    It is illogical to think that anyone other than Spock would win.

    Marge Simspon, aka The Entagler, would entagle Sue Storm in a barrage of blue hair. This round goes to Marge (I've been wrong every time, fyi).

    Spidey wins this one because spiders eat bugs.

    It's a little known fact that Little LuLu is short for "Little Lucky-Lucky." She was known as Little Lucky-Lucky because no matter what she did, good luck followed her everywhere after a strange experiment gave her luck powers. She later took up a new name, Domino. In an alternate timeline, the "Dell-verse," LuLu is actually the mutant Copycat in disguise. LuLu wins this round.

    I got really lucky on this purchase - I was the sole bidder on this random Batman lot on eBay; not sure why. Got the lot for $60 (starting bid) with free shipping. Batman 358 is the first cover appearance of Killer Croc (I know it seems weird, but even CGC lists it on the label) Batman 386 - First appearance of Black Mask

    That's a fair point - I just meant most people think of the rhino and warthog when they hear Rocksteady and Bebop. But yeah, it's definitely them in the first issue as humans, no question. I just think it's "the guys who will become Bebop and Rocksteady" in issue 1, and then legitimately the first appearance of them as Bebop and Rocksteady in issue 2. ASM 344 is first Cletus Kasady for example, and then 361 is first Carnage - that's the first one I can think of off the top of my head... I'm sure there are tons more.

    Here's the first time in the mini-series that they have names or show up in their recognizable form (issue 2): In issue 1, they're only kind of recognizable by their clothes and the fact that they "work" for Shredder. No names though.
  9. Jesse-Lee
    This is correct, but many people - CGC included, it's noted on the slab - consider #1 the first appearance of Bebop and Rocksteady, even though they aren't named in the issue and they're in their human forms for the whole issue. It's not until 2 that they have names and their mutated form. Drives me nuts that #1 is considered the first appearance.

    I guess, I was just surprised that it's selling higher than some 25-27 issues.

    Why is Venom #24 - specifically the main cover A - a $20 dollar book now? I can’t figure out what I’m missing about it?

    "There he is, Mr. America; with his whip, his cape unfurled! Punching grunts, cleaning up his city; ain't his hair and mustache pretty? His tight pants highlight his masculinity..."

    I plan to catch up, I'm just way behind - I just finished the story in 55-57, which I actually really liked...
  14. Jesse-Lee
    Same - but I found a (maybe questionable? we'll see...) site online that had covers A, B and C in stock for cover price, so I took a shot. They did already give me a tracking number, so I guess I'll wait and see... If they come through, they have a future customer in me.

    I'm a huge Bat fan and wouldn't drop that much on the many "first appearances" in the recent runs of the various Bat books. But Joker #2 currently seems to be running at a premium across all covers based on eBay. Looks like it's $10-30 minimum plus shipping to get into this book if you didn't preorder or don't score this week at your LCS...
  16. Jesse-Lee
    I used to beg my parents for these every time we went to the grocery store. Well, these and the Archie digests. I think I still have the Batman Family one and the Plop! one, but both beat to from reading...
  17. Jesse-Lee
    Yeah, half is ridiculous, especially on a fresh auction. I'll admit, I have gone low on some if I know they went unsold and were re-listed, just to see if they might just want to get rid of the stock. But I've never gone as low as half, and if I feel it's overpriced I usually just ignore it rather than try to offer at FMV. I did have a guy selling a book that was like 75% above FMV and I offered 5% over and explained why in my offer. He straight rejected it, which was fine with me. But it sat unsold for a long time, and I don't think it ever did actually sell...

    This is interesting to hear because I'm someone who tends to make a lot of offers on stuff vs BIN or waiting for an auction to end. I always wonder how the seller receives offers; as in, do they get insulted/annoyed or is it just par for the course? To be fair, I don't do ridiculous low-balls, but I do my homework and I do look for deals where I can get them. But I've offered exactly opening bid before and gotten mixed results - sometimes they jump on them and sometimes they counter with like double opening bid, at which point I assume they just want to see how the auction goes.
  19. Jesse-Lee
    Yeah, that's why I jumped on it and also 46 to hedge bets - I was able to grab them as a little buzz was starting but they hadn't taken off yet. 47 seems to be the winner - it's the one with actual story in it. 46 just has some concept sketches and the back cover I believe...
  20. Jesse-Lee
    That's crazy (and don't call me Shirley)! I lucked out and picked this issue up a few months ago right before it started to pop, as well as issue 46, for $3 each. Mine's likely not a 9.8, but a rising tide lifts all boats... Congrats on a nice-looking book!

    Weird random LCS haul today:
  22. Jesse-Lee
    New acquisition but it immediately became my most prized - I absolutely love his art style, so to think I have a small, one-of-a-kind (each remarque is different, 16 in total) piece of his original work is amazing. And I got it at a steal of a deal, which also makes me happy!
  23. Jesse-Lee
    All this and we still don't know what the book is?
