Anyone’s Golden Apple orders getting shipped/cancelled?

Listing shows as sold out now…I guess they finally sold all 100k copies!

They had them listed in one of their emails. It’s funny because their emails often reflect things that I’m talking about on the main site and sometimes even in the forum so I wonder if they readers.

I feel as though it’s only a matter of time before golden apple sends out a mass email about a website glitch or something like that, canceling all our orders.

But but but… Golden Apple is so so honest, and trustworthy, and kind, and such impeccable customer service, and such an incredible business, and and and I just can’t say enough great things about them.

Picked up a Mark Spears ROTLD 1 today…when I got home noticed it had color rub on the front spine and some other defects. Hoping my other copies so ordered don’t show up with these.

Decided to list it at $15 just to get rid of it. Sold within an hour.

First sale of 2025!

3 of the 10 I ordered had color rub issues…

I haven’t bought many keenspot books. Is this typical?

Not a Keenspot book. American Mythology. Never had an issue with any books ordered directly from Keenspot though.

Ah. That explains why my shop had one copy, but never get any of the Monsters books…I don’t think they’ve ordered a keenspot book before.

All my Keenspot (and Dynamite) Mark Spears books have been fine. This is the first I think I’ve ordered American Mythology so I’m not sure if this is typical or not.

Forbidden plant just notified me they fulfilled the 15 copies I ordered of ROTLD #1. So, will be sitting on 30 copies.

Prices are rebounding with copies hitting $20 in recent sales.

Wondering if the Benchmark of Excellence; the Top Tier organization; the shining example; the golden starndard of comic book stores, the one, the only, :nauseated_face: :nauseated_face:Golden Apple :face_vomiting: :face_vomiting: :face_vomiting: is fulfilling orders with NM copies?

So I just did a December sales review and determined that ~38% of my sales in December were mark spears related covers/art (28 sales in total). So far, for this month, with 11 sales total, Spears makes up 64%. I usually keep, at minimum, 100 items listed. I will randomly sale something here and there but spears continues to dominate. Enjoying it while it lasts.

Yep - all things that make inordinate amount of money come to an end. But enjoy now.
Remember the days when any random, common, nonsensical CGC 9.8 comic got around $100? - That was a used Yugo car within a snake oil bottle. Great times back then

Have any Spears covers outside of Monsters or his first been selling? I have a handful of his other covers, but none seem to be going anywhere.
