My memory is alittle short but I think I had this Witnessed back in 2012, long story short CGC notified the Witness, who then notified me asking whether I want to receive a "SS Slab" graded at 0.5 or a "Qualified Slab" designation, Needless to say I was bumed-out. Hopefully the IP goes right into filming, as I'm curious to know what this would go for lately.

I have 2 or 3 of that issue. The pages are inverted I thought it was weird as hell until I found another copy with the same issue. I wondered if anyone else had any.

No they would be profits. Because Divad offers high-grade in-demand books and I'm pretty confident in saying he likely doesn't pay much for them. But instead of selling them for profit at or slightly above the market price he'll sit and wait for the top dollar which often means waiting 6 months and re-listing the book over and over again.

Yeah, but he does get some dizzying results from that approach on $2 books.

I was more thinking if he sold them for the quick buck there wouldn't be profits. Not so much the hot stuff, but the generic stuff he sometimes gets nice prices on where I see the same book in what might be the same shape selling for $2. Sometimes it pays off to hold out.

I'm sure divad's business model will change at some point in time . . . but for now it will stay that of a lazy man. New listings and shipping is work, and between my real job and my family, time is a luxury. :grin: It's a good thing I enjoy it! The thrill of the hunt and the satisfaction of the sale!:whee:

That’s what I thought. I feel the years biggest surprise was the Spider-Gwen Ghost 1 Hyung Lee Variant. I passed opening week at 189. Then in a couple of days it popped off. 

Thanks for the heads up. I’ll hold picking this one up at its current 200 #.

Back on track...………..

Infinite Crisis 3 & 5 (especially the Beetle cover of 5) are on fire. Just sold a pair for $40. 3 is the first Jaime Reyes and 5 is the first time he becomes the new Blue Beetle. DC just announced he's in development for a solo movie. 

Oh FFS. Really? TO THE LONG BOXES!

Yup. Spent about an hour the other day going through misc. boxes in my attic to find that I only have one copy of #3 and no #5s. Thankfully, I found another #3 at 2nC later that day and still haven't found a #5. I may list one of my #3s but I'm not sure if this is a hold or not...

Big Week in Modern Comics heating up on eBay: 

Marvel announced that it was fast tracking Shang-Chi Master of Kung Fu.  His books are heating up.  The Russo Brothers did an informative Q&A and proclaimed that they were done with super-hero movies after Avengers 4 unless and until Kevin Feige approached them about a Secret Wars franchise (although I generally discourage debate about first appearances, I am interested in what people think the market will determine is the Beyonder's first appearance).  Into the Spiderverse is getting rave early reviews.  Many believe that EOSV 5 Penni Parker's first appearnace is undervalued although I've heard nothing about her role in the film.  I have heard people say that Nick Cage steals the show with his Spider-man Noir character (I think the B cover is undervalued for a number of reasons that I won't get into).  Prices on EOSV 2 CGC 9.8 are high and I am disappointed that I am not holding any copies of that book.  The post credit scene has leaked: 

Spoiler

Spiderman 2099 - there is already a bump in his books with big attention going to the Toy Biz 2001 Classics cover that is white.  This book has been selling for upwards of $100 raw and it is next to impossible to find in the wild.  Trust me.  I've been looking. :frustrated:

There was also reports that Valkyrie was getting looked at for her own film in phase 4 but this was quickly overshadowed by a definitive statement regarding the future of Shang-Chi as a film property.  I'm not sure where the Valyrie news came from.  This was first reported after her character did not appear in Avengers 4.  Nevertheless, her first appearnce and key variant cover spiked.    

DC announced that it is developing a Zatanna film and a Blue Beattle film (Reyes).  Both books are seeing some heat with Blue Beatle appearing to receive more attention than Zatanna.  Infinite Crisis 3 and 5 have sold well.  Last time I checked there wasn't much movement on the Adam Hughes Zatanna covers (in her solo series of the Catwoman series).  Aquaman has received positive reviews coupled with underhanded comments.  Shazam has received little press attention, but hopefully this changes with the release of his new series this week.  

The Immortal Hulk books continue to sell well.  The Alex Ross cover art is amazing with issues 2 and 3 leading the pack.  

It was also reported that Hack/Slash was optioned for TV/film again.  In light of the resurgance of horror comics of late, I think there is long term potential here.  I think the big undervalued books are issues 16 and 17 of the DDP series that Diamond's lawyers directed them not to distribute.  I don't know what the print run is on these books, but I can't imagine a direct distribution from the publisher was substantial.  There are a ton of amazing covers for this series.  Although interest spiked early, it faded away quick.  This is one of the few properties I think has real potential in Hollywood.  

I'm sure there was a lot more, but that's what stuck out to me.  Happy hunting you bunch of savages! :flipbait:

I assume it's because you put it as Blue Beetle (Reyes)? so there was more than one Blue Beetle? I think that I got it now....

It all stems from a comic spec media outlet (that's a really nice way to say it) reporting the "news" with those issues identified as the key issues.  They were selling the issues as a pair last time I checked on eBay.  The spec market is bannanas right now.

There is nothing substantial about the recent Valkyrie news. The actress said she wanted a movie with the director of Creed II. There are actors all the time saying they want to play this or that character. Doesn't mean anything.

I was trying to give the benefit of the doubt to the "news" source that he did report based upon that old article.  If that is the source of his reporting, I am very disappointed by the reporting.  He has been dead on with some of his stuff before it hit other press sources so, I'll continue to give him the benefit of the doubt.  Only time will tell.  I, of course, remain very cautious about actually spending money on this character as a potential spec/invest opportunity.
