Same.
I just regret selling mine too soon... :oops:

Made money, but could have made more probably.

I sold a few under $20, but Morning Glories (and Skullkickers for that matter) were really good to me. I can't complain.

Potentially silly question, but how are these Disney licenses not granted to Marvel considering that Disney now owns the company?

Just curious.
How is CLINT 1 doing in the USA?

Over here (uk) it is selling on ebay highter than cover, and it was only released last month.
USA sellers are saying it is not avaliable from distributors anymore?

I am pretty sure the Boom license will run out in a year or so. I remember hearing something like that.

It's mainly because the deals were made long before Disney bought out Marvel, I think.

Yeah, in the last episode of the second season Peter Bishop is given an apartment. As modern art several key DC books are reimagined on the wall.

Being a Batfan and Fringe viewer I may be picking this one up...if I can find one for less than $10.

It's be cool to have a compiled list at the beginning of this thread that one could cut and paste and carry to comic shops.

Agreed. If no one else wants to or does so in the near future, I'll scan this thread and the tpb thread and compose a list in a new thread and update when possible. I'm slammed work-wise right now though.

The first 2 days were slammin. I have sold a few. I have 1 left and just dropped the price.

But I did pretty good on them.

Stumptown #1 first-print seems hard to find. Only one copy on eBay right now, with an asking price of 39.99.

I have not seen this book go for that much. But it is a $15-$20 book.

also, very hard to find.

I'd probably ask that much if I had the only copy on the Bay, and at least keep that price for a while. :)
