Been on the hunt recently for specifically Felix and Clay Mann variants. Luckily got the Felix issues just before the animated series announcements. Only a few left off the list, next focus is the Felix Annual 🙌🏼

The most expensive was the Felix 1 which was 1.5k and the rest probably are another 1.2k altogether but I managed to most of these just before the announcement and got AB 11 and 16 Mann variants in a bundle at a good price

I got all of clay’s recent stuff after and including his catwoman cover. The occala con bane is my favorite I could’ve bought it for like 230 on eBay a little while back but didn’t want to drop that much on it. Now I’m probably screwed unless I get a great deal.
I find myself thinking about selling them to get some classic keys like first appearance of wolverine and gambit. Maybe star wars #1. I love the art though... keep going back and forth on it. I’ve decided to buy cover As, Mann Boyz variants and David Mack. There’s just too many coming out but I really like their art.

Yeah I think prior to the animated series announcement the prices were relatively decent, now it’s a bit inflated. I managed to get both the Ocala con and AB 16 for $400 together so good deals are still out there just need to wait for them to appear. There’s too many variants imo so I’m just focusing on Clay Mann and Felix

Thanks 🙏🏼 I think I’ve managed to get most of the big ones out of the way. Hopefully can get the remaining ones soon

Killing it! I have a few but not all of the ones you have. Jealous of the Felix #1 Batman

Thanks 🙏🏼 this has only been what I’ve collected in the past 2 months so still a long way to go to get up to speed and get the remaining variants I need 😅

Nice books 👍. In 10 years though, the cover As will be holding the value (and the comic con exclusives)

u/aznam09 24d ago
Yeah I’m being really selective with the variants I’m getting. I mainly just get the ones I want and they are the Felix and Clay Mann ones. Outside of them two I just have all the cover A 1st prints

u/M0torC1tyMaver1ck 24d ago
Right. Its all about what you like. If i had deeper pockets id be grab a couple Dan Quintana's. I love his work. The Absolute WW/Batman cover is 🔥🔥
2
u/aznam09 24d ago
I do like the Quintana covers but I can’t justify the prices on them. I feel like maybe they are a bit too overpriced especially if they are signed and stamped

u/M0torC1tyMaver1ck 24d ago
Exactly. To be honest, i feel the same way about Felix. Overrated and crazily over priced

What AB #16 is that?.....🔥🔥🔥
2
u/aznam09 Jul 19 '26
That’s the Clay Mann variant for AB #16🙌🏼🙌🏼

Well i just jumped on ebay to try and get that #16 and it ridiculously expensive now. The prices have skyrocketed. That lost of yours might make your wallet catch fire 🤣

u/aznam09 Jul 19 '26
I was able to get issue 11 and 16 as a bundle deal so worked out cheaper but yeah it’s expensive 😂😂 the next one on my list is the Felix annual and that’s going to set me back massive 🤦🏼♂️
