stroszek Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Sooner or later any and every Marvel comic will get hot. Amazing time to own comics. I'm set if Thongor Warrior of Lost Lemuria gets his own franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ygogolak Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Giant-Size Defenders #3 That book has been both hot and under the radar for a while now. You can still pick it up cheap, but mid to high-grade fetches good money. (two of those sales are mine). I buy this book in any grade I can find it if it isn't marked up yet. High grade is a nightmare. Yea, any of those square bound. Try and find a nice copy of Fantastic Four King Size #6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomG Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Incredible Hulk Annual #6 is getting some love on today's news. Last NM copy to sell was a slabbed 9.6 back in March for ~$35. http://www.ebay.com/itm/INCREDIBLE-HULK-ANNUAL-6-FIRST-PARAGON-WARLOCK-COCOON-1977-/311624335326?hash=item488e41ffde:g:uGUAAOSwepZXTfPq Should've held. My 9.8 only sold for $90 at auction a couple months back after trying to get substantially more on the Clink exchange. It was only one of 2 on the census I believe. Ouch! Should have left it on the exchange. I had a feeling it would be relevant with all the Warlock buzz. dumb*ss You can't win em all. I sold a raw Batman 251 on the boards several years back. I graded it at 9.0. The person who bought it slabbed it and it came back 9.6. Do you know what a 9.6 Batman 251 goes for these days? Also sold my Iron Man 55 before it went bonkers. Ah well, que sera sera When my wife decided we were getting a house, I sold a Batman 251 CGC 9.6 and an IM 55 CGC 9.4 to defray the moving costs well before those books really blew up, so I feel your pain I still have my Iron Man 55.

Grahf Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 (edited) Captain America #310 was a few bucks couple weeks back, all of them bought up. Any reason why? :gossip:Copper Age btw. My bad threw it over there, all I can guess is there reprinting Serpent Societys origin in the next couple months, maybe folks are hedging their bets thinking a new series or movie is coming.

I'm guessing it's because people have no idea what they are buying.

ecgt Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 (edited) I was thinking the same thing: the Luke Cage villain first appears in Hero for Hire # 1. People are probably mixing up the two characters because of them sharing the same name. Edited July 19, 2016 by ecgt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecgt Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 And Comic Book Scalping is promoting Captain America # 310 as the 1st appearance of the Luke Cage Diamondback.

ecgt Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 And....not long after my post about Comic Book Scalping, all reference to Captain America # 310 was removed from the link... For those of you who didn't see the post before it was removed, the site was pumping Captain America # 310 as the 1st appearance of Diamondback, unaware of the conflation of two different characters.

"Comicbookscalping" is a board member with the former name "Jimmy Linguini"...which is now "Comicbookscalping." Lots of misinformation on the internet, not enough research, knowledge, and experience. It's like 1992 in the comics market all over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecgt Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 (edited) Perhaps this is symptomatic of a larger problem with how a vocal minority of people try to speculate on comics without ever reading them? I really don't feel bad for the people who fell for it (as they obviously got caught up in momentary hype), but the Linguini's of the world are culpable here. He should admit the mistake on his website rather than making the post disappear. He'd have more credibility that way.
