The Clay Mann Shonen Jump Absolute Batman 25’s were $8.99 (if you could find them) on Wednesday or if you preordered them.
Now they’re $70-$80 and climbing on eBay. For reference, the Clay Mann Absolute Batman Chainsaw Man homage cover 1st print is $1000. Not saying this’ll do the same but I think there’s room for it to keep going up.
Clay Mann's foil cover for Absolute Batman #25 (Cover L) is our #1 out of all 130 covers.
Cheapest one on eBay is $42 and it jumps right to $50 with another two sales. We may have picked up a few that were signed by @Ssnyder1835 today on @Whatnot.
Price update on Mega Gengar ex SIR: around $700 to $735, about 40% below its spring peak. Still the top English card in Ascended Heroes, and still the Halloween pick. Details: keywire.io/signals/why-mega-…

The Clay Mann foil of Absolute Batman #25 jumped from its $8.99 cover to $60 in one day. That's the open-order manga-magazine cover, and signed copies are going for $100. Lunar, one of DC's distributors, is out of copies.
Gunn says DCU Batman casting "isn't very far away." He'll cast someone around Superman's age.
Gunn also said he'd "bend over backwards" to keep Margot Robbie as Harley. He wants Idris Elba back as Bloodsport, and the Waller series isn't dead yet.
Archie #2 from Oni sold out. A second print with a new Immonen cover ships Nov 25.
Monday is the last day for shops to place orders for books shipping in late November and December. Across all publishers, 99 rare ratio variant covers are up for order. The standout is Lancer #1's Paul Pope variant, a 1-in-100 ratio cover, meaning shops get one copy per 100 regular copies they order.
A Reddit collector says the PSA 10 2002 Expedition Dragonite that sold for $288,000 on Fanatics Collect is fake.
He says he owns a slab with the same cert number.
Fanatics CEO Nick Bell says they're investigating.
Do you check the cert on every slab you buy?
Pokémon is coming to McDonald's Happy Meals on November 10 in the US.
Each meal has one of 15 mini box toys plus two random cards from a 15 card promo set, including Jirachi and Snorlax.
GameStop just added Rolex watches to its Power Packs. A $5,000 digital pack can now pull a watch worth up to $79,700, and you can sell it back, ship it, or keep it vaulted.
Would we rip a $5,000 pack?
Yes
Would we keep the watch?
No way, cash out and buy cards instantly

Stoked on this, especially after reading Absolute Batman 25 yesterday (twice).
DC has expanded Absolute Catwoman from 6 issues to 12, running through 2027. The extra issues were planned around the final page of Absolute Batman #25.
No spoilers here so we won't say what happens.
Are you collecting Absolute Catwoman, or only Absolute Batman?
