It’s just a model he makes in Blender and then takes different shots of.
This bubble will burst.

I live NOTLD but have no idea why these have been included.
As for the bubble, I have made a ton of money off his books. Kept the ones I loved. It’s win win if it pops. I love his stuff. To me it’s not overly creepy. Has fun campiness to it. Matches my aesthetic of wanting to live in a world that looks like Scooby doo cartoon mixed with the Munsters

He painted over the photos for his 2022 card set. Like someone else said before; he is reusing a lot of his art that he used for his cards. That’s how he is pumping out so many covers.

Mark Spears stuff might be a bubble but for now the train keeps on rolling. I’m mixing my metaphors. Sorry.

Unless you’re getting exclusives at cons or these high ratios, where is the money to be made off these books anymore?
I’d rather flip Dan Mora books for 1000% profit.

A CGC 9.8 of Monsters #1 cover A sold for a little over $1K recently. The bubble may burst (and probably will), but I honestly think that issues #1-3 and the Kickstarters (Monsters and M&tW) will remain high on people’s want lists.
I have 3 raw, high grade copies of #1 cover A bought at cover price so I’m good.

So, in a 9.8 the A cover sells for more than the book that started the frenzy. The market is interesting.

Bet there’s a nice color breaking crease along the middle of the spine too. $1000 for what likely would not grade higher than a 9.6 if regraded.

I need to find a new source for GI Joe IDW books. I am almost sold out. Literally books I couldn’t sell for $10 a few months ago are flying for $20.

Monster and the Wolf blind bag incentives came out of the gate strong with pre-sales and have been falling in price to 1/2 or less than “ratio”. Smaller quantity of blind bags (1-10 qty) are selling closer to cover price, deals are still out there for larger quantities. As we get closer to FoC and after, it will be interesting to see what the prices do at that point. I have a pretty big quantity in my cart at Lunar that I’m letting marinate. I probably won’t decide the final amount until the last minute. I know some of y’all have 0.0 in your cart lol

I have one copy pulled just to participate in the gamble. I might grab a couple copies off the shelf if there’s more buzz at release.

I keep thinking everyone must know about Spears books at this point but I was at a comic show a few weeks ago and a guy who does Youtube and sells online asked me what books are hot right now. I mentioned Spears Monsters and he hadn’t heard anything about the series.

Does Youtube and sells online with no knowledge of Mark Spears? Huh.

Believe it or not… I was surprised as well. Patriot Comics if you want to give him a watch, he mainly buys older books and posts his finds.

Yeah…this guy just lost all cred, if he even had any to start.

I’m telling you, there are a ton of collectors and retailers that have absolutely no idea about the guy.
The blind bags are truly going to be the thing that puts Spears on the map for a lot of folks. And for crying out loud, Monsters 1 cover A is now selling for over a grand in a 9.8. I think every Halloween season to come could be good for Spears flippers.

Send him our way. Always love having people join us. Maybe he can get some new ideas.
