If the next couple of issues turn out to be poor people could be buying some expensive bargain bin fodder. :lol:

In "Other item info" section on right, click on "40 sold" next to History.

A buyer bought multiple times so I aggregated those together.

If someone happens to see the second print, I could use a copy. 7 stores and nothing. :?

Just sold a VF/NM copy for $26.49 shipped a few hours after listed. I guess the dcbservice listing didn't kill the interest.

That is good to know. I am holding on to my last copy. I've given up trying to call and find another. I did it about 20 times, no joy.

I've got another NM to NM+ copy up at $39.99. I doubt I'll be lowering it. Including this one, I'm down to 6 copies at least 2 of which I'll be keeping in my collection no matter what. The ones I've sold have paid for all the copies I have and then a bit more.

I may have found 2 copies of the second print online for a bit less than cover. Not holding my breath though.

So looking at the last handful on completed auctions.

The last bit have sold for just under $30 (not counting the auctions that ended low today).

I wonder if this book has hit it apex and is on it's way down.

It would be interesting to see the trajectory of Chew #1. :hm:

so do I need to go buy a couple copies of this issue? Is the print run higher? I remember Chew #2 first prints when for about $10 when they first came out.

The print run is probably going to be higher for #2 since they can adjust print numbers much closer to release date now, but not terribly high. In fact, #2 has already sold out at Diamond and is going to a second print already.

Chew #2 sold for about $10 for a while. I just checked and now first prints of Chew #2 are going for $20.

I wouldn't go crazy with #2s, but you never know, I guess. Everyone will probably snatch these up as the word is out on the book.


I was surprised at the icv2 number for MG 1. It was about 2,500 higher than I expected. #1 sold almost 3K more than Chew #1. If it was lower in print run like Chew, I'd think it would already be a $50 book like Chew #1 was.
