I was going to comment on this myself. I live in Orlando, FL and the buying opportunities here in greater Orlando are pretty dismal. The big chain here which is Coliseum of Comics has a pretty horrible model as far as finding good inventory. New books that don't sell get put in just a bag (no board), and placed in the back issue bins at which time the price is raised $.50 for just the bag I guess . If a book gets hot, it is quickly snatched out of the box and re-bagged with a board to be put back in the box or on the wall with eBay NM prices, regardless of whether it is anywhere close to being a 9.4. I have rarely had much luck getting books that are already hot out of any of their locations. Then you have Acme Comics, a beautiful and massive store very close to me. They like to eat and have drinks behind the counter as they are processing books for the back issue boxes. I can't tell you how many times I've bought books out of there listed as 9.2/9.4 on the price tag, to then get home and remove a book to find a huge water spot damage or food residue on the BC etc. Not once or twice mind you, dozens of times. And the big $1 room they have in the back? Literally just overflowing with junk that is mid grade at best. When and if you do find something of some value...."oh that is not supposed to be in there". Yep, you ain't leaving the store with that. My better buying experience was by far when I moved to a small city in NH for about 5 years. The few shops I had within a 5-30 minute drive from me yielded many more hot books for cover price or less with no sales tax to boot. Aslo, add in all the competition here and it pretty much sucks around me. I have better luck just sourcing off ebay and other sites, or pre-ordering books for selling, no lie.

yep

WildCats #11-1st Mr. Majestic is a sleeper IMHO that may never do anything, or could be a big one down the road if they ever do anything with him. Always thought he was a real cool Superman-esque character that has much potential.

You have a $1-3 comic based on the condition to be honest. These are as plentiful as they come and nothing major happens in the book. #2 is the 2nd appearance of Deadpool, and had a spike a few years back, but is now back to a $5ish book.

I personally think we should be hesitant to want any more mega corporations to own any more of our beloved licenses and comic companies...just saying.

I saw a whole video discussing those. The book came first but is obviously not really a comic so....However, in that book Yoda is purple and elvish looking as per Joe Johnston's original concept designs I guess? The latter two had the panels redrawn to sport the green Yoda that we know from the movies. Wish I had snagged a copy or two of the mag before it blew up!

Venom #32 Aliens Cover...Book was sleeping for the last couple of weeks but is the standout thus far, and by the looks of it, the single best of those Aliens covers that will be released. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1313&_nkw=venom+32+aliens&_sacat=0&LH_TitleDesc=0&_osacat=0&_odkw=venom+32+alien&LH_Complete=1&rt=nc&LH_Sold=1

FOC on that Carnage book is 3/1 https://www.mmcomics.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=875870&tag=FOC+3%2F1%2F2021

popculturezone Another comic seller who doesn't know that you can order heavy duty cardboard sheets from Papermart.com (the only ones worth buying BTW). I explained to the that I order 1-200 at a time and land them for about $.23, and that they can get them way cheaper by ordering in mass bulk. Physics is just lost on almost everyone that sells comics on the internet and ships them. They think a box, and backing boards, keep comics from getting damaged when the inside of the box the comics were slamming into the whole way from NJ, was what crushed the books. I friggin give up.

Just got my first order of High Republic #1 I got last minute on ebay before it started to take off. Was so happy to get what you see below. Of course, "they were shipped in the industry standard Gemini Mailer" with 2 pieces of painters tape to hold the packet of 10 comics in place whilst being thrown around by the PO like a frisbee. A ten pack of comics that the day of them actually shipping them out to me had a market value of $200 about, but no other protection to keep the books from slamming into the inside of the box, like IDK, a friggin piece of cardboard with them locked down to with some heavy duty fng packing tape!?!!!!

FS Teen Titans 1 is a one page cameo last page to my knowledge. I'm more banking on #2 cover B I think

HAHA #1 hot out the gate...no one saw this one coming? https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1313&_nkw=haha+1+image+-(variant)&_sacat=0&LH_TitleDesc=0&_osacat=0&_odkw=haha+1+image&LH_Complete=1&rt=nc&LH_Sold=1

Wow ok, I've never seen those before!

Oh, so they knew what they had...I think we all figured that slipped by them and you got it for a steal like $5. If you paid $200 for the regular gold version we would all be giving you some real bad news.

Just looked at Batman Beyond #50 Last Issue. They are basically gone from eBay 2 days after release. I heard there is an appearance (1st?) of a character from the animated show in the book, plus it is the last issue. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=Batman+Beyond+50&rt=nc

I was going to order some copies of that book, great cover. I figured I would order a bunch and the book would never be anything. If interest grows as just a cover book I might pick some up, but I don't think anything really happens in it or there would be musings already.

That is why they just upped the price

You can still order from TFAW. 1 copy limit. They have been doing 3 copy limits on a lot of stuff lately for some odd reason, but this is the first I've seen with 1 copy limit. https://www.tfaw.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=high+republic+1

When the hell did High Republic #1 turn into a $15 book? It hasn't even been released yet..lol

So those popped up in the Wal-Mart 3 packs? I wasn't aware of that. Some sellers are listing them as a Wal-Mart Variant, which is incorrect I believe.

Looks like King Thor getting some heat. Especially the #1 2nd print Gorr Cover. Some sellers are listing it as a Walmart variant as well...FML!

Yep this game is ruthless. You want to get rid of stuff so you don't have mountains of stuff to crawl over, but then almost every dog has it's day and you don't have that dog anymore when it matures into something. IMO, the biggest problem in this game is not having too much inventory, regardless of how good the inventory is at the time. The problem, is not having enough space to store the inventory comfortably, and you liquidate prematurely.

that was pre-variant times
