besides it has a really really really low print run......

 

Awesome. Like I said I was not aware of what specifically (if anything) lead to its seemingly prompt uptick in interest. I agree it is a very high quality book.

You would have to have access to all the bidders names, which you don't. Possibly need their real life names. Sounds easy, right? Then cross reference them with their real or fake name in the said group.

Why would you even repeat this as there's obviously no way you could verify such a story. Real or not.

 

Why not. Everyone says whatever they want around here. Doesn't matter if it's true or not anymore.

 

 

There's a difference between a know-it-all constantly barking at everybody about how they shouldn't ever attempt to estimate a book's print run, and someone repeating unfounded rumours that are potentially libelous.

Don't assume what I'm talking about, it's wasn't the RMA situation

What I assumed is that you were deliberately cryptic with your statement for a reason.

 

I therefore filled in the blanks as I saw fit. (thumbs u

I am well aware you are a Trey/CBSI groupie. This isn't about playing favorites or picking sides, it's about helping protect the hobby. I have zero reason to communicate with you as you will defend that site no matter what is staring you in the face.

I don't remember . (shrug) It just seem to be good form to circulate that kind of rumour without any basis or evidence, especially without the other party here to respond or defend themselves. The tie in to estimating print numbers was simply my attempt to draw a distinction. :foryou:

:gossip: I just don't like the baseball card guys getting involved AGAIN with comics.

 

That's all

 

Has nothing to do with print runs, pretty covers or limited books.

 

Just keep the used car salesmen ( sorry Tom ) out of the hobby.

Speaking of used car sales men. Looks like Negan was one before WD started. Before he was the head of the savior a he was a salesman. Can't wait for Image Plus (sorry off topic please continue)

An example was asked for Jay, so I gave an example. I stated very clearly that I was unaware if it was true or not. It really isn't that difficult to verify as true or false if anyone cares to do so for themselves.

 

One can ask Matt Rosenberg how the WCNGH SDCC variants were sold and why he decided to limit the WCNGH NYCC variants. You'd be very surprised with just how much information some creators become made aware of. I don't suggest anyone to stop with just that though. Keep going and look at early sales. If you are knowledgable enough of who is who you'll put two and two together real quick to decide for yourself if anyone from CBSI assisted in manipulating the market for this book.

Okay, I had the wrong "investment" site, but this is the link that caused Monstress to take off (even before it started getting talked about here):

 

http://investcomics.com/weekly-hot-picks/investcomics-hot-picks-401

 

It references a previous Hot Pick blog from October 29th:

 

http://investcomics.com/weekly-hot-picks/investcomics-hot-picks-396

 

Notice the original blog says no copies were on eBay. That original blog came out before Monstress was released on November 4th! Of course there were no copies for sale on eBay. :facepalm: Misleading? Seems so to me...

 

I remember checking eBay when that 2nd blog was posted, and sure enough, Monstress #1 was available for cover price or less. Within days, those copies disappeared.

 

High quality or not, the simple fact is, nobody cared about that comic until that investment site posted about it. Then it sold out very, very quickly.

 

I'm not disputing if the comic warrants the speculation or not. Just saying that is an example of a comic that was hyped on an investment site first, then people became interested using the misleading information that no copies were for sale on eBay.

 

And the reason I remember this, I pointed out back then that this site was manipulating the market for this book.

I'm not overly familiar with that other site either way.

You always do, which is exactly the problem.

A very mild GO alert here since Im not sure what the condition is:

 

http://www.ebay.com/itm/What-If-Astonishing-X-Men-1-One-Shot-J-Scott-Campbell-Marvel-RARE-/141944095568?hash=item210c870350:g:33cAAOSwxcRW-xfJ

 

Looks like this book spiked at 45.00 in the past but now not as much, so who knows, but if youre a JSC fan then price of course is not an issue. Just get it if you like the cover
