There have always been "run" builders and likely always will. That said, demand in some venues is down. But across the board, prices still seem stable or even stronger in some titles , while others do seem to have softened and continue to soften
Bronze keys are "hot" now and still have plenty of movie/tv speculative growth , but will cool at some point too I suspect
I agree; I just don't have a good feel for the time-frame. I have limited interest in Bronze, but I would like to build a run of the Neal Adams Bat & Tec covers (for reasons of nostalgia, mainly—I collected those as a kid but unloaded the ones I had decades ago).
good news is the Adams books are not so reliant on any movie or speculative news...just on "cool" factor
