bold part - absolutely not possible, not even slightly. as for "other comic book movies", marvel is in its own separate world. There are comic book movies, and Marvel movies, and their fates and futures, long ago separated... Ant-man is Marvel's first heist film, and just one of their many moves into all genres. Nuff said While Ant-Man doesn't look awesome to me, if it plays an important role in the entire MU then it should do well as people will need to see it to stay in the loop.

Yup, I think the odds are that both books will do well. I prefer to avoid playing with Murphy's law. Whenever I think 'big' it never happens that way so I now tend I keep my expectations low and then I'm always pleasantly surprised.

I just listed these sweet books in the Markeplace in the same thread as the Action #7 above in case anyone is interested. House Of Mystery #4 CGC 9.6 OW - Bethlehem Manhunt #1 CGC 9.4 OW (1947)

Actually, 'Marvel chipping' does happen on DC books. It's just not as common, but especially in the mid - late SA I've seen plenty of it. Hey Roy - would like your opinion…some in this thread have estimated that both the AF15 and Bat 1 could go for 50K each…what do you think? My man, I try not to speculate on future values anymore. When it comes to desirable books. I'd just value on the lower end of a given range and be excited if I exceed it.

YES!! FOR ENGLAND!!!!

I was the first board member to walk TupennyConan down this stretch of Yonge St.

I once misattributed this sentiment to fingh, a fellow Vision enthusiast. He was fit to be tied. Oh, I know he loves the Viz. Vision sucks.

It might be just me but I always thought the Vision sucked.

I don't even bother copying my times anymore. But I still get plenty of these. Keep Park out of this I need to retrain my computer not to Park itself.

If it's in the terms of sale upfront and a buyer agrees to fast pay, slow ship them it's OK but personally, if someone expects quick pay without disclosing upfront I'd expect the seller to reciprocate and ship reasonably quickly as well.

Isn't the entry for a complete Bats #1 at about $20K? If so this price was right on the mark.

Your goal posts moved again. Now you are only relying on 'publicly available sales data' which would exclude anything you can't find on GPA. But countless people have already shown that the GPA data can misrepresent sales and are not statistically viable because there are no real controls in place. Auctions vs. BIN's, faked eBay sales or sales that did not follow through, large differences in eye appeal, was it an upgradeable old label or just a new label and even just WHEN or WHERE the sale took place can and do create large variables. There are more variables, these are just the ones that come to mind quickly. But the Clink auctions were a perfect example that proved you wrong. And they are not imaginary, exaggerated or secret. They're just not posted for you to see. They ran literally 100's of auctions of books in the same grade (possibly 1000's), at the same time, in the same format and the books with White pages consistently went for more than non white page copies. And that should be the end of the discussion. Anyhow, this is my last post on the subject. Have fun all.

I don't think they do. There was some talk of getting Timms to run stuff for DC as based on what people said about his animated DCU he seems to 'get it'. One thing is for sure, DC needs to hit it out of the park asap with this 'big push' they have forming or they are going to lose all credibility and get left in the dust for good.

You don't know me, who I am, what I do, or who I've done business with on these boards (that may or may not be posting in this thread). What's "laughable" is that the one post you have "contributed" to this otherwise (mostly) civil discussion is this single, inflammatory and offensive post. So how is the view from the peanut gallery? Grow up man. -J. Knowing Jive, it was meant as a tongue in cheek post but there's a lot of truth in it. And your goal posts have moved. And you have a hard time admitting you are wrong.

It won't.

The Clink auctions I referenced are a perfect example of how wrong you are. Clink would regularly have dozens or even hundreds of duplicate grades with the only difference being White and non-White page books, within the same auction. The White page books regularly sold for more than the non-White page books and apparently Clink killed the practice because non-White page consignors were upset that their books didn't sell for as much as the White page copies. It doesn't get more conclusive than that. As far as I'm concerned the conversation is over but you keep beating your drum to try and make yourself look right. It's just plain silly that you are attempting to use one of the few auction houses that "doesn't" report to GPA, and has no readily accessible archived results, in lieu of the litany of data from basically every other vendor that does in order to "prove" a point that is easily (and has been) disproved. Silly, indeed. I don't need to make myself "look right". The hard data and actual facts already do that. Deal with it. -J. What is silly is that this is a well known, well observed phenomenon and the Clink auctions bore this out because their auction results are well known to favor White paged copies, all other things (including grade, time of sale and type of venue) being equal. The fact that they don't report to GPA is irrelevant only because you either can't remember or didn't see the results. But the reason they discontinued the practice is proof enough. You're just never wrong. Ever. Ever.

It's a dumb choice made for PC reasons (again). She's a terrific actress but I agree, the Eastern mysticism that Strange learned was taught by an old Asian dude. And back then there were only old Asian dudes teaching it. That's just a fact of history. I hate it when someone rewrites history. It's probably going to be a good movie but stuff like this does irk me. I'm a purist, sue me.

Clink auctions used to run auctions with books in the exact same grade, but there would be a White page example and a non-White page example in the same auction finishing at the same time. More often than not the White page copy finished with a higher price. The entire reason they ran them together is because they knew specific buyers would target White pagers. They did this for years. Don't know if they still do. they don't any more because the inferior pq copy consignors complained, because their copies weren't realizing the same prices the better pq copies were Game, set, match.

NO WAY... I read that too but his head is HUGE!!! I assumed also that he was comparable to Tom hardy because of that spy movie... And he's 5'9" - learn something every day I guess. Like Tom Cruise, Hardy plays a lot of 'big' roles but he isn't overly tall. He just always looks that way on film.

Eh, no. You initially argued that 'all things being equal' the PQ doesn't matter and then went on to provide examples where 'all things were not equal'. Look man, I think you're wrong (again) but I'm not going to get sucked into a back and forth. The nicer the book the stronger the price it fetches. Anybody who will argue that, well...

+1 That basically nails it. (thumbs u -J. While not everyone cares about PQ, QP or eye appeal, on average the nicer books, whether it's eye appeal, quality of production, page quality or grade, always sell for more than books not as nice.
