    The Great Collectibles Bubble: Waiting To Pop?

    Sounds like you have a good thing comics or not. I was only commenting on the state of higher education now and its cost. At least here in the US, it's kinda sorta dismal. We spend a lot for not very much. I have to imagine European schools and education MUST be superior. So, my stance toward selling my books to put my kids through college with the proceeds is justified only by my demographics. I applaud you and am happy for your good thing.

    The high cost is do to stupid fools that belive you can only get a top notch education at a school that cost 40k a year.  Thats total BS.  I am a proud graduate with a chemistry degree from the state university of ny at storybook.  WITH room and board it was 10k a year.  Even now it's only about 15k a year.  Now who wants to tell me that chemistry is different at Harvard or NYU vs state school!  I plan on telling my girls if they want to go to a 50k a year school's vs state school then they better find a way to pay for it because it's a waste of money.  Just my .02

    Hell yes. I respect the love you have for your girls but man. College these days seems like a scam as well. Student debt. Dumbing down curriculum. Man. I don't think I would be able to sell my books that I felt may not have a return. College is dicey now.

    When they are done with college is when I officially stop working and retire.  I have a home on and island in greece and a home in pune India.  I plan on splitting up my time between those 2 places and where my girls are so I need to be mobile.  My comics will serve a purpose but in the end u can't take them with you...  got to enjoy life.

    I remember reading the comic shops that got these variants had the option to submit it for signature series grading but it was not required. CGC will not be offering the ss label unless the comic shop selected the grading option tho

    Interesting that a shop would willingly decline a cgc grade

    looking at the ebay listing for the 1:1000 variant, three of them are being sold without a CGC grade.  I know boom set up this signing with cgc that after the signing they would go directly for grading and then shipped back to the shops.  This was done at the publishers office so the shops only touch them once they are graded.  I am going to assume these are cracked copies being sold as raw.  There is one that looks like in bad shape for a new print, I am going to assume that's the 9.2 on the registry as the 9.4 has its own listing. the other 2 I will assume they were 9.6's because no one in there right mind will crack a 9.8.  So I am going to assume that according to the registry and what is listed on ebay that there are only 3 9.6's left with the rest being 9.8's.

    I want to assume this because i haven't received my copy yet and i was dreading the possibility of a not getting a 9.8  :shy:

    People are Buying anything, and I mean ANYTHING!
    I had someone buy all my over priced Star Wars 8's...
    When I bought them, I thought that someone might make a run at these because of the cute first app...
    But they cleaned me OUT of none-the-less JAXXON the green rabbit!
    I feel like this is a Twilight Zone episode where Spawn 1's will command 10k in 9.8.

    O.o

    I hope so... I have my spawn 1 signed by todd AND George Perez!!!

    You are and have made a ton of tooooooonnnnnn of assumptions that you are espousing as fact.  
     

    I understand the enthusiasm, but there’s a lot of variables out there...

    I am repeating the facts that were presented to me by people more knowledgeable about the situation than me.  If i am wrong....  THEN PROVE IT....  otherwise save YOUR assumptions. (thumbsu

    So ru saying the 1:1000 cannot b purchased right now on ebay or that all the 1:1000 made are only sold with the sigs?

    The ones on ebay are being sold by shops that ordered the 1000 copies just like my shop did to get the variant.  So u can buy it on ebay but publisher is not making more.. And yes the 1:1000 variant is signed only.  No selling blank.

    Here is something I just realized.   Because the publisher teamed up with cgc for the 1:1000 signing, the CGC registry will have an accurate total of how many copies exist since it went from publisher to signing to cgc directly.

    Right now, but it's only rare until he does more signings as I'm positive he will.  Especially if a movie comes out.  He will definitely do appearances and signings to promote it and I doubt it'll cost 1k.  I'll have my rarer brzrkr books prepped and ready.  

    The 1:1000 variant was only available during the pre order period.  U can't get one after the fact to get signed.  It won't exist

    That's not how 1:1000 works though is it?  I thought that meant that a retailer had to buy 1000 copies to get 1 copy of the 1:1000 variant.  If every retailer in the country were to buy 999 copies, then theoretically, no 1:1000 would be sold.  I'm also led to believe that the printer may print a certain number of copies and that stock of ratio variants could find other ways into the marketplace.  All his is to say that even if 620,000 copies of the book sold, that shouldn't equate to 620 copies of the 1:1000.

    For every 1000 copies u get 1 1:1000  2  1:500  5 1:200. Etc. They are like 15 variant covers.   Not to mention there is a rumor that Keanu will not sign any of the 1st issues outside of the initial insetive to help make the 1:1000 unique.  Again just a rumor I heard. Dont quote me on it.

    1st issue sold about 620000 copies.  Which means there are only 620 copies of the signed cover 1:1000....  rarity has value my friend...  :baiting:   don't hate the player...  hate the game.  (thumbsu

    Just look at anything NOT Marvel movie related....not everything gets a movie bump

     

    And your previous statement about GSX 1 comparing it to this is ridiculous. That's XMEN and they're coming to the MCU

    Dude take it easy.  For you it may be asinine to spend 2k on a chance, but for some its no different then buying stock!!!! And an FYI the average sell price on EBAY for BRZKR keanu sig copy went for about 3K, so OP and me are already ahead of the game, for now...  Just because you wouldn't do it for whatever reason as well as the fact that for some 2k is not a big chance, doesnt make it right for you to step on someone's neck. (asinine, ridiculous)  Also I used GSXM 1 as a comparison about taking a chance, i know it depends on how any movie does.  Just look at blood shot!!!!  rai 0 was worth MORE before the movie.  The movie sucked....  And don't tell me u knew that a GSXM 1 at 9.6 was going to hit 40K when last year is was about 5 or 6k at the most!!! And I took a chance at the price of 3800.   And if the BRSKR movie is a Keanu hit, then what???  Will you tolerate me chasing you all over the boards saying I told you so????
