  1. May be a bit early to tell but I think a stand out for FCBD 2024 will be One Piece: Aces Story.  This is a super popular manga with a CCG as well if I'm not mistaken.  This is the 1st appearance of the characters/universe in comic format from the looks of it.  There will of course be the copies grabbed at the LCS's during the event, etc., that will bring more on to Ebay but the print run should be small compared to the other offerings from the big 3.  I ordered like 4 from my preorder site.  Now I think I should have ordered at least 10.

  2. I had already brought this one up a few pages back but to follow up, this book is still going strong and climbing. 9.8 copies hitting $200+ and the 2nd print being a good snag if you can still find a copy/copies at an LCS.  #2 also in the $25-40 range with a 2nd print dropping today, I believe.  #3 is also dropping today and could be moving already past cover price even though it would have seemed likely that the market and readers would have caught on.

  3. Conan the Barbarian #25 (LGY #300) Mr. Garcin Variant (Vol. 3) Marvel:  This was an open order variant that is not easy to find.  Only a couple actively listed and some recent sales that are pretty good.  The sale from notoriouscomicshop is $75 with 1 still available at the same price, though sometimes I'm wary of the very high sales from this seller that seem too good to be true.  Try your luck finding this in the wild on the cheap as this is probably an overlooked book in most LCS's.  There is also a King Conan #1 variant from the same artist that is much more prevelant on eBay with Conan on the other side of the connecting cover.  I would say an easy $30-40 book in NM.

    Sales were slow so I decided to do my first $1 start auction and was quite happy with the result. I had this book up for sale in the Buy It Now for a lot cheaper for quite some time and no takers.

    Leave to auction bidders to hike a book up well past a BIN that is literally 2 slots below it in the search.  This book is a bit different as it does have a custome label and sig, however, like you said, you had it up a BIN for less than what the auction went for with no takers.(shrug)

  5. The polybag serves no purpose but to leave indents from the seam on the back and damage the book over time.  The fact that you are noticing bag disintegration further drives home the reason to remove all of them from their polybag tombs.  The Combo Pack banner in the corner of the FC of all those books is what tells you it is the combo-pack, and not the regular edition.
