| This title is holding strong. The full run on ebay sells for x5 cover price (sometimes even more) and any retailer has back issues in stock for cover price. The 25, after the logical hype is cooling down, but still get $10-$15 a copy, even the ugly McGuinness cover. Leave alone isse 14, like I posted in the auction tread, a copy sold for $191. I know this is an anomaly, but now are selling on ebay for $20 minimum. It's a critically acclaimed series since the beginning, readers started to understand how good this series is only after issue 25 but it's destined to be a classic, the best CAp America series since ages. Issues 1-24 have a small print run for a Marvel flag title (around 40k) And maybe the most important, it's holding strong, there is no hype on this title, I can see it being in high demand in the near future....and one day Steve Rogers will come back, and a Captain America movie is apparently ready for pre production. That's why I think any issue of this title should stay at cover price in the database. $5-$6 per issue seems more reasonable IMO.

I just picked up a copy of 14 for $26 that I'm hoping of flipping for at least $40. I'd still like to know why this particular issue is going for so much.

| I may have to take a look at what the LCS has in stock. See if I can grab them while they are still cheap.

| Yup, and neither will you find issue #14 at any of the online sellers like Mile High. The other issues that they do have of Volume 5 are going for big bucks. I have been monitoring #14 on ebay for the last few weeks and the prices are starting to drop, instead of the high 40's and low 50's they are going for mid 20's now on average
