I like Booster. I was just re-reading DC's 52, and I like what they did with Booster in that run.

Booster Gold is a fan favorite. I like that mid/late 2000s series. Dan Jurgens Art!

Who will really care about Booster Gold #1 pre movie/streaming appearance? 

It’s more of a copper than a modern.. let’s get this thread back onto modern drek that becomes $20+ overnight

Picked up a lot of stuff in the past week or two - some from the boards (thanks @nicka!), but most from some nice deals on eBay or at LCS's:

Those are all solid investment pick ups with lots of potential upside. What’s the story on the Innovation Nightmares on Elm Street? That’s an expensive series set

I think it may have something to do with the cover???

that's been a desirable cover for years

Here are the recent sales for NM 98 - as I mentioned, it's right around $1,500 on average for a 9.8 copy, of which there are 4,000+ on the census:

There are 34 listings for Batman 655 in a 9.8 on eBay - some of those are for the variant, some are for lots, etc. That book has been selling 2-3 copies a day since the news came out, hovering around the $340-350 mark. 2 weeks ago you could get a copy for $130 if you were patient. So it's already more than doubled, and that's just on the news of a movie.

There are 108 listings for NM 98 in a 9.8 - some of those are for the facsimile, some are for lots. Here's an auction with 24 bids, currently at $1,325 with a day and a half left to go: https://www.ebay.com/itm/403958415665

Here's another with 18 bids, currently at $1,125 with 6 and a half days left: https://www.ebay.com/itm/155390251003

Census count has next to nothing to do with it.

Demand is outweighing supply currently 

I’ve been after the color version of that Turner variant since the Wednesday it released. Should have bought it then

How modest

Based on the size in your hand I'll guess it's a Book Club edition (but I can't remember off the top of my head if this was a smaller hardcover - or if I just can't judge perspective). If it's a true 1st edition, you'll find "First Edition" printed on the copyright page, and on page 374, you'll find a printed code: Y38

Edited to add: it should also have a $15.95 price on the dust jacket.

374 being the Epilogue has Y4- (can’t make out the rest). I do see $15.95 cover price. Just not the “First Edition” on the copyright page

Found this at a library book sale for a $1. Not sure if it’s a true 1983 1st print

Criminal 1 (optioned) is one to sell now also along with Supergirl Woman of Tomorrow 1 and Tomb Raider/Witchblade 1

Considering part one is called "Gods and Monsters" .. Sups and Girls being Gods.. I'd bet on JL Dark to form from ST movie.. not enough monsters aside from Creatures

Yea, it was in development and then died. There was big lull in there where I sold as well.

Yeah, it depends how many years you are willing to wait to see a nice ROI lol... I think Damian Wayne's 1st can easily be a $200 comic raw.. now is the time to hoard copies

It's good to see Batman books finally selling. I think the ebay back issues market for once in over a year is good again

Last of Us #1 1st Print is a $500 book currently.

I sold a variant CGC 9.6 of this that I bought already slabbed for $12 for $160 back in 2017 and a set for $80 also with the variant

Once a bonafide dollar book, The Authority #1 is now a $100+ plus wall book

wish I had one to sell lol.

I just randomly came across that in my travels, I'd never seen it before - I was curious to what is driving that up.

CC show

Batman and Robin 1 2009 & Creature Commandos 1 2000 also heating/blowing up

That's the thing, $300 has sailed.  Now they're being listed for $400 & $500, and I don't want to buy the hype.  I'd buy the next $300 I saw in a heartbeat. (Yes, I'm aware $300 is also buying the hype lol).

Your best bet then is not buying on eBay and going to a shop or elsewhere that hasn’t updated their prices

As soon as I saw the announcement, I ran to the 'Bay to see if there were any deals on Batman 655 in 9.8.  Not a book I track, I noticed they sold recently for $160-$200, so note to self, target around $200.  Others were listed BIN for $300, but they're dreaming.  So I thought.  I checked back later tonight, and the $300's all sold, and now someone's listed a BIN for $500.  Now I'm having FOMO about not getting the $300 ones, but hoping maybe they overpaid on spec hype (only because I didn't get one).

I’d just buy the $300 now. Cut your loses. It was severely undervalued to begin with and had no media hype. It will only go up, the variant and newsie are ones to target

Almost forgot about #37. 

Switching gears, the moment I saw Damian Wayne announced other than Bat 655 I knew 666 and Son of the Demon would sell... sure enough they are lol.

I wish (and try) although sometimes it’s fun running into a forgotten IH 181 or FF 48. 

you're so modest
