Ok, the dust has settled, hype has moved on to something else, shelves have been restocked, additional copies circulated, and the secondary y market’s comic book pump and dumps have dissipated. Let’s look at July 17, 2019’s comic book releases and see if there is anything of value that I (or perhaps you) might be interested in purchasing for the long haul.

GI Joe A Real American Hero 256 C Cover Sean Beck

Retailing at $8.50 USD the week of, one solid sale is at $14 USD. This 1:10 ratio is now for sale for $22 USD.

Glow 4 B Cover Nicoletta Baldari

There is no sales data for this one right now, but one listing at $44 USD. Not a bad return on a $4 face value comic book (if you were so fortunate). I’ll pass, however.

Powers of X B Cover Mark Brooks

This connecting set was $12 USD the day of; today, expect to pay +$ 40 USD for the set. The undying lure of the X-Men franchise, I guess.

Powers of X E Cover Joshua Cassara

Also $6 USD the day, now fetching $8 – 12 USD a piece.

Gutt Ghost Till We Meet Again 1

I wanted this Scout release, but had zero chance the day of its release. This issue seems to be holding in the $10 USD – 15 USD range.

Love She Offered 1

This one retailed at $4.99 USD, but is holding resale value around $14-15 USD. I smell movie (or something else live action.)

My Pick for the Week

This is the one a) I didn’t get but b) will get. Easy enough, yes?

No surprise here, and it didn’t meet the criteria above (+25% of ratio’s cover price) but I am going to target :

Canto 2 B Cover Morgan Beem

This one would have cost $20 USD the day of its release; today, the price is around $18 USD for this 1:10 Morgan Beem ratio. I’m adding this one to my secondary market watch list (don’t worry; I’m not mentioning anything about the Gnostics here again!)

That’s it for this week; let me know what I missed or what you are thinking about getting. Thanks for reading, as always.
