MediumLover Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I say speculation is moderate to high risk by definition. "hope of gain but with risk of loss" doesn't convey the danger, the pure gamble I associate with the word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimik Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 (edited) Ms. Marvel 1 just tanked compared to the last sales. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=251705140635 And Shazam 28 http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=261650748516 Really expected better.. November has tended to be the worst month for eBay sales for me. I avoid listing anything from October until the post Christmas/early New Year run up. I won a few lots in the Sunday Night Heritage auction for less than my initial bid tonight. This was the first time in a month that I took home anything with lowball bids. There were plenty of low prices to go around. It is just that time of the year. Edited November 10, 2014 by kimik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akaSteveRogers Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 (edited) Spe-cu-late definition here Heating up? Yeah looks like the early Power Man and Iron Fist books or at least the "1sts"... #50 (first official team-up), which Im sure there are plenty of copies out there in 9.8, is selling 50% more than usual. http://m.ebay.com/itm/321571681791?nav=WATCHING_ENDED and the #54 (first Heroes for Hire), which doesnt sell often in 9.8 just went for $200+. http://m.ebay.com/itm/221593763663?nav=WATCHING_ENDED Edited November 10, 2014 by akaSteveRogers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never found a 9.8 but I settle for my "measly" 9.6. Edited November 10, 2014 by akaSteveRogers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aweandlorder Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Looks like Ms Marvel 1 (70s) had a huge influence on the market.. I think that you will see PM&IF48 9.8 listed for triple that amount by the time the TV show airs a trailer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose I can see that with the way Marvel has been slowly building up Warlock, heck, even slower than they've been building up Thanos. Avengers vs Thanos in Part 1, Avengers vs Magus/Warlock in Part 2? Either way, good comic to own, great storyline. This run was one of the firsts I read when I got back into collecting earlier last year. (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighStakesComics Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I might consider buying the dip on the MM #1 and Shazam #28. Good opportunity to pick up doubles and send them in for grading. By the time you get yours back the market might be less saturated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(thumbs u I feel that ST 178 is of the 2 most important Warlock books for the development of the character, MP #1 being the other (yeah, not a fan of the FFs and Thors). ST 178 has so much going for it, 1st Magus, 1st Starlin, 1st Warlock as a cosmic superhero, black cover which is super tough in high grade, not to mention how poorly this book was cut on so many copies, nice centering is very hard to find The Warlock / Magus / Thanos story is so amazing it would need its own movie to tell it all properly, maybe GOTG 3?

I mean, great comic to have and lovely condition, but that kind of money?! Heck, I'd be tempted to sell my 9.4. Even at a fraction of that, I'd make some profit. Holy chi...look at the sales curve on this one! Right off the chart! Edited November 11, 2014 by DavidTheDavid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
