Another James Payette buy back when comics were still affordable and another early fox book that grabs you from across the room .it cost me the lordly sum of 225.00 image.thumb.jpg.6a5f6de7a5bf5ebd495d1461d98dbdb3.jpg

Arguably one of the best in the run! :cloud9:

I DID NOT WIN THIS but thought I would share the result. Pretty darn rare Beetle with a classic cover you can even see the Fox symbol whited out on the front and the back cover is an add for Catman Comics.

Anyways, brought in $3848 or close to 25 times guide!! This book is so cool and has awesome interior splashes with the giant snake and the graveyard scene too including a double splash that is just killer!! If anyone has a lead to an interior I have the cover I know i’ve mentioned it before but it never hurts to ask again (and again:))

I was a bidder on this for a while, but ended up spreading the cash I don’t have around. I love these two Samson WWIICover books!

Mail call!

I guess my mail man must steal all of my nicer mail because I never receive books like this in my mail box.  :sumo:

Just wait until this upcoming Blue Beetle movie come out and these books will sky rocket into the stratosphere just like that:  :bigsmile:

Okay, maybe not the GA version of the Blue Beetle, as these newbie FOMO crazed buyers of today will probably only be willing to pay up for the readily available BA and CA versions of the Blue Beetle books.  :screwy:

I didn’t know that. Explains why some guy bought the two beater Blue Beetle GA books that have been in my boxes for like forever yesterday. And some kid specifically asked for them. :whistle:

Well, now that you know, you can go right ahead and add an extra zero to the right for all of your books with a Blue Beetle cover and they'll probably continue to sell just like that.  :whee:  :banana:

I guess the question will be will the fans of the Blue Beetle Jaime Reyes even know the original BB appeared in more books than just his own self titled book?!! 🤷‍♂️

Unfortunately not, as all they'll probably look at is that big big number on the top left hand corner of the slab, and as long as it's got a 9.8 or 9.9, their wallets will be opened wide and they'll be throwing money at you faster than you can grab it.  :devil:

You never know, in this crazed FOMO driven marketplace, the Blue Bettle books just might move like the Shang Chi books when the trailer hits.  :bigsmile:

I still remember a few years ago when you couldn't give away a copy of Special Marvel Edtion 15, even as a Halloween treat as the little kiddies would just look at it and toss it right back at you.  I still remember cherry picking about 5 copies of this book way back in the day since it was part of a huge warehouse find and they would always keep showing up in the back bins in minty fresh condition for only a loonie or so.  The only reason I picked it up was that I liked the Gulacy artwork in the later issues and figured that I couldn't go wrong with a first appearance issue if I was patient enough.  :taptaptap:  :taptaptap:  zzz

Then lo and behold, the book moves up to a few thousand when the movie is announced, and then goes nutso and hits into the mid $7K's this past month, and now that they've released what is apparently a terrible first trailer, it goes beyond nutso in tonight's HA Sunday Auction and fetches $14,400 for a poorly wrapped copy with that big white fugly off center spine (actually common for this book) showing :  :screwy:  :screwy:

https://comics.ha.com/itm/bronze-age-1970-1979-/superhero/special-marvel-edition-15-shang-chi-master-of-kung-fu-marvel-1973-cgc-nm-mt-98-white-pages/a/122117-17541.s?ic16=ViewItem-BrowseTabs-Auction-Archive-ThisAuction-120115

Bronze Age (1970-1979):Superhero, Special Marvel Edition #15 Shang Chi, Master of Kung Fu (Marvel, 1973) CGC NM/MT 9.8 White pages....

And that's for a book that's already got over 100 copies in this equivalent CGC 9.8 with another 350 odd copies knocking right on its door at CGC 9.6.  So, best just to hang onto your GA books with the Blue Beetle in them for now and then hopefully pick up the pot of gold at the end of the comic book FOMO rainbow when the trailer for the Blue Beetle movie hits.  lol

:takeit:  :takeit:  , the money, that is.  (thumbsu
