What’s up with Cable 5 from X of swords? Fishy ebay prices people were asking and sold but there isn’t anything really key about it and I can’t imagine it was low printed since you had to get it to follow along the X of Swords event
I’m speculating on some smaller Marvel characters. I noticed the character Hazmat has been in the Captain Marvel series lately, so I grabbed a copy or 2 of Avengers Academy #1 just in case. She may go nowhere, but for $3-$5 why not try and make the gamble.

Avengers Academy is a good book with a lot of firsts

That’s one I’ve been stockpiling for some time. It has quite a few first appearances as well. I still haven’t tracked down a newsstand edition either.
Avengers Arena #1 has a few including Cullen Bloodstone and Death Locket.
Reptil looks like a Malibu character I wouldn’t put 89 cents towards a copy let alone $50-$90 people asking

Spot on assessment. I think he looks fun, but not a spec-worthy character to me.

Reptil was a regular character on Super Hero Squad TV show! Already been on TV, etc, so…ehhh.

I’d think this was a really cool character if I was maybe 8 again…

Next time I see a book starting to move I’ll keep it to myself.

Please don’t take criticism of the character as criticism of your bringing it up. All kinds of things sell all the time that don’t speak to all of us… if the market is buying, it’s good to hear about it.

Key Collector added Captain America #1 2011 Newsstand Photo Movie Cover to their list. Due to a CGC signing by Chris Evans. One newsstand is up for auction. Directs went from $10-20 to $40-350. If you got em sell em. A photo so you know what you’re looking for.
I’ve seen another different issue with Evans on the cover is selling well. Forgot what issue it is though.

Twin Cities Comics is soing the Chris Evans signing. I think they where charging $250 or $275 for the singing. A little to high for my taste lol.

Finally!! Captain America #6 First Winter Soldier Newsstand just sold for $410. Real nice raw copy. It’s nice to see it get some love. Disclaimer I do have a graded copy for sale. I’m not trying to pump it but have been keeping track of it for years.

Key Collector is also reporting that the Ultimate Fallout 4 CGC 9.8 Newsstand that a board member sold on eBay for $8000 was bought by Dinesh of Bad Idea and he recently sold it for $25,000. I remember the board member said it was someone in the comics and movie business. So it’s plausible. When I sold my AF15 Newsstand it was to someone in the business as well.
