Personally I would not be selling now. If you're going to sell wait until the hype train really gets rolling after trailers start being shown. Yes you could make gains but I think you could probably do better later. Just my thoughts.

 

Which, of course, is why the books are starting to sell at better prices right now. :grin:

 

The better prices are a function of the movie announcement. However I think better gains can be had later. All it should take is a few pics of gorgeous ladies in costume.

 

Perhaps, but selling books I got for nothing for $25 - 30 a pop is a solid business plan. ;)

I ordered quite a few then they cancelled my order thru DCBS so I didn't re-order.

 

Same here! Didn't this book just get offered on the last order form at DCBS? How did it already release? (shrug)

 

It dropped in stores like 2 weeks back. Another awesome shark book is White. That was a great read and I do not see it anywhere.

They explained it in a thread about how they renamed the company. I figure if you cant get it right the first time.

Superior Carnage #1, Checchetto variant (still) heating up. $100+ raw now...

Probably has better staying power than the Thunderbolts variant since it's a more popular character.

 

I like Checchetto's connecting covers for Elektra #1, Kingpin #1 and Bullseye #1 for Feb 2017 release. Got those plus the Skottie Young Baby variants preordered through Midtown.

 

Not bothering the LCS with this request (although I did get the regular cover from them for reading). I can understand Bryan Hibbs complaint regarding variant cover ordering. At least with chase variants, it's fairly simple: buy x of regular covers and you can get 1 chase. The Checchetto Connecting, Skottie Young Baby, Hip Hop and Action Figure variants for those three issues are free to order with the caveat that orders for the regular cover must meet or exceed 125% of orders for Daredevil #10 (JUN160874). Easy enough to meet if the retailer only ordered like 10 copies or less (of Daredevil #10). Probably not so much if they got 100.

 

Marvel seems determined to top Diamond's charts via all these convoluted rules for ordering variants to bump up unit sales without any care for sell-through. These tactics give me a much greater appreciation for DC's freely orderable variants.

Book has been out for three years. It was a 20 dollar book a month ago, why would it have staying power?

Note, I mentioned better staying power in comparison to another title. I won't even pretend to know how the market will behave but I reckon as far as comics go, Carnage is more popular than the Winter Soldier so Superior Carnage #1 will probably hold its value better than the other one.

Because people know about it and the artist now and it features a bad-azz rendition of a character with surging popularity.

 

Why wouldn't it?

 

Don't like it, don't buy it. But your irrelevant opinions don't change the fact that it is hot and merits mention in this thread.

I still don't understand this 'know about it' reason that gets referenced so often with such certainty. This isn't a 25 year old book, variants were a 'thing' 3 years ago. Was this some super secret under the radar unannounced cover? I could see it if you were talking about a surge of new variant collectors that entered the market in the gap between it's release and now, but otherwise, this reasoning is always suspect to me.

 

I don't know a single comic book hound, let alone a variant hunter, that isn't camped out online and reading solicitations.

I don't get it. You gripe when a new book comes out (or is "pre-sold") and goes up in value. And you gripe when an older book is discovered by the masses and goes up.

 

Some books are released with little fanfare. And the spec game even three years ago was nothing like it is now. It happens. It obviously happened here.

 

If it all baffles and befuddles you to such an extent, maybe you should just consider quitting this thread altogether.

You either are confusing me for someone else, or you're making things up.

 

Also, nice way to totally drop and run from your "they know about it now" statement without defending it at all with any... I don't know... rationality.

I didn't "drop and run from anything". Had you done any research on the book before posting you would have realized the folly of your statement on your own.

 

Sufficeth to say, that, in debuting at #34 on the sales charts with barely 48,000 copies of the regular covers sold, the title didn't exactly set the world alight.

 

And it's also getting tiresome hearing from the peanut gallery whenever someone deigns to point out a book that is heating up. THAT'S WHAT THIS THREAD IS FOR. if you don't like it, take your petty snark to another thread. Or try contributing positively to it for once with some of your own observations. But for god's sake, whatever you do, change the channel man.

I don't have a problem with "books heating up" - I have a problem when the reason given for it is a tissue paper thin one that is dropped like it's a fact. I'm going to question those reasons. It isn't personal, it's about the information being presented as if it were some sort of fact.

 

Also, I don't appreciate your tone, perhaps you should be more considerate to people, this is after all a discussion forum, not your own personal area on the internet to navel gaze.

 

You're in no position to tell me or anyone else to leave a thread, certainly not when you're the one that appears to have a problem being civil in this particular instance.

I'm not "telling" anyone to leave the thread.

 

Simply pointing out that this thread has slowed down to a crawl thanks to a small cabal of self-appointed comic book police who seem to believe they should have some kind of advance approval on what books are or are not pointed out here. No, no one has come right out and said that, but the constant peanut gallery snark that is tossed about like so much cow dung at a county fair whenever someone does point out a book heating up should stop (unless of course you really do just want the thread to die for some reason).

 

And see my edited post above for "why" the book I mentioned likely did fly under a lot of people's radars. And guess what ? I am alerted to older books all the time that I missed. There are a lot of books that come out every week and even a savvy collector can miss books sometimes (particularly a variant hunter, like me). I didn't even know about ASM 667 D'O until nearly a year after it came out. So yeah, this thread, and other sites can be useful for showing collectors (like me!) books they have missed, books they would have liked had they seen them when they first came out, and can make them want to seek them out. Is this rocket science? I think not. This is a board for talking about comics. So can we talk about comics , dammit?

 

Please, all you guys that used to post in this thread, don't let this little clique of party poopers stop you from showing guys like me what books we should be taking a look at or might have missed. That includes you divad! lol
