ygogolak Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Its funny.. 3 of the books discussed in this thread I found in one batch last month: WW184, Spectre 54 & Static 45.. It was a huge modern collection that was CLEARLY cherry picked as there were no known key issues in the 20 or so boxes offered. But it had TONS of unknown keys such as these, also 3 copies of Akira 35-38, Deathstroke 58-60, Batman Strikes #35-45 (what? you, didnt know about these??) and I cant begin to tell you how many 2nd print variants of big books (Yup including the big one Captain Marvel 17, which is, well, somewhat a better known key hehe) Pic of Static 45 or it didn't happen. Sorry I gotta see it. I haven't even seen a personal scan of this book ever. Only website pics. Show me and all give you this I couldn't resist.... OK this is STUNNING! I have never been lucky enough to find one at any LCS here in NY or Florida. I have purchased 3 raw copies on-line over the past 2 years claiming to be NM. Sad to say none were ever as advertised. There's no way I'm risking another 100.00 unless I see it in person. LOOKS DISMAL. Wow, only 2 graded too, 1 9.8, 1 9.6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonzilla Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Got my first ever copy of Batman 635 today along with 2 other elusive ghosts in my travels ... I also found a copy of Stickboy #7 which I've needed for several years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bart Allen Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 How rare is Warrior #1, the 1st appearance of V? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadleg Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 After doing some research on that foil GI Joe 33, I can understand why it's so tough to find. It's a Graham Crackers variant, isn't it? Yes. Is that the one you were talking about? I guess I'm going to have to look out for Static 45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLS Comics Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 How about Grendel # 1 from Comico or Primer #2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadleg Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Oh yeah, Coyote 11 seems to be another book that is just hard to find raw in the wild for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A comic dealer and good friend told me about 4.5K on that static 45. Don't know how accurate or true. Only what I was told by a comic vet that knows his stuff.

Aweandlorder Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Bingo.. They have a ton of followers on their listings trust me.. If this was a regular clueless seller listing the same listing - rest assured this would end up at $50-125 bucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
