The Ratchet and Clank mini does well (although this sale is above the norm): https://www.ebay.com/itm/Ratchet-and-Clank-Comic-Books-1-2-3-4-5-6-1-6-DC-Wildstorm-NEW-RARE/163261694366?hash=item260327c19e:g:qDAAAOSw6yJa0VMJ The Uncharted mini does ok (I have seen it go much higher): https://www.ebay.com/itm/Uncharted-1-6-2012-DC-VF-NM-to-NM-Complete-Set/163181763361?hash=item25fe641b21:g:JmIAAOSw6fpbYz-Q Oddly, the TPBs of the above go for good money too. 16 hours ago, BishopT said: The Last of Us comics are pretty tough, too. Of course the early Sonic books and even some of the old Valiant Nintendo books. I thought (hoped) the Metal Gear Solid books would be hotter, especially since I'm a big fan of Ashley Wood's art. I want to say Earthworm Jim does well, too. All of these besides Earthworm Jim have also been at least optioned for movies at some point. I think all are still in the works. R & C has been released.

And I don't get the $50+ sales on the tpbs just because they are out of print, but I suspect video game fans may prefer to read as a tpb. My kid does not like reading floppy comics, he much prefers them in tpb format. 1 ygogolak reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alas when I perused his table at nycc a few years back smallish paintings were like $2k, so that ended that inquiry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I want to say Earthworm Jim does well, too. Valiant Nintendo books are interesting. They had huge print runs (hundreds of thousands), but didn't make many appearances in comic shop inventories. They were primarily sold through Toys 'R Us and similar venues pre-1993 where the limited selections of comics were often seen as "little kid stuff" and disposable, versus all those bagged and boarded direct editions of more "serious" characters from Marvel or DC at the comic shop.

BishopT 411 posts Posted November 15, 2018 Well, I’ve been a rather busy boy these last few days. There was a sale at my LCS last night for UXM 1 and I visited two other shops an hour out of town today. I have purchased I’ll post in other more appropriate threads, but these were all found in $1 inventory, with the exception of the DCUs (which were all $2 a piece and while not particularly rare or valuable, in NM condition). 6 F For Fake, maidenmate91, Wolverinex and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BishopT 411 posts Posted November 24, 2018 (edited) There was a warehouse blowout sale today with a bunch of $1 and $2 books. Spent about $64 on books from those inventories and bought a full run of Akira for $100. These are the $1 and $2 highlights: Edited November 24, 2018 by BishopT 8 TheAlmightyJack, ygogolak, Hey Kids, Comics! and 5 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maidenmate91 2,024 posts Posted November 28, 2018 @BishopT Wow killer pickups. I personally love the cover to the last marvel presents issue. First batman beyond in the DC universe, and those 2 Deathstroke covers! Bravo! Also I didn't know the "Legion" AH cover existed, I will be on the hunt for a copy now. Thanks! 1 BishopT reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheAlmightyJack 9 posts Posted December 5, 2018 My LCS had 50% off all books in their long boxes for Black Friday. Most were only $.50 then, but some were marked for more. This was a group of the better books I picked out. The Hawkeye #1 was a Canadian Price Variant the shop owner didn't notice, that Francis book is in really good condition, the Watchmen issues were like $4-$5 an issue because they were 50% off, the Cheese Heads I can't find anything about except that it's an obscure Canadian indie series so that's cool, the Kamandi is real beat up but it was only $1, the Communist Super Heroes book is just funny, Rat was signed by the creators and I paid $.50 for it, and I generally pick up anything Sam Keith I don't have because I like his work. 2 F For Fake and Brother J reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
