These Nightwings keep going up in price. Every time I sell them they keep trending up as it gets more scarce. I sold the Robins for $50 and thought I made out like a bandit because previous to that they were only about $25. Now they’re trending towards $100. Insanity.
I think it’s because those who are buying them are not speculating…they’re holding them for the PC or hording them. Some I’ve had the same person buy the same book when I’ve found more copies.

And here I am stuck with my three copies of Heartless’ first appearance. Someone needs to tell these overseas Nightwing fans they need that key issue of Nightwing. Not a pumpkin butt shot.

Picked up yesterday.
Covered these in the TF Heating Up thread.
Some Dan Mora $20 books.
Mr & Mrs X #1 is a 1:50 JC Campbell variant. Sells for $35…lowest listed is $57 currently. The other issues are $15-$20 books.
Paid $120 in total. 24 books. Estimating $360 (if avg sales are $15ea).

Had the day off and hit a few shops. Not a big haul but definitely found some nice books.
1st Psylocke nice looking copy for $20, HoM Adams cover VG, Batman book is a Timm cover
Cover price IDW Joes w/ Dawn Moreno appearances, D-Rod mentioned Go-Bots and I certainly remember them. Had a few when I was a kid, 1st Go-Bots in standard comics?
cover price MTMTE low print IDWs, wondering if the heat on these is Megatron becoming an Autobot… kinda strange.

I don’t think the heat is anything but copies becoming more hard to come by like Joes and Archie Sonic’s.
Issue 26 is the first app of Windblade, who is a fan created transformer (I think they did a vote for what fans wanted a new character to be). She’s on the cover of the RI and it goes for good money in any grade.
I haven’t been able to track that book down yet in years of searching bins.

Went back to this shop on Sunday and found some more stuff. All were cover except the 87 variant which was $2. It’s not just Mora covers that are getting up there so don’t skip over any non-Mora Nightwing variants you come across before checking recent eBay sales…
Also hit up a small show and had some success. All of these were $2 each except for the 2 variants on the bottom that are priced. Paid $20 for the pair just because the vendor was so cool and patient and I think it was a fair deal based on what I found on eBay. If anyone has insight into these, it would be appreciated. Couldn’t find too many listings which I like but not any sales really either which I don’t like… The Eternals are all higher grade.

Man oh man. At the beginning of this year, a local vintage toy/comic shop bought a huge comic collection. They plucked out all the Marvel keys and cheesecake books, and barely touched the DC stuff. Right when this site started to discover the Nightwing sales, I went back to the shop to see if he still had the DC boxes. Nope. Sold them off for dirt cheap just to clear them out. Oh what could have been in those boxes!!! I even asked him if he remembered any Nightwing stuff in there and he said there were Nightwing issues from the last few years. Argh.
Hit two shops. No WW25, but I think I did alright finding some other things on my list. Will break this down later under LcS pickups.
I pre-ordered a WW25 anyway…was waffling on order to f 2 at FOC but figured if it got hot I’d find one… NOPE!

About $200 here in sales (before fees and such). Maybe paid about $40. That’s like flipping 8 WW25’s!!!

Great pickups. And thanks for the list you posted, I’ll definitely be using that next time I hit a store 
Also never knew there was a Nightwing tentacle cover…that certainly checks off the boxes for two kinds of cover collectors doesn’t it lol

Digging through a closing store’s bins. Everything was a quarter. Ended up walking out with 60 comics for $10 (less than a quarter)
Filled some run holes in Darkness and Witchblade. Found some neat covers.
But also found some flips.
These are moving in the $10 range since the announcement of the show. At .25 each I am selling one and keeping one.
Hard to find first self published series from Coheed and Cambria. Goes for about $20 in this condition
Another potential $20 flip. Thanks to the forum chat I added this to my hunt list.
All I need to do is sell one of the three to break even and then have the remaining books for free.

Sold my Mr. Mrs X #1 for $20, and #8 for $20 as well. Paid $15 for the set.
The #1 was a 1:50 JSC, and would have gone for about ratio, but when I was taking photos I noticed damage along the bottom edge that’s not pressable…so decided to just dump it for a quick profit. I do not like holding on to damaged modern books.
I actually picked up #3 as a spec book when it came out as it’s a first appearance…but looks like it’s a $20 book now. Gotta think about this one…if it was $20 week of release I probably would have flipped it.
