Be happy to send you them if you come up short on your compilation. Plus, the TPBs include #20, which as you'll see from the Intro (by Wein) to vol. 1 of the set.

NoMan, beware of lying scumbags who will ask far too much for 25, 49, 50 and (now, apparently ) Annual 2 under false pretenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjum12 Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 You shouldn't have to pay through the nose for any of them. I wish you'd posted sooner, I just sold an 80 issue lot to the LCS for $150.... most of the "keys" were gone, but there aren't really any bad issues. There was a 46 and 25 (with Totleben autograph) but I kept those... and a 64 (last Moore issue). The shop had them less than a week... lot of Swamp lovers out there.

I consider it a key. Except for few outliers like #37, DC's never remain hot (really lukewarm its DC after all) for very long which is why I consider going rate less important when determining a DC key. #50 fits the bill to me as a Moore Swamp Thing key. Book now sits on eBay at $225 with a make offer. My guess is if up for real auction it likley would only get $160-$175 at most. As the bubble bursts the first thing to drop are Modern non-Marvel books then mid-grade Marvel with high census pop's - outliers of course not withstanding. BTW it is a stretch to say it's 1st Justice League Dark but if it elevates a great DC book from ice cold to cold or a bit higher I'm good with that Edited December 16, 2021 by MAR1979 jimjum12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadroch Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 The issue that has the Hellblazer preview sells well, at a small premium to the rest. I know it's in the mid-60s but forget the exact issue. I get more for the issues with the JLA, so I guess I'm just another lying scumbag. jimjum12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAY1979 Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 (edited) #53 in my opinion is a key. Batman appearance, Great dialog and story of which the shocking conclusion sets up the remainder of Moore's historic run on the title. Of course those who look solely at current dollars a book commands likley won't agree, but I'm true fan of Moore's run and collector not a dealer, seller, flipper or speculator. Batman, Chester, Abby and Jim Gordon splash not a bunch you'd ever expect to see together on the same page. Only a writer like Moore or Gaiman (as he did with DC Supers when they appeared in Sandman) could make it all work without seeming absurd.

Are you claiming those issues have any connection to the Justice League Dark in your offering? If so, you are just another a lying scumbag.
