Black Lightning #1 - 1st appearance of Black Lightning

[the blob]

I have sold some decent 8.5-9.2 type copies for around $20-$25 or so. I probably should have held on to them, but whatever, Have a few left, but nothing slabable.

 

Believe it or not, I scored a bunch of decent copies from Mile High within the last 12-18 months at a good price after the codeword. But after I submitted my orders they jacked up the price and now they're all out of stock (they did ship my orders though, can't remember if I was shoreted any, but I definetely got my 5 copies on the first order, not sure if I was limited to one on the second order)

 

Of course, looking at the website now, it seems like they have doubled or tripled their prices in the last 6 months on anything that might have been an ok price after the codeword. i guess that's over!

GREEN-LIT

 

Following the success of DC Entertainment's TV properties, the said division of DC Comics has decided to greenlight a live-action series based on the hero Black Lightning.

A VG/Fine copy was maybe $10 3 to 4 months ago.

I think that's not a super easy book in 9.8, even PGC 9.8, fair amount of black on cover to show ticks better.

Should have jumped on the 9.8 for 349 a month or so ago.

 

People on eBay are reaching for the moon

 

Cheapest is 1,200 now.

that shipping price seems a bit excessive. perhaps GSP or some foreign shipping costs?

[Bart Allen]

Yeah I think so haha

 

But I'm simply wondering is it worth it cracking the case; then submitting to CGC?

Cracking a pgx is like unbagging a polybagged comic from the 90s

Found another one today!

 

And a Black Goliath #1!

 

Unfortunately, also found a bunch of Apokolypse and Doomsday stuff I didn't get around to selling. Maybe they haven't totally "killed" them for the purposes of future movies.
