You can still find them for cheap at LCSs and in collections. so true, although I don't find them as often. I don't often pick up "collections" as you called it, more just bin diving at stores is my shtick, but admire the network most have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was online and in person. I tagged all of the lots, then forgot about them while running errands. The new owner paid just under $200 CAD for #100 - #250. Whoa! That's the cheapest I've seen. Definitely would have sold for more than that on eBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Options typically have a time limit. When they expire it doesn't make the news. JoeBrrr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought after the movie option, and recall to change name to FBP, then a surefire winner... Nope. Any day now we'll both be rich!!

Beardown Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 I'm guessing this has been brought up but Batman New 52 (court of owls) issues #1-#11 have always been popular but the potential for this series in a movie or show is off the charts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGC makes no notation Yes, #6 is generally considered the first full appearance of the Court of Owls. #2 is the first appearance of Talon, and #3-5 are apparently considered cameo appearances of the Court of Owls.

the authority Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 I like this topic a lot. I sold The Authority books for quite a good return the first couple of years it was out. I ended up repurchasing more #1 issues of that series than I had when they first came out. DC makes an announcement last month and I sold a bunch again. I hope to buy them again in the future but kept a few copies. Sat on Wytches #1 for 7 or so years and then, boom, there it goes too. Books that come to mind that are dirt cheap that I’m still sitting on. The Ultimates #1. Seems like a no brainer. The Avengers movie always felt more inspired by this run than most Avengers stories and especially looks of the characters. Jupiter’s Legacy #1. This series was pretty great and it’s amazing to me that a bad Netflix show killed it’s value. Netflix and Millarworld are taking another swing at these characters and the potential is still there. Michael Turner superhero books. He was as cool as McFarlane at one point. Very sad that we lost him so soon. His art was outstanding IMO. Rat Queens #1. This book was great looking, fun, irreverent, and the characters were easy to like. It’s amazing that this wasn’t a bigger hit. The artist killed it and that sucked for many reasons but the book itself is outstanding. Hawkeye #1 ( Kate Bishop ). She’s a good character and as she ages, she become more interesting. She and the original Hawkeye fit like a glove. There is no need to choose when you can enjoy them both. When you compare the price of her #1 to Ms Marvel #1 (Kamala Khan ) and Spider-Gwen #1, the book seems like a safe bet. East of West #1. Bet you guys would’ve never guessed it….lol New Avengers #1 volume 1 Having a dozen long boxes of stuff like this, we could go a very long time discussing opportunities. These are books that I still buy regularly that are the first that came to mind. ADAMANTIUM and ygogolak 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave it as trade offering (only as extra though) to a LCS for my Star Wars 68, as in I got those 2 for $2 a piece, LCS didn't seem as thrilled. the authority 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
