The books that do the best, as far as value, are ones that arenât spoiled before foc. Less supply, and the demand didnât start until after the cut off. Plain and simple. Retailers want as much demand as possible beforehand to presell massive copies. Then the demand fades enough to see a drop in value. Glad to help.
Magical flying unicorns that fart rainbows in the sky might show up tomorrow⊠prove me wrong? <- Thatâs basically what youâre saying when you say, âThis book would probably be selling for $50 if you didnât talk about it prior to FOCâ⊠Jared, your logic is flawed and thatâs not logic, thatâs just you blowing hot air.
Also, Iâm not getting personal. Iâm attacking your illogical ideas of âwhat ifâ statementsâŠ
Imagine how high HR 1 would be if Previews didnât show it before FOC?

Again i disagree. Look at something is killing children. It was talked up insanely before foc yet today its a $200 book. Ur hypothesis is flawed.

Wow. Thatâs a big pre-order. Well done.
Imagine how high HR 1 would be if Marvel didnât announce it pre-FOC.
Bullshit⊠Legends of the Darkest Knight⊠no FOC talk, book is cover price once again. Who bought up all the copies? Speculators. Who flooded the market? Speculators. Less supply doesnât make something more desirable. Demand in general causes value to go up as supplies and availability go down or limited to start off with.
Seriously, youâre logic is flawed. Time after time we prove you wrong with actual real world examples.
If something has organic demand, the value will go up no matter print run size. I swear, I feel like a broken record repeating himself over and over⊠Print runs donât cause value, demand does. Supply and Availability only assist in the final value of what people are willing to spend.

âIt could beâ is a terrible argument, and has no logic involved whatsoever.
Where are your hard numbers? How many extra copies were ordered, of any given book, because it was mentioned on the internet pre foc? What percentage would that be of the final print run? Now take the going prices and do the math on those two numbers. That would actually give us a range of any potential gains in price. You need to provide a lot more data to back up your moot point. If those extra copies werenât printed because of âpre foc talkâ, can you provide proof that the book would be as âhotâ as it is? Wouldnât less initial readers be detrimental for the book, from less exposure to the market? You need a lot of numbers, that you canât provide, in order for your dragged out point to hold any water.

Tons of examples where small print run made the difference
I bet HR2 will be a killer book for value. Low print prob since early FOC
I bet a lot of people think the female jedi on the cover of HR #1 is the same one on HR Adventures #1.
I donât even know what this means. âSpoiledâ before FOC. Are you saying publishers should only solicit books (I.e. previews) after FOC???
If you want an industry to grow and flourish you donât hold it backâŠyou put it out there. And people talking about holding information back just for their own profiteering is selfish, short sighted and likely to backfire. Trying to manipulate the market will turn more money away than bring money to it.
Talking about books prior to FOC is good for comics. Plain and simple.
