Double ratio is always a nice profit.
expect this one is double cost on cover
Artgermās Uncanny X-men #1 from FanExpo Canada. Artgerm is always hot. Iām gonna make a post on a separate thread in case anyone wants some with the CHU hookup.

Is there a link to fan expo exclusives?
Dang, they were cheaper through FanExpoās site than through Artgermās website, even cheaper than the prices on the Expo Floor.
Heās learning from J. Scott Campbell I see.

Generate multiple comics with that exact image; but a different background, different color and various prices.
In other words, do as little as possible - make as much money as possible.
Iām actually impressed.

Oddly enough, two of those Avengers vs Aliens books sitting on the rack this week after nothing there all last week?
Always worth taking a look a week later too I guess.
I have a shop here that does this. Iāll never understand their logic. They have a new release section for this weekās current books and 3 other shelves next to it with issues from the previous weeks. The shelf is big enough and deep enough where they can put a stack of the current issue on display. They donāt do this, instead they put 1 copy of cover A and a copy cover B next to it. If thereās a cover C and they ordered it, theyāll put a copy there too.
So if someone buys the cover A, the area will be empty until a staff member fills it with another copy. Makes no sense whatsoever. Itās just empty space that they can use to put 20 copies behind the cover A.
Now I know how this shop works so if I donāt see a copy sitting on the shelf (ie Ultimate Spider-man 1), Iāll go ask a staff member if they have any copies left, 95% they will have multiple copies behind the counter.
Just nonsensical retailing. Most people see the shelf empty and move on, they wonāt bother to ask for the issue.

For some shops, you have to factor in damage replacement and reorder shipments that arrive later. You say that one always has more on release day so idk.

Some shops actually put extra books in long time customer pull listsā¦and when the customer comes in and says they donāt want it it may go onto the shelf.
Happens from time to time at my LCS. That and if someone doesnāt pick up their pull list after a while all the books go back on the shelf.

My shop does that. They sometimes throw extra books in peopleās boxes if they think you might like them. You arenāt obligated to buy them. They just put them back in the shelf if you decline.

Do you guys think this has any legs with Ellie taking over the Deadpool series? Deciding if I should unload mine. Thereās still people selling for $30 but it seems like it got a little bump. Was $15-20 earlier, my laziness paid off again.
deadpool movies $$$$ does not translate into comic sales
so no

Sell now before it happens and possibly fizzles. Deadpool wonāt be dead for long. Maybe itāll relaunch as a team-up book with him and his kiddo doing crimes or solving crimes. Maybe both.

Hmm. To sell or not to sell?
Was putting away comics and realized the one Grommets #1 I grabbed is the 1:10 variant that is going for $65 to $75. I like the series a lot. Sell and grab a second print or hold? What say you
Pretty hot right now. I donāt know why it would get any hotter down the line to be honest. I donāt feel like things tend to really do that anymore. The only way it may potentially is the whole āitās been optionedā craziness that happens, but even that doesnāt seem to make people lose their minds the way it once did.
I say SELL SELL SELL while the gettings good!

If it is a book Iām attached to for whatever reason I list it above the going rate, that way the stacks of cash will soothe the hole in my heart. Or it doesnāt sell and I can keep it like I wanted to anyway.

This series is a great read, but if I can get $65-$75, sell it. 98% of comics released donāt typically hold their value (especially mini-series). You could always come back after the series ends and probably buy it for a fraction of what you sold it for. Iām getting to the point with my collection that even if itās something I really love, if the money is good, take it and run. Just my opinionā¦
