New costume spec doesnt last. So why are people only buying the Brooks cover ?
As for that $52 auction, SOLD prices are far below that. So that tells me this is a SHILLED auction.

I did look around some sites to see what was available…it’s pretty much sold out. At least at the more well know online vendors. I didn’t do any deep dive.
So Copies seem to be scarce online. It’s a variant with a $7.99 cover price. I don’t know. Keeping an eye on this.
I figure it’s a pretty cool cover so if I find one a get stuck with it I’m ok with that.
Im not saying people buying it at $7.99 are going to get stuck with it. Im asking why are people buying ? New costume spec is worn out. There are ton of “new costume” appearances that have come and gone…and fallen in the grave.
The book isnt rare. We all know that.
The book just came out on Wednesday and people are paying $30+ for non-ratio Marvel cover …??? Cmon…
It smells like alot of BS

2024 has been wonky in terms of usual trends. Cover A of Ultimate Spider-Man makes more money than rare ratios, for example.

I’m not trying to make sense of it…but I agree this will fade fast.
That being said, I did not find any while out. Found the other covers though.
I think they thought it was the 1:75 virgin

It’s a 1:100 and nope.
I thought there were 2 versions for the Brooks- one with the trade dress which was open order and the virgin which was ratio.

Yes, there is. These are the regular cvrs pictured above. I was referring to the statement about buyers thinking these were the 1:75

Ugh. On Wednesday my LCS had only one left of cover A and a couple of cover C and the Scottie Young cover. I picked up cover A only. I didn’t see the cover C price explosion coming. Nuts. And here I was happy to get the last cover A and not have to settle for one of the variant covers. I have no idea how some of these books heat up so fast. It looked like “just another cool cover to me” but nothing special. Shows what I know, I guess.
High cvr price, good cvr, and enough people thought it would flop, combined with retailers buying mostly cover A. I didn’t see coming but caught on early enough to capitalize
I would not say thats a good cover. Brooks is overrated.
Also, why are people paying so much ??? This has got to be shilled.
THE BOOK ISNT RARE. Just wait until orders come flooding in this week…
Nobody is buying the Wolverine/Black Panther Predator comics, but yet this makes sense…?

The lack of heat on the Black Panther Predator comic and the abundance of various aliens and predator covers from a year or so ago when Marvel had their “theme of the month covers that have nothing to do with the inside of the book” events made me pass. I have tons of long boxes filled with covers that look cool but never went anywhere. I didn’t feel like adding another one to the list. Win some and lose some, I guess. I just wish I could figure out the heating up really fast books quicker. I have no idea about some of this stuff taking off until it’s common knowledge. I have no idea how people figure the rocket ship take off of a book like this so fast.

I did miss out on this one, and no sour grapes but I have a feeling this will be one those “two year later” threads or videos and it will not be considered a winner or going for nearly what it is now. If you really want one and didn’t get it day one, wait two years and pick it up for $20 or so. Odds are it won’t keep its value or anywhere close. If you did buy one on release day for cover… SELL!
