What's up with Secret Wars #8?
1 1

43 posts in this topic

Any theories why SW#8 is has pretty much doubled it's price over the last month or so?  The only thing I can think of are rumors of the MCU's long goal of doing a SW with the Russo brothers but that gossip has been around for awhile.  This one ends in 5 minutes....:popcorn:

Edit: Wow final bid was $545 for a Direct sales copy

I'm a little surprised no one has any thoughts/comments on this...hm

I have some thoughts but probably I'm not the most knowledgeable.   I surf some more casual comic forums, and one of the most popular book sets that New collectors seek out are the first black costume spideys.  ASM 252 has shot way up over the last couple of years, so I think sw8 is the next, almost as good, substitute.

I am a Spidy fan but I never really liked the covers of ASM 252 and MTU 141.  I always thought SW#8 had the better cover (plus it had the origin) but alas it didn't come out first.

I didn’t realize all copper keys were doing so well.

TMNT 1 and Albedo 2 have started to skyrocket into another universe. I wasn't sure if copper from the big 2 might go up as well, but seems to be the case.

And newsstand copies are jumping even more now as well. My UXM 266 newsstand 9.8 topped $1300 last month on Clink. Direct editions are less than half of that.

All prints of TMNT are going up right now. Just my luck as I was in the market for one. 

My guess is that people who had those comics growing up are now at an age where they can cherish them as "investments" and heirlooms and have the disposable income to get them.

Yeah I was lucky enough to jump on this copy in time. They are in another stratosphere at this point!

On a similar note. I’ve been getting annoyed with buyers (not collectors) on Clink haha. They are paying over GPA on Clink (mostly late bronze /early copper) then post them like double/triple on eBay. Then the books just sit there...

I understand wanting to make a buck but if you want to invest play the stock market lol
