What's in your "long term speculation" box? 5 5

[Hezi]

I can’t be the only one who thinks the Power Rangers have a lot of room to grow. Seems like Netflix has some big plans for them and they were a huge pop culture fixture of the 90s, so surely nostalgia for them will kick in at some point

I think the original OP question should read long term speculation boxes, not box. Right now there is so much from SA through to MA that is worth stockpiling.

 That is a sporadic spread  all the same, wouldn't mind keeping some of those myself  I had never seen the label to that variant of Hulk #1 up close either. So Cool.

HA! Yep! I'm nothing if not "sporadic and eclectic". I stumbled in to this interesting thread and just went through the pics on my phone adding books that I consider holds for the time being. 

There are about a half dozen variants for the Hulk #1...this is easily my favorite as a homage to the original Incredible Hulk #1 back in the 60's. I bought a bunch of these several years ago on the cheap and I've been having them slabbed over the years. Definitely going to pop once Red Hulk makes an appearance on TV/Movie. Most of these have already seen significant increases, but will see even more once these characters show up in up-coming movies...then I'm selling and buying a Gen 1 Bronco or K5...

A bunch of copies of Miles Morales 10 ended up in a dollar bin near me(1st Ultimatum)... scooped em all.

I bought around 15 copies of these out of that dollar bin. Looks like they're going for around $15-25 pretty reliably right now as Ultimatum is part of the current Miles story arc. Will probably let go of a couple of my lower grade copies soon to cover my costs and collect a bit of profit now. Do think I have a few that are pretty high grade, might pre-screen those.

I have been meaning to update this thread with some of my long term pickups from the last few months... stay tuned think I'll do that later today

Still got 40 of these in a box.

I thought after the movie option, and recall to change name to FBP, then a surefire winner...

 

Nope.

Interesting. I'll happily buy on the downswing.

PR could have room to grow, but I’m not touching anything Netflix related unless I know another studio is interested in it.

Yes,  you are lucky,  your chances have significantly increased compared to last week

Right now, I'm just picking up any early work I can by Brandon Graham. Interesting cult following he's developed, sound storyteller, and a lot of his early work is obscure, low print, sometimes overlooked, but his fan base is pretty serious. As he gets more well-known -- possibly as a function of Jake Gyllenhaal's PROPHET project, maybe not -- I suspect the already existing continued upward pressure on value of the rare early stuff may grow significantly.

Is anyone ever going to care about Savage Dragon?

I just dug up this old thread and thought it was pretty cool so I'm bumping it up. 

I hope these Savage Dragon books come back.  I have a complete run until issue 75 or 100 I'd like to move.  I think I even have one signed by Larsen. 

If CHAOS! Comics ever gain steam I can retire.  😉 

I've got a bunch of Marvel 1st apps and trying to decide what's the best to grade now. What are you guys digging out these days?

Unfortunately, the only Savage Dragons worth much are the ones after 100. If people think Spawn had a low print run, Dragon is less than half in the 150s and on.

With how king options have been taking to make it to screen - and the speed at which normal viewers watch and forget new series I am kind of over playing the tv/movie spec game I think.

A local auction house had a run up to 250 in lots a couple of weekends back. 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.

As far as books in the long term spec box, video game related books. You can still find them for cheap at LCSs and in collections.
