I wouldnt buy it for a buck even if god signed it What if it was witnessed?

I know the price of Snake Eyes is lower than the Boba Fett issue, but at $14.99 and 3000 copies, do you think this could be a hot commodity, or will this mostly just attract Joe fans? How many issues does G.I. Joe sell monthly?

WOWZERS! What's the deal with that site? Apparently you have the choice of paying 14.99 or 19.99 for the book: http://thehallofcomics.com/search?q=snake+eyes But before you do, you have to agree to the terms and condition. When you click the link to read the terms: http://thehallofcomics.com/pages/terms-and-conditions What's the difference with the two price points? Page is fixed, there is a program setup to import listings from ebay which you happened upon before it was fixed. thanks Since you have to agree to the terms of service (link now fixed), they pretty much have taken speculators out of the equation. What do the terms say? "I agree to read and enjoy my comics."

$5 -slym (runs & hides) I was considering responding the same, and would have if it had read "What's the difference between…"

It seems like they might be template pages that shouldn't be accessible to the public. The copy on one of them says that the image is of the actual book for sale, but you can order multiple copies.

As a joke, I was going to suggest some of the highest-printed issues of the original series that weren't #1s. But actually some of those are keys. The most abundant Bloodshot after 1 is the first Ninjak. The most abundant Eternal Warrior is the first full Immortal Enemy. One of the H.A.R.D.Corps members makes a first appearance in the most abundant issue of that series, etc.

Failing would be spending more than you're getting in return.

Do you mean $125+ graded as CGC 9.8? The Neal Adams variant NM (1:50) sells for $45. The Neal Adams sketch variant (1:100) sells for $65. Near Mint for sure some slabbed 9.8's are close to $250 on the bay weirdly enough online the original cover is catching up with the variants that I've seen. However you got a site where they are cheap let me know Ms Marvel 1 NM regular cover has not been selling for more than the Neal Adams covers. And my prices are accurate WRT eBay auctions. Auction ID 321752715141 is US$49.95 for a Ms Marvel #1 Neal Adams cover (1:50). eBay Item id 321752715141 Art Adams is sad that you don't realize he's not Neal... I was going to say, even if one isn't reading the signature, comics fans should be able to tell at a glance the stylistic difference between Neal Adams and Arthur Adams.

The first mention of "6 Infinity Gems" is Marvel Team-Up 55. I believe I posted the exact panel maybe 6 months ago in this thread. I'm not sure where the first individual gem is mentioned but MP 1 is probably as good a guess as any. First Soul/Infinity Gem: Marvel Premiere 1 First Mention of Multiple Infinity/Soul Gems: Random Issue of Captain Marvel Here's what Wikipedia states are the 1st appearances/mentions of the gems/stones. I know Wikipedia can be edited, but more than likely whoever posted this did their homework. I found this interesting: But Marvel Wikia states SS44 as first appearance: http://marvel.wikia.com/Infinity_Gauntlet_%28Item%29 I don't have Thanos Quest 2 to verify but I do have SS44 and it's there. Are the gems in the gauntlet in SS44? That seems to be what the Thanos #2 reference is about.

You were right.

If the 30K print run on Point One is correct, then there were at most 400 copies of the 1:75 earned. It's almost certainly less than that, as I can't see that every shop that ordered one copy ordered at least 75, and some even multiple of 75. But then, no KK on the cover.

Print variations will happen. Looks like weak cyan on the right. Are they moving at $10/each?

I like the idea of a character whose abilities aren't necessarily conducive to a fighting force. Remember, these are students looking to hone their powers to their best potential. Not everyone is going to have the same ceiling of potential. Could be a great metaphor for subtext in the movie.

