Moderns that are heating up on ebay! 71 71

Action Comics #1 & Detective Comics #27 reprints have been pretty trendy lately. These copies have 39 watchers and are already @ $31. I suppose when you can't afford the original, get a kick reprint to hang on the wall and impress your friends. (thumbs u Edited January 5, 2014 by whetteon

Strange Tales 180 is exploding last few days for some reason. Last 2 sales have been ridiculous. Not a modern, but it fits here.

I need to clarify this. The ones I have coming are the Third Eye variants signed by the 4 "Comic Men".

Wow ! That is quite the jump. I guess that covers all the GotG first appearances ? You never know, Pip and Moondragon could make a guest appearance

Those were excellent buys. Still should do you well.

High Bidder, Bid activity (%) with this seller: 100%

 

So? There are 3 different bidders who bid $80.00 or higher and the other $100.00 bidder has bid with 11 different sellers in the past 30 days.

 

That always makes me suspicious, but in looking at previous sales, it's not unheard of for this horrible book to sell that high.

 

I've had no problem selling them either. Sold every one I had, and I had lots of them.

What in the hell is going on with Man of Steel #17??

What in the hell is going on with Man of Steel #17??

 

Did the market suddenly decide they prefer that to #18?

Or are the market buyers too dumb to know the difference.

GoTG is gonna push a ton of books through the roof for the next 6-12 months. Guess it's time to get on the train and sell. I think after the movie, a lot of books are gonna fall hard.

IMHO

I have a few 18's and actually pulled a few 17's the other day out of my LCS's dollar bins. Am I missing something? :shrug:

From day one MoS #17 has always been the more valuable book due to its much lower print run. Nothing has really changed. You can check the recent debates on the issue:

I wonder how many people are actually going to open up #17 to see what they got.

 

 

That's it.

[the authority]

The print run was enormous on all of these books and everybody thought these were collector's items. I was living in Houston when these came out and they took up huge sections of the of the wall. I can see demand being high but not higher than it was back then and I'm betting over 90% of these are pristine still today. I think #18 is the book to have but I think both are too heavily available to have lasting value due to the fact that he came back.

 

There may not have been as many of these as Spawn #1s on the shelf but it was extremely close.

I loved living in Indianapolis and I've lived in Houston and Corpus Christi in Texas all were job transfers . While in the Army I lived in Maryland, Kentucky, and Oklahoma. I was gone from here for about 9 years but Southern Indiana and Northwestern Kentucky are where I call home and I love it here. If you don't like the weather, wait 15 minutes...

 

I live in Maryland right outside of Fort Meade, (non-military), where in Md were you?

 

I had about 15 copies signed by all four cast members, plus about another 15-20 unsigned that we're just left at the table after they split. Larry told me to hold them but I was getting $20 signed and $10 unsigned the weekend after Baltimore Comic con, I sold through them faster than I should have.

 

I lived on post at Aberdeen Proving Grounds when I was in AIT for about 6 months. Really beautiful up there. I was able to visit NYC, Philly, Connecticut, and I spent a ton of time in Baltimore at a place called Hammerjacks.

 

I haven't had a drink in more than twenty years because Baltimore and places like it almost did new in.

 

I ran around everywhere up there and used to go check out a lighthouse in Havre de Grace, home of the Ripkens. I also loved the harbor. Very, very good memories. (thumbs u

 

I know Hammerjacks very well. Best rock club in Baltimore.

It was probably the best rock club I ever went to personally. I saw the Kix, Tesla, and Lita Ford there but they sometimes had the mega bands like GnR, Poison, Skid Row and the like. It was THE place back then. Great times even with a shaved head. Err, shaved heads were NOT in style back then and limited to military and bald guys only.

It's just the age old argument over a cameo and a first full appearance....I kind of like the 17 page.
