Just got back from my LCS.. they had the Campbell cover for $29.99! So of course I picked it up!

 

Now, do I sell or hold? hm

 

I passed on the $50 tag my LCS had. Sigh.

 

I called my LCS to see if they had a Superior Spider-Man #20 Campbell variant. He told me he had to order 100 copies of the regular issue to get the variant. He didn't.

 

In the retailers defense:

There are about two dozen or more ordering incentives per week.

 

tough to keep track of em all...

Every Spider-Man book that Campbell has done the cover for has ALWAYS been $$$$$. Look around for yourself. ASM 500, 601, 606, 607, 648, 688 and 700, as well as the v2 30-35, and the Ultimate Spider-Man 150 and 152 are all valuable books, especially graded 9.8. For those of you wondering if you should sell or flip, look on the bay for a copy of 648 and tell me you should sell anytime soon. I have my 2 copies that i managed to get today, and i assure you they are not going anywhere anytime soon, except to florida and back.

You don't have to defend the LCS as I completely agree. There's no way he could make money having to buy 100 copies of that issue. No way they would have all sold (not around here anyway). That's why I underlined 100 copies.

Of course he could have..

Being conservative:

100 copies cost $200

 

Let's say he sells 38: $152

Sell you a 1:50 to build loyalty for $39

Fill the fifty cent bins: $31

sell one on eBay in a week for $125 minus fee's $100

 

He just bought a weekend of fried food.

You forgot about Amazing Spiderman Vol.2 #52 AKA #493 + #53 AKA #494. Cambell also another nice Black Cat Variant that no one really talks about, it's Amazing Spiderman #612. He also has a really nice Psylocke Variant which is Uncanny X-Men #510. That Variant that sells pretty good too.

I always pick up 52 and 53 for cheap.....eventually those will get higher....but for now you can grab them in the $1 bins!

And 612 is Black Cat by McGuinness not Campbell. Getting harder to find though.

I think that's just a function of "1st to market"

 

There are still copies of #1 sitting in the rack at my LCS.

 

There were a lot here but almost all of them had ink stains/smears on the spine of the book. I ordered some from Midtown and they were high 9s with very little in the flaw department.

That should tell you something as well. If a book is great it wont matter people will want to buy it to read. People arent passing on that book because of the ink stain/smears on the copies.
