Mile High Comics has one of the *SQUEE* looking websites on the internet. It looks like a teenager designed it in a bedroom in the early 90's.

I also like that Spawn #9 might now be a $20 book.
Why? Did you find one with a $20 bill in it? Score!

That is one of the reasons why I have never bought anything from Mile High. That and their insane prices.

In related news, Marvel is saying that the appearance of Angela isn't the big surprise slated for AoU #10 and that her appearance is like an "after the credits." type of deal.

Also, they are saying that the issue is going to be polybagged as to not have the ending spoiled.

Her first appearance post AoU will be in Guardians of the Galaxy #5.

I wonder if all the big "event" issues are going to be polybagged from now on in order to combat the stories from being leaked.

Although, I don't see how that stops anybody from just opening the polybag and posting the spoiler. I guess Marvel will get their $3.99 from that guy this time!

Why bother when Marvel will spoil it themselves in USA Today or NY Times the day before :?

This was before the interwebs as we know it - 1983.

Yes, I am that old. :D

I remember when they had the ads in the comic books. I always thought their prices were too high then!

It wouldn't be worth paying for the pre-screening and grading.

:o

$4.29 per issue

I can't imagine dropping this kind of money on 70 issues.

It seems as though these have cooled as fast as they heated up. They don't seem to be moving on eBay at the current prices. Many sellers continue to drop their BIN's lower and lower. The 9.8s are still going over the $100 mark. I'm glad I sold mine when I did. I made a great profit. It would have been greater if I had accepted the first offer I received.

From what I have seen Spawn back issues are on the uptick. I've been selling them pretty ok at my shows. Also, a bunch of peeps have been asking for them.

I hope Spawn prices do continue to rise. I have an entire run (with all the variants) just begging to become valuable.
