spreads Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Totally absurd, if you ask me . . . I know that seller, and it looks like all his auctions are on the high side. This was a good sale for him. It didn't sell . . . I guess I should have looked for your kissing emoticon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prez Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Totally absurd, if you ask me . . . Thats a crazy asking price. Kinda misleading too as his headline says "First Printing" - makes it appear that it is not a reprint - is there a 2nd printing? Kinda like saying Spectacular Spider Man 90 is fist appearance of alien costume but omitting "in title". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda like saying Spectacular Spider Man 90 is fist appearance of alien costume but omitting "in title". From the OSPG: "Spider-Man's new black costume, last panel (ties w/Amazing Spider-Man #252 & Marvel Team-Up #141 for first app.)" Who am I to argue with the experts? And here is the buyer's feedback: "Great service. Quick shipping, gorgeous comic. Would Definitely reccomend!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many people have been under the mistaken impression that these books were reprints (due to Overstreet) for many years. Not $125 tough, but $10-$15 or so.

ygogolak Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Marvel tales issues really are undervalued, let's face it Marvel Tales 1 is still a 60's book and has reprint stories of all the best heroes at a fraction of the price. Not withstanding how little a high grade copy exists, as people treated these as worthless reprints at the time. You think 98/99/106 is undervalued? They're reprints, I think when high grade versions start to equal the price, or close to the price, of low grade versions the ceiling is hit. Yes and were not there yet. The most interesting part about this to me is that DC just sat and watched Marvel reprint old stories for two decades. It's a testament to the brand of Spider-Man vs anybody else. Alright, then I'll sell you 98 and 99 (low grade copies) for $40 shipped. Why would I want low grade copies for that price? We were talking about high grade copies and currently high grade don't sell for much more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Cataldo Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Isn’t the one with the rhombus a Whitman distributed copy? Do they coincide? I thought it was the ones with the blank UPC space because the bag they came in had the actual UPC on it. Peace, Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peace, Chip Cool, so I seem to get the difference is just that instead of an UPC crossed by a bar (direct market) the Whitmans have the UPC box left blank.

What the hell man, I must say that announcement came out of nowhere. I was holding onto my double for a Vixen casting ann. in regards to the Suicide Squad movie. I wonder if this is to introduce audiences to the character for a live action appearance on tv or in film... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The animated series will take place in the same universe as Arrow & Flash so yes live action TV would be a likely possibility I think... This animated series might've already been in the works for awhile hence her exclusion from the SS movie... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
