I don’t think there is much hyping up going on. It is more we are noticing a trend and a very well documented one that certain types of books are starting to move very well.
I’ve never been able to keep this book more than a few days after listing. This feels like another Shirahama or other beefcake covers that exploded in later 2025.
Don’t sleep on Jamal Campbell Nightwings, for sure. 102 is broaching $30 now.
I find a lot of shops put recent stock away. One shop today (that I’ve never been to before) had variants up to 89 in long boxes, then jumped to 118 on the shelf.
They’re small stores which move recent shelf books into storage.
I’m basically tapped out of Nightwing books to sell, and I feel like I’ve cleared my whole metro area out. I’ve been buying Putri covers and Campbell covers when they are in dollar bins, but the current hot stuff is gone here, sadly.
