This seller has one of those rare and fancy "History of Bongo Comics" ashcans in this huge lot:

This Flash Crossfire tpb looks like it might be relatively hard to find at the moment. I haven't really watched trades, and maybe a lot of them go for this price range from this time period.

A few books to keep an eye on:

Detective 871 - 1st Scott Snyder and Jock. This went to a second printing and looks like it was selling around $15-20 a few weeks back, but has cooled a bit recently. This probably would be doing better if they weren't doing 52.

Chew #13:
- This book had 2 printings. Both were readily available for quite some time. Now that the book is over 6 months old, those copies have dried up on ebay. The first print seems to be selling for $5-9 with only 2 currently listed.

There are no copies of the second print that ended recently nor currently up. I may list one to see what happens. I bought a few of the second print because it was the first second print in a while. And it was the first second print to have a different cover. It's an awesome cover too.

Chew 15 is a book that I will also buy whenever I see it for $1. Tri-fold awesome cover. Give it a few years and it's going to be tough to find.

Interesting. It's nice to see books rising in price just because of the quality of the stories.

Looks like I didn't price it high enough. 12 hours and it was gone!

Elveen I was eyeing your Chew 19 SDCC book on Ebay but it got snapped up. If anyone has one they would like to part with lmk.

Anyone know how to find out the print runs on all the Chew issues?

I'd think you could look up most of the regular issues on ICV2.

Sounds like a video game. :?

I doubt there will ever be buzz around another Ultimate book.

My LCS still has almost all of the copies the ordered from Wednesday. I don't think there is really any demand.

Maybe there is if you roll it into a big fat joint and smoke it. Oh boy, a minority to take the place of Peter Parker... how original, right ?

If you are a flipper, keep an eye on The Vault #1 and Severed #1. I think both came out last week.

Caution: I haven't read either so I can't say what I think of the potential longevity. In fact, both are minis with Vault being only 3 issues. Therefore, I wouldn't bother speculating on either.

I sold 5 copies at 9.99 ea on the Bay the first week. It's now cooled off, as far as being able to get much over cover on it.

Hellboy the Fury #3 variant. This just came out 2 days ago. Retailers had to order a minimum of 20 copies and also had to order as many #2s and #3s as #1s (i.e. if they ordered 20 copies of #1s, they had to order 20+ copies of #2s and 20+ copies of #3s. It also features a major turning point in the story (google for spoiler alert). My LCS only orders like 3 copies per month so no luck here. Up to $183 with 50 min left. :o
