Thats I can't even sell my NM copies in the sales thread maybe time to move it to feebay Along with ASM 300, this is another of the very few books I speculated on. My ship may have finally come in on this one too. You've been ripping on copper books for 12 years. Nice to see you come over to the dark side. I don't rip on Copper books, just Moderns. IMO, anything after 1990-91 isn't a comic book anymore, but an overpriced mini-TPB. Fair enough. Although I'd say 1993 and beyond.

And this kind of.

What's a mullet? THE mullet.

I sold a second print 9.8 for 200+ within a couple of hours. Crazy hot.

I believe there will be a premium as more and more people come to the same realization as the people on the boards already have.

I picture the wrap becoming a focal point on first printing 9.8's selling for a premium. More often then not, they biffed the wrapage.

Nope. Not enthusiastic enough.

Oh, please enlighten me on how to sell on eBay. Peace, Chip It didn't say "HOT HOT HOT" You forgot "CGC it!"

You buy and sell a lot Fingh, what level of fool are you? I don't buy Copper. I have Copper. I have been buying Copper since I was in the Copper age myself. The only time I buy Copper and moderns is when I can get it for uber cheap. I have never paid more than a dollar for an X-Factor 6, and I never will. Same with ToTT44, right down the line. Plus, I spend most of my time creating manufactured collectibles that give Dunbar a thrombo. But I am definitely a fool. Just not a fool who pays for Copper books. Word of the day: thrombo. Awesome. I've already called some dikk that cut me off, a thrombo today.

I agree (thumbs u

A little late, but I've never seen an X-Factor #71 2nd that ISN'T a newsstand edition. Didn't look very hard, did you?

You.. are....AWESOME!

On the driveway. Hope nobody ran over it.

Is that you, GIJOEISAWESOME?

Never said anyone was going to get rich off of these and in fact, I'm willing to bet the entire Knightfall run will heat up in a few years. That 25 year mark is coming up, along with the Death Of Superman. Look at how many Batman 428's are out there? I've seen crazier things happen in comics. Even if Batman 497 only hits $80 in a 9.8, it's still worth it. After ebay fees, Paypal fees, if you can make say $40 a book and sell 200 of them, you're doing alright, How'd you like 200 people to put $40 in your hand? I figured as much. People still buy Spawn 1's for $70-100 each in 9.8's and that had a much bigger print run than the 497 did. Settle down, spaz. "Appears" doesn't mean definitive. And by your typical defensiveness, it APPEARS you have a lot of money invested in this issue, and want to convince yourself that it was a good decision to buy multiples of it.

It appears the only shot at making any real money is to dig through those short boxes of 497 and hopefully find a 9.9-10.0 candidate.

9.9's

I tend to agree that more flippers own this book than real collectors, and the bubble will burst and down will come flippers, wallet and all. People have been saying that for years. This book remains the exception to the rule.

The only exception being something made in such small amounts, it becomes "collectible." Like maybe 5 of them. Something like that.

So, comic books are good? I want to shave that friggin guy's hair off, every time I see him on tv.

The point was that it's bad for business to raise the price of a comic based on one inquiry being seen as an increase in demand. That is bad business. I'd never step foot in that shop again. Terrible business practices, yes.

I like them because every other phone sucks.
