Never ever trade . . . except for Benjamins.

I suppose, but I've never heard of anyone doing this to increase value or sales. We hear a lot about forged sigs, especially Kirby's (because anyone with a pen can do his . . . ) Provenance, by far, is the best adjudicator. For example, you buy a 4,000 book OO collection, and two or three of those books have signatures, the likelihood is that they are authentic. You buy a single signed book on e-Bay and . . .

No, not exactly. Many people collect books with date stamps = to their birthday.

Yes. No Q. No.

Plus these please.

1 Copy each of the Uncanny Annuals, please.

Stop making sense, making sense! (D. Byrne and his band of gypsies)

something is rotten in Denmark here. Wish I had a gazillion copies . . .

Hell yeah!

Well, Zippy is a sideshow character (as all good students of Griffy know!) The point has only been touched on above. Modern comics are re-selling for more than most BA and SA books have been. (Absurd!) Why is that? (because youth is wasted on the young.) (You won't get that either.) Any GA collector (regardless of age) knows who Mickey Rooney was. As do most SA and BA collectors. Zippy is the usher in the theater of the absurd. No one collects stamps anymore except Lawrence Block's Hitman. Disposable income . . . that's the marketplace!

Today's Zippy and how it relates to comic collecting. Discuss . . .

So tell me, what moderns are heating up???

Yes . . . . and . . . No.

I'm not a student of these numbers, so this is an honest question: From an accounting standpoint wouldn't there be a natural tendency (for any business) to inflate the "print" (production) numbers and deflate the "distribution" (income) numbers?
