The Less Blob

Bursting means something else. It doesn't mean something didn't meet a recent all time high. This is the problem with this market, people assume a high will be matched or met by another high. And anyway, All the wolverine folks are putting their money into MCP 1 and 72.

When we were flying more the fees on my wife's amex black were easily paid for via the perks she got on delta

Please be quiet. I have a lot of comics in need to sell.

No. Taxes are on your profit. So, yes, maybe 28% on everything net of fees if you fished your $1000 book out of the 65 cent box (like my NYX 3 and LOS 23 variant). Although Shadroch would be able to come up with $788 worth of legit other deductions, so you'd only be paying taxes on about $60.

Need to sell 8 MCP 72s tonight to pay for that...

Take

79 is selling for what 72 sold for a few weeks ago, it is one of those books in the run that sells, but 73 - 78 and 80+ are much more hit or miss. i am tempted to sell some sets as they are now doing better enough than 72 + 79 sell solo to justify it. i don't want to sell all my 72 and 79s and be stuck with the rest, although they all have pretty sweet covers and their own potentia to pop

not of those, i need to check i guess, but those I bought all from the same guy, so i doubt it.

Unfortunately, when it comes to MCP, it seems maybe 5 or so issues of the whole run regularly sell for more than $5-7 each, and those are considered "dollar books" here. I put regularly in bold because I see sales of the other Weapon X issues that make no sense ... one copy selling for $20-30+ right next to a $3 sale in the same condition. Makes me go hmmmm Not just the occasional Divad sale. It does seem a bunch of people are listing the other BWS at sky high prices and hoping, while they're still selling elsewhere for $10 and less.

My copies of #2 are definitely 9.8s (says every seller on facebook...)

5 more!

yeah, i contemplated getting my membership and putting together a chunky submission, but would up working until 5:30 a.m; four days in a row on my real job and had meetings all day, so that didn't happen. oh well.

St the time I could have flipped them on ebay for $6-9,each or so, I thought they needed more aging

Didn't hurt the first old man Logan

outside #1 maybe all the others are dirt cheap.

whenever I went to NYCC last (4 years ago?) I got about 10 from a dollar box guy who I think sold me a packed shortbox for $100 or something, so less than $1. i could not believe they were still there on the last day of a 4 day show. shows how dead the book was.

Sold my MCP 72 last night. yay! I have 2 handy, but I am almost sure I have 5-8 more somewhere mixed up in my "misc marvel" boxes before I decided MCP should get its own box. If only the Kieth issues would pick up. I could retire.

Ahhh, a sell box I put together 5 years ago and was too lazy to sell any of it. Yay!

I don't want to think about the mistakes anymore. Too many regrets. Depressing.

is it difficult or has nobody bothered? i know, it is black and 33 years old, so probably hard, but not logically any harder than #1

It is typically a sub $10 book raw (and probably $3 last December or whenever the current round of slab candidates were sent in), not exactly a book the screams "slab me"

it is interesting, the owl was like a 4th rate kingpin, but a few years before kingpin. maybe kingpin was a 1st rate owl? didn't they do some lame version of the owl in Defenders?

hmm 365 was maybe a $15 book a few weeks ago, now a ton sold for $25-30. interesting.

how many of those ever got slabbed? was there a real reason to before a week ago? this was a $5-$10 book in january.

It just so happens my local supermarket had a tremendous sale on TP in February and I loaded up big time. We still had plenty in October.
