  1. Still needs a Venom story to happen before Spider-Island can actually be done. It's already a longshot that it will be Flash Thompson over Eddie Brock, which if they do Eddie, then he needs to become Anti-Venom so Flash could become the replacement Venom in the first place, and why people are going to get burnt REAL BAD on that Amazing Spider-Man #654 2nd Print at these insane prices.
  2. http://comicbookinvest.com/?s=hip+hop AWESOME! I forgot about those articles, I know I read them! There are some other Hip Hop variants, but our topic here is focused on the Marvel ones, so let me filter out the others, here are just the Marvel Related article links: http://comicbookinvest.com/2015/08/01/marvels-hip-hop-variants-part-1/ http://comicbookinvest.com/2015/08/08/marvels-hip-hop-variants-part-2/ http://comicbookinvest.com/2015/10/17/marvels-hip-hop-variants-part-3/ http://comicbookinvest.com/2015/10/31/marvels-hip-hop-variants-part-4/ http://comicbookinvest.com/2015/11/07/marvels-hip-hop-variants-part-5/ http://comicbookinvest.com/2015/11/14/marvels-hip-hop-variants-part-6/ http://comicbookinvest.com/2015/12/12/marvels-hip-hop-variants-part-7/
  3. The NAS homage made sure that one wasn't going to happen. Black Panther is one I thought I could nab later for cheap, nope!!! $20 NM+ book right now.
  4. Yeah a fishy $810 NYX #4 9.8 CGC went, but so did a legit 9.8 from MCS at $485. When they set the market, they sometimes get legits sales to happen around them.
  5. Sorry I don't, but I am sure a bit of strong internet searches might help you. I use an app to manage my collection, and have only bought doubles of certain books on accident a few times. There are over 100 different ones for sure.
  6. That book is what we call a GHOST. You hear of it, but it is never seen. They say they are the leftovers from Daniel Khanna's signing that IDW did for the RI-B covers, and would be a leaked out book if not drawn on. Speaking of a Ghost, the Alex Milne 1:25 from 'Till All Are One #1 out this Wednesday is also a Ghost. This may be the next MTMTE #19 R.I. of the modern Transformers collector. I had found a second copy in the UK, someone nabbed it before I could. I have only one copy on order, I hope it comes high grade! Good luck on the hunt out there for this one if you are after it. Shout out to Futureflash, you should have that book by now! If I had known it was you I would have mylite packed it, but it was packed and gone before you messaged me!
  7. Oh, I forgot the Contribution to the thread..... Dropping next month..... CAPTAIN AMERICA STEVE ROGERS #1 VEREGGE HIP HOP REMIX 2ND PRINT! This will be the first 2nd Printing Hip Hop Variant which may or may not have any spec value, but I am a completionist so I have mine on order!
  8. Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh look another Variant chaser. Well.....I happen to be a product of the 80's/90's, when Hip Hop was actually good. I really dig these covers so I am now on a quest to catch them all. I was doing really well until I had missed the 2 1:100's (Deadpool #2, and All New Inhumans #5). Once I had secured a few copies of those, I resumed the quest. These covers are really tough to get in high grade due to the black ink, one of which is Daredevil #1. I haven;t seen a clean enough copy to buy as of yet. I am currently at 63/??? (I just counted, but I have a few on order too). I may not be alone, so if you have some favorites from the Marvel Hip Hop run, please share. If you hear of a new one coming, share it too! If you wanna see one of the ones I have listed in my current collection, I will share!
  9. I noticed, but I also knew they would revive him, and guess who's coming back in the pages of Squadron Supreme?!?!?!?!? I also doubt any Civil War deaths will stick for long.
  10. You guys are missing the plot point being set up by all these one shots, and that is Someone (Dr. Manhattan) is manipulating the time stream, and it is effecting all the heroes of the DC universe.
  11. There are 0 Ratio variants, all are 100% orderable.
  12. People collect Action Figure Variants other than Star Wars?
  13. Ok, last page of Action made me feel like the 1990's again. I see where this is going, though. Lex and new/old Superman will fight, then team up, then the Kid will have to come save them both. Well played DC, well played.
  14. That is the best question, let alone how many shops do you know of that bought 100 copies of ALL NEW INHUMANS, not Uncanny Inhumans which actually has a stronger readership. The demand is people like me whom are completing an entire Hip Hop Variant Collection. I am obviously not alone, and I am just collecting what I like. RMA, you paid too much, the Deadpool was in the diamond variant blow out at $2.00, so some places got really lucky with that one.
  15. Comichron shows a ~90K sales for Deadpool #2, but only 26K for the Inhumans. Both are 1:100 variants, and hence the scarcity/$ they command.
  16. Good rant, and exactly how I feel, MTMTE better not renumber, but Self Titled can since RID actually died issues ago. I still have to check the 2009 Ongoing series back issue section for Formerly RID back issues after the name drop.
  17. Guess NYX 3 was done getting hot, so NYX4 could blow up too! NYX #4 ENDS at 51 Bids/$810 on eBay
  18. Welcome to TF collecting. Where everyone will have a "ghost" they are chasing. I can tell you these are all about the same print run, few hundred copies each no more. The print runs are about 10K world wide per-issue, but digital sales is enough to carry them. I had 3 copies of the AA #9 at one point, but am down to my personal copy now. I have offered the Botcon Nightbeat to people in trade for the books I need with no takers. I wish you luck on your search. I also annoyed many dealers looking for IDW Transformers books at MegaCon. Sadly, I only nabbed the Dark Cybertron Liefeld variant, and a MTMTE #1E from the show. Both were NM/M copies. I also need to talk about the IDW shared universe rumors, where M.A.S.K. is created from the Ore-13 Ultra Energon, and ROM as well as G.I.Joe share a universe, and may pop up in other titles. If this happens, I am likely OUT. I enjoy these Transformers stories without the hand of Hasbro getting in the way normally, but this is too much especially if it causes a reboot of the titles again. Till All Are One is coming later this month, so this is a big deal if it creeps into the newest title, and it will absolutely get in the way of More Than Meets The Eye's epic run.
  19. Gotta say, Betty and Veronica #1, with Adam Hughes doing Interiors is likely to get me reading Archie stuff.
  20. Batman Rebirth should be a hot book. Duke is in the Batcave talking to Batman about being a Robin... and Batman tells him he has something else in mind. A new costume is shown to Duke. No name is given to the suit but Duke is shown wearing it towards the end of the book...
  21. Getting ready to work the Midnight Release of the 4 new Rebirth One Shots! I flipped through Batman, will re-read it again before Opening, read Superman, its basically Superman #53....... Anyway If I see anything that says Batman #21 is a mover, I'll let Krighton know 1st, then everyone else.
  22. I believe you. I sold a NM+ Monstress #1 1st Print for $60, when the average going rate is $30. Sometimes if you have a REALLY clean copy and a good scanner, then people see the books you hand pick for a reason and are willing to pay to not have to press ect.
