I was actually shocked that the seller pitted me against a different buyer for that listing I just mentioned. I was positive he would take the offer for 40$ and was laughing my off when he said he has another buyer interested in the set and shot me an offer for $80. I told him thanks but no thanks. The next thing I knew it was sold for 75 within minutes after we last spoke

That listing is interesting because it's clearly an Elfquest collector, early, since it has 1st printings for #3 - #5 and #1... but even that collector, whomever it was, didn't get a 1st print of #2.

Earlier you said #2 1st prints are available and #1 1st prints aren't, but that collection was reversed.

Yet the buyer paid $75 bucks for it. 

Further demonstrates there is more demand for #1 1st prt

Just as an fyi, my collection of 1st prints starts at #7, so I am always (although infrequently) looking for any 1st print from 1 to 6.

It would be nice if people could at least pretend they aren't stupid.

Spider-Ham is pretty funny and actually has a following, and sure is to pick up with the push of the spider-verse movie and comics

I like how Spider-Ham is actually earlier than the Simpsons Spider-Pig, so this is a case where the Simpsons didn't do it first.

Without getting into it too much, I think its pretty clear we're all waaaaay past pretending anymore.

So like over month ago I was buying some x-men related books from ebay and to "save" in postage fees I looked what else the seller had. He had NM starslayer 2 for like 9€. So I bought that. Soon I kinda got a buyers remorse that did I really need that etc. so I checked local market website if there is starslayer 2 for sale to maybe justify my  purchase. I found a lot with unknown comics that had starslayer 2 and the comics lot was 8€ and cos the seller had also Big Hero 6 which is kinda X-men related for 8€ I was like maybe I just buy those also. He had also couple spider-man issue for 5€. I was like well spider-man wedding issue is kinda nice and there is one of those anniversary covers and well spider-ham..  So I bought those also. Because the seller was also living the same city I thought that maybe just meet seller and save couple bucks in postage fees. It took a month because of my and sellers work schedule but it was kinda funny to see now that spider-ham is the most valuable book of the bunch

Didn't Hectors book sell for $187 or am I missing something with all the clicks necessary to see it.

Oh - I see.  He sold a 346 and 347 Newsstand for a nice hefty premium.  He said he didn't get many 9.8s that go around so good for him.

I did great on these and honestly thought the buyers were the typical shillers trying to manipulate GPA but both paid and books have been received.

I've been doing really good with copper newstands in high grade.

My copies of Marvel Tails #1 and Peter Porker #12 are on their way to get slabbed along with Heathcliff #12. Those Star / Marvel 25th anniversary covers are TOUGH!

Once again, the conservative Peter Porker heavy portfolio pays off for the Star comics investor!

Most people laugh at Spider-Ham.  It’s a “throw away” title.  It’s genuinely tough in HG.  

I love the book.  It’s the first comic I had a subscription to.  It’s a “niche” as it gets, to be sure.  But, there are collectors.  I buy copies whenever I find them.  

I wouldn’t be surprised if Disney ends up making a show out of it.
