Due to black cover issues it is possible it will remain the only 9.9.

It is getting a little fast. Looks like they are down to 3 1/2 months form 4.

so should I fast track the 9.4 maybe 9.6 that I have, or just send it MST with a small pile of other books I have waiting right now. Or maybe just FT all of them.

Because the seller says it is a no reserve auction, when it is clearly a make an offer/ buy me now listing.

JJ may turn out to be a show that is liked better by non-comic people. It is not like any other comic books show I have seen, and that may be why it is getting mixed reactions by the comic readers community. You always take a risk when you try something different, for some it just did not work out. Your opinion. I like it and my non-comic reading friends really like it. Despite that raw are still selling for $100.

The majority of the critics like it also. This board is about the only place I have seen any thing negative.

Love how he changed the photo as the 1st one was way to white. The second listing also showed a back.

OA is tough because it truly is one of a kind. Comics can be replaced. Most of them anyway. I have 3 or 4 OA stuff I am agonizing over selling. I would love the $$ to buy other things, at the same time would I miss it.

I sold most of my old X-Men about 3 years ago. I had from about 40 to 544 continuous at one time. I do mildly regret it, but now I would rather have them back as high grade, rather than the mid to mid high I sold off. I also sold Saga 1 about 2 years ago, I am not a big fan of the series so do not miss it from that standpoint, but do miss the extra $100 I could have gotten. By the way, I find it even harder to sell of OA.

3rd prints have remained pretty steady and slabs aren't much higher than they were a few months ago while yes the 2nd prints have tripled. I didn't think 2nd prints would hit $350 in 9.8 this soon, with only 94 blue labels in 9.8 and a very limited number of those for sale, can a $500 sale be far behind? Again, black covers are a pain. I have been looking at the eBay sales and even books going for $50 plus are not what I would call very high grade. Most seem in the 8.5 to 9.4 range, which is surprising for a 3 year old book. There is visible color break along most of the spines, and many have fingerprints.

Only consider reslabbing if the plastic is actually cracked or the corners have come lose. The 3 most recent slabs I have do have considerable play in the sides.

I am fairly certain rubber cement was the original adhesive.

Definitely WILL NOT be a $100 raw book. Wanna take that back? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Alias-2001-Marvel-1-NM-9-2-9-4-1st-App-Jessica-Jones-NETFLIX-DAREDEVIL-HOT-/291617194280?hash=item43e5bd4128:g:z40AAOSwT4lWSNzZ http://www.ebay.com/itm/Alias-1-Jessica-Jones-1st-app-NM-TO-NM-TV-SHOW-COMING-/231759099904?hash=item35f5eb3800:g:D7UAAOSwcdBWTpGW http://www.ebay.com/itm/ALIAS-1-2-3-Marvel-MAX-2001-FIRST-PRINTS-1st-Appearance-of-JESSICA-JONES-Netflix-/172003519285?hash=item280c356b35:g:WHAAAOSwIwhWTT3Z http://www.ebay.com/itm/Alias-1-NETFLIX-DAREDEVIL-BENDIS-GAYDOS-9-6-1st-JESSICA-JONES-NM-/262152012184?hash=item3d097a4198:g:bpQAAOSwLzdWTqSI http://www.ebay.com/itm/ALIAS-1-HIGH-GRADE-2001-MARVEL-MAX-COMICS-1st-JESSICA-JONES-NETFLIX-/201470733081?hash=item2ee8976b19:g:T8gAAOSwv-NWT9r4 Thanks, I did my research. For the past 2 weeks NM have been consistent on eBay around $100, this is a $40 jump from late September.

But, I think we can say with confidence that slabbed 9.8's will maintain the 250 to 300 range. NM raws will comfortably live in the 100 to 125 range. In addition, the book has jumped about $40 for raws in the last month, and about $75 for slabs. Maybe not alot of growth left, but the prices should be stable.

