Comic Picks of the Week (ongoing)

Sales after that one. The top one is mine.

I feel like that Last Driver first issue third printing video-game homage could be a sleeper hit. Is it out this week or am I confusing my weeks?

I think it is.

That’s the Robocop homage.

#2 2nd print has the Nintendo video game homage coming out after.

And yet if that person actually clicked a button they’d see copies for $20 cheaper.

We are in such a D-Gen age of collectibles. I’ve been struggling to understand this behavior until I finally realized the younger generation just doesn’t give a F%#% if it’s a good deal or not. They just want the comic, or card, or whatever, and they want it now. We’ve become a society of Veruca Salts.

And if your at the top go the page (first thing they see) you’re more likely to get the sale than the next listing below.

@anthony has so many sales because he’s willing to take small profits to get numbers…it puts him at the top per how the algorithm works. And thus he is able to sell this book for $20 more than the copy offered directly below his listing when searched.

Amazing. The world we live in.

FYI - not a knock on Anthony. More power to him if he’s figured the system out.

I make a lot of smaller sales that I still profit from. Mostly because I source things cheap. To be fair to me most of the listed copies were at that price when I listed. Also, already shipped the book.

$40.99 & $50…really ?

Equals smart sellers!

Wish I had my copies on hand…although my gut says there could be a bank run on this and not enough copies to go around. And price heading upwards more.

Over/Under on the second print being announced? Tomorrow afternoon? Saturday before this week’s FOC?

I want this book to be worth more than the original. That would be hilarious.

Does anyone remember what went down when the original cover was released?

I was not aware of the spec game back then…and just had it on my pull so oblivious to any FOMO. Was the book hot out of the gate like this?

It quietly grew as I remember

Lowest BINs on ebay (US).

We have entered $60 territory on an open order book from the big 2 (or 3) the day before its release.

Has there ever been anything like this?

I don’t think Punchline even did this.

I got one at my local Comicshop. My other local Comicshop has zero in. I sold one. I’m holding the other. I wanna see where this goes.

It’s going to the moon.

No one (except Jim’s Comics) even talked about this. I mentioned it in my FOC article…but even then I said it might be short ordered. Lego covers haven’t been a hit in the past, and no cover reveal.

It became obvious we underestimated it when the set was announced…after FOC…and copies disappeared.

My shops didn’t order any either.

I just have to hope online shops don’t screw me over at this point. I did grab a copy from MCS pre FOC so should be ok there…

The one I got in Virginia sold and has been mailed. The other copy is staying with me. If this has legs I want to let it run a bit.

When people mention allocation people go crazy.

I like bringing back a classic…

That’s what I was looking for.

allocation

This is still the oldest and most classic… on CHU at least… made by… oh that’s right, me!
