Moderns that are heating up on ebay! 71 71

[Pinky Lee Zepplin]

Spawn 222 CGC 9.8 just sold for $510!

 

Yeah, but there looks like there was a "Whole Lotta Shillin Going On"

[mrwoogieman]

Yeah, I don't know Larry from Moe or Curly on these boards. Just seems like friendly advice to us fans on what is selling hot from his pov.

 

 

 

 

 

 

You leave Curly out of this!

Thanks for the kind words Sir.

 

Just a friendly heads up to boardies: Green Lantern Annual #1 is out of stock at Diamond.

 

I'm NOT telling you to spend medicine money on it. It will NOT put your children through community college.

 

It's a killer book though. Key. Smart. Fun.

 

I would imagine that it is indeed the next Sinestro Corps one shot.

 

Also.

If you speculated on the new 52 in the last year.

You did pretty good.

 

what about the curse/stigma of the annual? it always seems like annuals, even with key events, don't wind up doing as well as collectibles. no idea why.

shush blob, he's on a roll and the masses are eating it up.

I want to give credit to Larry. His recent posts have been pretty reasonable. Hopefully that will continue. In the past, the confrontations have been when people disagree on his picks or question his track record.

 

But something to keep in mind on Larry's picks. He runs a comic store. He appropriately cautions people about the fact that a book may increase in value but still have a pretty thin margin. He can purchase at good discount to cover to begin with and has multiple venues for selling that probably aren't open to most in this thread.

 

For me, if a $4 book goes to $10, I don't even care. It's not worth my time, let alone any risk, to make $3-4 after Ebay and Paypal fees.

Or because he made racist "jokes".

i.e. My Little Pony -- probably a safer bet for a B+M retailer than an internet flipper. Shelf stock can trickle out for a long time at a 50% profit. I have a buddy who runs an LCS who ordered BIG on SpongeBob 1 and is still selling them.

Funny you mention JLA #12, I walked into my LCS today while picking up a Superman #16 (1942) and he said here because your a great customer you can have this variant and regular of JLA #12 I said thank you and looked at the rack I I had the last one !!! It's good to be a big fish in a little pond.

Local stores here still had a ton.

I was in 3 stores today, all had 5+ copies.

1 store had over a dozen.

Here's what I have from The Market today that is not CGC graded or a variant. I think this list is pretty standard. Not to many surprises here.

• Chew #1
  
• Invincible #1
  
• Thief of Thieves #1
  
• Dark Knight #1
  
• Justice League #1
  
• Nightwing #1
  
• NYX #3
  
• Batman Vengence of Bane #1
  
• Batman #1
  
• Batman Adventures #12
  

Here's that same list with variants thrown into the mix

• Chew #1
  
• Amazing Spider-Man #678 MJ Venom variant
  
• Invincible #1
  
• Before Watchmen #1 various variants
  
• Justice League #12
  
• Superman #75 Platinum
  
• Thief of Thieves #1
  
• Avengers Vs X-Men #10 Sketch Variant
  
• Justice League #1
  
• NYX #3
  
• Vengence of Bane #1
  
• Multiple Warheads #1
  
• X-Men #25 Gold Variant
  
• Batman Adventures #12
  
• Wolverine #145 Gold Claw Variant
  

 

Maybe this is why we, as a collecting culture, enjoy variants. Not only does it satisfy our need to own something so few will ever be able to own but because each and every week it changes so drastically that it keeps us interested.

I second this

[mrwoogieman]

Midtown was knee deep in JLA 12 kiss cover and GL Annual 1s. They had the Aquaman 12 variant behind the counter for $20.

 

 

[spideysenses78]

As of yesterday, mine still has about 20 JLA #12 and a box full behind the counter. I pity the fools who paid $20 for them.

[fastballspecial]

saw at least 100 Green Lantern Annual #1 and 200 JLA #12s today at Midtown

 

GLA 1s wont sell out until people read it and realize how much goes on in that book. I am not a huge GL fan, but after reading I realized what it was. That and the its very well written and great art.

 

JLA 12 in my opinion will sell well in the short term, but unless the make the Supes/WW thing more permanant it wont have legs. Its not a BoP 8. Print run is too high and there isnt much going on in the book although its pretty well written and the art wasnt bad either.

 

 

[fastballspecial]

That ASM 678 variant is amazing it has well surpassed the GL/Batman Variant from a few years ago. Man does that book have legs. I cant deny I love the cover too.
