Comic Broker Report – October 2013

The slow market continues… Here are ten tips for October: 1.  Do not invest heavily in DC 3D covers. 2.  If you find new 52 Batman issues in high grade at cheap prices buy and flip for decent money. 3.  Invest in Harley Quinn. 4.  Do not rent, purchase or recommend this film:  The Colony…

Comic Broker Report – September 2013

It \’s the end of the summer and safe to say that the market has cooled off.  This time of year is always tough as kids prepare to go back to school and parents buy pencils and paste rather than drop hundreds on 3D variants and other nonsense.  I would go on and on about…

Comic Broker Report – August 2013

  Many announcements at this year\’s SDCC have rocked the comic world, none greater than Zack Synder\’s Batman/Superman movie!  No one has any real clue what the premise of the film will be but it was a bit strange to hear one of the more famous lines from Batman: The Dark Knight Returns read out…

Comic Broker Report – JULY 2013

    Batman and Robin Vol. 1 #1 ( first Mr. Toad ) & Batman 666 ( first Prof. Pyg ) Beware the Batman is already a polarizing  show.  With episode 1 airing this past weekend to mixed reviews one thing is clear-Professor Pyg and Mr. Toad stole it.  Despite Pyg\’s altered origin I am…

Comic Broker Report – June 2013

The Comic Broker\’s Report June 2013 By Topher Seal Nothing Special this month, just a mixed bag of comics to hunt for throughout the summer.  Until the Bruins win another cup I will be awaiting the release of the Man of Steel.  Let\’s all hope that Zack Snyder channels his Watchmen instead of another Sucker…

Nova – Checklist

Nova Checklist. Marvel\’s cosmic epic The Guardians of the Galaxy is either shaping up to be the most ambitious comic film of all time or destined to be a rare mistep by Disney.   The truth is, it is hard to tell at this point which way it will all go down.  Recent news includes conformation…

Comic Broker Report – April 2013

The Comic Broker\’s Report: April 2013 By Topher Seal As my wife and I prepare our Groot and Rocket Raccoon costumes for this year\’s Boston Con we realized that creating giant trees and massive guns out of PVC pipe and cardboard is a hassle.  This lead to a bet.  I believe that Rocket Raccoon is…

Comic Broker Report – March 2013

The Comic Book Broker’s Report ( March 2013 ) By Topher Seal      Most of us who collect comics also collect other things and while I believe that none of you want to know how I acquired a hang nail from Red Sox Slugger David Ortiz, I can assure you that there is plenty of…

Comic Broker Report – More Modern Heat

The Comic Book Broker\’s Report ( March ) By Topher Seal     This month is sort of a sequel to last month\’s article concerning modern comics and the ridiculous prices being paid for new books.   If you love trading in volatile markets then this current comic market is the place for you.  Many collectors…

Comic Broker Report – February 2013

The Comic Book Broker’s Report ( February ) By Topher Seal      I just cannot believe the online market for current comics.  People are throwing down some serious cash during poor economic times for unproven, highly speculative books.  Now I won\’t recommend that you go and spend nearly 200 dollars for Peter Panzerfaust 1…
