  1. X-O Manowar Gold, Maxx Gold and SW: Boba Fett Gold bring in some good money
  2. If you know where to look, you can find reasonable prices. And yes, I know how to grade.
  3. Not everyone knows how to grade a comic or wants to submit a book to get graded
  4. Why would you buy a 9.8 when you can find one raw (if you know what to look for) and submit it to cgc for far less ?
  5. If people cared about this book, they had 20 years to buy it. Right now, its all a "pump and dump"
  6. WRONG. Here's what Cates said: "When I was a little kid, my mom used to drop me off at the YMCA to be babysat while she was at work,” Cates tells ComicBook.com. “So naturally I would just sneak away down to the comic book store across the street. The store was called JT's comics in Garland, Texas, and it was there I first met Venom. And it was ALSO there that I read the scariest comic book I'd ever read. It was called Carnage: Mind Bomb (written by Warren Ellis with art by the incomparable Kyle Hotz!) and boy, oh boy, if you haven't read it, make sure you get thee to a comic book store and check it out. But read it with the lights on, because it will mess you up, man. It is brutal. And insane. And brilliant. It was there that the character of Carnage bloomed for me as a fan. He's been my favorite bad guy ever since, and to be able to write him is such a huge treat." https://comicbook.com/marvel/2018/08/15/web-of-venom-carnage-born/ Mind Bomb has NO significance, spec-wise. People buying it up for ridiculous prices are only hurting themselves.
  7. Lots of old guys here. Seems you all are grumpy because the new generation is pushing you out. Nobody listens to your logic anymore
  8. If you guys take your head out of your butt, a lot of people do care about preview books. Just because you hate them doesn't make them any less relevant. You aren't the authority of what counts as a 1st appearance.
  9. the preview book came first = 1st appearance I think we all need to change our attitude on preview books. It seems most people hit a brick wall on them and refuse to acknowledge their significance.
  10. http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/All-New,_All-Different_Marvel_Universe_Vol_1_1 That came out 5 months after the Point One issue
  11. Disposing of 600+ books ? Yeah, ok....
  12. http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/Vox_(Earth-616) Death of the Inhumans feature a character called Vox. Not sure if it's the same guy.
  13. After seeing that NM98, I wouldnt even bothered grading it
  14. Walmart exclusive reprint. Came out a few years ago. Easy way to dump old stock and gain new readers.
  15. It's all about the wave. Got to know when to sell and when to buy
