Even when that dumb censorship existed there were underground comix. That stuff makes a butterfly girl enjoying herself look tame in comparison

My copy of Denver 1 Panosian virgin sold overnight for $43. There are quite a few listings now, but most are still in that $50-70 range. A few sales in that range.

I sold one. Have two more. Listing them one at a time and adjusting prices.

They’ll ruin it and do a 2nd printing with that cover. I ordered one because I liked it but I should probably sell it and re-buy later.

A handful of Nightwing 1:25s are warming up. I grabbed the 120 and 121 incentives, as I noticed there were none on ebay. The 120 sold for $60 within hours of listing. I listed the 121 Soy at $90, as the price was trending upward. We’ll see if that’s too aggressive.

Other than some of the Mora variants, the incentive prices have stayed below the open order variants throughout the beefcake surge. Very odd.

With some of the Mora and other variants getting really hard to find, I wonder if we’ll see more incentives start to move for better prices.

Dexter Soy is making a bit of a name for himself with his many Abs Bats exclusives. One to watch might be the upcoming Teen Titans 2 variant. Red Hood on the cover helps.

Probably a good idea to split it by year at this point. Once a thread gets close to two thousand replies, trying to find anything useful in it becomes a project on its own.

A fresh 2026 thread should also make it easier to see which books are actually picking up steam now instead of mixing them in with stuff people were talking about months ago.

I would definitely keep the older thread around for reference though. Half the fun with these topics is going back later and seeing which books people called early and which ones completely disappeared.

Welcome. And we have been breaking the thread down into a new one every year. We never delete old threads. They linger in perpetuity

This is just the 2026 thread.

I will also add that after a week or two typically the hot books either cool down, and/or any low priced books disappear from shops and online. Once the cheap copies are gone, the vast majority here don’t go back through the threads. They just want to know what the next hot book is.

In some cases if it’s an older backissue that may still be hiding in bins, it’ll get added to a separate ā€œhuntā€ list to keep it on people’s radar to avoid the need/desire go back through old threads to look for such books.

Does anyone know if any current volume Amazing Spiderman 1:25s have any value? The only one I can really find is #7 second print 1:25. One of my shops has most of these for sale for about $3-4, but I don’t want to buy them for $4 and either sell for $12 or get stuck with them.

Marvel backdoors its ratios. Don’t buy for $1

Yeah I’d avoid them. I got a few super cheap and have managed to sell just one and that was for like one and a half times cover

Just saw a bunch of them in Ollie’s multi-packs. Looked them up quickly and they were sitting at cover price.

Thanks for confirming my suspicions.

Are there new ones?
