Would you buy comics at your LCS if they raised the hot books to current eBay prices? hm

 

not unless it was a book I wanted for myself, and the price was fair. I've passed on alot of overpriced stuff in LCS.

Let's get this back on target.

 

What Coppers are hot today?

 

I snagged a few Moore Swampy's last night for $4 apiece from my LCS - #49 (x2), #50, #52, #53.

 

I'm always mystified at how lazy an LCS is when it comes to staying on top of

books that start catching fire.

I know it's difficult but that's why I'll always set higher prices on hotter books

or keys to help leverage against overnight spikes in price.

 

Hit another LCS and landed #49 (x2), #50 (x2), #52 (Cdn Newsstand variant), #53 (Cdn newsstand variant) for $3 - $4 apiece.

 

You and your Canadian newsstand finds. It's like you live in Canada or something...

 

:whistle:

So, even though this is a 'modern,' will we see Predator Vs. Magnus go up?

 

:D

The collected edition for that is impossible to find.

 

Does it still sell for good $$$? A few years back when the Valiants first spiked (2001-2003) I found 10-12 of them here locally. Once LCS would not sell any more to me, though, as I kept buying every copy they put out.

They are actually hard to find at LCSs unless they bring in a Copper collection. Even then, most of the HG books are just :censored: direct editions.

 

I just got contacted about two collections from smaller communities that are SA/BA/CA and should be full of them if all goes well.

Better search term for that HERE

 

...and then you use the correct filter, most recent first.

Then you see a book described as NM++ that sold for $48. What is NM++? I would think someone on here could explain themselves, err, that grading.

We've tried to get that someone to explain themselves here, but he just deflects and insults and disregards. I guess a NM++ is somewhere between a 9.8 and a 9.8. But not with those spine ticks and that bottom right corner on the from cover.

Are you al insufficiently_thoughtful_persons?

 

Come on now, how can you all not be intimately familiar with what constitutes a grade of NM++?

 

I think NM++ would be somewhere between NM+ 9.6 and NM/MT 9.8.

 

Although, perhaps a numerical grade isn't fitting to a grade of NM++, at all.

 

I think NM++ or perhaps the more truthful moniker of LMRASITPHHIBCACGC/CBCSSP ++ would be a more fitting category.

 

Although I think that Lemme Reel a Sucker In To Pay High End Bell Curve Around CGC/CBCS Slabbed Price PLUS PLUS (++) may be insulting to potential buyer's.

 

That said, one can hardly blame a certain member for choosing to opt for grading his books at NM++
