  1. $17 for Harley Quinn #1? I slabbed that book when it came out and it got a 9.9. I was like, "I'll grade this, it looks really nice"
  2. Black Mask is going to be in the new Batman Arkham Origins game.
  3. The WD bubble will burst when the TV show is canceled or if they cancel the comic series or both.
  4. Yea, I had to do a double take and look closer at the label before I made a comment...which is rare.
  5. That would be cool if they made a tv series out of Todd The ugliest kid
  6. Problem is that the mods are expecting 20,000+ members to all get along with each other and that's just not going to happen. Do the mods like every person they meet in real life? Of course not! Why should people censor themselves on a message board when they don't do it in person? People are not mind readers and you shouldn't have to edit yourself because someone "might get offended" If someone gets offended, then that is their own issue to deal with. Not saying we should call each other names or lay into people but you can't even say cr@p on this site!!
  7. Anyone pick up and play Injustice yet? if so How is it? Most reviewers are giving it an 8/10.
  8. We all know about Metropolis, You can see the rest of the art collection on comicartfans.
  9. Modern books where 99.9% of the run is in 9.2 or better shape and taken well care of since they were printed, cannot be compared to Hulk #1 and Fantastic Four #1, who's value has been established over nearly 60 years and is based on it's proven desirability, and not a hypothetical future success or relevance. As for what price is too much. In the same way that WD lifts all other moderns below it when it tracks a new high, and proves "what's possible". The golden age rarities do the same and open up space for people to pay more on the silvers. Same way things like the mcfarlane art sale "let" people start justify paying much more for OA, even pieces of questionable future relevance. Dips in a market, or corrections to a bubble, are buying opportunities for well positioned people. Not just in comics, but all markets. It shakes out weak hands, breaks people playing on margin (debt), and sets strong floors for values. aka, even during the correction item X never went below price Y. There are lots of bubbles in the comics world (OA, Slabbed books, Moderns, comics with TV rumors, copper/bronze keys, maybe even silver minor keys), if and when some of them finally "correct", it only does so to improve the overall strength of the market as a whole. If someone want to pay all time highs for a book, just make sure the numismatic value of it is truly there, and you wont lose out. Action 1s arent going to go on sale, even if the bottom of the entire comic market fell out. If you are willing to set a record price for something, just know where it stands in the pecking order. Good post.....if a market adjustment happens again, and I am sure it will.....just make sure your ready because a lot of your current stuff will end up worthless.....pay close attention and invest only where you think the book had legs to hold up. People buying 100 copies of every #1 out there will ge she'll shocked when this happens....just my I personally tend to stay away from moderns as far as "a book with legs" I only buy them simply because I love the book itself, usually because I love the cover. I remember when people were paying $25-30K for 9.8 Hulk 181's but of course as more and more copies got the 9.8 grade, the price dipped, now one can be had for around 10K I'd certianly would not want to be that guy who paid 150K for the only 9.9 copy that was on comiclink a few years ago. Or even one of the guys who paid the 25K for a 9.8, or the 9.9 NM 98 for 12K. In the comic world however, condition is King! Would I pay 5K for a ASM 300 9.9? Nope. Why? I don't see much of a future for the character Venom, also the print run is too large. Very nice book but i'd settle for a 9.8 and just be happy with that. WD #1 is the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1...Laugh all you want, but it's true. Getting back to East of West, I bought 12 copies and I'll just slab and flip them. Only reason why people bough 5-10+ copies of it anyway!
  10. I went 10 for 10 on guesses I'm good! All 9.8 NoWhere Men 1 X 4 Nowhere Men 2 Peter Panzerfaust 3, 4, 7, 8 (2) All of them on ebay right now with bidding ending Sun 10pm est.
  11. Most books that rise in value were never hoarded to begin with. Remember when all those people hoarded WD #1 and now made thousands selling them? No.......me either. Yes but WD #1 also didn't have any variants
  12. Very nice books but OCD CBT says "put them in order" and "where are 3 & 6" He'll get 3 & 6 when I submit my raw copies and sell them to him for a discount.
  13. M& M comics I usually use, packing is great
  14. I wonder how much these will sell for as slabbed 9.8s
  15. I don't even walk into comic stores anymore, much easier just to pre-order what I want. LCS are just filled with magic card gamers and a terrible selection of back issues.
  16. I got them April 3rd and they came out the 27th. I ordered them from M&M Comics, they pack extremely well, they put them in double boxes with styrofoam peanuts. Midtown should take notes.
  17. Please explain. i am very green when it comes to this hobby. that being said, when a comic has the hearts and minds of females, it tends to bode very well for longevity. again, this is anything BUT a knock on NWM. fair point. I was only comparing the two books' (RRP and TB) potential. Nowhere Men may not be there yet. But ES and Nate Bellegarde are putting a really good book together. Lurkers: READ THIS BOOK! I love how much EXTRA work Eric and Nate are putting into the book. - New covers - Talking on the boards - Pimping the book Pimping the book? Wonder how much Nate and Eric are charging to sneak a peek at the next issue's "interior"
  18. I got my 12 copies today and they look great.
  19. Couldn't of just taken the subway over and pick them up?
  20. I called CGC today and I have the following coming all in 9.8. Nowhere Men 1 (4 copies) NoWhere Men 2 Peter Panzerfaust 3, 4, 7 and 8 (2 copies) 10 for 10 on 9.8's Can I grade or what? All will be sold.
  21. I got 12 copies on the way I preordered, Also have 10 copies of #2 coming next month.
  22. TTA 36 seems to be a common issue, but if I just didn't purchase one (old label, too) I'd definitely be interested - I really like that issue a lot. Wouldn't say common, but I bought it cause I loved the cover Post a scan of it! I'd love to see it... Ask and you shall receive! This 8.5 is sexy!
  23. Nick Dragotta told me at WonderCon that he is doing it mostly digital. Only the covers and certain panels that he feels are important to the series are being done by hand. But he is not selling those because he is invested in the series and plans on doing the series as long as Hickman lets him. BUT, he does take commissions. I got a nice "Crow" and saw a few really good looking ones of "Death" pointing his pistol! I know its, "pictures or it didnt happen" .. so pictures will follow! I saw your "Crow" commission and it looks bad ! Here is the mine: This one will be hung up on my wall asap! I like it but he needs to be centered out on the page more and never cut off a hand.
