Yesterday, Sony Pictures announced a new film in the Spider-Man Universe that is in development. It is about the Korean-American heroine Cindy Moon...AKA...Silk. In the comic universe, this is big news. Anytime a story like this breaks, collectors and speculators flock to snag the key issues involving said character. In this case, the 1st Appearance of Silk is in Amazing Spider-Man Volume 3 #4 from 2014. This is a book I have been telling folks to stock up on since the day it was released and while many listened....most did not and are now late to the party.
There are several versions of this book available. Let's take a look at them...shall we???
Here is the normal regular release.
Then there is the 2nd Printing which is literally the same exact thing....just with 2nd Print on it.
There is also the super cool 1:10 Ratio Humberto Ramos Variant Cover.
Those are all the covers that every comic shop across the world was able to get for this book...……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..Unless you were me. (cue villainous laughter)
My shop, Conquest Comics did not one...not two...but 3 different Variant Covers for this. We were insanely lucky to land these and to top it off have one of the most popular comic book artists on the planet do a stunning cover for us. We will never get that lucky again with a store exclusive variant.
Anyway let's take a gander at these beauties...
The J. Scott Campbell Color Variant...
The B&W Sketch version...
Then finally the super limited Reverse Negative...
Now the reason I bring this up today is because overnight we sold out of the small quantity we had online on our site and prices doubled to tripled on eBay. We put aside a small quantity of these for a "rainy day" as we do with all of our exclusives...sometimes it's pays off like in this case...Copies are now fetching between $100-$150 a pop raw....with signed 9.8's fetching over $400!!!
These are the rarest ones out there...by a long shot. Silk has tons of appeal and if done well could be a huge hit!!!
If interested in snagging any, feel free to head over to our site...I created a special coupon code for friends on Steemit for 10% off your purchase!
Nice way to sock away that nest egg, @blewitt! This is what non-collectors will never understand about the hobby: they're worth nothing until they're worth something, and that can take five, ten, twenty, or even more years for that to happen. May fortune continue to smile upon you. :)
Domino's first appearance in New Mutants is a great example: it was a two buck book for years...until it was a $200 book. :)
Why thank you kind sir!! Yeah some want instant gratification. Some of these things take some time.
yeey, Spidey
Word!
Too bad their attempting to make a universe without Spiderman. That wont pay off, we have seen Sony attempt to make superhero movies. While they are not bad movies, they arent the best. Creating a Spider-Man universe... without spiderman? Sounds like it could flop easily
Well I hope they tie in Cenom and the rest. We won’t know until it’s out.
Well Venom is connected to any Sony movie coming out. There were rumors that Tom Holland is in the movie but I doubt it
I hope he is in it...or even mentioned. Sony would be stupid to try to go this on their own again. The fan base that Marvel Studios has built in and the success of Spider-Man again should be enough to sway them but....
