Felix is very good at getting people hyped and getting his clients that extra shine. Could be a factor in some of these sales, above and beyond typical reader interest. Could be some crazy completist energy. A similar Catwoman exclusive was just released for #13.
I think what’s most impressive is none of these were signed or remarqued and still fetching huge prices.
Bought one Absolute Batman Felix #13 while at NYCC; got signed and remarqued by Dragotta.
The line for this was ridiculous, but I dug in and stayed.
Sold it for 4x Buy-In.
Then the next wave of the foil Felix #13’s went up on Third Eye a couple weeks ago. (unsigned; not remarqued)
Was able to snag 1 more. That will also be sold off immediately when received.
So the secret to this one, was an investment club wiped them out. Very few were able to be purchased out side the club. Not the stores fault that they were targeted. But that’s the way it goes. I had heard this was one of their buys and tried to get one. They sold out in minutes.
Felix Art typically has a few artists at his booth at the major conventions promoting their work with some type of limited, unique item. I can’t remember what they’ve been in the past. Maybe remarqued, limited prints for example? My mind is going. This last NYCC it was Dragotta at his table, and this Absolute #13 comic.
I do love a good Dekal, glad I picked up the Sinister’s Six #2 1:25 yesterday.
Speaking of books from NCBD, anyone else getting the “I should buy this” about the Predator: Badlands Movie variant? The movie seems to be doing well, Marvel didn’t kill the spec with ratios, and its not a Cover A. Photo variants tend to do pretty well down the road, anyone else picking up copies?
