If rare equaled value, then there would be 50 -100 titles every week that didnt hit 1500 copies printed, and should be seeing huge gains. There are books released every week with a print run in the hundreds.
The book, RWBY #7, is a nothing book. It currently has a false demand based on false information. There is no good reason to buy this book, imo, unless you read issues#1-#6 and want to know what happens in #7.
The sold listings for this book go back to, at least, January 3rd on EBay. If this book was available for sale on Jan.3, then wouldn’t that make it available for sale somewhere other than these Walmart packs?
I really don’t understand all the hate people are having here for the rwby 7. If you can get it for $10, and flip it for a hundred or even a thousand. What’s the problem? Is it simply because you can’t find one to make the profit? It is all essentially the same concept as buying the hot book off the shelf at your lcs. Opportunity presents itself, so profit off it. Use the money towards something you wouldn’t get otherwise. Is it false demand? Sure I can see that to a degree. But the entire hobby is false demand a majority of the time. And people who had those books didn’t seem to mind making profits then
Lots of fanatical Ewok fans out there. Wide appeal and another example of a comic that appeals to a fan base/buyers who don’t necessarily care about comic books as a whole.
You put any of the Ewok comics on a table at a toy show you’ll sell them. The other nice thing is that most of the toy collecting, Ewok fans aren’t even that worried about condition.
IMy belief is that the contempt for that Rwby is an indirect warning from the boardies to indicate “don’t be that guy on these boards that pays the hundreds/thousand dollars for this book”…
I think above and beyond that is sell it if you have it!
Let someone else own the used sink
You’ve mistaken indifference for hate. I don’t care what anybody spends their own money on. I simply gave a logical reason as to why the book is unimportant to me. Smoke 'em if you got 'em…
I would agree with this sentiment. I think everybody here is saying “smoke em if you got ‘em, but don’t buy on the secondary market and be the guy or gal holding this hot potato when it cools.”
I still think the dude shoving the Rwby 7s in the Walmart packs just grabbed the stacks of B covers first and exhausted that supply before moving on to the As. Or DC just didn’t ship the bulk of A’s yet. No way The number of A covers printed is less than B. We’ll see more A’s when the inevitable second wave of these packs hits Walmarts.
My closest one hasn’t gotten them yet…so hoping to still score an A cover.
Sold 3 of my 4 B’s. My last one sits at $65…and my refusal to drop it lower the past few days has benefitted several live auctions as they seen to land on/near $65 consistently.
Clearly, Wednesday will tell the story, but I’m seeing signs the Eva/Stegman cover for SA #16 may do fairly well.
Thanks to @monopolyjackson as I believe he gave the initial heads up on here.
It’s funny as I’m just now seeing talk about “oh… it’s not Adams… it’s Stegman?..oh Eva…!” Things you really assume everyone is aware of or went heavy on…but perhaps did not.
I will say that of the seven Walmarts that I checked out, and with the ‘I am Batman’ packs, I only found one each of RWBY 7 A and B covers, a JSC Catwoman, and a Blue Sketch Batman 1027 cover. I did notice some other variants in these packs. Make of this what you will as far as rarity. But I’m with the sell it if you got it crowd - NOW !!
Hell yes. Grab those packs, flip the RWBY asap and don’t look back. Maybe 10,000 As show up. Maybe 100 do. Who cares, as long as you are the seller and not the buyer.
This right here… sell, don’t buy unless you find in a pack. Let people with too much cash and FOMO spend ridiculous amounts of money on a book that should be worth nothing…
