    13 lenticular was up a bit ago.  But I thought the same thing recently, its dirt cheap now.  Kind of silly to me.

    Personally, I like the Thanos #13 lenticular. I will pick them up if I see them for $5 or $6 bucks. I had to pretty much give my CGC 9.6 copy away. Cost $35 to grade, I sold it for $25 shipped. It's still a first print first appearance. I might as well have kept it.:tonofbricks:

    Will the lenticular variant of Thanos 13 ever gain value?  I’m surprised everything else has exploded while this just a sits as a $6 book.

    The Marvel lenticulars as a whole sold poorly. Retailers were pretty miffed with the way Diamond handled the solicitations for them. Also the quality of the lenticular covers were not that great. You're right about the $6 but Thanos #13 raws might sell for $20-$30 on a good day. The 9.8's maybe $50-$60. You never know though. If someone invokes Donny Cates name enough they may take off..lol

    So the new batman legends robin king 1 in 25 variant is selling over $200 or more for a preorder?  Now i believe in capitalism and you being able to sell whatever you want for whatever some one is willing to pay, but this book isnt even out yet.  So i assume all these over priced preorder sales are from comic shop owners.  I just dont get how you can sell an item for that amount when im sure DC has a maybe $10 amount listed for the variant.  So how are presales already that high of an asking price?

    Because comic retail operates in a unregulated market. There is no governing body to step in and say, no that's too much or no seller, you have to stick to a set price. Prices settle at whatever the market will bear. Most shops price their ratio variants at Ebay prices. So where a 1:25 would typically retail at $25 now it's priced at whatever its selling for on ebay. One shop I go to doesn't play the Ebay game. He uses ratio variants to reward his customers. I was given a Batman #94 1:25 at no cost and a Negan silver variant for cover price. It just depends on the retailer and their culture.

    It was also in a bunch of other titles that month. I saw someone say that those didn't count as a first appearance as it was a preview/pre-print. (I think people are just making up these terms now) To me, those 9 pages of the first issue preview counts as their first appearance. Most won't agree saying its not like FOOM or Marvel Age, or....It only maters when people want it to matter. ( because they own 10 copies) Thor 2 however fires on all cylinders. The preview was also part of the second and third print for Thor. Will those be like the other later print hysteria that's currently gripping the collecting world?

     

     

    Yeah, Daredevil #17 also contained the Strange Academy preview. It sells for slightly above cover.

    Doh.  Lol.  I checked the inside cover and couldn’t find anything that said second printing.   Too good to be true I guess.  Lol. Still look cool and if Gold Lantern gets big for some reason I may be able to get my money back at least.   Thanks for the info.

    Still a good buy. Modern collectors have started respecting later prints for the simple fact that they are under-ordered. Smaller print runs make them just as desirable as first printings if not more to certain collectors. I was just making sure you were aware of the different printing variations.

    The problem is, I can’t tell if this reply is a joke or not. 

    I didn’t think dinos were very metal; where are the head-banging zombies and women writhing on top of Trans Ams?

    Kind of a joke but not. In Death Metal #1 there is a Multiverse version of Batman as a T-Rex dinosaur whose name is "B-Rex". He talks and wears a cowl.o.O

    These were still on the rack at the local shop and I thought there are worse ways to spend sixteen bucks.   Probably just going to put them away for a while.  Maybe Gold Lantern will get big or maybe not, but this will always be the first appearance (unless they appeared in some obscure trade mag or some odd back issue that will be discovered further down the road. Lol)

    Those are second printings. Not sure if that matters to you or not. First prints have the last five numbers of the UPC ending in 00611. In today's market it also might not matter which printing it is.
