Some comic show pick ups

Found these late at a comic show in the 50 cent boxes 

Found this at an estate sale last month. It’s a keeper

Respectfully, rare variants are the keys of the modern era.

It is the next stage in the evolution of the hobby.

Ironically some keys have variant covers lol.

As I said earlier, if you have something truly desirable, you have a chance. However, it must be Batman, Spider-Man or Wolverine.

Other characters (eg. Catwoman, Supergirl) simply don't have the staying power.

All key issues dip but then come back again higher in the future

I own the cover art to the X-Men Pizza Hut issue #2.

 

I always liked that 90s gatefold cover!

I just saw this on CBR. Man, this is like the third guy in his 60s to pass away this week. His impact on Batman is immeasurable. His Batman was always calculated and smooth under pressure

We're all feeling it. I have a filing cabinet drawer full of rare variants I'm sitting on as now is not the right time.

Buyers market and a great time to get deals from desperate sellers

I don't think it will be as bad as all that. Yes, we are undergoing a period of readjustment, but we've just been through a global event. 

Barring the outbreak of war, I think consumer confidence will be restored sooner rather than later. I do think some sellers may need to be more realistic about prices, but that will happen organically.

I don’t know when or what it will take. I remember when I had 10 sales in a day now I’m struggling to sell 10 items a week lol.

eBay just enabled 24 photos capacity for listings 😱 GAME CHANGER Lol!

I'm a huge sucker for reeeaaally obscure modern promotional books. Pretty excited to finally add this one to the collection:

Most copies were distributed via a series of 2012 Nestle promotional events where the Quik Bunny appeared (in costumed mascot form) at various Walmarts to promote the namesake product and hand out copies of this book.

Zero clue how many of these were handed out, but it's by a large margin the rarest of the three Quik Bunny titles (the other two are 1984's Adventures of Quik Bunny in partnership with Marvel, and the exceedingly common 1987 Superman Meets the Quik Bunny obviously also from DC).

What’s the value?

I'll confess that I never really followed the Digital Webbing stuff. Are they still around? Regardless, that 2004 Hack/Slash is a fantastic find, and absolutely a "book you just can't find in the wild."

These are the issues you want for Digital Webbing Presents 1, 2, 5, 21, 24. … I think they’re lost to history but very htf. First time finding and owning either 

$2 buys from a closed comic shop’s donation to a library. I came 30 mins late due to multiple traffic accident delays. One guy showed me his Deadpool 1, 11, Batman Hush, MOTU 1 variants, Daredevil 9-11, Crisis on Infinite Earths 1-12 haul

I was wondering about that X-force #125, I have a copy, but wasn't sure if it is a sell raw/slab kind of deal?

I guess you believed it worth it though  Also a store had maybe #18 of the force, but I past on it too much that it is now lower grade. I'm not sure what to do with "late X-force?"

I’m holding onto all X-Men 1st apps until they appear in the MCU

Finds from a library comic sale. Nice conditions too!

I'm not sure this is the case anymore.  The last few trailers have had minimal affect. Everyone is onto this scheme and so many copies hit the market after the trailer that over-saturation sets in. 

The jig is up, the news is out, they finally found me.....

Sell on the rumor, announcement, or wait and get lucky if the released product is amazing

I antiquated flea markets with the boards antiquity thread  I meant to call to that thread, and thought "flea markets" would be a general enough phrase for call back haha

Indeed that price is  makes me wonder what was paid by the guy who brought it in  Still something that may eventually been run across, guy got it at an "estate sale", which can always be hit or miss with how "professional" it is done....

If I don’t know what it is I usually research it and then be prepared for the next time I come across it again in the wild

I paid 250 so hopefully I didnt overpay. Hard to compare prices since there are so many different types lol. Thanks for the info!

I wouldn’t have paid that but I think that’s a good price compared to what I’ve recently seen them at estate sales for. A similar spinner rack was priced at around $550-650.

I just bought this from my local thrift mall. What do you guys think the age is? My heart nearly dropped when I saw it. I pick it up tomorrow. It doesn't spin, it's just a standing rack.

That’s a much older nice rustier looking spinner rack than the one I picked up recently. It’s nice the Fawcett branding is still intact. I’d say it’s 50-60s mid century. I mean that’s back when Fawcett was popular enough to get their name on a display right. Could be earlier. The spinner rack I bought recently took up unnecessary space so I sold it today in person for $150. Hope this helps!
