Growing up the main villain in this series was the lamest villain I knew. I hated seeing him in a book that I was reading because I knew it was going to suck.
After reading Alias I was a little more inclined to like him.
After watching the 1st episode I am now a fan. That was a great 1st episode.
Sometimes characters work better in one medium than another. Granted it is usually they work in books or comics and suck on the screen, this one just goes the other way.

I do not think that the Alias vs NYX 3 comparison is that accurate. NYX has risen steadily with no real rumor of a TV or Movie attached. It has been far more gradual and steady as the character has grown in importance in the comic universe. Alias 1 did not really start to rise until the initial TV rumors back in 2011 and really started to pop once Netflix confirmed the series.
Now that does not mean I think either book is going to crash. Alias should have a little more growth in my opinion, but Marvel needs to continue to use the character. Jessica is still a c list character in the comic universe, while Laura is now being promoted as an A list comic universe character. Now if Laura ever gets rumored for a screen, NYX 3 could go absolutely nuts, so I still think that book has more room for future growth.

From what I can tell, Avengers 144 is up.
I am getting the feeling that there will be five defenders in the Defenders series.

1100.00 for a 9.9/highest and only one on census for a trending property with a large appetite is a deal
How much did you think it should sell for?
I cant answer this question without being perceived a capitalist. So Ill say this:
Being that this it the ONLY 9.9 on the census and the only listing for such a (popular) item in that grade, the seller made the mistake of listing it at a 1500. Esp since he is accepting offers. I believe that if he listed it at, say, 3500 or 5000 he wouldve gotten higher offers.
It is the only 9.9 yet. Yet is the key word here.
Yes, I expect a few more to show up. It will never be a high volume item. Even if 4 or 5 more are found, I can not see that having a profound effect on value.

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.
-
Why are they a liar?
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.

I've enjoyed it a lot but I was a fan when the original book was hitting the LCS. Wife likes it too.
The majority of the critics like it also. This board is about the only place I have seen any thing negative.
-
we shut it down again!! good job guys.
he also has a fake skateboard up if ya wanna shut that down too
Love how he changed the photo as the 1st one was way to white. The second listing also showed a back.
-
I am always reluctant to sell off OA since I know that I will never see it ever again. Only once have I lost an auction for OA and seen the page turn up again. (I lost it again as well)
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.

Yes 2nd and 3rd prints are really smoking currently.
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.
-
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.
Definitely WILL NOT be a $100 raw book.
Wanna take that back?
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.
-
I don't believe this book is now suddenly a modern "key". Movies and TV show appearances don't turn first appearance books into overnight "keys". Books of note, perhaps but not "keys".
That term is bandied about far too casually.

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.

I can only imagine what it will be like when Negan finally arrives..
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.

Only one more day
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.
ALERT! bijoubaby05 now selling on EBAY as "all things comics" and "comix_code"

Has become a trash can just recently?
I think it is more like a flea market, a lot of good mixed in with tons of bad, and you just have to be educated about your items, and as careful as possible.
