At NYCC I saw one dealer with a raw first print for $60 and second print for $40. Didn't check out the condition though.

Hi boss,
Most retail outlets use the following for pricing on MtG:
starcitygames.com
They have a search engine on site to evaluate cards. As with comics, price varies on condition. Also like comics, lots of drek to wade through VS cards of value, but if she has some of the earlier editions, the cards can be very valuable and an easy flip.
Cheers,
Cole
This is helpful. I have a bunch of cards from the first few editions and expansions myself and want to unload them as well. I know that some cards tend to fluctuate in price depending on whether cards are useful with the latest game play.

Add bdieter8 to your blocked bidders lists. Bought a lot of Batwoman New 52 1 thru 10 for $15.00 from me in September. He contacted me yesterday saying he never received the package although USPS tracking clearly shows it was delivered on Sept. 24 (he lives in an apartment). He asked for a refund and I refused since I shipped the product and it was delivered. Jerk just left negative feedback and is escalating the case.
Just playing devil's advocate here, because I once bought a lot off of eBay that showed as shipped but never arrived. It could have been delivered to the wrong address. (Not suggesting the shipping address was wrong, just that the post office may have dropped it in the wrong place.)

That's Milo Manara, quite a different artist than Greg Land, and if you saw what that cosplayer did, the proportions are not that far off. It's not Manara's best work, but it's been so blown out of proportion by people that don't know comics it's hilarious.
Here's Greg Land's greatest hits, he is a tracer, swiper and recycler:

I know, I was saying there is a lot worse than Land, but now that I see that tracing work, wow.
Is this the cosplay? Doesn't look that similar to me.
Here is the cosplay I was talking about.
http://www.toplessrobot.com/2014/10/cosplayer_ivy_pole_adds_fuel_to_the_milo_manara_sp.php
Proportionally, Ivy has a pretty long torso (not sure exactly how tall she is, but from the pics on her Facebook page it looks like she's pretty tall), and it's still much shorter in the photo when compared to the Manara art. Add in the face that doesn't project nearly as much up into the air, and that the angle is not as extreme, and that Ivy already said that it hurt to be holding the pose, and I think it proves what the critics were saying; that it's unrealistic.

Did you pay for it yet?

Tough to build readership on a new book when the print run is so low. boardies buy up all of the copies as soon as they hit the shelves.
FTFY. Both are true. While I've picked up an extra copy when they've hit the shelves at the store (and a few at NYCC), I make sure to leave some for the next person. I think for the value to hold long-term, enough of them need to get out into the hands of people that don't know about them.

It will be interesting to see where this one closes at, already sitting at $70
Is she a mutant or something? Her head is as big as her torso.
You just continue to amaze me . . . I am an amazing person.

I should say too, that if a flood of NM 98 slabs does depress the market for that ook a bit, that could send ripples through the speculative market. No one likes to see cracks in the system, even if it's not initially directly affecting what they're selling.
-
Someone requested that I post a comment here that I posted in another thread regarding my experience at NYCC, so here goes:
Liefeld was charging $30 for a signature on NM 87 or 98. $20 for any other book. Yet there was still a line of people at his table getting sigs. He had a dedicated CGC employee witnessing. I submitted some books for grading, including 6 (unsigned) NM 98s. The conversation that I had with the CGC employee seemed to indicate what we all suspected; a TON of people are submitting this book for grading. There is going to be a flood on eBay soon, I suspect. If you're not holding long-term, the time to sell is probably now, if you want to avoid massive competition once those books start shipping back to their owners.Now, it's quite possible that a lot of people were getting sigs but not slabbing, or they'll be slabbing but not selling, but certainly there's a good amount of people looking to cash in. My plan is to hold onto my best slab and start to sell off the rest (depending on how the market is when I get my delivery). I imagine we're going to see a lot of copies popping up on eBay once those NYCC books start shipping.
I don't know if I should have bothered with getting my copies SSed. Not kicking myself for not doing it. What I am kicking myself for not doing is getting my ASM 361s signed by Mark Bagley, who was signing about 10 yards from the CGC booth, and only requesting donations to Hero Initiative (a seriously worthy charity, especially for comic fans) for sigs. I did get Claremont to sign a Wolverine 1.

