I have tried to find them in my area and no luck.
Itās true, I donāt get it eitherā¦ I remember Spider-Gwen #3 and Uncanny Inhumans #11 getting up there for a while, but thatās it really it. And they are incentive variants and the inhumans book is a key.
There are so many great Putri covers our there for cover or less but Iām really not looking to sit on more books!

Somebody make this easy for my local shops and tell me what comics to look for. I need a list. Iām lazy.
Be on the lookout this week for Batman #145 (2024) Cover C-Putri variant. All the cheap copies have disappeared on Ebay. There are only CGC copies left. Last few sold for $15 each. Very cool cover and you can probably still find on racks.
Good hunting!

I love you a little bit extra now. If you ever get out to Saint Louis Iāll take you to all the secret spots I find my good comics. You canāt ever move here and be permanent competition, however. 
I use CLZ and keep a āwish listā there. Basically anytime CHU-folk reference a warming book, I add it there.

I dug in a dollar bin for Batman Putri books. Just A covers. But I did find this sweet Scalera 1:25 for a buck.

Some of those are variants, I failed to note that but when I create lists I know in my head what they are.

Man. Itās just amazing how far Marvel spec has fallen. I found these two super clean copies in a dollar bin. Even though I have a few copies of each already, I grabbed them. Checked prices on eBay, and many people have the set listed for like $10 and it isnāt selling. Just crazy.
Oh well. I found a few others that were worth grabbing. Iām really digging the EC/Oni Press revival of those old horror titles. For a buck, yep.

I would not be surprised if a large majority of the comic book spec is just speculators passing the books around to other speculators as thereās just a lot of folks who donāt care about it whatsoever.
Comic book collecting and even speculating are very niche now, weāre kind of a rare breed nowadays for the most part. Out of my circle of friends, Iād say 95% donāt even read nor collect comics. Then I have a few that will buy to read but donāt care about value, spec, etc, the value is in reading for entertainment.

I think this is the case, too. Itās why I rarely touch indie spec in particular. The hot potato game is so fast anymore.
