Glad no one bought 1st Quantum and Woody Retailer Review b/w copy off me last month at local comicon for $10. Heating up on eBay to $150.

May have accidentally found 1st Valerian UK movie appearance on front cover of an English USA comic although Valerian did have a one shot in English Heavy Metal mag Jan, 1981:

 

Looks like Valerian appeared first in 1969...same Valerian?

Yes, same Valerian (but in French?) graphic novels that George Lucas 'borrowed' themes from for Star Wars 1977.

With the official New Warriors cast announcement, Speedball's first appearance seems to be taking a spike back up. Squirrel Girl's was already high. Night Thrasher might see a spike.

I'm expecting those three to be the breakout characters.

night thrasher was my fav new warriors character. Taylor was under appreciated. Thor 411 is the book to have

anyone see the cloak and dagger preview? Looks pretty good IMO

Whoever thought Flash 1 (1987) would be a $100+ book???

...in CGC 9.8.

it's hardly "a $100 book" and when it comes to 9.8's the $50-$100 range, people are just paying for the grading fees, the legwork, the 9.4-9.6 masses that come back or are rejected, back and forth mailing, etc.

So, you're saying any 30 year-old slabbed 9.8 is worth $50-100? I'm not into that myself, but it sounds about right.

That's exactly what I'm saying - there is a "cost" associated with getting a 9.8 and sellers have to make money.

ALL the RAZOR #1's from FATHOM PRESS (her 1st appearance) have disappeared from EBAY.

I get what you're saying here...but I disagree with some of this. As a buyer, I couldn't care less how much "legwork" you've put in or how many books you've sent in to get graded before you received that magic 9.8. I this example there are close to 200 on the census so it certainly isn't rare. Cost to slab is probably $25-30 all in (fee + shipping).

If I hit a 9.8 on first try, that doesn't mean my book is worth less than someone that hit it after 30+ rejects. The difference in the value may have a 'TV speculation' premium attached to it, because I certainly don't feel like Flash #1 (2007) is worth the $70 delta, but it certainly doesn't have a 'legwork/reject' premium associated with it.

What makes this 109.00?

And this 575.00?

Aside from key issues that are 30 years old I just don't think that you can get 50-100 on 9.8. More reasonable would be between $40-$70 I think. Still better than a buck legwork included- See below

It was announced last week that Rob Cohen is writing/directing a Razor movie.

I think what he means is that out of the $100 the book goes for, $X goes to cover the time spent to pay back the OO for the legwork, so the value of the book itself isn't $100, it just goes for that in order to cover costs.  I don't really think his distinction has merit because recouping costs is factored into every slabbed book's cost, whether it's Flash 1 or Avengers 1.  it only makes a difference percentage-wise

I don't think it's worth buying anything at this point. How's that Scout option doing these days?

Oh for sure, don't get me wrong, I'm not running out to buy Razor myself. But it was a pretty big story, made the AV Club, and other fan news sites of the like, so it's definitely on the radar right now, whether it actually comes to pass or not.
