(or actress if your choice)

 

So...are you saying actor is your choice...?

 

[joe_collector]

Exactly! I sell them, not collect them. Anything that touches my hands now is purely to flip and make a quick buck before the bubble bursts in everyones face.

 

Aren't you the little Devil.

[joe_collector]

Apparently there were 4 bidders taking that book into the stratosphere.

 

Yeah, 3 shills and 1 sucker.

OA isn't for everyone, but wonder what the guy who paid $12K for the 9.9 would buy if he had it to do over again. The highest graded copy (of which there are now 3, I believe?) or a truly one-of-kind collectible (at 1/3 the price).

Where did Deadpool's double-shock leg pouches go in the last panel?

Those are colostomy bags. What - you want him to make a mess during a serious fight?

Yeah, modern prices are so screwy...OA would have been much better.

$4k for a Liefeld page. i'm sure there are OA guys who are thinking that's screwy too.

sorry, but i beg to differ, that's a page from his first appearance, i'm thinking that is a very wise investment, the CGC 9.9...no.

[DiceX]

I wouldn't give 4,000 colorful beads for any piece of Liefeld OA.

 

 

[DrWatson]

I would trade a pack of Fruit Stripe gum for Liefeld OA.

[DiceX]

I used to love Fruit Stripe gum.

Great gum but it only lasted like 2 minutes...

[dupont2005]

I saw that page last night. I was looking through Craigslist and saw someone selling a collection that included NM98 and he didn't want to break it up. I looked up NM98 to see if it was worth buying the collection and selling that issue off to possibly get myself some cheap/free readers. A NM98 in near mint condition goes for way less than I thought it does. I decided not to contact the guy since the issue would likely sell for about $30

There's a dirty joke in there somewhere, but I'm just not on form tonight.

The joke requires taking out dentures...

I know this has been discussed in the Pedigree Comics auction thread, but, seriously, this atrocity sale deserves to be pilloried highlighted in its own thread for posterity:

 

New Mutants #98 CGC 9.9 Sells for $12,250

 

I don't know whether to or because the little bit of faith in humanity I had left has been ripped to shreds.

 

That's more than I just sold my Batman #1 for.

12K I would drown on a 9.4 ASM#6 and take the remains and buy beer.

[Bronty]

I don't think either the book or the art are great buys
