Quote:Originally Posted by BigRedOne1944 alright, alright, it was the one that cost a grand. I think it's a reasonable risk/reward for speculation, maybe I lose $300 in the long run, maybe I make $2,000. It had a "best offer" option but I skipped it because I didn't want to lose the book by trying to save 5-10%, I figure that will be irrelevant in the long-run. I was more worried about the "economy shipping" for $6 and the fact that the seller didn't sell many comic books. I contacted him and asked him for secure shipping since I accepted the asking price. He agreed and let me give him instructions how to ship. He shipped double boxed and the outer box got smashed but the book held up. I'm expecting 8.5-9.0 after press and clean. Here it is:  |

| That is a gorgeous copy! I was never fortunate enough to have a Primer #2, so I'm satisfied with being vicariously happy. | ||

| @EbayMafia I was eyeing that one myself, I think you did good. Once Grendel is shown in a trailer or at least made mainstream, your going to double your money easy. Congrats | ||

 If I could, I would. I swear.

DrWatson private msg quote post Address this user | |
| Ive never understood why a book that has been around for 40 years or longer spikes because the character is suddenly in a TV show or movie. The best (worst) example is Agatha Harkness. No one cared until a hollow comparison showed up in a mediocre television show. Which, ironically, ends with another character, White Vision, making an appearance and spiking another book that could have been picked up for a $1 or less prior. | ||

Then developments happen that give the company new potential and give investors a whole new perspective on the value of the stock. In many cases introducing it to new investors who had never even considered owning it before. |

| @DrWatson the difference is Grendel has had a fan base who just love this character with great a storyline. Die hard fans have been waiting a long time for this to happen. This is just going to expose many new people into this world. These books have been unappreciated by the mainstream for too long. | ||

| @EbayMafia don't worry I'm still recuperating from my last few purchases. Unless it's a book a really need or until I sell a few of my duplicates, I'm going to be on the down low. I'm spending a ton on grading as well. | ||

| Looks like it will be very cool. No luck on finding my Primer 2 yet but did find a bunch of Dark Horse Grendel stuff. I'm guessing I should wait a little bit before putting them up for sale. I know I have the Grendel, Madman, and Mage action figures in my storage as well |

| On Mike Allred's Twitter Account In #Limbo as all the rights have reverted to me, but I'm too completely engrossed in making comics books (where I bliss out all day every day) to jump out into Movieland right now. Would LUV to make a ginchy flick or series, but would need perfect situation to magically appear. KC should update the status. |

| @jake The bullet point in the jpg you posted states, "We have been told that Madman from Creatures of the Id #1 has already been optioned but has yet to be announced". That looks like they stated something very big there. That is a very low census book. Under 200 copies. |

Don’t know. If the show is a hit, then most likely we will see a spike in the short term. For long term, probably not. As an example, TMNT first color issue has not held up well. |

Quote:Originally Posted by jake True, but that may be across the board for 1st colour apearances, because we see pretty much the same thing with Doomsday Squad #3, that has the 1st colour appearance of Usagi Yojimbo. It's even an actual back-up story, and not just an advertisement on a back cover. As keys go, 1st colour appearances don't seem to be that much in demand. |

I was going through my collection to pick which books to slab and forgot that my Grendel v2 #1 has a tiny sketch on the splash page. Not a work of art, but pretty cool to me. I am hesitant to slab, because I want to still see it. I saw the image add-on feature, but I doubt that it is for the splash page. I would like to know what you all think.  |

| @jake If it was volume 1 I would say slab it. Since it's volume 2 I say keep it raw so you can enjoy that sketch that presumably Matt Wagner spent 10-15 seconds on, lol. | ||

| @Bronte Yeah, the idea crossed my mind. @MutantMania @EbayMafia LOL! I will keep it raw. To me, part of the fun is going through the PC and re-discovering these things, like Geof Darrow did a quick sketch of Carl and signed it D and drew an Arrow on the splash page of Hard Boiled #1. I will post it if I can find it. |
