Beefcake Heating Up

IMG_9631

No…this ain’t a food thread.

Beefcake covers have been on fire as of late…well, mostly Nightwing…but there are a few others.

I think they’ve earned their own topic here at CHU.

Spec on Beefcake books…share tour favorite PC beefcake cover…or even post a beefcake recipe.

In fact, any covers associated with the beefcake theme (sweater weather, workout variants, swimsuit variants, pumpkin spicy) are welcome!

Have fun with it…as long as it’s in good taste….

Bring on the big, strong, muscular men! Enough gals and guys get hot and bothered by them that my wallet getting equally buff gets me excited!

it won’t be hot until you buy a few thousand more. me, hard pass. Will sit back and make fun of the folks wanting to hype this effort. sigh.

Not sure anyone is hyping this. Just trying to be ahead of the curve on something that has already been happening.

The name of the game is being ahead of the curve for sure!

I don’t think there is much hyping up going on. It is more we are noticing a trend and a very well documented one that certain types of books are starting to move very well.

I’ve sold two sets of these covers today. I’ve had the 93 Robles listed for a few months…suddenly two gone.

And one of these.

No hype required on my part.

Still haven’t moved a 92 Talaski…5 watchers….

Surprised to see this one on key collector new years countdown :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Haven’t seen this or any of the beefcakes talked about anywhere but on this forum.

High value is more like $100-200 now. Wish I’d run into more.

Been there at least a month. Along with this one.

I’ve never been able to keep this book more than a few days after listing. This feels like another Shirahama or other beefcake covers that exploded in later 2025.

Don’t sleep on Jamal Campbell Nightwings, for sure. 102 is broaching $30 now.

I cannot find Nightwing in any of the shops I hit.

I find a lot of shops put recent stock away. One shop today (that I’ve never been to before) had variants up to 89 in long boxes, then jumped to 118 on the shelf.

They’re small stores which move recent shelf books into storage.

I’m basically tapped out of Nightwing books to sell, and I feel like I’ve cleared my whole metro area out. I’ve been buying Putri covers and Campbell covers when they are in dollar bins, but the current hot stuff is gone here, sadly.
