I looked and the eBay buyer was in Virginia and the Mercari buyer was in Indiana I believe.
Yup. Dems the ones.
I am hoping people aren’t taking these as a brag or a humble brag but I am just thrilled with how this year has been going. Thanks in big part to this forum with the info we share and especially the hunt list.
This morning started off easy. Woke to a Mercari sale of a beef cake Nightwing cover. Day 47 in the bag with a sale. Ended up with a couple of extra ones last night. Small stuff sold.

It’s funny how these sales go. I NEVER have 10 orders in one day, but I’ll have 10 days straight of 1 or 2 orders. It always trickles in, never in one big wave.

My mailbox can hold like eight Gemini mails at one time I’ve never really gone over that except for when there’s a super hot book that I have a bunch of copies of
I could probably rival you in consecutive sales if I trickled out my hot books, I’ve had so many recently. But I find I the act of listing books always takes up more time than I think it will…and sometimes I’ll go up to a week before listing something I just picked up.
It sounds like you have more regular access to shops that order abundant amounts and flippers are slow to react. Winning combination there…
I had 105 eBay sales this year (tied with you) but not as many Mercari. That was before the 6 that sold yesterday (along with 2 on Mercari).
I don’t see it as a brag; it’s a reminder that sales are happening and indicator of the market at times. My sales slowed when yours was almost going to slow down.
Full credit to you, and to the forum. There are a lot of varied books selling above cover, and this forum is very good at spotting them.

90% of my sales are DC. I am a Marvel guy. I see DC doing something very right. I see Marvel stagnation. As a result more money of mine is going into DC flips than Marvel collection pieces.

I do not think you are bragging. I think we all are here because we’re all rooting for each other. There is plenty of market for all of us.

Wait a minute. That sounds like an insult.
It is, cause no matter how many times you remind me your mom says you’re special, you’re not really that special… 
are any of the invincible team up variants worth buying, my favorite are the exquisite corpse and rook covers.

They’re fun, but I wonder if any will take off more than others.

I might grab the GIJoe and Transformers ones, possibly Spawn. No idea if any will heat up but figured those three properties would be the safe bet. Maybe the D’Orc one also if that gravy train is still rolling. It amazes me that any books take off with the sheer amount of variants of every issue of every title that seem to come out.

At my one LCS. They are putting up books. So many people wondering around the new comic wall. This never happens. They are waiting for White Sky to be put out. You can tell. I am here every Tuesday before slumping over to the other store to do spoilers. There are never Tuesday shelf waiters. They are all looking at the boxes to see when they come out to grab for their boxes.

How is you LCS letting people buy stuff on Tuesday and not getting the wrath of Diamond…er, Lunar and PRH cuz Diamond is dead?
