But that price is beyond CRAZY.
That and I guess something happens with Apocalypse...he supposedly visits Sandman's sister(DC) ---
until the next reincarnation.

The one that went for $81 was a Dynamic Forces edition limited to 50 copies. The regular edition of the book is worth some $$$ but not that much.

Anybody know what a Superman 75 Platinum usually goes for? And how many versions are there? Bleeding or just the "S" shield covers?

Re: Discuss Hard To Find Or Currently Hot Modern Comics
If you are just looking for the black bags there are the red bleeding and platinum bleeding. If you want to include the newstand there are 4 printings and a Millennium Edition reprint.vikingspawn wrote:Anybody know what a Superman 75 Platinum usually goes for?

Cheapest on Ebay right now for Paltinum 75 is 79.95 - completed ranges anywhere from 73.00 - 127.00.

Re: Discuss Hard To Find Or Currently Hot Modern Comics
Red bleeding I have....I saw 2 Platinums at a store but the girl mentioned one of them was a 500 (or maybe 5000?) retailer edition. Looking at ebay...I see there's a Platinum S-shield bleeding and S-shield "no bleeding drips".... I guess there're 2 Platinum versions.BruceReville wrote:If you are just looking for the black bags there are the red bleeding and platinum bleeding.

Re: Discuss Hard To Find Or Currently Hot Modern Comics
No bleeding is actually Adventures of Superman 500. The regular bagged edition is white with a red S - platinum is black bag with a platinum S.vikingspawn wrote:Red bleeding I have....I saw 2 Platinums at a store but the girl mentioned one of them was a 500 (or maybe 5000?) retailer edition.

The chick and the guy threw me off by saying both were Superman #75.

Re: Discuss Hard To Find Or Currently Hot Modern Comics
Not a hot comic, but hard to find for me - I need the Hangman variant to complete my DC-Red Circle set and have yet to come across one.

That looks like a real hidden Thing story that fans haven't found yet. I was able to find one for $7 on ebay. There's another recent story that i'm trying to find the print version from Clarkesworld magazine. It tells the story from the Thing's point of view.

Mile High (prices) lists a variant on #1 of the 6 issue mini; I *think* I remember reading about it as a 1:10 variant.

Unless I missed something, it looks like Animal Man 1 is bringing the most dough of the 52 1s as far as first prints from the recent DC relaunch goes. Didn't 400yrs (or someone else?) pick that as his sleeper?

Not a comic but these are usually fun to watch.
A very rare sealed Groo trading card box on ebay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/SERGIO-ARAGONES ... 500wt_1202" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I think it'll end at around $345.
