2nd prints were issued before the 1st's, yes. And one printing had a sticker on the UPC. There is probably a thread on here about when it happened. Edit: Some received second prints rather than first prints, due to a perfect storm of delays for the first print and the second print coming early. https://bleedingcool.com/comics/love-ls-love-speculator-smash-selling-copies-40-ebay/ Thread:

Not that I've ever heard. Are you just thinking of Gaiman in general which would be his Books of Magic series that has been discussed?

Thanks, my usual sources didn't have a 2nd print for 14 listed. Also, when I searched eBay I wasn't getting an sold results. Today I am. But from the link above we can see why it's selling.

Where does it say that? Mystic 15 ( Sept , 2001 ) First comic appearance of Harry Potter? So this one has blown up and caused a lot of controversy. Is this Harry? Is it Tim Hunter? Is is Tim Potter? It is hard to say but it helps that Rowling would go after those who used Harry’s image and she sent a cease and desist to Crossgen. The glasses and scarf look like Harry but the wand could be connected to Tim Hunter.

There's only one Modern Champions series and it doesn't have a 2nd print or any significance for that matter.

He's been doing the Vader's Castle covers. They are just OK.

Hmm, Star Wars Groot

Deadpool confirmed for MCU by Fiege.

Modern Star Wars books have gone nuclear due to the speculation on new Disney+ shows with new characters never before on screen. Star Wars #1 has gone from $2k beginning of Sept. 2020 to $2,800 Jan. 2021. Very nice increase. No where near the increase for the books I just mentioned.

Who is allowed to purchase the item outright? Not a user / general public. Who is allowed to sell the item? Not a user / general public.

Somehow you're missing part of this equation. And I feel it's intentional. Have you ever heard of the term Insider Trading?

Amazing I could be deceived by one photo.

Because the other book that a dealer might have a book is not backed by random investors on the the internet who are thinking this is an honest business venture.

Spine roll. "Never read. Still in original packaging."

OK, but by Rallys terms their board (insvestors & advisors) can buy the book, correct? Scenario if they have an item that doesn't come up for sale often, say Star Wars #1 35 cent, and I own a well known auction house. I have buyers coming to me and asking for hard to find items. They offer to buy at $50k. I know I can buy that book from Rally for $25k b/c I'm on the inside track. I buy, appease investors and then sell to the person for $50k. The new realized market value is $50k, but there was an insider trading if you will and the "nvestors" lost $25k.

Yes, I was thinking that as well. The difference is in the case that is not a valid comparison. There can be multiple of the same comic and grade that sell all the time. Their prices are relative to the ones bought / sold around them. There are no two companies that are the exact same or hold the same potential. Rally themselves state it is similar to / like the stock market. When, in this case, we can see it is not.

She highly rumored to be a main character in the Rangers show on Disney+.

Sending in that condition?

Not because of the Darksaber. It's the only Bo-Katan in comic form.

So the problem I see here is people are looking at their individual share, which was $1 timex X and saying "I need to at least make $0.50 per share". Fine, but when you add all that up it has nothing to do with the actual real time, market value of the collectible.

Is / was their some kind of trademark that made them throw "real" in the title?

Where did you get this from? The only set I'm seeing mentioned Mandalore has to do with a Clone Wars scene between Darth Maul and Ahsoka. 75310 - Mandalore Throne & Vault Price: $20 Minifigures: Maul, Ahsoka Tano Following in the footsteps of the Duels on Starkiller Base and Mustafar, respectively, the Duel on Mandalore will finally be coming to LEGO. A now iconic battle between Maul and Ahsoka Tano during the Siege of Mandalore in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, this set was highly desired among the LEGO Star Wars fandom. A new minifigure depicting Maul's mechanical legs will be among the set's offerings, and following his defeat he can be placed within the LEGO-ized Vault that the antagonist was stored in for his return to the Republic.

It seems you are saying nobody wants a 9.6 and everyone can afford a 9.8. Which is not the case by any means.

Not really the same at all.

Welcome to 2020.