I think there is still little left on this comic for issue 1. I can't imagine Jessica not making some type of cameo on Luke Cage's series, and they have confirmed her for the Defenders series. I think season 2 for this series is very likely at this point. The price has stopped its rapid growth as of about 1 week ago.

Although the black 2nd print cover seems to be the only one truly jumping right now. Some of the rarer variants may follow.

All it shows is that the price for this book seems to have no limit.

The fact that the early reviews are good to great should also help with the book for at least the short to mid term.

They seem ever so slightly faster. On MST it seems to be consistently received to verified about 2 months. Verified to scheduled about 1 week. Then about 1 week to be actually graded. Then shipped. Turn around time is down from about 4 months to 3 to 3 1/2 months.

http://www.metacritic.com/tv/marvels-jessica-jones Thanks! That last review makes me a little worried. 1 out of 15 worries you? It's scoring above Walking Dead season 6, which is blowing the ratings up especially for a cable show, and you are worried? rating is also only based on the first 7 episodes, as the final 6 have not been released to critics yet.

RDJ's contract is ending soon... Plus, it has already been extended once. I believe his original contract was for 3 movies, and he will now be in at least 8? That is why he got the percentage deal that netted him north of 50 mil for the first Avenger movie. And I think all new major cast members are being signed to longer contracts now (think they must commit to 6 now).

I have to say, I am just getting into GA comics, and a lot of the cover work from Fiction house is amazing. Keep them coming, and I will take any people want to part with.

which is why I don't understand why it isn't taking off. It fills the requirements of why a modern comic gets hot yet the Howard variant blows it away. It also fills the requirement for a crash. Most stable priced issues seem to simmer rather than soar. From my experience price stable books are ones that years later people realize were important, or ones that built over time. Not these come out and 2 weeks later they are in the stratosphere. Harley is the perfect example of this (despite going from slow build to very hot). BA 12 and Batman Harley Quinn are now key books, and priced as such. But they were not issues people horded, or over night sensations, it took a long time for them to gain value. Now I can see a price dip over then next few years, but nobody is going to have that currently $1500 book be worth $10 in the foreseeable future.

Looks like Batman 567, 570, and 655 may be getting some heat soon also. It kinda bugs me, but so much about moderns is now dependent on other media. I purchased and then resold Saga 1 (granted it was a 9.2 at best) about 2 years ago for a small profit. That does not make me too happy these days. I also sold my NM 98 (about a 9.0) about 1 year ago for $100, now I could get like $150 or more for it. We all have bad luck at times. Right now all the stuff I am hopeful on I dugout of my basement long boxes and sent to grading at NYCC.

A few other items need to be taken into consideration. 1. Jessica Jones was specifically picked because the story of a truly broken hero is not something comic based entertainment has really addressed yet. Yes, we have the AoS basic similarities, but 2 episodes with a character that comes across otherwise as pretty functional, vs multiple episodes dealing with a very broken character is very different. There is a lot of material there. We got five seasons of Breaking Bad on the simple idea that good guy science teacher becomes a meth maker. On the very surface, would you also say there was not enough material there, or enough to dig into? 2. This whole notion of material and how much you can get out of just 28 comic books is also misleading. Even if you say between 2 and 3 comic books makes a 1 hour of TV, you pretty much have your 13 episodes right there. Plus, TV writers will without question add new storylines, plots etc. Yes, our current TV comic heroes have a lot more source material, but the writers rarely stick to what appeared in the books, but usually use them as the starting point. I have no fear that the entire run is enough for 1 season, and season 2 may be all new stuff. So be it. 3. Marvel has done a great job with lower list characters. In the public eye (as in not comic book people), Iron Man was B or even C list, and the build a multi billion dollar universe around him. The only truly household name character Marvel had 20 years ago was Spider-Man, and they have not been able to use him yet (I know that is changing). Guardians of the Galaxy!?!?! Need I say more.
