Here's a real gem, said he bid "by accident": siro7

1st print #2's in high grade aren't that expensive. There's a 9.4 on Ebay right now in the $300 range. That's a great undervalued book...1st April O'neil, 1st Mousers, etc

 

It's not difficult to put out a quality product. Marvel is proof of that.

They've elevated their characters movies to less than horrible, but they still ain't exactly great. They are decent family/kiddy movies at best

As selfish as this sounds -

 

I personally like the new Spidey franchise, but I do not disagree that it shouldn't exist in its current state. I would LOVE for Sony to screw it up at this point.

 

Why?

 

Because it makes it that much more likely that Sony will let the rights expire and revert back to Marvel.

 

There will be peace in the middle east and a fictional event know as Revelations will also happen before Sony ever gives up Spider-man back to Marvel.

One thing I think will come from all this if ASM 2 doesn`t get the desired box office results is there will be a change in Spider-Man`s costume.

I know a sacrilege thought.

Spider-Man`s costume just like Superman`s and Batman`s doesn't work in live action movies that well. They look great in the comic books and animation series, but for some reason they don`t seem to fit in after seeing Iron Man fly around in armor.

I think they definitely will change Spider-Man`s costume for the next movie somewhat.

Here was a rejected costume that Marc Webb wanted compared to the one they used for ASM 2. I like it myself. It seems more realistic for live action movies.

Any thoughts about they will change Spider-Man`s costume for ASM 3 somewhat?

I like that they went with a more spandexy look this time. The modern body armour thing is really stiff and overused, and will look really dated in the years to come. You can never go wrong by going classic and iconic.

Why do they feel they always need to start over from the beginning with these movies for each "re-launch"? What's wrong with making a movie with a good superman/spiderman/etc story without retelling the same story and origin from the ground up each time? Everyone knows spider-man's origin, superman's, batman's origin for christsakes. We don't need the origin re-told each time just because it's a different actor

Too bad about the personalization on the autograph. Hopefully it's in pencil

You guys didn't think it was dumb when he jumped out of the plane without a parachute?

Why are there so many comparisons being made between the walking dead and spawn?

Spawn is a zombie

At this point, the interesting part of the whole walking dead phenomenon isnt the book itself going for thousands and is now on its way down, it's how many people chased every single image #1 issue after walking dead hit it big, and have been burned 100% of the time. Just crazy.

That's the same story for anyone that's bought a modern "hot" book after it became hot. People just never ever learn.

I don't think it's movie hype that we're seeing in relation to recent interest in TMNT 1. I think what we're seeing is the beginnings of that magic combination, i.e., the kids that grew up with TMNT in the 90's just starting to hit the age where nostalgia meets incomes/earnings that can afford and will drive prices up on high $$ books. I think we're just now seeing the tip of the iceburg for TMNT 1 value.

....pretty sure this just proves (again) that TMNT 1 currently (and temporarily) is in a speculative bubble being artificially bloated by movie hype.

You've posted so many times in this topic, people might begin to think you know what you're talking about.

 

Let's pretend you do...

 

So please show me where I can find this bloated bubble.

This graph shows a small post 2008 dip. Everything dipped in '08. This isn't that big a dip either comparitive to everything else. This indicates it is holding it's value very well.

Even though the TMNT #1 first print run is low, a lot of people are going to be content with the second of third print since they look 99% identical and are all released within just a few months of each other.

the big diff there is the subsequent printings AREN'T the 1st app of the turtles. Huge difference
