And SNL was what a lot of the NatLamp crew did when they left NatLamp. and much later..... Legion HQ, comic_memories and OtherEric 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps we should get one of the Golden Age experts to take this to its logical conclusion, and find an obscure 30s / 40s reference? littledoom, Ken Aldred and manetteska 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I mean it’s just movie hype. It was a $400-$500 book all day in 9.8 pre-movie announcement back in the day. So amazing what a movie can do to create excitement for a book. I actually think it has more legs as well. Could see 9.8’s pushing $2K at some point. That may partially depend though if the movie does well and if we see Eternals in future movies. Or a great trailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which was pretty much right up to the moment preceding the movie announcement. Don't get me wrong, I'm a Kirby fan and like the book but it was junk to probably 99% of the collecting world. fast eddie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s crazy to me to think even low or mid grade raw copies were dollar bin books at any point. Such a cool book and with Kirby art can’t take my eyes off of it. I just remember that graded 9.8’s were about $400 or so pre-movie and about doubled overnight post-movie announcement.

the blob Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Is there something about ASM 187 that I am missing? I know I have, in the past, been able to get a little premium for the non-newsstand versions, but I am seeing folks shelling out $15 (including shipping) or more for ieven the newsie, sometimes a chunk more total: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Amazing-Spider-Man-187-FN-5-5-1-Book-Electro-Captain-America-Jim-Starlin/193764384875?hash=item2d1d41e06b:g:wTMAAOSwbDtfueGX ...., that is an outlier, but there are still a few in that range. a few months ago I see a bunch more in the $1-$3 range plus shipping. But i am not seeing wacky CGC prices (admittedly, there are few cgc sales). Electro and Starlin art don't seem to be a good reason to shell out $15 for a mid-grade copy. Dum Dum Dugan? Anyway, I see most of those Spidey's not in high grade with nothing special about them as $1-$2 box books I'd hope tp flip for $5, but maybe I need to readjust my reality.
