Static #1 platinum edition 2 2

[williamblood]

have searched online but cant find information regarding the difference beside foil letters. was this a retailer incentive book, a 1 per a store giveaway. why does the regular cover sell for $5 but this is $60+

[Shoomanfoo]

You have all the difference you need. Platinum was a more limited print than the other 2 covers though certainly not rare nor was it 1 per store.

Those books aren’t selling for 60...there actually sitting with no buyers or interest.

Why? Most dealers are just greedy and overprice there books for no good reason on eBay in hopes of a sucker.

I pick them up between $15 to $30 when I am lucky to find one.
More difficult to find then one thinks. The price goes up and down
based on TV/Movie news for character.

Yea I’d pay 15 all day but people are asking an absurd price for this for no reason. 

Reboot has been talked about forever and nobody even cares anymore.

My favorite issue is the last issue Mobius painted cover.

Last 5 or so issues are extremely hard to find. I have found 45 twice, but 44 only once.

I actually prefer the regular edition, regardless of any print limits - it's a more attractive cover.

Right, and a recent high grades have been selling for $30-40. So that was the reason for my question. People are saying they would pay $15-20. I would as well. Double your money seems a given on a flip yet I don't know why someone would sell for half market price on eBay.

Static has a HUGE following. More than just a cult phenomenon. This is because the fans truly love the character. 
This is a case where collector speculation won’t interfere with the organic price climb of the book. No bubble here. 
Although us collectors appreciate the odd and rare in a popular title (last issue/newsstands/variants), the average reader/fan will ALWAYS seek the 1st appearance/first issue

That’s why issue #1 has been a $5-15 book for a couple of years now. 

I expect this to be a Spawn #1 in the next couple of years. Movie or no movie

15-20 bucks.

theres no reason for premium to be triple guide.

Me too

Seeing something coming someday is not enough to pay a 200 or 300% premium over guide.

In that case any dreck can sell for a premium based on a “maybe”

Guide is eBay. People are paying $30-40. Or are you saying Overstreet? If so, can I see what  you're selling? I would surely be a buyer on some.

I don’t sell comics. I buy and I collect. 

I certainly would not buy this book for 40.00

Guide is not eBay.

ebay is hype price 

[Shoomanfoo]

And yes overstreet is guide and there still shops that sell half guide or guide for popular books or keys.

Yea I’m still getting used to comic pricing and high premiums for no good reason.

Im old fashion in my buying habits but that has served me well by making good sound buys that make sense.

I do not mind for example...

Black Knight was cast by John Snow.

This is solid information on a character so I payed a premium for this book because I’m a fan.

200-300% sure.

For a Static book? No thank you.

Nothing wrong with that. I'm just saying the market does not react to your specific wishes. You can choose to watch the market and react at the right time, if you wish.
