It's all dreck until the character appears in a movie, honestly, I'm glad people are calling stuff like this dreck because I'm the one buying them for a $1 each, slabbing them and selling them for 10x what I paid for it. I just sold a Spider-Man #13 9.8 for $130 and another for $90, I bought 11 copies at a show for $1 each, I felt 5 of them looked like 9.8s, all 5 came back slabbed 9.8, I have 3 left...

 

Sold the rest raw for $12-$20 each.

It's not drek if someone is paying $167 for it!

 

:o

 

:roflmao:

 

Sorry my concrete jungle brother. This is prolly the silliest thing I've heard in a while :foryou:

 

dreck

/drek/

noun informal

noun: drek

 

rubbish; trash.

"this so-called art is pure dreck"

 

 

One man's drek, another man's $167. I wouldn't call it "drek" now either...maybe 3 years ago, but not now.

 

Have you guys lost your mind? Like... completely?

If its printed in the 90s, First title's letter is X and its drawn by Liefeld - Its drek!

The problem were having with the market today is that its soooooo easy to pump and dump books that with just very little effort you can sell drek to the masses CONVINCING them they have the next big key. Time and again we see books over inflate and then drop back to nothing. How many books did this happen to? 100?? 1000???

We REFUSE to learn because as today's soup de'jour is served to us, we are blinded and mesmerized by its scent and drop our next car payment bill on it thinking "this is the one that will stick"!

X-Force #11 was is and always will be drek

I'm not disagreeing with the dreck vs not-dreck argument here, but I think your search was a bit off.

 

These sales of X-Force #11 have been the norm for quite some time. The ones in your search seem to be outliers.

Sorry I messed everyone's flip-Op

 

Moved this news HERE where it belongs

 

Sorry again

 

I think I have one or two copies left. They aren't making it into slabs, so we're talking $10-$20 each. It ain't gonna make or break me.

Other than having a nice cover, what is special about #13?

 

(And that's one that is typically in the premium $2-3 boxes, $1 each is a steal!)

 

seems to be mainly a $5 book on ebay, but I suppose if you call them a 9.8 and bidders have confidence, it's much better

My sarcasm switch is busted, but isn't X-force 11 the 1st appearance of what CGC calls the "real" domino?

 

just for clarification, is the Domino in #8 thereby a fake?

 

I did get Xforce 11 graded by my own submission (was cheaper) I did that because I did it with the punisher and seemed of similar importance to me (anyway :blahblah:) just the way I've been collecting for my own personal collection, not pump and dump...too many out there for ever to gain traction unless (like similar ASM 134, 135) "NO" one gets them graded and in 30 years there are not many high grades anymore....

As I understand it, #11 reveals that the Domino that we've been seeing was a fake. But #8 is a flashback issue, with (presumably) the real Domino, so that would technically be the first time the non-fake Domino was published, just not in the contemporary timeline

This is it. In issue #8, you're looking at a character who IS DOMINO.

So...................X-Force #11 = UXM #266 and X-Force #8 = UXM Annual situation here?

No. X-Force 8 was published before X-Force 11 and contains a story that occurs (long) before the story in X-Force 11. Also, Domino could not be replaced by a houseplant for most of the panels in which she is depicted in X-Force 8 without affecting the story, unlike Gambit in UXMA14.

I don't think Kevin would call a book a 9.8 that wouldn't be a 9.8 if slabbed.Give the guy some credit....

 

I buy and slab the same sorts of books that Kevin does, if they are soft 9.8's (2-4 non color breaks), I press them first.

 

Books like this that are 9.2-9.6 get $15-$20, raw.

In other words you say: its all drek until someone pumps n dumps it. And Im not blaming you for doing it. Just calling it like it is.

Its not an outlier. I minimized the search ON PURPOSE so you could clearly see how many books sold up until 48 hours ago for under $5. Some at 2, some at 1

If that doesnt tell you that this book is drek I dont know what else will