"GIMME GIMME GIMME". Is this what RMA meant ? If so, then we probably deserve a crash. Anyone who suddenly wants this book simply because the concept of a potential movie was announced and pays "$700+" will probably lose money, as hundreds and hundreds (thousands?) of copies are now being boxed and readied for CGC as I type this. Although I do still find RMA's comments hypocritical, considering he will be an active particpant in the "madness". I don't think anybody who pays $700 for this book would ever (or have any right) to go back to the dealer who sold them the book six months later and blame them for their nonsensical impulse buy. And I don't think that is anything RMA (or any other dealer) worries about. It really is a "GIMME GIMME GIMME" on both sides then, isn't it RMA. By the way, the books to own are (still) X-men 1, Hulk 181, NM 87 and 98. Those no-name D-lister mutants in MGN 4 will not be what carry any movie (assuming the movie even happens). The general public has gone to see every x-men movie thus far essentially for wolverine. The comic fan boys want to see Deadpool and Cable now. The real X-men would undoubtedly appear in any "New Mutants" movie as well. And Oops, what if the potential title literally means what it says and FOX actually creates "new mutants" that never appeared in any comic. Quite the possibility, since, lets face it, the "new mutants" that appeared in the comics really are quite lame. -J. I think, like pretty much all other movies based on comics (with the exception of Fantastic Four, for what I think are obvious reasons), the team for the movie will pull from the entire run, maybe even from Generation X (whose rights I imagine are also with Fox, but would be a pointless title for a movie about teens these days, I think), for what makes a good dynamic for the movie. I'll point out too that at least two of the original team have been members of the Avengers recently in the comics. (I don't keep up much with current Marvel, so I don't know if that's a temporary thing.) I would think, at the very least, we'll see at least Cannonball and Sunspot in the movie. I loved the character Warlock, but it's probably far too complicated a backstory to include him in a first movie. Illyana, perhaps. There could be some good setup for a sequel with her abilities. Wolfsbane, Rictor, and Boom Boom for a 6-member team perhaps?

I think you mean: CM14 < ANMN1 < CM17/2nd Not in my opinion - I know CM17/2 is $corching right now, but as far as significance... I just don't get it. Unless I'm mistaken or missing something - it's not Unnamed-Person's first appearance, not even in cameo (that's CM14). It's not the first time the name "Kamala Khan" ever appeared in comics and while in costume too (that's ANMN1). I just don't get all the hoopla about "Unnamed-Person's first appearance on a cover". But to each his own... collect what you enjoy and enjoy what you collect! I was misinterpreting one of your comments. I think this is going to be one of those situations where there is no relevant analogy to point to. But even if there was, I agree with "buy what you want." Of course, lots of collectors let what they want be influenced heavily by the market.

I think you mean: CM14 < ANMN1 < CM17/2nd

It's actually collected along with Ms. Marvel Issues #1-5 in the first Trade Paperback. Semantics. I think it was clear the point was it's not an excerpt from an upcoming book.

Yep. I'd like to see that bubble burst as ANMP1 is actually the first app. Why the hate, man? There's room for both. BTW - Captain Marvel 17 (2nd print) cameo in book, first full costume on cover of book, release date according to Marvel: December 11, 2013 Was it really that far back? Some time ago, I decided that I was going to start collecting Carol Danvers appearances. I think with the increased attention to her the last few years, especially with the name change to the name that a pretty significant trademark for Marvel, that within a decade or so she'll be viewed as Marvel's Wonder Woman. So when the Phase 3 movie lineup was announced, I realized that I shouldn't wait on picking things up. (I had already secured several copies of Marvel Super-Heroes 13 and Ms Marvel 1 in high grade.) I hit the back issue bins for some recent books the next day. I was a little disappointed at the time that I had to settle for some reprints for certain issues. Usually they raise back issues by only a quarter. I got ripped. Phase 3 announcement was in October. That means the issue was there for 10 months. Still in decent condition.

In Valiant's Archer & Armstrong, the Sect regards Armstrong similarly, calling him He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named. I think it makes for sense to call the new, respectable company Armstrong, and the one run out of someone's garage Voldemort.

How does one request notations?

I don't see there being as much demand there. Basically just for completists.

Same ol' madness. I've got probably 20 raw 9.8s that I could really use in slabs right about now. I find it interesting (ironic) that, on the one hand you evidently believe the fact that a couple of people have maximized their profits on a famous, rare variant reflects a "GIMME GIMME GIMME" mentality, and is foretelling the end of days for the hobby in general, because you disagree with what said famous, rare variant sells for. And yet here you are in this thread, slickly cheerleading common, mass produced, copper age schlock (NM 1, MGN 4) that you conveniently have stacks of in a back room somewhere, and that nobody gave a rat's azz about until the announcement of a (possible) movie being made in the next ten years featuring (possibly nothing more than) the title "New Mutants". Interesting to be sure. -J. I don't see the post as "cheerleading." Anyway, if one is convinced the hobby is crashing, it makes sense that one might wish to cash out, no?

Well, what preceded it was a financial success, so the business people said, "Make more of this!" But the creative fuel wasn't there. Happens often.
