TFAW $2 Sale

The volume of 1:100 and 1:50 comics that no one wanted at time of solicitation is simply incredible.
Was expecting a handful here and there; but it was pages and pages worth

Many are wising up….just because it’s a ratio doesn’t mean it’s “worth” any more than cover. And in many cases the ratio art was no better than cover A or other open orders. I say they’re still overpriced.

Obviously 2023 was not a great speculation year as well. So “incentive” to pay outrageous ratio prices.

Yea - just seeing the fruits of all the reasons why, all together at once, is pretty astonishing.

Not all are from sitting around unwanted. I mentioned last week that I had a huge shipment of 50’s and 100’s coming in from Part 2 of the Marvel ratio sale from Diamond. They do this regularly. I would assume they’re picking up copies like many other stores well after the originals arrived if they had sold out. The way I understand it is Diamond combines orders from multiple accounts and gets extras the accounts themselves individually didn’t qualify for. It’s not just Marvel either. They offer most publishers ratio’s up open order eventually one way or another. PRH on the other hand, appears to do nothing with theirs and the sales reps have no idea why or where the leftovers disappear to. Hopefully one day they start offering them up. Lunar I’m led to believe, just sells their leftovers directly to customers bypassing stores. I expect I may never see another DC ratio sale since they left Diamond and Diamond can’t play middle man to get any.

Here’s a few books that stood out to me passing through.

There are several Disney 100 books for $2 if you search.

1st Vampire Spawn?

1st Billie Morales (Adult)

(RIP Carl Weathers)

(1st Cobb Vanth)

I still have hope they figure out how to eventually get them into sale lists. They’re becoming more frequent with their other sales lists now from comic boxes to codes for percentage off lists of titles. I bring it up with the reps or by phone every 6 months or so to remind them. Over at Diamond where they say the Thundercats are sold out except those 3 foils, I know they’re sitting on a ton of leftover ratios but they run the Dynamite Ratio Sales a bit different charging more for each size generally. The 50’s may eventually release for $10 each, the $25’s for $5, the smaller one’s from $2 to $5 each.

I remember some interest here for this book. Issue 1, 1:50 for only $12.50 if anyone is interested.

The TFAW $2 sale and 75% off variants is back up. Haven’t had a chance to look through it yet but will tonight.

D-Rog · December 9, 2024, 11:45pm

Seems like the link is pulling up all books…some are not discounted.

Was it last year where TFAW had their $2 sale, then the next week reduced it to $1?

D-Rog · December 10, 2024, 12:54am

I looked back and it was March time frame when they did the $1 sale. But it was mostly the same non-ratio books.
