Moderns that are heating up on ebay!

I'm missing those two along with #1 to finish the run. I see 155 probably once a year or so. 150-154 just my opinion seem harder to find. -

There are several books in there that will still sell well. From memory 44, 50 variants , 81, 110 are some that come to mind. That being said sets of Invincible are selling well because people are buying them to read as well. -

That's reasonable. I will use NM+ when I think a book is perfect and that's about it. But I think the important part and honestly sometimes why a book sells is putting a grade on it. Otherwise how do you achieve the price you are asking? Because you graded it. -

Not really lol. I am just a little fish in a big pond. When I started on here 17 years ago there were several sellers that would share sales and market information that was invaluable to me as a starting seller. Just doing the same. -

Copper's Heating/Selling Well on Ebay
fastballspecial replied to fastballspecial's topic in Copper Age Comic Books
hardly. what's the difference between 57 and 62? 5 more years of job misery. For me it wouldn't be retirement anyway, I'd hang a shingle and do low stress stuff like trusts and estates and real estate closings, probably make a lot less, not work as many hours, and sell comics. and paint pictures of psychotic clowns. Agreed I have no desire for that either. Find a low stress job, pay the bills, sell some comics and cruise into retirement instead of crashing in looking around and asking what do I do now? -
There is alot of subplot to John Walker being left out. The Watchdogs storyline is completely left it which is what send Walker over the edge. The TV series is too short to tell the story, but its well worth reading. Walker is someone who is manipulated from the beginning and you feel sorry for him in the end. I am interested to see how they resolve this.
