I surprised the one with Cassian Andor and K2-SO hasn't sold out considering there's an Andor series coming our. Can see these rising once the series airs.

Can see this staying quite high. Spoiler if you haven't seen this week's Fett.

This is getting cleaned up off eBay now

Jeez. Wonder what my Stan Lee SS would fetch?

I wasn't talking about them closing. The guy I replied to said about making books hard to get from the get go, When I replied I didn't mean inflation of the price of the book. I meant more the reputation and rarity of the books. Basically making a hot book from day one without it happening organically in the market. I can see how price would play into that but that's not what I was getting at initially.

I agree. It was a stunt to artificially inflate the books so it was always gonna need to change somewhere down the line. Just a shame they've packed it in instead of changing the model.

Cancellation of her CW show might also be making buyers nervous and seeing what DC do with her before they decide if they want to take a punt.

Gotta say, I'm kinda sad about that. Eniac and Tankers were good reads.

If anything it's made it easier for me to buy stuff now. I just whack it on the Amex and rack up the Avios points and get that BA companion voucher a lot quicker. I don't mind the new eBay setup. Fees even out when you consider it was a listing fee and paypal before. I just rue the removal of £1 final value fees.

Thanks for that. It's fine on my computer, I even duplicated it and rotated it and they both come out upside down. Glad you could sort that out for me.

Brought these for $900 combined from eBay. Also, I have no idea why I can't get the picture to be the right way round

Am I missing something but this isn't a Newsstand is it? https://www.ebay.com/itm/AMAZING-SPIDER-MAN-300-CGC-9-6-ORIGIN-1ST-VENOM-WHITE-PAGES-NEWSSTAND-EDITION/144012163791?hash=item2187cb3acf:g:q74AAOSwNMhge1F0

What was the period of time from first grade to re-submitting? Just wondering if the encapsulation would have inadvertently 'pressed' the book over time especially if it's a tight slab.

That's pretty bad. Off White and spine ticks. This guy would be lucky to get a 9.0 out of that.

That's awesome. Getting a 9.9 on a foil and black cover is pretty difficult. I remember when I got my first 9.9 in Nov 2019 for this. I was ecstatic.

All cheap copies have been brought up and 10 sold since yesterday. It's moving. (and yes, I did quote myself)

Anyone think Captain America #333 might go up after Falcon and The Winter Solider. Got one in a box somewhere so hoping that gets some love.

Forbidden Planet Online is your friend.

As rubbish as this sounds, it's one of those books that can go either way. It's got first appearances in and all it takes is for one of these characters to be used in TV or film and it'll rocket. Look at Strange Academy. People slept on that and it went nuts. Even New Agents of Atlas is going up based on rumors. I'm gonna pick up two copies of the trade cover and worst case I give them away as freebies to eBay buyers or they rise and I make a profit. It's a £6 punt so it wont hurt to bad if it flops. As with everything in this game, it's all a gamble unless you buy what you love.

I think this will just go higher once the Venom movie comes out. Not because I think it'll be a good film (I hope so) but I there'll be people out there who will be hunting the Venom first appearance once he becomes fresh in their minds again.

Glad it's not just me. Thought I'd lost my touch at self-grading.

This post made me impulse buy that Uncanny X-men #4.

This was on fire when it was optioned and taken up by Quibi. Since that service folded I don't know what's happening with this anymore. W. Maxwell Prince (the writer) said in Jan that the TV show is still happening but it hasn't been taken up by anyone else though. That aside this is just a great book all round.

Warren Buffet trying to be Thanos by tracking down all the keys in 9.8

My only gripe with artists doing multiple covers with slight variations is that they should release them all at once so people can pick which to buy from day one. I also realise that may have absolutely no say in that.
