Wow!

Stopped at Ed's shop on the way home. Had about 10-12 copies on the shelf around 5 pm. Wanted to buy two but they limited it to one. Had my brother pick up another copy at his shop for me.

There was one in my bag, I put it back on the shelf. Seems like a fad.

Just remembered that DCBS put a free copy of some Spider-man book in with one of my orders. I didn't pay much attention to it (other than checking my invoice to make sure they didn't mispick it in place of something I ordered) but I just checked and it was Edge of Spider-verse #2!!!!

Off to eBay!!!!

They also sent a copy of Spider-verse Team-Up #2

Oh it is the problem is that the vast majority fueling this isn't aware of that cact just yet. Give it a year and see if it's still standing post Secret War when marvel is focusing on going forward.

I hope it lasts at least 3 months... I have 4 Midtown variant covers coming (JSC drawn, two each colour and B&W) and will get them CGCd, fast track) and want to make some $$$!

It's been going on for a while already.

It was a $30 book during Halloween.

[slym2none]

I meant S-G #1...

Snow is gonna mess up this Southern town, I am going back to the shop in Chapel Hill tomorrow to see if they have any #1s left, and to get some Skottie Young variants & blanks.

I chose to not buy 1 of these at the place I was at today.

There will be a few big dealers that will have TONS of these books, so not much action available for me on this book at shows.

[slym2none]

I hope you are wrong for my sake.... but I hope you are right for your sake.

[Elveen]

I only hope I am wrong for your sake.
The market is plenty big for me to not have everything.

Also if it does get real hot, I can always find some down the road.
I was able to get ASM #4 for cover long after it was "hot".

I did get a few Silk#1s.

Totally a fad. No substance to this one.

If you have the opportunity to sell it right now for $30, do it. The hype is just never going to get higher, and people are going to question the ridiculously high praise in a month or two.

Possibly, but if it is not quality and people turn in it I think she has at least a few months before hat happens. This has been going on for 5 months already.

You're probably right, but I think if you are speculating, the price is at or near peak. Sell, Mortimer, sell!

Two Spider-Gwen #1 auctions I'm currently keying on. The top one shows wantedcomix has just raided their price to 4.95, matching thecargohold's 4.99 price. The second one is a seller who has over 280 copies available at 3.99 each. That second one should start making sales again soon, and will have to for this book to move up much.

I bought a lot of 10 NM copies off eBay for $32.99 with free shipping.

Even though it has a large print run, at $3.29 per issue, I think Spider Gwen 1 is worth the pick up. I even jumped on the bandwagon and picked up a CGC 9.8 of EOSV 2 (1st printing) for a little over $200. Her first appearance will certainly reach it's peak and stall sooner than later but I think Marvel will keep Gwen Stacy in the limelight. She was killed off in the early 70's and remained important to Spider-Man fans until the Ultimate series brought her back in the 00's. My guess is she will have far more potential than Silk.

Given the demand for Spider-Gwen 1, it seems weird to me Spider-Girl 1 seemed to have only moderate demand.

I got my Midtown variants with the J. Scott Campbell cover (2 colour, 2 B&W) today! Unfortunately, one of each would not pass 9.8 muster. Does anyone think 9.6s of these would be worth getting graded by the CGC?

*EDIT* - I have listed these two as a set, along with a regular cover & one of the 10"x13" double-sided posters of Silk & SG, on eBay for $99.99 BIN w/ Best Offer. I don't think I will get that for them, but I have seen prices all over the place for the Midtown variants so I am hoping to get close.

I may be in the minority on this one but I don't think any modern book should be sent to CGC unless it looks like a 9.8. Most of the time I don't even risk sending them to CGC for fear of catching the graders on a bad day and coming back with a hard judged 9.6. If it is a book I want, I am willing to roll the dice and pay the market price for a 9.8.

[slym2none]

Tell me about it - I sent in two Sabrina Midtown variants, looked exactly the same, but one is now in a 9.6 holder for some reason while the other is 9.8, like they both should be.

Unfortunately, those books are not hot at all, JSC cover be damned. I totally lost on that sub, at a time when I really can't afford to.

At NYC's Midtown, there're still a lot of Gwens at the Grand Central shop. Limit 1 variant each per customer. Plenty of Silk 1s, too.
