How have you done with speculation related to Disney+ shows?
For me, I have had the following successes with buying the following just after the shows were announced (some of them were slabs) and flipping some of them for higher:
Captain America #25 Adam Hughes and Steve McNiven variants
Star Wars: Kanan the Last Padawan #1 Plunkett variant
Fantastic Four #94
She-Hulk #1
Captain America #323
Secret Invasion #1-8
Think I have made enough to cover my Disney+ subscription for the year. Hope to do the same for the next year and many more years to come!
I sold one for good money…then when the show obviously headed in a different direction than Vote Loki value dropped. Still have a nice copy of issue 1.
Maybe when season 2 comes out it will heat up again.
I’ve quite honestly been ahead of the game on most of it, but nothing has been better than my life long love of Star Wars, Clone Wars, Boba Fett, etc and the gains from Disney shows/spec.
I had 4 Clone Wars #1s and the most I paid for any was $50 (Feb of 2020 just as Covid hit-last con before the rough times).
I’ve sold 3 of the 4 (9.2 , 2x 9.4) and have a 9.6 I’ll keep.
I sold those 3 slabs for a total of $2800.
I have a 9.6 and 9.8 Heir to the Empire #1 plus another raw nm that combined I paid $27 dollars for.
I’m sitting on just about every single important Boba Key, Rebels, Clone Wars, Thrawn, Dark Horse or related key and they were typically all bought from cheap bins, at release for cover, or at ratio like the Thrawn #1 covers.
I know many say sell, but I’m holding all of it still.
The list I shared were for those I bought after announcements. Amongst those I bought before announcement include the following:
7 copies of Heir to the Empire #1, most of which I got from the dollar bins back then. One of them is currently slabbed as a 9.6. Sold one raw for about $120
Thrawn #1 Mattina variant that cost me $50 which is currently slabbed as a 9.8
1 regular and 1 variant of Invincible Iron Man #7. Variant sold already.
3 regular and 2 variant of Invincible Iron Man #9. Variants sold already.
1 banged up copy of Clone Wars #1 newsstand. Since sold.
I’m becoming, more & more, a believer of sell at first glimpse in a trailer or show (if they weren’t hinted in a trailer). I feel like that is sort of the optimum excitement along with FOMO for people.
Sure, if the character is a massive, long term hit, it may be a bad call, but usually that just doesn’t hold true.
I.E…I am holding lots of Thor/Gorr books…those are gone the minute I see even a glimpse of him in a trailer with no regrets.
I just dont care about posting D-list characters, also who are in a few scenes, at best. She-Hulk will have ALOT of very minor, obscure characters appearing.
