There are very few hot books posted on here.
You aren't going to find a raw Hulk 181 in 9.8 for a reasonable price. Then you are also taking a chance on submitting that it comes back a 9.8. At the beginning of the year a 9.6 was around $8k. So you are taking a huge chance on buying a raw for $8k and it coming back a 9.6.
Ever graded a book before?
If you know where to look, you can find reasonable prices.
And yes, I know how to grade.

No one who owns a raw Hulk #181 9.8 is going to sell it raw.
Why would you buy a Van Gogh painting from an auction when you can just get one at a garage sale?
Not everyone knows how to grade a comic or wants to submit a book to get graded

That could be said about any back issue that increases in value.
If people cared about Hulk 181 in 9.8 they could have bought it 5 years ago for less than half what it sells for now.
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 ?

Donny Cates is writing a Carnage book that he said will have ramifications for years to come. Apparently it's tied into this book.
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."

Mind Bomb has NO significance, spec-wise. People buying it up for ridiculous prices are only hurting themselves.

This guy talks about variants and has a 100 top variant list too. He has ASM 667 as #1 and Siege 3 as number #2.

and people praise it as such a great article

Lots of old guys here. Seems you all are grumpy because the new generation is pushing you out. Nobody listens to your logic anymore
-
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.
-
It's a poster book. Only worth a $1. You got robbed !!

Preview means pre... view... seeing something BEFORE it's official. You're suggesting we all stop celebrating our birthday and start celebrating the anniversary of our first ultrasound.
you're trying to compare apples to oranges
-
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.

So, I've seen this around here and there and own one somewhere (never opened it, but I know I have one somewhere)... was this a preview/promo or something of the like?

I'm late to the party but for me Dark Days: The Casting #1 is the 1st appearance as a cameo of BWL. DNM#1 would be another cameo and TT#12 is the 1st full appearance.
DNM #2 is the first full 1st appearance

Disposing of 600+ books ?

Black Panther was not good. Just hype.

Death of the Inhumans feature a character called Vox. Not sure if it's the same guy.

Was just at my local Walmart, looking for these. They had one copy of the Batman issue left, which I grabbed, and nothing else.
I also snagged a 3-pack with this, which is labeled "Wal-mart Edition" in the indicia. Anybody know anything about it?
Walmart exclusive reprint. Came out a few years ago. Easy way to dump old stock and gain new readers.

Not even new artwork. Another reprint

It appears the ASM 4 train is running out of gas already. I see nice copies of the regular cover going for $40 - $50 now. Lasted about a week which seems about right for modern surges and drops.
It's all about the wave. Got to know when to sell and when to buy

dont do it, this book is gonna have a huge print run, just buy it off midtown for 20 when they post it. besides massive print run is gonna push the spec to TTS1
TTS1 will always be a cameo or preview.
Is there any love for the WIZARD 1/2 issues?
