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.400yrs wrote:A few books to keep an eye on:

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

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.depluto wrote:Any buzz on Ultimate Fallout 4?

Re:
Good tip. Here's a copy of Severed #1.400yrs wrote: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.

Re: Discuss Hard To Find Or Currently Hot Modern Comics
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.
