Snikt!1988

9.6@$650...

never under estimate the power of the force… http://www.boredpanda.com/giant-star-wars-snow-sculpture-sapporo-festival-japan/ whens the last time a country did a Wolverine sculpture in snow?!? never...

550 a day and 3 hrs... wowsa...

I think it will cross $500. it just did. Holy stomm, your right! Greatful; I still got a 9.6... Hopefully it'll be in the 800s before the film...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/161583474168?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT $400 more then a day to go… for a 9.6...

Amen to that!

I'll be willing to wager that there is a direct relationship between the continual rise of this book and the amount of butthurt out there… I'll call it the "NM98 phenomena…"; when a seeming limitless commodity becomes increasingly valuable due to popularity of said item… leading to others who "perceive" said item to be worthless becoming overwhelmingly butthurt due to their lapse in judgement… I believe that this phenomena is interrelated with other human flaws such as; being selfish, and stubborn leading to modern term most commonly known as "butthurt"...

In response to my questioning of the comic… "Not a head start at this particular copy, a head start at picking up other copies of the book from local comic shops who might have it in their back issue bins, before those shops realize what they're sitting on and price those copies through the roof. As I laid out in the listing description, this was only a very very recent discovery by "blankiddy blank" whose own listing only ended over this past weekend, so the thinking is that the knowledge is nowhere near mainstream yet (the fact you yourself don't automatically know which book this is supports that notion) and is knowledge worth protecting at least for now. I definitely understand your reaction and lack of interest though, and I apologize if I've caused you frustration in the way my listing is constructed"

I think as long as this book keeps pulling these prices the more butthurt other collectors will be…

I don't know just the most annoying ebay listing i have ever seen… I was like with are you selling anyways? an idea???

This listing gave me a headache; as well as the sellers explanation… http://www.ebay.com/itm/1st-True-Appearance-of-Spawn-in-Black-and-White-PREDATES-Malibu-Sun-13-Spawn-1-/131417327596?ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123

talk about sleeping giant… I always thought this book had potential… I'm still butt hurt over selling mine… a couple things come to mind… -Will the trickle down effect happen with grades 9.6 9.4 and so on… Using the NM 98 phenomena… I remember when NM 98 9.8s where at 400… now a year later NM 98 9.6's are going for 500… will we now see SW 1 9.6s at $700??? -Is this book the sleeper of the Bronze Age; trumping Hulk 181 in the long run… -What happened to the .35 cent variants… 9.8s are now tallying prices that low grade copies where once garnishing… how will it effect those books? -What happened when Episodes II and III came out as far as Ebay and CGC??? Wasn't there speculation during that period???

this is now the greatest thread of the bronze age...

posted this awhile back didn't know about this thread...

completing the first arc 1-25… I have four more on the way in the coming months… in the future Ill snipe off what I can from ebay for my blue label ones… Cerebus ties into TMNT and Spawn very well...

bronze goodness...

Adding to my run...

Cooling off is like what happened with that Deadpool wedding variant...

these variants keep going up consistently year after year… wonder what the long term potential is...

Wowww....

side note: Wolverine #1 JSC Deadpool variant have 39 Blue Label 9.8s… It should be a $12,500 book based on the market of comics right now… there are 5 known Wolverine 145 Bone Claw Errors graded at 9.6… That's a 90k book right there alone…

WD #1 has 650 in 9.8… It has consistently been a 2k book… NM 98 has 1500… and has been selling for record numbers… things that defy logic happen all the time… this book is now a 1k and up book… Thats based on fact… not "the factors" one can argue against it… .35 cent variants of SW #1 are the biggest book of the Bronze Age… There are 3 films that are lined up… I sold mine for 1100 bc a boardie had interest… and I felt now was the time… I knew there where a lot of lower grade listings in the past but 9.8s dried up… I sold mine 30 mins after listing… I will be willing to bet as well as the boar die waiting to sell his; that this book remains up there… with the new series and JSC variant selling out at my LCC theres definitely interest in this book now...

$1,703…. I think everyone saying negative things about this book are spraying a little hatorade… bottom line is the people buying this book are not on this forum… so; basing logic from that stand point… sure a boardie can argue all they want… bottom line is… the book is making record sales… the book is hot… as evidence by recent sales… base your logic on that… there are 250 or so blue label CGC 9.8's in two months lets see if it goes from 250-1500 in 9.8… I doubt that… base your logic on right now...

Yup... Should of waited though... patience is a virtue... used it to buy a lot of Cerebus File Copies... something I really wanted but still could have used the money to cover the whole lot...