I think they're $15 per book at the show, $20 for the replacement copies shipped. It's not too cool of ComicXposure to flip these themselves on day 1 of the convention. However, who knows. Maybe they set some aside before they went to New York.
They were supposed to be $15? They charged me $20 when I went by to pick up my books. I guess that explains why they're going to ship the book that wasn't delivered for "free"

Next week.
All Phantoms 1's ship as well
Good to know. I thought I saw the 8th mentioned previously.

Did anyone's shops not get #4 today? It wasn't there, or on the list of releases.

Sorry Larry. I honestly don't remember.100% agree. There are a ton of these, and this is in no way X-23's first app. I read somwhere that that test tube was just coincidence.
that test tube BS and people putting it in their sale title is a great way to assemble a list of sellers I dont want to buy from.It's a like a hype/pump detector.
"read somwhere that that test tube was just coincidence"
link or proof please...
Really sounds like too much of a coinky-dinky to me . . .
It is too much of a coincidence.
Whoever created the physical female form of X-23 really knew wolverines backstory and pulled " X-23" directly out of wolverine # 80, I don't see how it could have happened any other way.
Just FYI, X-23 was created for the TV show X-Men Evolution. The episode was written by Craig Kyle and Chris Yost. Neither of these guys wrote NYX #3, but they both wrote 'X-23' (2005), her first ongoing series which developed her backstory and origin.
As you say, It's highly unlikely they pulled the number 23 out of thin air. It's hard to think that anyone could remember a single, throwaway panel, but these guys would have done their homework.
It's a cool little retrospective easter egg if you're an X-23 fan.
I've never read anything with X-23, but perhaps "23" refers to the number of pairs of chromosomes in human DNA, and is therefore not a random number being selected. (Also note that the 23rd pair is what determines sex; a female has two Xs and a male a Y and an X.)

This book is really all over the place. It was real hot for a little. Still good money for a 2nd print.
The problem with the link I shared is that it's not marked as a reprint (and it has a corner that's a little messed up, so it's not a top-quality reprint). Buyer might be getting an unpleasant surprise.

I thought thats what we agreed it was
It might be the first Encino Man advertisement, but it's not the first Domino, real or otherwise.

Now, if we are saying collectors were not buying cases of these books then, I cannot argue with that. But to say speculation was not occurring when NM 98 came out is not true.
I don't see where anyone said speculation wasn't occurring. Did you have a specific comment in mind?
I certainly was speculating. From #93 on, I bought 15 copies of each book, all the way up to #100, because I believed Liefeld was the new McFarlane.
And he was. Kinda.
I was initially just buying one of each, but I found a bunch of extra 86s and was buying multiples as of the early to mid 90s. Time to slab the 7 98s.
-
Who would have thought this book would gain some legs? Spider-man Annual 22:
I've got a copy that is easily a 9.6/9.8.
Well, it seems to be selling for no more than a book that size would be cover-priced at today. But still, it's selling. I kind of expect that any first appearance of a Marvel character is going to have a buyer if it's not outrageously priced at this point.

Isn't nebula Thanos daughter or something?
Which would mean IM 55 is also Nebulas 1st app, she's inside Thanos nut sack. In sperm form, go get 'em.
By that logic, if you find a panel where the Big Bang was depicted, that's the first appearance of all characters and things that hadn't previously appeared, since that contains all of the raw material for everything. Start buying cosmic now.

You've all been immeasurably supportive of Enormous.
So, here's the first thing we're going to do, and there's other news coming specifically directed to you all on this board. But first things first -
If you are going, and I mean you are confirmed for NYCC and would like the Enormous #4 variants available via ComicXposure.

I will compile a reservation list and pass it directly to ComicXposure (they've agreed to this) and a limit of 2 copies per each cover will be reserved in your name. Available for pick up at the show.
If you are having a friend "pick up" copies for you - send me their name like so with your contact info:
John Smith for Ed Jones
Cool?
We want you all to have this book!
This is very cool of you. Thanks so much. PM sent.

My new series, just announced. Did you all get a chance to check out my first book with Boom? Curse was the title. This one is Burning Fields due in January 2015.
Looks good. Will check it out.

Assuming the Copper Age last until 2000 when the Walking Dead #1 hit the stands: Here are some other hot Copper books according to Lyria!

I grabbed three Static #1s still bagged for 50 cents each. Anyone??
Open it and read it. Static was a good book.
that test tube BS and people putting it in their sale title is a great way to assemble a list of sellers I dont want to buy from.
