Im seeing some available inventory dry up. Some books that had 5-10 copies on ebay at any given week (that always kept resurfacing in my saved search alerts) now there's only 1-2 of them. I dont know if thats people buying up these books, or people pulling books awaiting thr next buying flurry when those checks arrive.

Just arrived. A mystery box from @1Cool. I sent him a picture of my bookshelves of HCs and Omnibuses and said any good read additions for my shelf were welcome and he didnt disappoint! Cracked it open and lo and behold, signed by the man!

Ooooh those are good reads! -
but you dont have three books, You have some shares valued at a price that corresponds to the value of a book that you dont own. The first biggest problem I see here is in their initial valuation of these offered books. They buy a X-men 1 CGC 9.4 for $134k. They immediately release it for IP at $136,500. The "market price" for their book was set by their own purchase price, nothing else. Then they immediately boost the value $2500 in their valuation for their offer (so assuming a 100% sale of the stock they've made $2500 with NO OTHER MARKET INPUTS).Think of it like a BIN on ebay.

which just helps make it a great buy. One in-universe appearance to bring Hal into the DCU and the book will skyrocket as people forget about that movie *shudder*

Is that a tear on franks right knee?

Please Grade me! So the obvious defect is obvious. How low does it go for the removed tape at the spine and staples used for "reinforcement" and the color loss and left behind discoloration? All attached thankfully. No brittleness. - miraclemet

I just picked up an "entry level" copy today. The more I thought about it the more ridiculous I thought how cheap the book was in lower grades. I picked up what I think is a raw 2.0 or better for under a grand, and couldn't think of another silver age 1st appearance key of a headlining super hero that could be had that cheap! I mean even a DD1 will cost almost twice that in the same grade, and its from 5 years later and has FOUR TIMES the census (4400 vs 950 Blues and Yellows). Why is this book not on everyone's radar like GSX1 and FF48?

right, as I said plenty of comics have retained value with no modern publication reinforcement, but are you saying you'd expect to see no impact? Obviously with iconic collectibles like Action 1, they're above such influences, but what about Batman Adventures 13, or Green Arrow/Green Lantern 76, or the latest modern speculation?
