  1. Not sure if this goes here, but has anybody else had bad luck with recent marvel books? the last two weeks at least one of my new books Hulk #7 and avengers forever # 6 have had the center pages disconnected from the bottom staple. The latter book being extremely unfortunate for this to happen to. The outside of the books are pristine and you wouldn’t even notice it if you were just flipping through the pages, so I’m assuming it wasn’t the fault of my LCS or their distributor. Is anybody else experiencing this or am I just getting unlucky? I’ve noticed the page quality of marvel books has taken a nosedive recently, so I’m wondering if Marvel is just cutting as many corners as possible
  2. That makes sense. I’m one of maybe two people at my LCS who pulls the regular MMMPR series, so we got to talking about the crossover book and they mentioned that they had to order a lot more MMPR/Godzilla than originally planned since it was selling well. Hopefully this leads to more MMPR crossover books
  3. Power Rangers vs Godzilla #1 cover A and B seem to be going for $25+ and a 9.8 for cover B sold for around $130 the other day. And ideas why?
  4. I can’t be the only one who thinks the Power Rangers have a lot of room to grow. Seems like Netflix has some big plans for them and they were a huge pop culture fixture of the 90s, so surely nostalgia for them will kick in at some point
  5. Thank you all for the advice. I really appreciate it!
  6. Hello, Sorry if this isn’t the right place for this, but I’m wondering what the best service to use is when shipping comics with semi high value ($500+) UPS? USPS priority? Priority express? is there an agreed upon best way to ship out comics that you want to make sure are delivered that will also protect yourself as a seller if the customer tries something shady? Thanks in advance
  7. worth it just for ASM 430/431 newsstand
  8. You know what.. Those are very good points! Maybe I was unfair to lump them all together. Second prints with the first cover appearance are sought after and I can see why. I was being too narrow minded.
  9. I don’t understand why second, third, fourth, etc. prints are valuable and sought after these days.. I know somebody will tell me “low print run” which I kind of get, but with that logic what’s the point of ever buying a newly released comic these days until the second printing comes out..? and if the particular comic is a first appearance then how are later prints of that issue still considered the first appended when they are released months after the true first appearance (first print) came out? By that logic my facsimile Hulk 181 is the first appearance of Wolverine and surely has a lower print run than the original, so how much are you willing to pay me for it? Am I the only one who is baffled by this recent trend? I just don’t see the value of these later prints holding up
  10. I wish there was a clear definitive answer in what is their first appearance. I’m confident that power rangers are going to see a TMNT esque push within the next 5ish years and it would be nice to know what books to put money into
  11. If they appeared in manga prior to traditional American comics then would their manga appearance count as their official first appearance?
  12. I would assume that the CPV newsstand would have the lowest print count, but I could be wrong
  13. Awesome, thank you for clarifying that for me!
  14. Can somebody more knowledgeable than me help answer a question? on TMNT adventures 1, there seems to be two different versions of the Canadian price variant. There was a sale today on eBay for a TMNT adv #1 Canadian price variant and this version doesn’t have a barcode on the cover. My copy of the Canadian price variant has a barcode on the cover. I’m assuming this means that there are two versions of the Canadian price variant? Is this right or am I confused
  15. I’m sure it wouldn’t hurt to grab #2 just in case!
  16. Yeah, that’s the one. I had five or more on my watch list and they all were bought up on the same day. I agree with you about it being undervalued. IMO this is the last TMNT book with any big first appearances that hasn’t blown up yet. I’d argue that Bebop, Rocksteady and Krang are more widely known than Casey Jones, but I could be wrong.
  17. First appearance of Bebop, Rocksteady and Krang seem to be getting scooped up pretty regularly lately
  18. Any input on some overlooked issues from the original run? I see #53 and #56 are now listed as keys on key collector when they weren’t previously listed just a few weeks ago. Any idea as to why?
