Outselling it by triple numbers in price and volume. That wasn't the case when the hype was on

You are aware that regular 1st print 9.8 are outselling this 2nd HTF RARE print

consistently... and HTF LOW LOW PRINT RUN TOUGH BLACK COVER I mean, this is a lesson to all those joining our broadcast: A book just doesnt become valuable because of things that are attributed to scarcity. There has to be REAL demand first

Fixed

I was just going by what I saw on the bay (which isnt saying much I know) I wonder if DC authorized this at all

Speaking of chromium covers etc, has anyone noticed Gambit #1 gold cover close at some ridiculous prices lately? This used to be an average $40 book last year, its now flirting with $200 regularly and over 400 for 9.8

I think its a perfect comparison. Both ASM300 & Spiderman 1 were known books that came out in the late 80/90. The chromium editions came out 10/12 years after they were well established/quite collectible. Tec880 seems to be selling for 50, and as @ygogolak mentioned, its close to what the retailer was asking for cover. Im not suggesting it would fetch 10 times the price in the future, that remains to be seen, mainly depending on demand for the book and future reproduction of said variant. But based on current demand and low print run of 1,000, I can see how it could get to those levels

So how long has this been going on for https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=Detective+Comics+%23880+virgin&_sacat=63&LH_TitleDesc=0&_sop=13&LH_Complete=1&LH_Sold=1&LH_TitleDesc=0&_pgn=2 Will this become a key ala ASM300 chromium/Spiderman 1 platinum? or is this will be forgotten tomorrow

Warrior 1 & deadline 1 are impossible in 9.4+

On second thought it really looks like it's not gonna be worth it unless you're considering subbing them for investment purposes. 254 and 232 are the only ones that seem to sell for over 100. All the rest are 50 and below.

These 2 were pretty good catches. But I wasnt home at the time https://www.ebay.com/itm/Flash-96-CGC-9-8-Mark-Waid-Mike-Wieringo/123400372880?hash=item1cbb3c4290:g:iqUAAOSwu7xbstmU https://www.ebay.com/itm/Flash-95-CGC-9-8-Mike-Wieringo-and-Mark-Waid/123400337747?hash=item1cbb3bb953:g:9qQAAOSwHcFbstF7

pre screen is the way to go. Grab the 9.8 candidates and sub them. I wouldn't spend more than that on them. If you had to press them it may not be worth it unless you can do it on your own

I was referring to a black label as a different division for mature content. Which is what DC intends to do

Exactly. My point was why would the make a big deal of it when they never had in the past when it mattered more
