Popular Post fastballspecial Posted April 8, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted April 8, 2018 Just got back from buying some supplies at local shops. Some trend I have seen or sales I have had or watched take place. ASM 798 is pretty much sold out. One shop had a few left and the owner told me he ordered very heavy. One shop limited buyers to one copy each and they still sold out. I sold the out of ASM 795 & 796 2nd prints as well and I ordered a ton for me. (30) 795 1st prints are really hot right now. Thor 705 has sold out locally - And honestly I am glad it has. Aaron has had a stellar run on Thor and the dialogue has been fantastic. FactorX and X-force 82 are moving briskly currently as well from Deadpool movie news. Look to see X-Men 114 continue to sell well again as its currently a $10 book again. New Mutants 8 is coming back down to earth as supply meets demand. Feel sorry for those guys who paid $35-50 for that book. Nice to see Astro City get some attention the past week as well from news on it. Thanos 13-17 does very well. Ride the wave just don't get caught when the wave goes flat. Moon Girl 28 - Selling well.(29 as well just not as much.) A lot of speculation on this book. I am staying away from this book unless I find it cheap. Sink is coming back down to earth so if you think its a hit long term now would be a time to buy. Power Rangers 25 is doing very well. This book doesn't shock me anymore it has a built in huge fan base. New Mutants 14 has sold well for me last few months with several nice copies selling in the $15-25 range raw. A spec bet from me is to find Deathstroke Terminator issues 6-9 from DC comics in the 1990s. City of Assassins storyline. Batman and Deathstroke will be big in a few months. Buy these cheap in $1 box and you will easily selling them $25 for the Sets in high grade. (The current series Deathstroke 30 had a healthy print run as my local shops all have a lot of copies still. I mean like 20 or 30 copies still on the shelf.) Late Tomb Raider issue by Hughes are selling well again. I cant find them anymore cheap hate when stuff like that gets out. Venom 1 Lethal protector is selling well in high grade now used to be a $10 book now its a $20 book with newsstands much higher What If Astonishing X-Men 1 seems to be trending up here lately. One really nice sales others moving up slowly. Spider-Gwen 24 seems to be doing well again or at least sales are trending higher> People still losing their selling slabs at auction. A lot of 9.6 and 9.8s selling for $20-30. Buyers have to love that. Batman 44 has a lot of copies on the rack same as Batman/Deathstroke 30. Maybe DC offered better incentives? Cowboy Ninja Viking still sells impressively well as a No1 or as a set. The Web 1 2009 DC. Cheap book Artgerm cover. If you are a fan pick it up cheap TAH 19-22 Still sell very well for me. 19-21 are $10-15 books while 22 is pulling $70 for me and higher on ebay. Web 97 and 99 still selling well with 97 selling better currently. Unsure if that will stay the same. Will be interesting to see what happens with Valiant with all the upheaval the last couple of months. Batman 655 is one hot potato. I had 3 offers in 10 minutes for my copy. Okay that's it back to packing up orders. ExNihilo, Wolverinex, CKinTO and 11 others 10 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Should be a good show, and lots of books with first appearances throughout all of the series and minis. While I'm a little skeptical about Valiant's creative future in the short term, I have to figure that if DMG can't put together something successful with them, they'll at least try to recoup some of the investment by selling the IP to someone that can.

I view it as history repeating itself. The only thing Valiant has in the favor is the market is gobbling up properties currently. Link to post Share on other sites

Have you seen the cover! Its down right fugly! Also its the B cover, which generally gets little love, unless its stellar art which it most certainly isnt. Link to post Share on other sites
followtheleader Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Personally, I think it's moronic that the lenticular pulls less. One of my shop friends pointed out something to me though. He used Walking Dead 100 as an example. Everyone wants the cover with Negan on it, but nooooo one wants the Silvestri #100. Still pretty dumb, but I get it. Patrick Link to post Share on other sites

Half of the drawing is taken up by... a chair. Now to make a fortune buying up all the lenti cover 13s, trashing the cover, and selling them as "coverless 13A". Link to post Share on other sites
rckstr1253 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 So why is the thanos 13 variant selling for $800 +? I know its the first appearance of the future ghost rider, but surely this book will come back down to earth in a dew months....right? wickedmountain 1 Link to post Share on other sites
fastballspecial Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Its not a book that has any outlook long term in my opinion. Short term its a monster and will continue to be. ygogolak 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Incentive variants usually do well in the short run, along with being a first appearance, cool art and general new comic fan hype all help the price 15 minutes ago, fastballspecial said: Its not a book that has any outlook long term in my opinion.

If the Valiant movies bring comic readers to the line, the already pricey variants will only go higher because there are so few of them out there. Link to post Share on other sites

You add even a few thousand readers and 500 collectors of variants and that means a lot for the Valiant secondary market. While people are looking at Amazing Spider-man 798, Valiants are the books that aren't on their radar. Yet. Link to post Share on other sites
