This was a live auction which I believe ebay just rolled out that works exactly like Whatnot where the sellers are talking and moving around grabbing books, etc. I do not think that there is a sold listing to find as I just looked at ended/sold listings and there is no option to search for live auction results. I went into the room, saw the book at like $30, and bids kept coming in as the clock ran down. At like 2 seconds left on the clock a bidder would bid again, and the clock would reset to 8 seconds, I believe. Saw the bids hit $60, then $80 something and finally ending about a minute after I entered the room for $108. I assure you it was the regular Ramos trade dress variant, not the 1:25 virgin. I was looking right at the book for over a minute. That is why I brought it up here. Live auctions bring out the crazy bidders with more dollars than sense as they say. Now, was there a shill bidder or two in the room? Did the winning bidder actually pay? No one knows except the seller.

I'm confused on the Doctor Aphra #33 Marquez Variant with Aayla Secura on the cover. I was keen to the 4-6X cover price sales before Key Collector listed it on this weeks trending 20 as I always look at books I'm expecting from my FOC preorders. Not Aayla's 1st app., and it is surely not a 1st cover or anything. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=Star+Wars++Doctor+Aphra+33+Variant+Marquez&mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&campid=5338314175&toolid=10050&customid=1000&LH_PrefLoc=2&rt=nc&LH_Sold=1&LH_Complete=1

It was absolutely the regular Ramos variant. Not the ratio.

I just so happened to stumble upon a Ebay live sale yesterday as I got quite a few notifications on my phone from from the site. I clicked on one to just check it out (something I don't often do, because I hate watching videos on cellphones.). Anyhow, the 1st book up for the live auction I caught was a Spider-Man #7 Ramos variant raw. I missed where they may have suggested a grade, but it was in a bag/board so not much could be seen on the book grade-wise. I couldn't believe my eyes when the hammer landed at $108...for a raw! I cannot wrap my head around how some people get so caught up in an auction to bid items up like that, especially since they could have just grabbed an already slabbed 9.8 for the same price, correct?

I was going to say the same thing! I gave up ever finding one of those...nice score on that!

Cursed Pirate Girl...nice finds!

I was going to say myself, there is no Facsimile reprint of Black Panther #1...yet. Only the True Believers reprint which is blatantly not the original with the banner on top and does not contain original ads, etc.

Agreed, shops should not be slapping their comics, especially grails....

Leave that comic where it is. As said, the sticker is just part of the problem. The book itself is thrashed and is what appears to be a 90's drek issue. What comic is that anyhow?

It could be that the latest FOC had the zombie homage to issue 1 of JLA Classified this past week bringing attention to the sought after covers for Power girl.

Agreed, Giorello's art is always on point. His work on the DH King Conan mini's is amazing and the highlight of the whole DH Conan era.

I will be looking to pick up a few copies of #1 and 2 from the new Supes run. I didn't pre-order any as DC has been off my radar for quite bit. I have heard that the series is off to a good start.

Here is an odd one that I've never seen- ITW - In The Works 2. I guess it is a preview book for the Haunted Mansion series from SLG that predates the Marvel run. The mini from SLG is pretty scarce, and copies of the last few issues are really low print and can go for good coin. This preview is probably a unicorn in the wild.

Silver Surfer Ghost Light #1 Planet of the Apes variant. I sold one less than a day after listing for $12. I had to press it to get it to a 9.4. Was about 8.5 beforehand due to a long indent on FC from dist. shipping and a NCD fold at the top corner that was pretty large. There are some sales for up to $15-20, but I decided to price that copy a bit lower to see if it would move quick, and it did. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1313&_nkw=silver+surfer+ghost+light+1+apes+variant&_sacat=0&LH_TitleDesc=0&rt=nc&_odkw=silver+surfer+ghost+light+1+variant&_osacat=0&LH_Complete=1&LH_Sold=1

For sure, I sold a Werewolf by Night complete collection tpb vol. 1 about a year ago for $125 shipped, maybe? These can still be found in the wild I'm sure at an old skool type store with tons of unorganized backstock. Just one example off the top of my head. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=werewolf+by+night+complete+collection+1&_sop=13&rt=nc&LH_Sold=1&LH_Complete=1

Apparently, Battle Chasers is about to be continued by Joe Mad. Not sure under what publisher and can't remember where I saw this info.

I ordered 4 myself from Dark Dominion but have yet to receive them. I had 3 more ordered from DCBS, but they were cancelled as the book supposedly was cancelled by DH and resolicited. I did not re-order the 3 from DCBS when they resolicited them.

Only took a few days after release. I'm sure not many ordered big on a video game comic wherein the game hasn't even been released yet. That said, I'm sure that the people who don't have distributor accounts that are waiting on pre-orders from regular pre-order spots will bring some more to the table in the next couple of weeks, and start a race to the bottom price-wise. We will see. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=Skull+and+Bones++Savage+Storm+1&mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&campid=5338314175&toolid=10050&customid=1000&rt=nc&LH_Sold=1&LH_Complete=1

Hardlee Thinn = Hardlee Worthit....but collect what you like is the motto

SKULL & BONES #1 Dark Horse new this week. None of the major stores have in stock that I can see and ebay has only a few copies: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=Skull+and+Bones++Savage+Storm+1&mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&campid=5338314175&toolid=10050&customid=1000&rt=nc

What is this Haha/Ice Cream Man connecting variant ya'll are talking about? I have the whole Haha series with some of the cover B's and am not seeing anything that falls into that category. I also have a few of the Ice Cream Man #24 covers. Were these connecting variants store exclusives?

I answered my own question. Hilarious how Disney will cancel a story like that for "diversity and inclusion", and that they don't allign with Disney "values", anymore. What f'ng values Disney? I'm so ready for that company to implode finally. Hopefully, sooner than later, so Star Wars and Marvel can be their own entities.

Are they pre-pack only issues?

I found my copies of those issues 8-13 of Superman/Batman. I knew quite a few were not even close to the NM range. I do have a duplicate set of 8-12 plus some triples/quadruples. Will keep the nicer ones for my PC for now and sell the undercopies. Some are as low as 7.5 unfortunately, but I'm sure I found them in $1 bins so I'd be happy to get $25-30 for the set if that is even possible.
