Today is September 11th. Unless you’re an too young to have been alive, you know and remember what happened seventeen years ago today. The World Trade Center, the Twin Towers were attacked and destroyed. Nearly 3,000 people died with many more being injured, coupled with more, especially the first responders, becoming sick and dying from cancer. As a native New Yorker, those events changed my life. They taught me the value of the simple, the small, and to always tell the people that matter that you love them because you never know. Being a comic book fan, collector, investor, store owner, and convention dealer, those events have been showcased in comics, even though we never thought they would happen in real life. In today’s speculating from the streets, I want to point out a few comics either paying tribute to 9/11 or showcasing the world trade cent on a cover on in a story. Please, if you make money on any of these books, think to donate some of it to the first responders fund. Some of these brave men and woman are really sick and have a hard time making ends meet so every penny counts for them.  Now on to the comics that feature the World Trade Center

Aloha CHUniverse and welcome back to Weekend Specs. I’m back and filled with comic enthusiasm after a long break from collecting comics. In the meantime my husband was collecting Jordan’s he doesn’t even wear, taking all of our comic money. Now that we have more shoe boxes than comic boxes I can get back to collecting comics. This week we cover the Swamp Thing news, Captain Marvel villain, and a few other soon to be relevant characters.
The #1 thing that I find crazy when coming back from breaks is how much everything goes up in price. It’s hard out there to stretch your dollars these days on comic 1st appearances. No longer can you get 30 1st appearances and combined shipping from Mile High for $20, all those books have became $20 bills themselves. Today’s list has one thing in common they all still have attractive buy ins. Good to be back let’s jump in!

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, 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. Continue reading “One Year Later: Spec Review for 9/6/17”
