I missed out, had dropped What if... by then.


That one was a One-Shot, and not in a series. They've done a couple of "What If" ones as One-Shots.]]> Wed, 26 Apr 2017 14:25:10 GMT https://www.comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=7962 Message from Robbie sclingerman wrote:

Talking about handling comics and when I started to care...that was when I discovered Ebay and saw all the huge differences in prices between F/VF/NM etc. I sent some books I thought were perfect to CGC, they came back a 9.2 or 9.4. When I read the books now, I'm like a surgeon. My fingers don't touch the book. I use something to turn the pages (a chopstick, a butter knife, whatever is there and clean), and carefully slide that sucker in the bag. At the comic shop I take the entire stack and pick the cleanest ones out of the batch. I just stopped short of asking the comic shop guy not to touch them.....but I digress..


Thinking back to my early teens, would have to be New Mutants #87. That was a $30 book at comicons a few months after it came out, and even the gold reprint was out shortly after. New Mutants #98 took much longer to go up, everyone was banking on Cable blowing up, but Deadpool was the one that became a household name. Remember cosmic spidey? That came out and I was at a convention...one seller was trying to sell it for $5 when it was new, fresh on the rack! ~raz

ASM 238 & 300. Batman Vengeance of Bane. I was too late for most of the bronze age 'big' books. You would never find any X-men on the racks (I think some collector guy was buying them all up. It wasn't until 147 that they started to show regularly.

That be really nice if asm 238 came with the tattoo, did it?

That's a nice list of books I had to pay way more than cover!

Solar #10 (Valiant) - It was selling out everywhere the day it was released. Stores were buying it back for cover price within a few days because they had so many other customers wanting it.]]> Sun, 12 Mar 2017 00:54:00 GMT https://www.comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=7962 Message from quinnspuddinjoker so only list books that you bought new at cover price that turned into a big ticket book. Here are a few of mine I'm glad I bought.

NYX 3. Once I saw the first issue of the series I was hooked, really cool cover. So I ordered 3 of each issues in the series. So I got three copies at cover price of NYX 3.

Harley Quinn 1 Hughes variant. Got two issues of it at cover price. Just followed a auction of one and it just sold for $344.
Things like this makes collecting fun for me.

How about you, list them please.]]> Sat, 11 Mar 2017 23:14:35 GMT
