may become. 

 

Im well aware at how important “it may” become.

I do actually read comics

With the amount of copies that are selling for those prices I doubt it's flippers selling to flippers am sure there are plenty band wagon hoppers jumping on for the ride.

 

Certainly makes me want to put up my copies for sale, curse this collecting thing

[BishopT]

I’ve already sold half of my copies, haha... I think I may do one more set and hold the rest.

I am kind of surprised it’s doing this well, though. It really was something I saw everyone pick up that Wednesday.

My fault many don't ready anymore just rely on information from spec sites.

Sure thang Mr Savvy investor.

anymore master tips?

my 2 cents:

1) you never lose money by making money

2) although I try to be up to date with what's hot and not, I sometimes sell too early, or too late, or am not aware of a particular book's hotness; but I remember rule number one and move on.

In @wormboy's situation, he dealt with a fellow boardie, felt good about his transaction and he's moved on. good for him.

In the 90's Galactus had a new herald every few years.  Nobody cared much back then.  I don't see why people are caught up in it now.  Sell, sell, sell.

Thor #5 is still on fire it seems, I really thought with all the attention this series is getting plenty people would have put it on their pull lists but the regular cover is selling for up to $38 and the 1:25 last sale was $149.95

It was a $15 $20 book, then some websites tied it into the mcu and bam. 

I don't have any, if I did I would probably sell. Although a lot of times I sell too soon, but rather do that then be late.

Aliens true first appearance would be in Heavy Metal May and June of ‘79. There’s also some appearances in Cracked Magazine for those who want it all.

I wouldn't pass one up cheap, but a larger book I don't usually chase them as they are not as desirable. 
There is value though just look at Starlord and some others.

I know it's not Modern (but then neither are the other Aliens and Predator books being discussed), but any thoughts on the significance of Uncanny X-Men #155, the first appearance of the Brood, which were basically an Aliens rip-off? Aliens/X-Men might be a cool crossover.

I started reading comics/collecting as a kid with X-Men #211, and this has long been one of my favorite X-Men covers. After that Brood arc the title jumped the shark, unfortunately.

Spotted this one on the weekend. With the market being so pump and dump these days, I'm guessing this could maybe become a thing. Lord help us all.

It was a thing when it came out if I recall correctly. I sold all of my copies at two shows for $10 and then $15 apiece.

I'm more partial to deadpool #40 alien homage cover, and merc with a mouth #6. That said wouldn't pay more than $10 for either.

That was the good old days when DP was hot and you could get $10 - $20 for regular issues from that Marvel Now run. It was crazy back then.

I would also keep an eye on the sdcc Alien isolation video game tie in promo comic. Value was already high, this exposure could push it even higher. They are not easy to find under $70.
