    1. Yes, two Princess Leia 40th covers this week in fact. These have been going unnoticed and then start to fetch nice dollars later on, down the road after those likely hardcore Star Wars original nuts can’t find them locally so they resort to buying them online in the secondary market.
      These shouldn’t be overlooked, especially for the Poe and Aphra books which have smaller print runs than the Star Wars main series, so they can be hard to come by.

  2. My picks for this week are all Indie books. Batvark #1, Destroyer #4 & Amazing World Of Gumball 2017 Grab Bag #1

  3. A few others that could fly under the radar are the
    Mighty Captain Marvel #8 Marvel vs Capcom Shinkiro
    Black Panther Jenny Frison variant
    Both sold out at Midtown, maybe ones to keep an eye on this week

  4. there is a raw totally awesome hulk #22 going for $81 u.s. on eBay. sale ends at 9 08pm est tonight (august 28th)
    $81 and counting…..holy smokes!!!!

    1. I saw. A couple in the $50 range as well. I have pretty much tapped my market out and sold all but one. Holding a set of Weapon H to see where it goes.

    2. If its the same one I saw – it went for over 100 US cash. I have one on ebay at the moment. Im gonna see where it goes. Also holding onto 3 of them – I think I should sell them. Also saw some going for 50 bucks. I think the market is ify right now. Just blows my mind!!

    1. That guy has it listed as guaranteed 9.8 cgc I think some bidders are confused thinking they are getting a CGC graded book.

      1. I’m gonna buy it, send another copy off to get graded that isn’t 9.8, then get my money back and my CGC fees.. cause you know, he “guarantees it will be cgc 9.8”..
        But yes, he does make it seem like it’s already graded and people on eBay are a bit sometimes on the “stupid” side who impulse buy without really reading the descriptions and such. At best, this is a manipulative tactic to boost his bids and is borderline against the rules, since it says it’s guaranteed but not necessarily CGC graded.

  6. It is a light week, but sometimes a little breather is nice! I think those, “True Believer,” comics are quite snazzy at their low price-point in stores as well as how they are a good read if you want to take a trip to the past of comics!

    1. I know Anthony likes flipping them for a few bucks but I usually don’t bother. Most if not all of these books I already have access to with my Marvel Unlimited app, which is usually about $60 a year annual membership.
      But yeah, I really enjoy reading older books, especially on the fly from my phone or tablet. Comes in handy when the kids and wife are bothering me when we are waiting for our seats at a restaurant or what not.. 🙂

  7. Throwing this one out there because no one has mentioned it is Savage Dragon 226.. I don’t read Savage Dragon nor like present day politics in my books, but may flip for a profit as Savage Dragon tends to have low print runs and I’m sure there are plenty of non-comic readers who would pick up a copy of a book where Trump is yelling “Kill the Aliens”.

    3. There’s another TAH at a little over 100 right now with a little less than an hour to go. This one doesn’t have the CGC mumbo jumbo of the other book either.

  9. Does anyone know is Gwenom shows up in tomorrow’s issue of Spider Gwen #23? If so maybe that could be a hit

      1. There are several store exclusives for #25 and what I am hearing is Marvel is saying 25. My guess is Gwen becomes infected by the symbiote in 24 and we see Gwenom in 25.

        2. I think the deal was they pushed Gwenom back but this was solicited before it was pushed back. Look for a new solicitation to come I would imagine.

    2. Nevermind. Brian replied on another website. Looks like it won’t be 23 even with marvels description lol. GG Marvel.

      1. Lol so this Gwenom thing more than likely would be a long term hold than anything. Especially with all those store exclusives coming out.

      2. SpiderGwen Lenticular has a presale just yesterday at $12 + $5 shipping. $17 a copy months before it comes out is pretty impressive already. SpiderGwen doesn’t have a huge print run either split that in half for Lenticulars and stores boycotting Lenticulars on top of it could be the perfect storm.

  10. another totally awesome hulk sold for over $100….$107.50. if it is going for this much……maybe people should have waited another week to get rid of it. shoulda coulda woulda i guess. this is insane.

    1. I sold. And held. Lol. Win win. I had a bunch of copies and made a great profit. But held a set of books for myself since they were well paid for at this point. I don’t love them and may sell in the future.
