Any info on who will have these? They're supposedly store variant covers for The Return of Wolverine #1 & #2, but I can't find anything on them yet. I know they're recycled art, but in this case, I really don't care.

Thank you all for the input, 9.0 is a little below where I want this book (for the price), I didn't know those type of defects would drop the grade almost a full point! Good to know.

The search continues!

It looks pretty sharp to me, but I just don't know what the light scratches and scuffing on the back cover does to the grade. Could this qualify as a 9.6-9.8? Thanks in advance!

My personal belief is that they were only included in the first batches of the bluray and dvd that had the sticker on the front ONLY. 

Very good, thank you! Still a unicorn, but something else to watch for at a reasonable price.

For anybody still trying to get a real legitimate copy of The Good Morty they are still out there. Recently got this on ebay for only $12.99. Original bluray release sealed with original sticker advertising the comic inside. Clearly the seller didnt know what he had but for those looking to get one and dont wanna get stuck with a fake, they are still out there!

Do you know if The Good Morty came in all S1 BluRays or only ones labeled like yours with "Comic Book Inside!"

This is untrue pricing will be similar the virgin will be $40 down to the color trade which will be around $20. Just like always.

virgin will be limited to 1k

color trade 3k

Thank you for the clarification, even at +/- $10 I still consider that reasonable in this case. I'm in!

Im sure the price will be decided after the weekend based on the number of excited posts. 

I know you're right, but I wish they'd stick to a set pricing tier. Or at least have 2 preset tiers that never change (low end and high end) instead of ebbing and flowing with the buzz. My fingers are crossed for reasonable pricing!

With a Morbius movie supposedly in the works at Sony, I wonder if there will be any movement on the Dell'Otto cover of Morbius The Living Vampire #1? Anyone know the print run on it? Doesn't seem too tough to find on ebay though with that dark cover, 9.8 might not be super easy to get. Would be great as a CGC 9.8 SS.

The newsstand and second print will have lower runs if you happen to see any, may not be a bad cheap grab. I've only seen a few newsstands period, let alone in NM+

The original artwork to Dell'Otto's ASM #667 cover, in Vincent Zurzolo's collection, can be viewed here:

Hope you all enjoy it, along with the other stunning OA!

I mean....wow. Where do you even start?! Has anyone attempted to value this collection??

Edit: All I could find.

"With the goal of becoming the biggest comic book dealer in the world, Zurzolo set out against dealers with more cash, inventory and connections. In 1999, realizing he couldn't beat Fishler, Zurzolo joined him. Metropolis now owns a collection valued in the tens of millions of dollars, although Zurzolo won't name a specific number. "

Gotcha thanks, and we're guessing 10k on the 1 pers?

The golds were a wildcats 1 retailer incentive. Get 1 gold cover per xxx number of books ordered. The signed version was 1 per xxx books ordered also but a higher order amount was required to get that one. Don't remember the allocation amount on either

Nobody said they were 

Maybe I misunderstood Willy's post? 

How is it simultaneously one per store and order X amount to qualify? 

Bummer 

That bad eh?

The books looks really clean, with the exception of this large color breaking crease. Any ideas what this would be?

"wonder if he just did pencils and someone else’s inked and someoelse colored?"

Good question, definitely has a straight forward vibe,  maybe it's just because I know him to have a pretty much 100%  heavy oil painted look to his work. Even if he just penciled it seems...different. In a good way. I'd like to see more "traditional" work from him honestly.

It reminds me of something, maybe the long slicked back horns? Does anyone else draw them that way? The bone claws make it stand out too for sure, and the color scheme makes it look older than it is. I can't put my finger on it.

Here's a little something different to hunt. 

Wolverine #33 - German Edition 

Cover Date: April 2000

I've never seen this book or this style before, and thought it was very interesting in contrast to his other works. I can't find ANYTHING on this book as far as print run, value or any mention at all really. I'd love to have this one!

Thoughts?

Well yea, but TAH 22 wasn't nearly as in your face, it's way muted in comparison. It's a fine cover but maybe overkill? "Recalls" to two months ago...we are all very aware of the greeness of all that is Hulk. 

Side note, unless i'm missing something, doesn't that tube seem pretty small on the Dell'Otto cover?

I don't care how much you like green, this is too much. I did a quick lazy thing to prove a point, imagine if someone who knew what they were doing took 10 minutes to tone it out.

That being said, I love the artwork, as usual.

Personally I think it's such a freaking cool mash up i'll be holding these, and will have zero regrets if it "tanks" because i'd be happy to have them in my PC. It's all preference of course, and i'm sure we're in for a landslide of mashup characters now, so who knows. You will also always have purists, old school guys and modern haters saying to buy the safer silver/bronze keys instead, which is never bad advice long term. But those books have settled for the most part with their arcs done and stories told. At least with Weapon H we have unknown direction, and fresh new content TBD. 

Modern keys are so volatile, the ROI is so high and risk so low, you'd be crazy not to hold one or two if you have multiples. What if it's a consistent $500 9.8 in a year or two? Would your $30 raw profit today be worth it then? If it settles to a $100 9.8 (doubtful) then you still profit ~$60, assuming you're in at cover price, it's literally a win/win. People mess up by comparing this character to that character (spidergwen), when really WHO KNOWS?! Market trends are not  black and white by any means, and there are always stand out exceptions to every rule. I think $35-40 isn't a terrible buy in either, maybe wait for a deal but I'm not sure NM+ raw copies will drop much if at all in the foreseeable future, worst case you lose what, $10-15 on your purchase? Best case you make hundreds and hundreds if not thousands. Don't bank too hard on it if you're just getting in but, I sure have a copy socked back.

I would put the Batman who laughs in this same boat.

Just my 2 cents...

HOLD!

Looks like 5.0 to me. Hard to tell how bad that staple is through pictures but that's my best guess.

Thanks everyone.

The staple is bad, just tight enough to not wiggle out.

I really don't know much about books that fall under an 8.0, my completely uneducated guess is a 4.5-5.0 

The bottom staple is loose but not detached.

Please give me your best guess as to a fair monetary value, or approximate grade. 

I am trying to buy the book, but I do not know how hard the loose staple hits the grade. I have a pretty good eye for VF or better, but lower grades are beyond me.

Thanks in advance!

x1 9.8 Blue Label please

Changed to:

x1 9.8 SS
