  1. It is possible that someone (insufficiently_thoughtful_persons) thought this was the darker version of the cover that sometimes sells for a premium even though it is just a print error or the scan could have been darkened. IDK anymore.
  2. LOL. Thanos 15 3rd Print is his coolest earlier cover if that is how we are doing things these days. GET IT before fomo!!
  3. I get that. I just feel that if the show is long running and the general populace has not read the actual comic, then the book could be decent for a while (A la WD 27 and other random WD keys when it was still heavily watched by non-readers of the book). Just my 2 cents. I could be 100% wrong and no one gives 2 Sh##s about it.
  4. No one thinks 1st Oliver in #26 might be desired at some point?
  5. i would guess this also has something to do with it.
  6. Yeah, i would guess someone else would buy it or run a similar show. I have zero doubt about that. It is just sad that it is probably done in it's current form and Wizard is probably done as well.
  7. I am kind of assuming that Wizard might be joining the list of things going out of business if they can't do the show this year. This had to be the last possible way they could make any real money and they have been on life support for years and years. It will be sad when this show doesn't exist any further. I love C2E2 as well, but Rosemont really makes this show more fun and a seemingly better time.
  8. Why wouldn't he be playing Bruce Wayne?? That would make the most sense for about 1000 reasons.
  9. The last 7 have went for $1232+ shipping, $1300 BIN, $900+ shipping on a BIN, $1700 OBO, $1175 BIN, $1850 OBO, $1750 OBO. All the best offers went for over $1500 per. This book has been on fire since late May. The 9.6s and raws are also at all time highs.
  10. Plenty of them are sitting on ebay for between $450 and $550. The buyer on clink is either stupid or a shill. This book has only really moved in newsstand 9.8 as previously suggested.
  11. That is the date on the indica. It has nothing to do with the release date. Previews were released on November 20 (Tech Jacket), November 27 (MOTU 1) and December 4 (Savage Dragon). Noble Causes 3 (actual cameo/1st appearance) was released on December 4 as well. Thanks.
  12. That is simply incorrect. Savage Dragon was solicited earlier, but was not actually published until December 4, 2002. The same week as Noble Causes 3 (which contains an actual cameo and not a preview). Tech Jacket 1 and Masters of the Universe 1 were released in November of 2002 and contain the same preview that Savage Dragon has. THESE BOTH PREDATE the Savage Dragon and Noble Causes appearances. Please don't spread misinformation. Those dates are just from the indica and not actual release dates.
  13. I know hot off of SDCC, these were highly touted, then suddenly comic shops were shipped these by the tons, where once though to be scarce, now overprinted, and a lot of customers grabbed stacks to horde and hold, so I'd probably shy away from these if buying on speculation more than passion, since I'd guess there's quite a bit of 'em out there, probably more supply than demand, with lots of folks waiting in the wings to offer 'em up on eBay, and because they're free, the cost of goods / cost basis is $0, and they can afford to sell 'em at $0.99 or whatever and garner pure profit. suddenly comic shops were shipped these by the tons Okee dokee... ( ACTUALLY the top 1,000 Diamond accounts were shipped fifty ea...) I gave them away. This weekend in NY Gerard gave away a "Doom Patrol song" to the 300 fans that attended his panel. They were cassettes. He's becoming the "killer promo guy' fast. Not saying the b&w promo will put your kids through college or pay for your prescription.... Easy $10 soon though. Ask anybody set up in NYCC how his stuff sold there. Gangbusters. 1,000 x 50 = 50,000 2,000 = 1 ton 50,000 = 25 tons So, yes there's tons of them out there and they're still sitting at LCS's around here in the free stacks I also saw 100s at one of my stores. I don't know how they got them, but they definitely had them.
  14. In Rogue One? Or did you mean a different movie? I just googled and don't see that speculation anywhere.
  15. But Marvel has a minimum 1000 print run on the 3rd variant and 3k/1500 on the first two. They either changed it at the corporate level or these guys are destroying half of them or something else. Where are you getting this info from? -J. I got it from knowing retailers who work with Marvel/DC over the years. Those are the rules. I have someone contacting them tomorrow to see if the rules have changed, but I have not heard anything to suggest that.

  17. But they have the new DC logo on them, so they were obviously a new printing.
  18. Are any of you up at Fan Expo? I heard they made a mistake/error on one of the Color Variants and released some on accident. Can anyone confirm this or let us know if it is hot up there? Batman Fan Expo Color Variant This seller has sold 10 or so of them for a decent price and another one had a few sets, but no one else has listed them at all.
  19. Don't you take vacations during the summer too? Cedar Point is pretty awesome... Cedar Point!!!!
  20. Anyone have any information on the different printings? I googled it and can't find mess about it. Thanks in advance.
  21. Exactly This is what brought about the downfall of American girl dolls (they're still made but not a collectible) and muffy Vanderbear. When you take away the rarity of a formerly rare item and decide to mass produce to fulfill a perceived demand (or greed from the makers), interest for the product goes down by those who made your item desirable in the first place. They never learn from the tale of the goose that laid the golden eggs. I've seen this happen too many times. Speculators serve a purpose and the few squeaky wheels need to be ignored (not just in comic collecting) But selling to an ever decreasing group of people is going to keep the comic market afloat? The opposite occurred with baseball cards. The product got rarer and rarer to the point 1 of 1 products were being produced. And look where that hobby is right now? Cards are as expensive as ever. I agree that the total number of collectors is down, but the key cards are doing much better than key comics over the same time period. I have no idea what this means for longterm viability. I just know that most every key card seems to be doubling and tripling over very small periods of time.
  22. We are barely going to get a Rogue One reveal at SDCC 2016. I don't imagine we will hear much toy wise until at least next summer.
  23. Can anyone find a spoof of this sort of thing.. I think it may have been a SNL skit but it could have been "In Living Color" or a show like that. The guys were selling something on TV and had a "fire sale" and actually appeared to burn the place down... and then the sale ended and they put out the fire and moved onto the next item. It was brilliantly funny...can't find it anywhere! SNL SNL Will Ferrell as Don West
