Silly man - why in the world would they use comic-book stories for comic-book characters in a comic-book movie?

Hey all you of my speculator breathern, Diamond has sent a email telling people to pull Harley Quinn annual 1 (both covers! :o ) off the shelves tonight. I have a few but you may want to get a few quick because I feel a "million mothers" type protest and as we all know recalled DC books do alright...lol. Feel free to converse.

Super interesting tip. Must be the scratch and sniff cannabis. I went out on a limb and bought a 4 cover set (for less than cover price shipped). The eBay action on this book is red hot.

Big thanks whether it pans out or not! I would probably have picked this book up had I known about it (which I didn't).

I should update... 2 stores so far have confirmed getting that email. I have not confirmed anymore yet, and with Halloween (my kids are wearing me out!) I may not get anymore info till next week. Can anyone else check with their LCS a and see if this went out to everyone?

Today while setting up at comikaze, I saw a dealer, that is NOT, historically overpriced on his books with 1st Carol Danvers at $300.

The price of that book is Kris Kross!

The Christmas tree was supposed to be a "international" and "kid friendly" version. It even has a different bar code.

Since last weekend, I had been watching a 9.0 on the Comiclink auction that closed Wednesday. Was willing to pay a bit more than it has seemed to be going for recently, but was hoping a bid somewhere from 600-700 would do it. Then Tuesday happened, and here's where it ended:

I had the first Carol Danvers in one of my ebay saved searches but never pulled the trigger on any of them. Generally speaking the higher grade ones would end around $100 but they've really spiked up with the announcement.

I managed to pick up three in the VG–FN range for between 50–70 each. (Actually, I have two; the third should be on its way now. I pulled the trigger on the last one about 15 minutes before the movie announcements started.)

Check out how many watchers...

:lol:

The auction started out at $5 w/ a $7 BIN. he got about 50 watchers (most from the CGC board in a weird & funny "trick) and upped the price $1 each way.
