Asking $300 $260 OBO.

First up, a con exclusive of Marvel Heroes #28 from the Comic-Con Angouleme Festival in France in 2010. Combo cover by Giuseppe Camuncoli and Del'Otto.

Prices are getting a bit nutty on eBay for the TBP...

They'll drop once the series gets going. I'm guessing it's about as rare as the one per store variants, which is to say, not that rare.

This just popped up on eBay, A raw Ruby Red for $1200 obo... This is my Campbell grail, but unfortunately I don't have the funds right now to buy it with rent coming up  =( And since I can't have it, I'd make you guys aware of it...

Wow, it's been a while since I've seen one pop up. Looks more VF+ than NM- to me though.

I don't know a lot about the Turner Supergirl cover (Batman/Superman #4 German), but I believe the reissue that caused a bit of a stir was the Aspen SDCC one right? Well, that one to me was different enough to not be as big of a deal.

B/S 4 was a Euro cover that reprinted a page in an existing comic though. The SDCC variant wasn't all that scandalous for those reasons.

Just back from the slab shop! First 9.8s on the census! (And probably hitting the marketplace soon so I can pay for all my other slabbings.)

For ASM 666 retailers were allowed to order as few as 500 copies of their store variant.  

-J.

That's definitely not the norm though. I suspect they allowed that because there's no way a store could move 3,000 copies of that variant. Even 500 would be tough.

So not sure if any of you saw this Unkown comics is reusing the X-23 #1 art as a virgin X-Men red 1. 

Presale starts tonight at 7 pm.

Raw 19.99

cgc 9.8 99.99

cgc ss 169.99

WHAT DO YOU THINK THIS WILL DO TO THE ORIGINAL?

Well, the Supergirl German Turner variant is still selling for $1,800 in 9.8 format. The Aspen comics virgin of that cover that was released this year (and much better looking frankly) is only about $250 in 9.8. So if that's any indication, I doubt it'll affect it too much.

Might also be a good time to buy it as people may panic flip it for cheaper.

What I wonder though is it says only 1000 released online. Does this mean another 2000 will be released at conventions?

I'll tell you a duh moment I had last year guy from Italy lists two original sketches by Dell'Otto in pencil . Both were small but very early stuff 2003-2006ish. He offered both to me off eBay for $ 180.00 Canadian I said no I just wanted Spiderman . He went ahead with his auction , Spidey got North of $ 400.00 on his own. What a dumb move that was. One I regret because it was cool image of his head and very early piece.

Just out of curiosity, did you know about this? Seems like its right up your alley if not.

Bump, price drop on both.

Man this is kind of disconcerting that they don’t sell well a few months after these books release. Thought the artists and series would help it survive a little longer. Or, maybe the saturation on eBay hurts the value a bit.

Quick flippers right now are definitely saturating the market. But I think it's the reality of store exclusives. Currently, they just don't hold short-term market value. I will say though, it seems like it takes an average comic 3-5 years to mature in value. So time will tell if they are good long-term investments.

I tried but by 2:01 I missed it. Sold out on the virgins.

I wouldn't worry, just wait a few months before you scoop it up. There's probably going to be close to 150-200 9.8s out of there by the time all the companies selling it slab their pre-sales. This is before regular people do. Metal 2 also has a 700 print run vs the other's 600. Metal 1's Ultimates Virgins are already below retail cost, 4 is getting close, and 5 no doubt will as well. Just wait a bit and I'm sure this one will be too.

And just when I think Aspen can't sink any lower, they wind up proving me wrong yet again. During thier recent 60% off sale, they didn't allow people to cash in reward points and use the gift cards from those reward points. This is the first time Aspen has even taken this route. I have just enough reward points to get one final $25 gift card that I have been sitting on for like 3 years. As soon as I heard everything on the site was going to be 60% off, I was planning on finally using those reward points so I could purchase one of the Supergirl sets since they were only going to be around $35 during the sale. That means I could have gotten the set I wanted (the one with the german variant cover where Supergirl has Superman's cape draped around her) for just $16-$17 shipped, but when I went to the rewards page, the option to cash them in was no longer available and through a comment on Facebook, I learned this was purposely done during the 60% off sale. Had I known they were going to do this, I would have simply cashed in my reward points before the sale started.

Please, you were rude to them on Facebook, not to mention the bolded comment is not even close to what they said. When I asked them, they were happy to retroactively refund me the $25 if I made a purchase that day.

They even extended the sale another 18 hours to as an apology for anyone who couldn't purchase it.

Aspen does have a big problem of trying to continue to capitalize on Turner's legacy. I'd agree there. They really need to move on and try to make more original content.

Not a bad haul. Looks like 3 "C" variants? Also, how were the grades?

I suspect in the coming days will be a really good time to get some Campbell variants for cheap.

How many of y'all are ordering a Mystery Box? I've never ordered anything from his site, but at a little over $10 a book, it's hard to go wrong...............right? I assume most of what you'll get is the variants he has on sale at $15, but the 25 book box should have SOMETHING worth a flip (you can take that either way) in it. I may take a flyer on one of the 25 packs, keep what I want and see if I can move the others for at least $15 at one of the many cons I do. 

Thoughts?

I would agree it's likely just the junk he can't sell on his website going into the boxes. Keep in mind it may also be stuff like Midtown exclusive copies that retail for $5-6.

Seriously, how bad does Marvel's QC have to be to let that slip on thousands of comics?

I'll wait for the inevitable convention exclusive edition with all 8 on one cover.

You can leave negative feedback. I've had stuff like this happen, and it was possible. With only two feedback, it'll basically kill that account's credibility at least.

Wow, I can't imagine how long that took you. Can't wait to check it out!

I have the entire dark horse star wars run, and those stories are easily in my top 5. I'm so stoked.
