I've never known the CW to defile characters. That content sounds better suited to Cinemax.

There seems to be some real heat on Ultimate Fallout 4 slabs in the last several days on eBay. Spider-Man 1, featuring Miles in the regular Marvel Universe, was delayed as they had to wait for Secret Wars 8 to be released before launching that title. Now that his book in the Marvel Universe is upon us with a release date of this upcoming Wednesday, Ultimate Fallout 4 could really surge.
Anyone wanting to research it could just look at sold Ultimate Fallout 4 CGC copies over the last ten days on eBay and marvel at the price jumps. The sellers who have been paying attention have really bumped their asking price on slabbed copies of Ultimate Fallout 4 too, and quantities available on eBay have diminished.
If the slabs increase in value, raw copies won't be left behind in my opinion.

Ultimate Fallout 4 sells for 22.45 before shipping.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ultimate-Fallou ... SwwE5WZkFi" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Here a copy sells for 19.99 before shipping.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ultimate-Fallou ... Swk1JWhALp" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Here one moves for 30.00 without shipping included.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ultimate-Fallou ... SwwbdWKlfO" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

This seller is getting 12.71 a copy and has sold one to 8 different buyers over the last 6 days. His last copy should be gone shortly. When you get a price spread on a modern book like Ultimate Fallout 4 is getting, it seems to show some real heat. This reminds me of the price spread Captain America 25 was getting, when Steve Rogers was "killed". Ultimate Fallout 4 has much more staying power though, I believe.
I think this book is heating up strictly because the Miles Morales Spider-Man title, which occurs in the regular marvel universe, is about to launch. Obviously he'll be getting much more exposure in that universe than he's previously received from his appearances in the Ultimate universe.

I don't know if it was selling for more consistently, but the book dropped for awhile. Perhaps that drop was due to disappointment Miles wasn't the main Spider-Man in the next movie. However, raw copies are now rebounding back to where they were even with the knowledge he's not the Spider-Man in the next movie.
Slabbed copies of this book are doing the same thing. They are rebounding. I think the rebound is because his new series is hitting now.

Over the last 40 years or so, I've never seen a book so obviously a great investment as Ultimate Fallout 4. I'm not telling anyone to go buy any. This is just how I feel about this book and the character featured in it. But I'm wholeheartedly buying up Ultimate Fallout 4 slabs. I haven't done something like this since I was hoarding Valiants before Unity. That's how much I like Ultimate Fallout 4.

Someone mentioned omnibuses, I think in this thread. Here's a Thor Omnibus 1 that popped for almost $450 including shipping.

Quite a few of the first run Omnibus sell high - X-Men: Age of Apocalypse, Silver Surfer, Simonson's Thor to name a few. I think that after a while the Infinity Gauntlet Omnibus will be big too. I'd like to see the whole Infinity Trilogy collected this way.

Yeh that was me. Never thought they would be so collectable. Ltd edition hardcovers sometimes, but their is a big movement for these large collected volumes.
I wish their was a Spinal Tap comic, and I had a copy CGC graded at 11.

NM87 is totally on fire! After watching the movie on Friday morning, I went home, dugged out all of my NM87's and started posting them up in my eBay store. Over the weekend alone, I was bombarded with so many offers I thought my eBay phone app was going to break. I ended up selling the following.

1) 1st print CGC 9.8
2) 2 copies of 1st print CGC 9.6
3) raw NM copy of 1st print for $180 shipped :o

There were some offers on my 2nd printings too, but the biggest $$ bump and interest seems to be only on the first printings. I haven't seen much hype or interest for Uncanny X-Men #201. Now I just need to figure out the best way to unload 50+ copies of the 2nd printing...

Cable & Deadpool #1 has also gone from about a $15-$20 book to sales between $50-$100 as well for a raw copy! Wow!

Think any action will happen on the 2-issue Cable LS, or the #1 of his first regular series?
