New Comic Book Day

boggles my mind how many copies are available for under $20, yet the $30 sales keep happening…

Lots of lazy buyers on eBay

You know what’s also strange? I have “or best offer” on but I have never gotten an offer for AB1. I also have tons of views but not a single watcher. They see and they scoop. This book seems to break all the rules so it’s hard to know where it will end up.

This has to be considered a pretty good spec/flip year at this point. And, it’s mostly new issues that have been so good. Crazy.

This is what happens when the demand is way more than most account holders expected. Older spec gets hot depending on what news drops

Well…the book we love to discuss just became the #1 book on the other Top 10 list folks tend to follow.
I realize there are many “hot lists” but I do think the weekly trending 20 hot list & the CBSI top 10 are still the ones that tend to get the most views and followers (or have actual impact) Certainly debatable I suppose.
Anyway, being featured on these should certainly keep the fire stoked for those of you selling.

Why would an ashcan of absolute wonder woman show up the day the comic comes out? I don’t get it. Thanks for the warning though!

Also, unless I misunderstand how ashcan’s work, why would there be an ashcan for Absolute Batman #2?

To cause FOMO and to keep the title in the news. People nowadays in the TikTok era has the attention span of a peanut. If it came out a week early people might forget about it when the book comes out.

Long ago, I collected baseball and basketball cards. When they started playing games like this, I was out. Looks like I’m gonna be completely out of comics the way things are transpiring in the comic book world probably sooner rather than later.

because they had had them last week at nycc
