What up CHUllectors!?! Shawn B., the One Year Later Investigator,  back with another One Year Later round up, where we take a look at some of the comics that Anthony, Mel, Terry and Poyo specced on one year ago. Their specs turn out to be quick flips, slow burns, straight up misses, straight up winners and on and on. Sometimes they spec with their hearts out of their passion for comics. Sometimes they spec based on data. And sometimes they spec based off the word on the street. Either way, all their specs appeal to a few or many collectors whether it is due to them having similar taste in writing or art, or just an opportunity for a collector to flip a book and make money to “support their habit”. So, this is our weekly chance to look back at how some of our buys from a year ago are doing today.

What Up CHU? Mel V. here with your weekly Variant picks for March 14th, 2018. If you have been reading for a while, you know how much I was against grading. Well people change. I mean I dabbled with getting a few books graded here and there, but I went bonkers lately. “Hi, I’m Mel V. and I’m addicted to getting comics graded.” With that said, it will be a new level of me determining variants, so its “Great Art”, “Low Print/Hard to Find” and of course “T-Shirt Worthy”. Now, the 4th level of greatness “SLABTASTIC”. This will now be known as “Mel V’s 4 Points of Excellence”. So let’s see if any of this week’s Variants receive the 4 Points of Excellence
