Cyberforce V2 10 dark or light backgrounds on cover, 18 Silvestri or Banning/Finch cover, 27 Quesada or Finch cover
Cyberforce V3 1 standard cover, B/W Pat Lee, color Pat Lee, David Finch, V3 2 Pat Lee cover, Silvestri cover, Paradise Comics Toronto Comiccon, V3 3 sketch variant, V3 6 sketch variant
Cyberforce/X-Men Silvestri or Pat Lee cover (Top Cow, not Image)
Savage Dragon mini 1 green, yellow, or white logo
ongoing: 1/2 gold,

That's what is called "platinum", and it's exactly that...a silver/platinum foil.
Just like Ash 1/2 Plat.
There are two versions....one with and one without. One's the regular, one's the incentive.

I don't know anything about the others (though thanks for submitting the info on them), but the Darker Image lately has been getting an easy $15 before shipping, especially if the seal is unbroken.billandedsdeals wrote:Hoping I can get a little help here...went to my LCS today and they had a few Image ashcans (no Maxx), so I picked them up for $40.00 in trade (avg $5.00 each)...how did I do???![]()

Darker Image ashcan is decent. Probably a $10-$20 book, under the right circumstances. One sold for $50 a couple months ago.billandedsdeals wrote:Hoping I can get a little help here...went to my LCS today and they had a few Image ashcans (no Maxx), so I picked them up for $40.00 in trade (avg $5.00 each)...how did I do???![]()

Gen 13 is a decent $2-$3 book.
Stormwatch, Deathblow, Team 7, Wetworks, all 50 cents-$1.
Wildcats - $2.
So. Not so good.

Mmmm...Pitt ashcans....Jay Tomio wrote:I started being on of you weirdos too and ammassed quite a few worthless red Pitt ashcans signed by Keown, a Lee signed Wildcats (which I want to say is blue but don't quote me on that, a Deathblow Chicago Con variant, V/Shadowhawk (I think this is Dynamic Forces edition - I think it's signed by Texeria or some other rubbish penciler).

The Total Eclipse RRP...this one?I have a few more but everytime I see one I want its isolated in a seller's inventory and shipping turns good deal into no goes quick. Also the aforementioned Total Eclipse RRP (which I guess has to be rather recent).
That's actually a rather rare book.
Just a few.I've hear there are some Maxx aschans as well..

If you plan on flipping them at all, I might be interested in the Darker Image and the Wetworks ashcans!!billandedsdeals wrote:Darker Image (red cover # 1415)

That's ok....any time you're dealing with books with print runs of 5,000 or less, even if it's not worth it NOW, it always has potential.billandedsdeals wrote:ZephyrWasHOT!! wrote:Darker Image ashcan is decent.

Ashcans are not getting much attention right now, but im about to unleash my collection on the UK shows to put that right.ZephyrWasHOT!! wrote:That's ok....any time you're dealing with books with print runs of 5,000 or less, even if it's not worth it NOW, it always has potential.billandedsdeals wrote:ZephyrWasHOT!! wrote:Darker Image ashcan is decent.

That will have to depend on who's looking for em. I recently sold a Gen 13 #0 ashcan for $50 on Ebay. So there's at least some type of demand for them. Chaos Comics ashcans also seem to do well here and there.Draco wrote:Ashcans are not getting much attention right now, but im about to unleash my collection on the UK shows to put that right.ZephyrWasHOT!! wrote:That's ok....any time you're dealing with books with print runs of 5,000 or less, even if it's not worth it NOW, it always has potential.billandedsdeals wrote:ZephyrWasHOT!! wrote:Darker Image ashcan is decent.

Theyre really nice, but what has this got to do with Image incentive books?
