Does that mean CGC 9.8 Amazing Spider-man #300 should sell for $350-$400? I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure supply AND demand decide the price of something on the open market. If someone will sell me one for $700, let me know I'll buy it. Right... is it safe to say the demand for Star Wars is greater than the demand for Venom? CGC 9.8 ASM #300 (Venom) sells for $1,000... so why would CGC 9.8 Star Wars #1 sell for $700-$800 instead of $2,000? $2,000 actually seems too low based on the supply, if Star Wars is indeed more important than Venom. Possibly due to one being a new character for a comic book series rather than a series to help promote a movie. Or whatever the case was with the SW book and it being about a movie. As well if you collect SW you have millions of options of things to collect. If you want the best of the best for Venom you are lead to ASM 300, no?

My mistake. Very nice copies Bill. Now about that Bone #1

Ah good point. Thought I saw a Bill post a pic of one. May be wrong.

Why on earth would he make a negative comment!?!?!? Regardless of if he likes it or not he should have kept that comment to himself. Not a wise move knowing the bulk of his SG fan base is female and that may have offended the designer in his brash remark.

Not too sure the census is accurate. I am pretty sure Bill has one as well as part of his registry so Dmacs may not have been listed yet?

How many people are about to list copies in the next 24 hours due to this thread?

I had one on eBay for a bit at $2000 or best offer for 30 days. This comic is very prone to manipulation. I only received a few offers, the high being $1200 or so although ones in auctions were as high as my buy it now option. Giving proof they were very manipulated. I have 100% feedback so it is not like mine was avoided for low feedback or negative feedback. I wound up selling them through direct sales locally for $1700 each. The feedback here has been very wise. Trickle them out. It would have been wiser to trickle them onto the census but that's after the fact and I'm sure others have stock as you do. So it will rise greatly indeed but I suspect the sooner they are sold the better at this point.

Goodness! I am very happy for you to have such intuition. As equally happy I listened to my advisor Jay and parted with my 9.8's before a flood of stock came.

Umm what Star Wars #1? HUGE difference. Or did I miss that from the OP?

I edited my post minutes after posting. It was a joke. A wishful thinking for the crew post that something so massive would happen.

Delay is not due to Diamond, it stemmed from working out some challenges with a special order that did not happen. We held the print run for as long as we could in an attempt to satisfy all exclusive requests and did our best. Loot Crates loss!

Just saw this over in Buzzettas thread. Pretty awesome. http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=8726059#Post8726059

Recap! Gunnz appears to be pimping himself out. Possibly open to PM's. Zack wants to see a Fallout comic book series from the video game. I agree, would be cool. Jimmy is claiming he rocks Crocs, Yet I have him running through the 6 in Berkenstocks. Summer sales are among us. 8,000 titles have been optioned. I now know what all the Five Below stores I see sell and don't want anything they sell. I want Tex-Mex.

Tim It's cool to leak here, we have a club thing going.

No hate at all Awe, I almost always respect your posts and get a laugh out of the gifs. Again, if she's around in 20 years that would be cool. I don't know if that's a reality with his Marvel often decides to shoot themselves in the foot. My only gripe was the WD and TMNT comparison. Apples and oranges in my eyes. I actually root for a SG movie. I have my doubts but I don't know how Marvel will play her into the mainstream because she is not their yet.

Are you doing Kool-Aid keg stands? It will not remain a top selling book. Sure it will have a massive #1 on the reboot. Take away all the #1 only buyers or flippers and I'd say about half the print run and downward moving forward from #2 on. People like her outfit, yippee. People liked bell bottoms as well. Another shiney object in the form of a female character is bound to take her place and be fresher for the time. That fact that even you admit that they love her for pretty much everything except the comic and history of her speaks volumes. How can one sustain massive (TMNT comparison) success if the main source of the creation is already secondary? I am well aware of the large jump in female readers. I don't need a edited TV show to show me that, they have always been around. It's just grown. I'm also aware of the female empowerment movement. I applaud any positive movement such as that. If Gwen does this then bravo. Even if she is around in 20 years I'd applaud. But you are comparing her to the freaking TWD and TMNT!

