Beefcake Heating Up šŸ’Ŗ

Yeah, that was not the best way to articulate what he really meant to say…I believe he was trying to say from his experience is that men are less spontaneous or impulsive when purchasing books.

And that isn’t necessarily a male thing…I think it’s more that seasoned/experienced collectors of comics (which has been male dominated) have been trained/influenced over time to think of books as ā€œinvestmentsā€ to some extent. While new collectors (which is more male/female balanced) are more about being in just the moment and the experience buying the book just because they want it.

The new blood coming in, regardless of gender, just has a different approach to buying and collecting.

Maybe, but then again it was an off the cuff comment and many watchers may not deep dive into beefcake comics selling well.

FYI I sold two Nightwing books yesterday. Both to women. One was the cat Meme cover and the other was the 109 romance novel looking cover.

Not only more women buyers, but international sales are way up for me. 3 of my last 4 sales were to Germany, UK, and Australia.

Ditto. Mexico and Canada here.

I don’t know where they are going but had a bunch of eBay international shipping partner sales. Guy hit my up asking if I ship to the UK. Told him I do through eBay global shipping. He said thanks and purchased some Nightwing.

It’s not even a good cover, I just find it amusing DC is fully leaning into beefcake/thirst trap covers on a regular basis so I can make money off them whenever possible :man_shrugging:

Wish they’d lean into more pumpkin spicy covers too.

Gotta love DC. Marvel is lost.

Eventually, Marvel will get hot again and DC will seem lost… it’s a back and forth type of game.
