yep, looks a lot of people had the same idea around the same time  

And up it went, wanted 9.8, put it on my list, found something I'd rather have, went back and it was too high, then started looking at 9.6's and was just way too "common"

 and just arrrrrrrrgh hahaah

I was surprised there wasn't more talk about (What If spoiler episode 2)

Spoiler

Thor: God of Thunder #2 now that the Necrosword was included in the second episode of What If.

It seemed a big deal to me and I've been waiting for the other shoe to drop. I know spec is in full force after previous announcements but there is usually a bump when it is "here."

Where's the FOMO?

Marc Spector Moon Knight 25, just about every damn MK first team up app book! Lol, I remember when DD Spider-Man was the only team up book along w GL 76 worth owning

I know I perked up in my chair when I heard them name drop Necrosword. Maybe a couple years from now, people will remeber this when Knull rumors start circulating...

I found one for $7.99 then it was removed from my stack and marked up to $100 by the evil witch owner lol. If I ran a booth or a store I would never go through someone’s pile as they’re going through comics even if it’s my property! Lol

How did she realize it was worth more?

I have a similar story with my 635 - lucked into a 130 comic Batman lot on eBay for $176, had a lot of run-filler drek, but it also had 404-407, the entire Hush run (608 was a little beat up, but a newsstand, 609 is a 9.8 candidate) and 635 (also a 9.8 candidate), plus a bunch of minor keys. I traded a bunch of the run filler stuff I either had or didn't care about to an LCS for store credit and just kept the keys and minor keys (475: first Renee Montoya, stuff like that).

It was pure luck - the seller had a bunch of pictures, but the 635 wasn't in any of them, and it wasn't in the title either. But he had a list of all the issue numbers in the description, and it was in there. So I took a blind shot hoping it'd be in there and that it wasn't a beater. Worked out great!

Geez. was 635 the biggest key or did you get a bigger one in the batch?

635 was the biggest - the Hush run was a nice piece of it too, that lot usually goes for at least $100, and I've seen it as high as $150 or more.

Here's a link to what I shared in the Collection thread. Zooming in on the 635 there looks like a small tic on the lower spine, but on a good day with a good press it might still hit a 9.8:

Awesome!

Gallery on phone, or is there a gallery on the boards?

I thought the boards had one, but I'd be tempted to browse

That makes for a great story as well!