I realize you just said that to generate conversation in a thread going stale, but Its not hating it being patient. To compare Spider-Gwen to TMNT is far fetched in my mind. For that to have taken off there was movies (first one was much better then the rest) and a popular animation tv show coupled with action figures, tie ins to pizza, not to mention a very low printed indie comic book on those early issues. For every TMNT you have numerous Lobo's, Savage Dragon's that don't remain hot. +1 TMNT and Gwen don't even have 1% of business being compared to one another. TMNT is a global success. Mainly due to it being targeted towards children, originality, and quality. Something that often in this industry is THE key to longevity. I'm not too sure how many children actually read SG books and have the same love for a redo that may be provided with originality and a character/book made for children to grasp onto and grow with as many of us did with TMNT. The only people I have witnessed buying SG books off the shelves are flippers and late teen/20's females. Not too sure that's the same recipe for success for the long haul for her. I don't doubt she'll have her time but I feel the majority have already had their fill of her. Im laughing reading this because you got it all mixed up. Back when TMNT came out, it wasnt a children's comic. No. it was very grimy, B&W indie book which wasnt marketed at all as an Archie/Cartoon network type book. If you know Eastman & Laird, you already know that these two got their influences from Corben/heavy Metal to name but a few adult publishers/artists. But clever marketing and merchandising elevated them to a much broader and younger audience. Thats REALLY the main difference between SG and TMNT. But otherwise, both books rose to fame quite quickly, within months of audience reception. Both properties were attributed to a strong main current stream, TMNT with the Anthropomorphic boom of the 80s and SG with today's female reader's boom, both are/were top sellers at their peak, cosplays, etc etc etc And yes, both comics are consumed primarily by younger readers. Period. If you dont know this by now, you need to go out to cons more often. The only reason why people dismiss SG so quickly is because shes new. Thats really it. Saying SG has no promise is foolish at best. But it will get you points for originality If TMNT happened today, youd have the same reaction as you would to SG. Simple. You honestly believe the readers of SG books today will be reading them in 20 years? On what, the 20th reboot? Will they be eager for a reboot of a SG movie? Wearing a SG t-shirt? Getting a SG tattoo? That's the reality of TMNT. I attend several cons a year, yes I see the few SG cosplays. Point being what? That a few out of the bunch like her outfit and don't even read the comic? Yeah, I see that too. I definitely don't see attendees hunting for copies of SG books, because they are a dime a dozen. they want one, they buy one. No real buy in IMO that comes with the want and hunt. SG is new? I'll give you trendy but definitely not new. It's been done a few times so she'll always have a * next to her name in many people's eyes. I won't say she doesn't have promise, who knows how long Marvel will pimp her out and force her down everyone's throats hoping it sticks for the long haul. I was buying early issue TMNT books (#1 and on) off the shelves in the 80's as a child as many of my friends because it was pitched as a kids comic to us. It was definitely on many collectors radar in the B/W craze but I can't speak to the fact if they were actually reading and enjoying them as kids were. When something is hard to get many people want it more. It's human nature in our society. The rarity of TMNT added to the buzz of the comic itself. Just like Apple being sold out on the new iPhone on the day of its release, or the next gaming console. It's strategy that makes people want it more, not because they just didn't feel like making any more. If SG succeeds for decades, cool. I don't see it happening at the magnitude she WAS at just a few months ago. So I just don't see the appropriate comparison to TMNT, at all. If something I felt was quality and had the originality of TMNT I would not doubt its potential at all. I'm not anti Gwen either. TMNT is a classic from the get go. Plain and simple. SG is not.

Don't lose faith! I will update you when I've got more news on the book and the show. Right now all I can say is everything's moving forward on both, but it's a slow process. I'm doing everything I can to keep the trains moving. We appreciate all your support. Now back to my writing k-hole.... his last post Must be a pretty deep K-Hole. Tsk Tsk. Depriving all those cats of their tranquilizers.

So true. But it also speaks to the power and longevity of his original creation that, over 50 years later, people are still ripping it off. -J. I just dot get it. It's as if any new character that is created and does not explode is just brushed to the side. Push it, develop it. Just don't walk away. It's something we l crave. To the point people grab on to the likes of Spider-Gwen in all her mild freshness. I'm calling you out Snyder. More Bluebird! Now say it like "More cowbell!" and repeat!

The man is 93 or so and prepared to create new characters. Unbelievable. Somewhere a room full of creators just looked at each other and thought "We are pathetic". Royalty money etc aside I hope someone feels compelled to step up and make their mark.

Take that cartridge out and blow on it. ahhhh lost Zelda game flashbacks

This club has no rules, it's all rainbows, butterflies, and creatures devouring mothers. That was a pretty cool doc, even for someone who never owned an Atari. #Intellivision&ColecoVision

Why you hating on us Atari 2600 guys? no hate. I grew up in a Intellivision house with funky controllers and non stop Pitfall.

Aaaahhhhhhhh I never picked up my PS4 Batman bundle I ordered...VROOOOOOOOOM!
