Blind Adam's Hidden Gems Vol. 75
Greetings to my Comics Heating Up and Awesomesauce families. Thank you everyone for reading this each and every week. Before we make money with comics, I have a few thoughts. With all the Venom hype, don’t forget to speculate on the Venom hologram trading card (available on eBay)
, there is a sweet 3D hologram card that came in the MarveL Universe Four Series. Daredevil #598, Amazing Spider-man #795, Green Lanterns #40 were all reads of the week. Lucifer is #awesomesauce, Tom Welling as Kane is just great, Maze is hot, Ella is hot, Lucifer has hot ladies and you can’t teach that. Now lets make the money with some comics.

One Year Later: Spec Review for 2/15/17
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. Continue reading “One Year Later: Spec Review for 2/15/17”
