It's a PRIVATE SALE offering. Many of the comics are restored or low grade.

How long until we hear about speculators hoarding these books because they have "limited distribution"?

Sad to say I'm seeing comic dealers closing their brick and mortar stores (still in business for e-sales and probably down the road conventions). Here's a question: Anyone hear of hoarding "corona virus era" comics starting yet?

I have read all of the Detectives, Batman's, World's Finest's, Star Spangled's (Robin by the way, had more GA appearances than Batman), and newstand one-off's (All-Star, etc.) into the 1950s via the Archives and Omnibus volumes. Frankly, I really like the late 40s and early 1950s comics.

Bringing this thread back full circle, the impact of coronavirus on the comic market is now devestatingly clear and much worse than any thought: Cons cancelled yes, but also new comics cancelled, LCS’s mothballed, comic movies delayed, and potentially more to come. As predicted the real impact was from the virus not the stock market.

Too good to pass up. I'll take them.

It's the famous scene from "It's a Wonderful Life" when there's a run on the S&L, folks want to sell out to Potter, and George calms the panic by asking people "Why's Potter buying?"

I knew you loved this book because I sold you one I hope you still have!

How many FC 456 do you have?

Bitcoin is down 50% against the dollar from its one year high. The dollar is up against the Euro and the Pound.

Isn't this really Geppi taking one for the team?

The $2,500 a WEEK "customer" in Lighthouse's post is, I think, an average LCS ("a decent-sized $2500/wk customer").

Not sure what DC doing something has to do with Marvel. But, in your example, I can't fault a corporation for not wanting to be associated with people of bad reputation. We live in a "me to" world, and hanging with Harvey Weinstein is no longer cool. Corporations have to protect their image, and if that means refusing to employ people who are engaged in activities that imperil the corporate reputation - so be it. That's been the way corporations have acted for many many years.

Kate Brown was delaying due to business pressures. She's no commie. The insufficiently_thoughtful_persons who overloaded the beaches west of Portland made it so she had to take action. Clearly, there were too many Oregonians not seeking to protect others and themselves.

If you haven't gotten one yet, I think the strikers have taken a vacation.

Your example is "Caramba, y'all are everywhere."? Really?

When? And who?

Show me the panels. Personally, as a white person who came from a state that literally banned black people from residing in that state, I can see why revulsion toward white folks is sometimes justified.

Yeah, I'm not seeing that. Your jihad against "SJWs" seems more than a bit over the top to me. What have SJWs done to you again?

Marvel is not a bully. You don't have to buy their drek. And in this case, my guess is few will.

The PRMC was founded in 1985 by Tipper Gore and Susan Baker - the wife of Reagan's Secretary of Treasury James Baker. It was not a liberal group. It was a group started by concerned parents who overreacted to something they could not understand. It didn't actually push for censorship, it pushed for warning labels. Which the record companies did. Historically, censorship of music and comics has been a conservative impulse, pushed by people who are overreacting to something they don't understand. Tipper was definitely on the conservative side of that debate with James Baker's wife and the book burning types (the same folks who burned EC's in the 50s). The thing is this: Most people are NOT always liberal or always conservative. We tend to have opinions which can transcend the political spectrum. While Tipper is generally liberal, the PRMC was a more conservative impulse on her part.

Marvel readers, you can be sure, noticed Stan Lee’s support of civil rights. One reader wrote Stan in 1969 to complain about Marvel’s support for civil rights, ending his letter by stating “I’m not a racist, just a concerned Marvelite who doesn’t want his favorite comic company to be ruined by something that doesn’t concern you as comic publishers.” Stan’s published response in the letters page of the comic?: Stan Lee didn’t stop trying.

You are looking a lot like a SJW dumped you on a date.

What do you collect now, Mark? still chasing ashcans?

Safe Space and Snowflake is so stupid is sounds like a parody. Or a plant by Russian trolls.
