yesterday i made a post about finding rogue's first appearance for $70 dollars, now i found this copy of the same book in nicer condition for $20 more dollars. is it worth it? read description.

in my profile you can find my other post about the other copy i found (the $70 dollars one). this one definitely has a better condition front cover (the other copy had some spine ticks and a very small spine split on the top left that i was afraid could have extended). the copy in this post ($90) has a small defect on the bottom left, but i think it's a corner ding or corner wear, not a split (write in comments if this seems the case for you too). the back cover in the $90 copy isn't in great condition, but i care about the front cover more and it doesn't have defects that i think could get "worse" like the spine split on the other copy. please you guys, tell me what you think.

Absolute Batman #25 - Biggest Non-Key Issue yet?

I'm largely a personal collector, but keep an eye out for investment opportunities casually. Looking for thoughts on the impact of this issue in the scope of an already bonkers total run so far?

Things that jumped out at me...

DC is pushing more open order variants than normal with a few being more-or-less unique to the run (glow in the dark, connecting, wrap around foil, etc.).

It's the culmination of the current story arc at a friendly number (#25).

The cover art features all major characters and is a banger imo.

Appreciate any constructive input.

Is there any kind of covrprice for signatures?

Other than just checking ebay sold listings, are there any tools to estimate value with and without a creator signature, the way covrprice helps estimate raw vs slab values? I know the specific creator and the condition of the comic and a lot of other factors play a role, but it's very hard to tell sometimes how much extra you should be willing to pay for a signature. Like I know Claremont is "easy" to get, but it's not always easy to find a signing, find a facilitator, and find pricing for all of that to compare to an already signed book.

is $75 (€65) a good price for this book? it's rogue's first appearance.

i'll add i live in italy, so it's not that easy of a book to find unless you order it on ebay from sellers from the united states, which would cost me around additional €20 ($23) to ship it to my country.

X-men #221 & x-men #239

X-Men #221, the first appearance of Mr. Sinister, is a great book, but probably not the best buy, and it’s mainly because of the cover, which isn’t that good, which could keep people away from this book mainly. But a CGC 9.8 of this book is going for $400, maybe less. But now let’s talk about the best buy that anyone should get. If you want to jump on the Mr. Sinister bandwagon, then you should buy X-Men #239, the first cover appearance and second overall appearance of Mr. Sinister, which, to me, is a way better buy than #221 because he’s on the cover. A CGC 9.8 of #239 last sold for $159, and no other sales after that, probably because sellers are trying to flip it for $200+, but still, I believe #239 is the better buy. I never wanted #221 because the cover is that bad, in my opinion, but buy whatever you want.😁

A PSA 9 of this card just sold for a little over $175k, and if you don’t know, that is worth more than an amazing fantasy #15 in a CGC 7.5 blue label 🏷️. I lowkey want to see what a PSA 10 of this card would go for.🤔

I have been trying to figure out this comic book. Picked up at a book rescuer. This cover is not showing up anywhere. Even Key collector is showing it.

Uncanny X-Men #221 Thought Experiment. Which would you rather have right now?

Given the hubbub around X-Men #221 since the casting announcement of Adam Driver, here's a question for you speculators:

Let's say both of these options below are on the table. If you had to choose only one option, which do you think is the better acquisition right now?

a) X-Men #221 CGC 9.8 Universal for $365
b) X-Men #221 CGC 9.6 Signature Series signed by Chris Claremont for $200

Some context.... this is a deal I considered today and did ultimately make my choice. My main objective is not just to see as large a return as possible (I mean, of course, that would be great), but to use the book as part of a deal to obtain a key or two in upper-mid grade that are still missing from the ASM run of #1 - 150 that I'm currently building. Most of what I need are early in the run.

I'm also open to alternative scenarios -- I defer to your knowledge and experience.

So which do you think is the better choice and why? And when would you deploy it as a sale or trade asset?

Secret Wars II Omnibus

A local store had an omnibus for Secret Wars II for $400. I felt it was overpriced. But the store owner is a well known seller on the east coast. So of course, I doubted myself. Please tell me my thoughts were valid.
