it was flipped twice at $50 prior to those listings.

combo packs are speculated on. theyre not trending yet.

 

Yea but those $50 sales were still sealed copies, the stuff the guys are buying in bulk are opened.

 

Could be a factor.

 

I have never seen a difference between being sealed or not. Since CGC takes the book out of the plastic seal why would it matter if the combo pack comes with its wrap or not? The condition of the book would seem to matter more to me.

 

Let it go he wont get it.

Returning to the discussion of Batman: End Game, I knew they were heating up, but had no idea how much. I bought a set of the regular covers 35-39 at my LCS (who were selling the set for $9.99, plus 25% discount, so only $7.50...knew I couldn't lose at that price). Threw them up on eBay at 19.99 and rolled the dice. They ended at $66. I had no clue.

Bidder was 0% FB but the paid right away, books shipped and were delivered, haven't had any issue so far.

 

Not tooting my own horn, just giving a heads up, these things are apparently going nuts. After that auction ended I ran out to my local shops to see if I could put a couple more sets together, but 36 was the only non-variant I could find in the wild. I didn't bother with the variant covers (Harley, Flash, etc) because I wasn't sure if they'd have the same result. I think that the people that really want these probably want the "real" covers.

 

Anyway, happy hunting!

It wasn't short printed, non-regular readers bought all the copies not held for subscribers because they were led to believe it featured the death of Snake Eyes. Its issue 212, I'm pretty sure IDW has figured out what the monthly demand for that series is by now.

Because most collectors don't care about slabbed books. And collectors of anything are usually anal retentive and want whatever it is they collect to be exactly as it was originally produced. So if the book originally came polybagged they want the thing to stay polybagged. Also, as stupid as it sounds, when a book remains polybagged you can convince yourself that it is in a better condition than it actually is because its still sealed and untouched by outside forces.

Thanks for the heads up. It's been a good read. I'll have to throw mine up this weekend.

I think you mean short ordered. How many does your shop normally receive?

 

Probably .. few of the shop I visit usually will order at least 10 to get the incentive but the order been winding down to less than a handful

So this guy is going to have to sell alot of Convergence #0's to make his money back.

 

Convergence #0 Hughes Variant

 

Seems he bought 2000 Copies to get the 20 Variants on the floor.

Risk Reward Good Luck Sir

 

 

Nothing says "rare" like a photo of 20 books on the floor.

 

Nothing says, "I can wait for prices to drop" like a photo of 20 books on the floor.

buy it, read it, return it when you don't see spider-gwen inside.

Possibly, but I didn't buy any regular cover and I was able to pre-order the variant. It would take a lot of juggling accounts to get that many though.
