just said he put it on his wall. I think that I assumed and interjected that by putting it on the wall the price was raised.

Link?

Yes, it's the internet! If you were made of spare ribs would you eat yourself?

You're both comparing the intial market offering to the secondary market, which is a whole different ball game. By this logic Walking Dead #1 should be sold at cover price. As Lazyboy pointed out, there is nothing "limited" about an electronic that can be duplicated over and over as the same. With collectibles the initial offering is made once offered to the public and that's it. To be fair, Spreads did state that this model only applies to collectibles. But....how do you think all of those Tickle me Elmo's and Playstation's end up on Craigslist for inflated prices every Christmas? Secondary Market, the initial market supply did not meet the demand. With the comparison to an Apple product, can you image if they only made 1,000,000 iphones? That's it, done. They would be well over $1k each on the secondary market. This only applies to collectibles thought, right? Well, not exactly. Think about when a professional service is offered, say an attorney. When they start out, learning the profession, they charge a nominal fee. In 20 years once they have the experience are they still charging the same fee? I really hope not. That concludes Microeconomics 101 for the day. Test next Thursday.

Normal facet of business. No it's not. It's a normal fact of collectibles, but not business. Quiet pops, ygogolak and I are talking business. "So how many copies of biclops should I put you down for, 500, 600?" , so back to the previous post, when something is in demand you keep charging the same price? Leaving money in the table.

Normal facet of business.

Wrong Flash. That's not Barry Allen. Shhh....let's keep that a secret

ToT is pretty boring IMO. Reads as the screenplay to Italian Job more or less. If it didn't have the show hype it would have never gained in value, again, IMO.

I pretty much never ask a dealer if they have a book. Opens the door for them to jack the price up. I probably miss out on some stuff, but there are tons of other boxes to go through to find other goodies.

BA 12 sells for $81 w/ a detached cover http://www.ebay.com/itm/Batman-Adventures-12-1st-Harley-Quinn-PR-/191170826904?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT&_trksid=p2047675.l2557&nma=true&si=MBfbL%252BuwltRXpenKbNi%252FNIHeIGw%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

Quick, first comic with a rap battle, it's going to be the next hot book.

I like that it's returnable, get them off the shelves.

Probably not too big, 1 maybe 2,000

Probably a comic convention...no, a TV/movie/sci-if convention...shoot, thought I knew

For people that know how to do it I don't think it would be that hard at all.
