My collection is all SA and newer so I use Standard Mylite 2's for everything.

You might be right. I think Cover A seems to have had production issues, or maybe all the ones delivered to shops around my town did. I grabbed... let's say several copies and I have 5 getting pressed and cleaned and those will all be subbed on a 9.6 prescreen. Then I have a couple more groups of 5 to submit. I'm sure I'm not the only one. And the cardstock Cover B seems to be pretty durable from the copies I've seen out and about so lots of those will grade high if there is durable demand for it. I think it all depends on whether interest in the character grows or not in that time. I have been very impressed with Joelle's art so far and I enjoyed FSWW 1+2 but the Wonder Girl monthly is a different challenge. #1 was almost a teaser, really wish they'd done a double-sized issue debut, so I'm excited for #2 but whether these drop to $50 in a few months or not depends on how much people like the Wonder Girl series over the next few months. I am not super familiar with Joelle's writing so I don't know what to expect but I like everything so far. We'll see but clearly I've made my bet on my own best guess

Definitely one of the greatest Flash covers!

Take 1 of each if available. Kicking myself for missing those Dakota North #1's!

Alright y'all it's time for your Future State Wonder Woman #1 update 1st full appearance of Yara Flor, star of Wonder Girl #1 which just debuted in May... Outside of a few sellers who set BINs under market rate - $129 + shipping, wish I had caught one... - Cover A this book in 9.8 has consistently sold at $200+ at auction, has sold for a high of $250 at auction (May 26, 34 bids). High grade raws of Cover A have been fetching $15-$25 + shipping but the average is closer to that $25. The $15 sales are from people putting up below market BINs. As some of you know - full disclosure - I picked up a bunch of copies of cover B when it was still up on TFAW for $4 per. Hopefully y'all did too I posted the link on here. That one is going for $10-$15 + shipping raw and 9.8's are around $80-$110 + shipping right now. One sold today for $110 + shipping. Let me say again that I have a bunch of copies of this book so I'm probably biased but... I think this book has a lot of room and I think DC has big, big plans for this character. Could be wrong but let's review what we know so far. Yara WAS slated to get a show on CW. So even before the release whatever was planned for Yara had DC/Warner Brothers confident enough to invest in a bigger push for her. That show was canceled so that plan ended up being changed but I have reason to believe that Yara is still slotted to be a big player for DC in the near term and potentially the long term if she catches on. Why do I believe she is going to be given every opportunity to do just that? Joelle Jones did an AMA about Yara Flor and the Wonder Girl series before #1 dropped. She mentions that there are plans at DC for the "Wonderfam" and also mentions coordinating with Cloonan who is on WW right now. She also says that she and DC have big plans for Yara and that she will be integrated into the larger WW mythos. Again, I'm biased but it seems like DC is putting a lot into establishing a foundation for this character... This book also appeared on the CBSI top 10 this week at #8, so that probably put a couple more eyeballs on it. There's an auction up for a 9.8 that ends Sunday morning... Will it reach $250? Will it exceed $250? There's a BIN at $250 OBO that is getting views and has 7 watchers... will this book keep going up as Wonder Girl issues drop? Issue #2 drops in about 10 days and I THINK it will be her origin story but not sure. Joelle Jones also mentioned in her AMA that her time on Wonder Girl will be all about establishing new villains so if you're a believer you might want to grab a few copies of a few of the early Wonder Girl issues as well... I'm biased but IMO a book to watch for sure...

Not sure if I believe this...

VERY interesting. I've seen 31 on a lot of people's lists as their least favorite Ditko ASM cover. That one, #30, and #37 seem to pop up a lot but of those 3 #37 is the only one I don't care for. I actually think the cover for 30 is really cool and I'm going to try and grab a nice copy soonish because they're relatively cheap for SA Spidey. Their loss!

IMO the best Ditko ASM cover Would be a great buy even if it weren't the 2nd scorpion but that cover and a big key?

Little expensive for the condition FN+/VF- or so... but I want to finish this run and don't have any copy of this issue so Let me also take a second to STAN for Ebay... I just picked up a lot of 20+ late Amazing Spider-Man newsies for about $4 an issue shipped. I'll post them when they get in but these are all issues from 399-441 when it was relatively low print. Not as rare as the newsies from V2 but still, nice deal and they were just sitting there waiting for someone to notice them. Search individual late issues. For issues like this Batman issue and those late V1 ASMs... you can see whether it's a newsstand or not from the thumbnail. There are OFTEN issues that aren't marked as newsies being sold for as much as the directs for that issue go for. And in my case there was a seller with issues cheaper than the directs for those issues, I could see they were newsies in the thumbnails, I offered 35-50% of their listed price on a bunch of issues and this morning they accepted them all. Can't wait to show y'all the wares, a few look to have 9.8 potential maybe but we'll see how they look in hand Happy hunting y'all!

Obviously an Animorphs cover homage on EoSV2 Unless you're talking about the sandals in which case I agree with Kevin Garnett here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltpqPd3t5V0

I want to get as much of ASM V1 in 9.8 as I can manage. These were cheap enough that just picking them up made more sense than trying to get them on a prescreen. 2 shots on a prescreen and I'd be breaking even versus buying these straight out so These are the old, thinner slabs from the early 2000's. Classic!

I wasn't sure what to expect but I loved it. I think it actually managed to capture the tone of most of her work, really warm and sentimental... you can tell she spent a lot of time getting the emotions right on their faces... then you see the back cover and it's super graphic If she does a signing I might send it in for a remarque. Wonder what I'd get

That Bartel cover is hilarious IMO, nice haul

Is that Black Panther issue in your avy worth anything? There is a shop with 3 or 4 copies at cover price not too far away

As a Spider-Man guy I maybe undersold this but apparently Batman really DOES plan for everything

https://twitter.com/stevendeknight/status/1400215946489319424 Jupiter's Legacy was canceled today. Netflix is working on an adaption of Millar's Supercrooks... How many shots will Netflix give this if Supercrooks isn't an instant hit? Does the Millarverse hinge on that show? How committed is Netflix to this?

As soon as I dip my toe into foreign editions Key Collector starts pointing out foreign foil variants?! Luckily I ordered a bunch of these two weeks ago. This is the first one to make it to my doorstep.

buddy if you want to be huffy about it fine but you're making an assumption based on... what? Given that Amazon hold people's money for far longer than Ebay does I'd be surprised if no one had ever made that claim. I don't believe there's a way to prove a negative either but if you want to back that smarmy tone with some actual information and not just a guess based on your ignorance of how Amazon operates I'm all ears...

Uhhh... they do. Amazon is pretty terrible to everyone outside of its walls with a few exceptions that help them boost profits. Even though their sellers do just that, they treat them like garbage. They lose shipments - and we're talking shipments that costs 10s of thousands or 100s of thousands of dollars in some cases - their payouts take a long time and they reserve a portion for potential returns... they create AmazonBasics product of anything that does well so they try and undercut their private sellers which is legal... AFAIK FBA sellers are currently trying to get their contractual terms changed in court so that they can bargain as a collective. People that sell on Amazon complain PLENTY about them. Way more than Ebay. Strange comparison
