You know, one of the things I've always wanted to see happen to r.a.c.m
is a "mini-overstreet" where people report on what they have seen
things going for in there area.  Information is one of the big
reasons I read this and I suppose it can't hurt to try and get something
started.
 
SO...why not start with the biggest thing to come along in years...well,
months...okay, this week: SUPERMAN #75.  What have YOU seen this one
going for, in all its soon-to-be versions?  Prices are fine, overheard
# of copies sold, volume purchases, etc. are great too but ANYTHING is
fine.  Oh yeah, fighting-over-them-like-Cabbage-Patch-Dolls-type stories
are great too.
 
I'll start with:
 
In SW Lower Michigan it was pretty crazy on Wed and Thurs.  It appeared
that everyone underestimated the demand for this book.  At the stores
I work at (cough, hrm...well now you know why I find information so useful)
went thru 750 copies the first day.  From the phone (CURSE THAT RINGING 
MONSTER! SMASH! POW!) calls that poured in, we think we could have sold
3 times that amount.  (Yeah, we blew it)  It appears that the other
stores also sold out in one day too.  No greed/fighting stories, people
were very casual about it and no one was mad about the sell-out.  We
are also expecting another run when the reorder-reprints arrive, tho.
It appears the going rate for the bagged copy around here is $10 as I write
this.
 
So, what's up with Supes out there?  I would find r.a.c.m reports more
useful that 2-month-old market reports, and I have a feeling I'm not the
only one.
 
Now you know, and knowing's half the battle.

Gee, if you take good care of it, one copy can be readover and over
again.  There is not much point in 9 back-up copies. :)

Seriously, if you are speculating, I don't recomend pay $3.50
for Superman 75.  That's just dumb.  Buy low and sell high not vice versa.

As for the newstand copies, in my area the true newstands don't
get this issue until Monday!  (I'm writing this late Sunday night,
but you get the idea.)

I have a copy of Superman #75 that I am willing to sell.
I actually have a bagged limited edition copy and one 
newstand copy that I am considering selling. I don't
know how much these are worth since they just came out,
but if you are interested please e-mail me an offer. I
don't care if I sell these comics seperatly or not. It
would be good to buy both if you have not read the story,
becuase that way you can leave the bagged comic sealed.
I also have some extra copies of the Doomsday story line
that I might sell if the offers are high enough. If anyone
is at all interested in these comics please e-mail me at
pkj@halcyon.com

Thanks for your time.

Howdy,
	I used to collect comics.  I don't anymore...I got tired paying $5 for 2 month
old comics.  BUT, I am trying to get together a smaller collection.  I want to
get nice (NM or M) copies of all the comics that came out in February of 1966
(My birth month of course).  Believe it or not, they're hard to find.  If
anyone out there can help me, I'd appreciate it.
	As far as specific issues, the only ones I'm even halfway sure of are
Fantastic Four #47 and Spiderman #20.  I could be wrong.
	Anyway, thanks for the help.

The #1 Brigade GOLD EDITION for $30 dollars or

seen many copies for $20 dollars or less in
several comic shops. I think that before anyone
buys Jim Cowling's copy of Brigade, they should 
look at the shops in their area. Maybe even check
some mail oder places because $30 is just to much,
not to mention he is accepting offers that are higher.

What a 'Phone Book' is is the bound compilation of ALL comics on the

Silver Sable #1 umongst many many others.  It consists of 3 'Phone

interiors, even the ads.  A very hard to come by item for the comic
collector.  Some outlets (when they can even get them) sell them at
$300 a pop, but I will sell them at $100.  This is a VERY hard to get
item, so the first one who wants it, gets it.  Post me a message or

  If you want to buy holo's from any of the above mentioned cards sets, I
have complete sets of all holo's except the McFarlane Era S-M & Wolverine II.

on the topic of the second run of superman 75 killing the value of 
the first run, check your source.
My source, a local comic store, says the second run will be 
rightfully marked as being a second print. And according to
Comic Shop News, DC plans on placing a Roman numeral II in the
upper left-hand corner of the comic.

Just my input.

From Toronto, Canada...

All major stores sold out within 3hrs to 1 day of release of Superman
#75.  In virtually all stores, the newsstand copies were gone first
(within an hour or two).

By Friday, copies (when found) were healthily selling at $25-70!!
That $70 could be an anomoly though because it's by a store (GREY REGION)
that's infamous for gouging customers.  Copies were being *bought back*
at $20 a pop... not bad for a 3 day investment!!

Over the weekend, not much change.

Everyone knows about the second printings (which will also, needless to say,
fly off the shelves [see Solar #10]).  The trade paperback  will also 
be coming out too -- but no bagged editions because it's just too darn
hard to get those little thingys inside the bags...

Earlier chapters of the Doomsday storyline were selling from $6-10 (first
parts) to about $2-3 (last parts prior to #75).

** end of report.

I'm looking for JLA #70. I missed getting a copy because of the
SuperDeath. The store I go to had tons of Supes #75 but only got 
a few JLA's. It had sold out by the time I got there. If anyone
out there got a copy they'd be willing to part with, I will buy
it for the right price or will trade for it. I have an extra copy
of all the Doomsday issues(all first prints) that I would trade.
Anyone interested can e-mail me or leave a post here.
