If/when CGC puts "women in refridgerator," "comicsgate" or something to that effect on the label - that book suddently becomes collectable.  Time will tell, but I think this issue is important in much the same way the bludgening of Jason Todd to death is, or Batman: Damned #1 is important to comic history.   If collectors are anything they are archievests and this is why we are seeing all the excitement about Walmart Superman #7.  Collecting comics is really about preserving and sharing popular culture, art and stories.  I believe that these events are going to be increasingly important to collectors as the years turn into decades, but only time will tell.     

Sure, when CGC stars putting it on the label maybe they will care. If the book had been recalled or banned in Wyoming (all 3 copies getting pulled off the shelves), then they might care.

Needless to say, at a total cost of $5-$9 after shipping on ebay I am not going there. I'll buy them in the cheap boxes in the wild, but I buy GLs around that era anyway from the cheap-o box.

There are like 5 pages on eBay full of giant superman #7's .... There is a glut now and I don't think it'll survive...

Granted I bought 1 copy, but I don't have a lot of confidence....

Someone is trying to get a $20 a pop for them (not the DC universe ones, of which there seem to be plenty too) on ebay

I don't think this is that farfetched

When 20 others have them at $3-4 it is silly. They aren't claimed to be 9.9s or anything.

I pick them up for $0.50 - $1 whenever I see them, which is the price I'd recommend to anyone buying them. No reason to spend more at this point.

I agree all grab the dcu variant in NM but other then that all pass I see the book everywhere.

As far as Batman Damned goes as soon it was announced it was oversized I was done with it.

48-51 are everywhere too, but they sell nicely, particularly as a set

I think, "that's what she said" are the words you are looking for.

This is just payback for me in John's sales thread this week.

And that's why he's called THE BATman . . .

Kevin Smith made a comment recently that "It would be cool if WB made a Batman Beyond movie with Michael Keaton as elder Bruce Wayne."  - I am paraphrasing but I noticed that Batman Beyond 1 has doubled in price for CGC 9.8 issues since December/November

Top seller last year by a mile was the Infinity War set.  I probably sold 25 - 30 sets last year for about $40 - $50 a set.  Venom Lethal Protector 1- 6 also did great at the end of the year and I moved 15 - 20 sets at about $40 - $45 a set.  Individual books I sold a ton of New Mutants 100 (15 copies at $10 - $15 a piece).
