Stupid question but.....

 

What makes the modern GL's so high?

 

I am guessing movie hype and holdover interest from Blackest Night :shrug: Actually, I am not a modern person so if my pricing is way off on any of the moderns I list let me know

 

:gossip: A local LCS was selling off all of its inventory so I just grabbed a bunch of books I thought might be flippable...guess we will find out lol

I wonder that myself...

 

Any FF, graded FF? :popcorn:

 

Not tonight my friend, but I will be glad to dig through the shortboxes tommorrow and see if I can turn any up...know I have a good number of SA issues...17, 48, 50 all in the neighborhood of VG to F and a few others if I remember correctly. Drop me a line if you are looking for something in particular. If not, I will throw a couple up at random tommorrow :foryou:

Superman 128

 

CGC 4.5 CROW pages

***This arrived in a slab with multiple cracks...tossed the shell and it remains within the inner well...no damage to the book as near as I can tell, but definitely not fully slabbed :doh:

 

And the arrival of the hula hoop death machine signifies a new low for Snake Eyes.

Will the thread recover? Will Superman realize that his Superman powers really can help him escape?? For the love of God, buy this book and get it the hell out of my man cave so you can find out :ohnoez:

 

Asking $50 :shrug:

I see that some lots sold really low. But there are some sets around 18-20 that are listed really high, but none have actually sold.

I don't mean to bust balls, I just wanted to know what was warranting such a high price. I honestly don't know what makes those books significant.

So clearly a more expensive modern...what is the deal with this book? I honestly have no idea why it is going for the big bucks, but let's see if I can cash in on my ignorance :cloud9:

 

Asking 333% guide goodness at $50 :eek:

No harm done at all, I actually welcome the conversation since I need to learn a bit more about this end of the market (thumbs u Like I said, moderns baffle me (see the Birds of Prey above) Just a note to all, feel free to make offers if I am out of line on anything, promise my feelings will not be hurt.
