    Always been strong here in Alberta. Edmonton and Calgary have a high number of LCSs per capita compared to other areas I visit.

    I’m not entirely sure, TBH, as I have been a recreational hockey card collector for the last couple decades, and don’t follow the graded market closely. I do remember the time period you recall, where BGS 9.5s drew the premium. Any graded card cognoscenti here to chime in?

    Yes. Unavailable for viewing by those named Stanley Lieber.

    There’s been a reputational shift. PSA draws the premium now.

    We have stores in Calgary you can order from.

    I only ordered a few - I figured it would be ordered well enough that supply would meet demand.

    Kirkman can say that, but it in no way acts as an edict to the market. I don’t really like the trend, but there’s no denying that collecting of various previews, and character appearances in promo items is on the rise.

    yeah, but when might this actually come out? 2024? Here’s the thing. Rumor sells as well or better than fact. Hence the stock market aphorism: buy the rumor, sell the fact.

    Raises a couple of questions. Is the case labelling an internal accounting process at the printer, in which case the overall number is on that label? Does Diamond get books sent to one main distribution site and then sub-distribute? Or are there similar case labelling amounts for all the distribution centres? Cloudier, the math is.

    Is this standard practice for store variants?

    I absolutely HATED the initial image released. Fortunately, the final colouring scheme makes it pretty reasonable.

    Nope. It’s not. But the economic principle isn’t ‘supply’, it’s ‘supply and demand’. I think his point is that 100,000 copies of a Star Wars book with multiple first appearances, divided over three covers, of which Star Wars completists will likely want all three, in the middle of a Star Wars furore like we’ve never seen... well, that 100K may not go as far as you think.

    Silver metallic ink on the second print, gold metallic ink on the third...

    Diamond was probably flooded with reorders. In this area, many stores are saying they will have very few, if any shelf copies to put out.

    Momoko can kill the momentum of any book. The market is over peached.

    But... are you still hoarding Revival?

    That wasn't time. That was the result of a competent writer developing the character. That's part of the process, when I say 'needs time'. These characters change and develop at the hands of the creators who handle them. You didn't think I meant we could just wait five years, and magically we'd see things differently, did you?

    Needs time. Deadpool was Deathstroke-lite at first.

    Surely we all know by now there are no rules that you can define these things by. It's impossible to say 'this happens, therefore it's a full'. Ultimately the market decides, and it's incredibly inconsistent.

    Your mod shield icon needs a transplant.

    +1 The right sided sidebar is a nuisance.

    That was not a case of overordering. How 'overordered' do you think HR 1 will be? And, that's a supply consideration only. What will matter is where the supply/demand equation settles out.

    True, but they will still sell like crazy since it is the first cover appearance of the Nihil Raiders. ASM 4, first Silk, 1:10 cover, anyone?
