Re: Discuss Hard To Find Or Currently Hot Comics Of Any Era
Amazing Spider-Man 4, featuring the first Silk, has picked up. I sold nine copies in the last twenty-four hours for 12.99 each after not selling one for awhile. Plus, my views on that listing went up exponentially yesterday and into this morning. There's some sort of rumor that broke yesterday about her making her movie debut.

Yes.

Hold on buying or selling? I've got Silk 1 in 9.8 which I thought would be worthless.

I'd hold and not sell Silk right now.
If she is in the movie, then Prices will sky rocket.
And if not you didn't lose anything.
Marvel has big plans for Spidey. They r not dumb

I'll bet Thor #132 is going to pick up. In hindsight, I should've submitted that one at the convention along with my Loki book....

Re: Discuss Hard To Find Or Currently Hot Comics Of Any Era
I'm a biased fan of Rick Remender's work but his latest book - Seven to Eternity was an immediate sellout. My shop had one copy left by Saturday and everything on eBay is marked up. Odd considering his last few title launches (Low, Tokyo Ghost) haven't had this much demand. Don't know what's up with this one but I wanted to pick up a few extra copies but Midtown and TFAW are also sold out.

Just read this last night and had to force my way thru it - the story just didn't flow for me. But it was a setup story, things might pick up

Re: Discuss Hard To Find Or Currently Hot Comics Of Any Era
I had no idea where to post this, so apologies if needed.
I just found out that Detective 880 is a 50+ USD book. Because of the cover alone. Wow.
I can see this book being very appreciated by fans due to its iconic look, but that price is a bit crazy given the printing numbers. And it's just that (yes, it is amazing) Jock cover.
Well, I was surprised.

About 40,000 copies is pretty low, given that it is the Detective Comics flagship title.ShadowTuga wrote:I had no idea where to post this, so apologies if needed.

Batman #1 (the reboot) is also an expensive book and it is listed at 218,000 copies on that same webpage.
The other thing making Detective #880 a little tougher is that it wasn't an immediately hot book... at least not $50+, so most copies would have made their way into collections which are long-term and rarely get resold, unlike "professional flippers" who often have a stack of the same issue for sale (above cover price) for a few weeks/months right after the release. Now, 5 years later, it's a pretty tough book.

It is definitely one of those iconic modern covers. I'm hoping I find one in the collection I bought last month.

I'd put Catwoman #51 in the same category. Nothing special in that issue, but damn...what a cover!
Try finding one on eBay for less that $80-90.

Yeah, I see it. It is an awesome cover, but 90 bucks for it- nevah!!!!Tim wrote:I'd put Catwoman #51 in the same category. Nothing special in that issue, but damn...what a cover!

Greg, thanks for those numbers- I had the idea that the printing was closer to the 100,000. At those numbers, I guess there are a LOT of Batman fans who will fight for it.
I grabbed my copy in a 50 cent smallbox. Along with basically the rest of Snyder's run on Tec (871-881).

Another one that will only get higher, I think, it's New 52 Batman #2. First Court of Owls.
