Glad ur happy bro. Maybe we should start a new thread about our collections and start a group? Cheers bro. :thumbsupsmiley:

A group or chapter? That would be nice.

 

Sir Revi, I saw some comics for sale in Rob Ermita. Some where just 30 - 50 each.

 

I did not bought cause I dont know how to check whether its orig or not.

 

It was a BOOKSALE stall located on the ground floor near the center.

I agree.. Maybe we should, bro.. Yknow, just for us to keep track on the upcoming comics events locally or some reviews we have read for the up & coming releases.. It can even help us track comics we are currently on the hunt for..

 

I guess, ikaw naman ang nag-suggest.. Maybe you could initiate something, bro.. :mtc:

Thanks bro..

 

BTW, I bought those titles at JAE Collectibles, at SM Megamall.. Cheap and in good condition.. They are not so hard to find but at the very least, the issues that I got aren't supposed to be in the bargain bin.. The DK2 alone, in Comic Odyssey is priced at around P400 yata.. But for me, the best was, the Gen13/FF crossover.. I always love inter-company cross overs.. So, this was a good find for me..

 

But the best was Thundercats #0.. The first Wildstorm Thundercat comicbook.. hahaha.. Still valued at $3 (per price guide).. I can't wait for the planned movie come into fruition.. Then, just maybe, this comicbook might just go up in flames.. Well, that is wishful thinking, but still Campbell's art was worth the 40 bucks I spent.. :cool:

Hmmm? It’s probably orig bro. If I’ll have some time next Sunday I’ll try to check these out.

Langya, naunahan mo ako dun bro ah. Kaw sana isa-suggest ko na mamuno eh. I guess since we’re loving this stuff something must be done or at least magkaroon na rin ng thread or a group. I’m not really a leader type pero I will do my share. I’m open to suggestions. I will try to ask the mods on how to start a group or something.

 

Anyway, I’m planning to get the new Mouse Guard Winter 1152 series for comic value purposes. Can’t believe this series was a hit when it came out last 2006. I doubt our local shops ordered copies for the series but what a hit in terms of comic value.

 

And another mouse will enter the field by September: Mice Templar. I’ve read somewhere that both (Mouse Guard and Mice Templar) series are almost the same it’s just that Mouse Guard is a Harry Potter approach while Mice Templar is like Lord of The Rings approach. So watch out for this because it might have the same success Mouse Guard gained.

 

Artist Mike Wieringo passed away last Sunday (US Time) from a heart attack. He was 44.

 

The Sinestro Corps story is really a sleeper bro and I’m enjoying it so far. I wonder what Superboy Prime wants

 

Any of you guys planning to slab some comics? I’m saving some money to have 10 comics to be slabbed by this year. I hope they get high grades. The cream of the crop would be Amazing Spider-Man # 529 (4 copies of first printings) then I’d probably sell the other 3 copies.

[Sequenenre Tao]

i have a question. since trade paperbacks are all in the rage, can it be graded also as like an actual comicbook? does it have any value? i seems that today, after a story arc is completed, a month or so later there will be a compilation in tpb.

hahaha.. I do hope that the group we are envisioning about would help us and the other comic book-afficionados in MTC..

 

You have 4 copies of ASM #529? haha.. Yknow, I only have one.. and its a third print.. Sheesh!!! hahaha.. Well, I have no comics to be slabbed, bro.. Coz I only have single copies of each comic book that I own.. :thumbsupsmiley:

 

The up and coming series "Captain America: The Chosen" looks promising.. Might get that.. I also bought the new Booster Gold #1.. It had great reviews in ign.com.. But I might just get the first issue.. Was never a fan of futuristic super heroes.. haha..

Anyone can correct me on this one..

 

IMO, TPB's (or trade paperbacks) do not really go up in value.. I do think that TPB's are treated much like oridnary books.. Unlike comicbooks that have a tendency to go up in value.. Although, TPBs are also written in the price guide, I still believe that not a single one has gone up in value..

 

There are collectors who still buy TPB's so that they would not open their collections.. So as not to destroy the pristine-ness of their collections.. Plus TPB's sometimes offer certain stuff that are not found in the original singles.. Like for example, additional art or sketches..

 

I have several TPB's.. But if I have the opportunity to buy the original loose copies of the TPB's that I have.. I would.. I have bought loose copies (sets) of Crisis, the Break out story line (new Avengers) and the Avengers Disassembled.. Even though I was able to buy the TPB's of those series already.. Nothing compares to the original copies.. :thumbsupsmiley:

[Larry]

TPBs are all I get nowadays

 

learned my lesson with the Ultimates, it really wasn't worth it to me to wait for a year for a conclusion to a story arc

MTC..

Of course, the group would be created to help comic book-afficionados here in MTC. And I'm getting busy trying to figure

this out.

 

Well, I try to buy multiple copies of key issues if they're still availabale for monetary purposes. Hehehe.

 

I got Booster Gold and I like it so far and I recommend it. I like the scene where he turned down the Justice League.

As far as I know it can't be graded because most of TPB are very thick and larger than the average comic. In some

instances the value increases but it's very rare. You're correct that in a month or so there would be a compilation

of the arc or series. But sometimes they don't. In some cases the compiled format comes out as a digest w/c isn't

my taste.

I can't recall if I've seen one in a price guide but some of them goes up in value but it's very rare. I think early

TPBs (first printings) rise up in value too although it's really rare. I also have TPBs and buy some from time to

time if I have some extra cash.

Hehehe. Someone should be punished for late issues.

TPBs increase in value...but only those in small print numbers, and are usually indie titles that eventually make it big.

 

You'll have better luck collecting limited run hardcover collections...the first volume of The Absolute Authority sells for around $150 to $200 on ebay for mint copies. The first hardcover edition of Stardust is valued around the same price range. Early Sandman hardcovers are also well sought after...usually around $60 to $100. I saw a signed first-edition HC of Death:THCL go for about $200 a few years ago.
