The Day After Wednesday for 1/4/2018

HOT

GREEN LANTERNS #38 (DC) – With the appearance of a new villain, RED TIDE, both covers are selling for $10. Sets are (obviously) $20. This is so close to being WARM as eBay is currently flooded with copies. Undercutting hasn’t yet started, but probably already has by the time you’re reading this. Don’t fret; a first appearance with the character on the cover is usually a solid long-term spec.

SECRET WEAPONS #0 (VALIANT) – It drives me a little nuts that Valiant re-numbers their titles so frequently. But I digress. The 1:50 Polina variant sold for $100 and the 1:20 is primed for $50. Always buy high ratio Valiant variants. They’re fantastic flips.

WARM

BATMAN #38 (DC) – Yeah, I know. You feel this should be HOT. Yes, both the variant and the standard cover for “The origin of Bruce Wayne” were selling decently between $7-$10 shipped, which roughly doubled your money. Earlier today, sets were selling for $20 shipped. As I write this, the flood has risen and they have dropped to about $13 shipped for a set. A copy of the Tim Sale cover sold for as low as $5.50 shipped.   I would personally only buy the Coipel variant as it has the best long term potential.

POPEYE CLASSICS ONGOING #65 ZOMBIE 1:10 VARIANT (IDW) – Remember how overdone Zombie variants were at one point? With the now overdone Venom and Batman Who Laughs variants becoming simply exhausting, this is a well-welcomed old friend. It’s a great variant for a character that you wouldn’t associate being grotesquely zombie-fied. There are no current sales for this insanely hard to find 1:10 variant. I’m leaving this as WARM as I’m positive that it will sell really well once a copy is listed.

COOL

BATMAN AND THE SIGNAL #1 (OF 3) (DC)

BATMAN WHITE KNIGHT #4 (OF 8) (DC) – Selling for a tad over cover price plus shipping. Sellers are doing well pairing this issue with #3.   You’re not making a profit, but it helps issue #3 to sell over solo copies.

COSMO #1 (ARCHIE) – This is currently selling for cover. Full sets of all the variants have been selling for $35-40 shipped. Hopeful sellers have their standard copies listed for around $20.

DUCKTALES #1 2ND PTG (IDW)

GAO #1 (ANTARTIC)

KOSHCHEI THE DEATHLESS #1 (OF 6) (DARK HORSE)

NINJA-K #1 2ND PTG (VALIANT)

PLANET OF THE APES URSUS #1

RISE OF BLACK PANTHER #1 (OF 6) (MARVEL)

ROGUE & GAMBIT #1 (OF 5) (MARVEL)

SINK #1 (OF 5) 2ND PTG (COMIX TRIBE)

TRANSFORMERS VS THE VISIONARIES #1 (OF 5) (IDW) – Keep an eye on the RI-B 1:20 variant. There are no copies for sale and I have a feeling that this could do decently.

VAN HELSING VS ROBYN HOOD #1 (OF 4) (ZENESCOPE)

WALKING DEAD #175 SIENKIEWICZ VARIANT (IMAGE) – I thought these were going to be hard to find. However, the standard cover was sold out at my LCS and a stack of this variant still sat on the shelf.

WATCHVARK #1
