I’m assuming the first Knull reprint, which really has been around the same price since July, honestly. First Host 3 2nd print has been outrageously priced for a good while.

#3 2nd print of the current series.  That book came out 10/18 according to the CGC example I just looked at:

Just 2 weeks ago or so you could have bought copies on ebay for $20

looks like it's been a rather expensive comic for a while now

Yeah it’s actually not as pricy as it was a couple months ago.

365 I think peaked last last weekend (not this past weekend) There still aren’t nearly as many for sale as the direct edition, but the sold prices on newsstands seem to be inconsistent.

I did pick up two more newsstand copies at the little show here in town, just in case this has legs. There have to be tons of these out there, even as newsstand edition. I think the real thing is finding a NM or NM+ newsie of the book.

Shhh dont blow the scam with facts.

Heating up:

Possessed #1 from clover press Steve Niles

TRANSFORMERS vs TERMINATOR #1A 1st print

Venom #3 2nd print getting pricey-no surprise really

FF Antithesis #2

I make it pretty much a rule to never buy an FF book older then 1976 for the most part.

I looked at the highest auctions in the past few days. 2 of them had the same highest bidder driving up the price. Definitely shilled, that said there is potential for the book. A natural sale tends to land in the $25-35 range.

This Antithesis #2 could be a good long term spec if you can find it for cover, though.

He's not wrong. Other than FF 211 (1979) what FF book has kept his value after a spike published after 1976? You can get to a FF run in $1 boxes and basically stop once you get to the Terrax issue. MAYBE you buy some of the Byrne books with Doom/Galactus just because but for the most part there isn't a spec/flip book in the run for the next 40 years. I guess the Marvel Zombies Ultimate issues or FF 15 with Valeria Von Doom are decent books, but that's it.

When will the other thread be unlocked? Or is It closed forever?

I read it as those are the only ones he buys.

Yeah you will have that from time to time. Its just a title that I don't have any interest even 
as a speculator unless its absolutely dirt cheap.

Now I didn't think about Zombies that book I buy constantly UF 21-23 cheap.

Early Nova app sells well and maybe the Nova Corps 205. Its a just a rule for me
especially when I am pressed for time at a convention.

Early Invincible books are really really doing well now.

I've been thinking the same thing.  Really kicking myself for selling the 2nd near full run I sold for chump change.

I need to find these in my garage. I actually didn't remember finding TWO number 1's for $1. I know I sold 1 (and none of the other issues), but I'm hoping the other is out there (though I don't think so). I was waiting for the show to come out, but maybe I should sell one of each now and wait on the tohers. I've seen the first three episodes through the Amazon Preview program and they're REALLY good. 

From 10/24/2018...

Today was a good day. One of my local LCS has their annual Halloween sale and had 15 or so sorted $1 boxes and some miscellaneous stuff out for the first time. I saw a bundle with an Invincible 1 on top that said 50 issues from 1-76 missing chunks for $40. Obviously I grabbed that as fast as possible as I’d never found one in the wild and actually never owned any of the early issues. As I was digging through the boxes, I stumbled upon Imvincible 1-104 with some multiples of issues before 20. I couldn’t believe my luck! TWO Invincible 1’s for a steal (not to mention all the other quality isssues). Turned out the bundle had 1-13 in it as well!
