divad Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 On 12/15/2020 at 2:01 AM, Hey Kids, Comics! said: I did a con in Charlotte on Sunday and it was BANANANAS! Since people hadn't had shows in a while and either didn't know or didn't have time to purge their own stuff, the pickings were VERY good. Especially on SW stuff. I try and keep up with the news but even I miss stuff. Picked multiple SW 2/43/60 for $5-9 but left behind 5s at the same price. Found an Old Republic Lost Suns 2 for $3. Thought it was a $20 book. Had no idea it was a $75 book now. The market is crazy hot right now especially in person with people not being able to dig in so long. You can sell anything Dark Horse right now as people just assume that any book has the potential to blow up overnight. I'll but any first Darth (although I'm unfamiliar with most) for cheap and use the CBSI links referenced above to buy anyone's first that I've heard of. It doesn't have to be fist apps either. Cool covers featuring Asajj Ventress or Aurra Sing (or any other character for that matter) and any Clone Wars tie-ins were moving especially well. Hope you don't regret it in the long run.

Only 3 of the 15 sold 9.8s on ebay were newsies. I get into this argument from time to time. My thought always is early 80s are abundant and they just dont slab them. Later 80s and into the 90s I agree more with that thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much like Marvel Super Special #15 vs. Star Wars #42. I would totally agree that as mags, the comics are usually preferred. But Star Wars isn't a comic book property, as these characters debuted in animated shows before being adapted for comics. The first published appearances being in magazines are desirable for a fan. Helps that CGC does grade them too I never touch mags unless I get them for $1 and they are in great shape. No matter what spec sites tell you its not a good spec to put alot of money in them. Odd size books have a much smaller buying pool. Rip 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jjmmm Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 I'll admit, I just spent $100 on a pristine Mace Windu #5. I like the "in canon" appearance a little more, and I think as Ahsoka's first continues to climb this one will too. May grab another when it dips in mid 2021 before show news.

maidenmate91 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Darth maul #2 first appearance of Cad Bane is seeing some nice gains, now $35-50. It seems the new listings are asking for more though. Aja variant is king. However not seeing a lot of the border variants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comic stores don't have backstock of these things. Rip 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigContracts Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 I've been trying to scoop up anything related to Force Awakens since they seem to be less desirable "at the moment" but anything related to Boba Fett, Thrawn... I'd say any of the other bounty hunters too. Could see them appearing in "Book of Boba Fett" next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sequels were a disaster. The characters focus on are Kylo Ren and Maz Katana. Those characters appeared to have the biggest and most deserving backstories from the sequel trilogy. It’s possible they are explained or used to make sense of the garbage sequels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighRadArt Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Star Wars High Republic 1 is nuts. Second print has been ordered before the first print has hit the shelves. BigContracts and kairos70 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I like pie Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 I would steer clear of anything related to the sequels. The general consensus is, Episode 7 was just ok and one half the fans hated 8 and the other half hated 9. I don't see Disney going near those for a long time. awakeintheashes and maidenmate91 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkveronese Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 The new Star Wars Insider (199) is the first appearance of High Republic in official print and has an original text story. Worth grabbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A big part of that is due to stores not going big on the first print orders. I was expecting 200,000 - 250,000 print run since the book has been telegraphed and solicited since early 2020. Looking at the current state of new issue orders, 100,000ish is more realistic excluding the store variants. That is a far cry from the 2015 SW 1, which was over 900,000 in January 2015 according to Comichron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the first era to be introduced into canon that didn’t have a skywalker hanging out somewhere, I believe. Pretty big deal from a storytelling standpoint. How many variants are there for #1?

manetteska Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 (edited) This is not the right era but since it’s been mentioned — as well as magazines in general — Marvel Super Special 16 is finally taking off.
