  6. It definitely feels like it is on my end but I've been doing shows more than online. I just finished a three shows in three weeks loop and this last one was my worst show in over a year. Attendance was down 30-40% over the show in the same venue 10 weeks ago (granted that's two shows close together). I was at a different show that weekend in March so my stock was fresh to the people this weekend. Prior to 5/8, I had set personal records for dollar amount at every show since February. In April I did a show where I doubled my entire last HeroesCon total with just Saturday's sales. The market had been insane. Then on 5/8, I had a good show but 75% off my daily total was on one sale. Very few box diggers/pile builders and 95% wall sales. Last weekend, I did less than 5x my table cost which has been unheard of in the last year. Next to zero wall sales and very little box sales to supplement it. I couldn't keep big books on my wall over the last year, but last weekend I had slabbed Hulk 181, ASM 129, X-Men 12, XMen 129 9.4, ASM 361 9.8 and several other $1k+ books. Only a few tire kickers. It's DEFINITELY slowing down in person as the bonuses dry up, weather warming up/restrictions are lifted so people are going to travel. The big one to me is the unemployment bonuses going away. A LOT of people had more money than they knew what to do with and were moving heavy into the card/comic market. I think the bubble is going to pop soon and am looking to move a lot of big books because of it. I expect a flood of keys to hit ebay and a lot of items that were bought during the boom to be available at discounted prices in local Facebook Marketplace/OfferUp/Mercari/etc platforms.

  11. All forms of payment accepted. No returns unless damaged or misrepresented. No bad guys. One of my regulars brought this to me a few weeks ago. He's a big variant collector (especially Finch) but usually they're all signed (he also brought me a raw Ramos Spider-Man 4 but signed). Thankfully, this one wasn't and it was already slabbed. Five have sold this year (4 in the last month) for $800, $699, $650 (auction), $868, and $710 (auction on 5/2). Ultimatum 1 Finch 1:100 Variant CGC 9.8 - $775 Shipped
