I found a nice little stash of Nightwing moras this week including the 105. Is the foils store exclusive?

They’re actually incentive variants. #99 is a 1:25 and #105 is a 1:50.
Congrats on finding the stash of Nightwings.

Found an inexpensive copy on mercari. This one might be staying in the PC. Very nice in person.
Mora got me again…

I’m getting really tired of these Moras and Putris getting clingy. Stop looking so damn good in person!
Don’t get attached. Don’t get attached.

Not a Mora book heating up, but figured I’d pass this along.
Mora did A covers for books 46-50, however if you find 50 cheap and in good shape might be worth stashing away.
It’s the last issue in a relatively long run (by today’s non A-list standards). As they are lower print runs, over time these tend to increase in value. Doesn’t hurt to grab the B cover as well if you see it in dollar bins.

We already talked about this book in the moderns heating up thread a while ago.
Rule: see Dan Mora doing a Nightwing related cover? Buy it.

I was scrolling through reddit and saw a post saying that DC spec is dead. I laughed and posted there are certain books by certain artists that you can find in back issue bins and sell for good money. Just need to know which ones.
The guy came back and was like “yeah right”
I laughed and said I wasn’t telling because I don’t want to ruin it for my friends.
The whole thing made me laugh.

I said nothing but had to laugh about it.

Depends on what you consider “spec”. There is spec and there are flips. A lot of the DC books we grab from bins here are not in hopes of future increase (spec) but immediate revenue (flips).
But I think we’ve done a good job identifying the trends to where we can narrow down what books are worth a flyer or scouting.
From a character perspective, I think there is a lot of potential with James Gunn’s universe and it’s just starting. But he loves obscure B/C characters…many go back to the silver or golden age…so it will takes some patience and a little luck to hit on those going forward.
But all-in-all, when people ask me about my strategy, I say look for the books no one else is looking for. If you’re chasing top 10 or 20 lists you are usually too late to the game, and playing catchup.

I also think all this exists in two separate worlds (online selling & in person/con selling).
I never see these books selling at the online rates at cons or in shops. At least for me.
Do you even see these at cons or shops?
I think shops/dealers are not paying attention, and thus don’t even offer them. Thats why we find them in back-issue bins for cover or less.
Also, Shops/dealers can only feature so many books on their walls or cases….so they tend to go with what most recognize, vice taking a risk on the niche/long shot books.
Yeah, I don’t expect any Pumkin Spicy on dealers walls at NYCC. But it’s possible I may come across them while searching through bins. That’s if @Bill doesn’t beat me to them.

There’s a comic speculation Subreddit and it’s often just people posting absolute garbage books saying they inherited them or picked them up somewhere and asking if they’re rich. It’s depressing.

Yes. Or post some crap 90’s book in bad condition and ask if they should have it graded.
