  1. Looking at GPA, Punch #12, all other grades are doing quite well. Very strong prices for recent sales. Someone snagged a bargain If it's a dealer, the book will be right back out on the market at full price.
  2. There's a reverse (inverse?) of this principle too, in which demand can influence scarcity, though it requires a more nuanced take on supply. There are books that (presumably) exist in great numbers raw, but don't get graded as often as books of similar age and therefore appear to be in "low supply" in the CGC census. Without bothering to back this up with data, I'll just say anecdotally that in my search to fill in late-Silver and early-Bronze 9.6 WP Marvel runs, the hardest title by far is Daredevil -- and I imagine it's not because these books are literally scarce, but more that there's much less interest in them and therefore fewer people bother to slab them and bring them to market. You have to keep in mind condition is also a factor of scarcity. There's plenty of examples of in demand books, with plenty of copies around, but no high grade examples available, or on the census. Also, what we see with CPV books, the high grades fill out first. The books are only worth money (for the bulk of them) is the rubber gets a 9.6 grade or better. So only the very copies are going through to CGC at this point. The time, effort, and money involved vs the potential return simply isn't there for a casual subbing of CPV books. So the census reflects guys active in the market, pulling out their best copies to be subbed and sold.
  3. Even the grade made no sense agains the price. The 35c variant is the obvious part. So the rest of the price is extreme scarcity, even by 35c variant standards.
  4. Just looking at the top 100 books in the Overstreet over the years. Things change, trying to predict what will rise, and what will fall is a complete guess from where we're sitting.
  5. I'm completely lost on this result. It's the second best result for a comic book on the last clink auction
  6. He should do a guest spot on series 4 of The Boys. Butcher could wear out his catch phrase, "oi you cheeky cant!".
  7. Two 75c books, for $1.49, Marvel really rolled out the VIP treatment for the Canadians
  8. You're worried about the stitching in the saddle, and not whether the horse is even alive and breathing. They've dropped the ball so badly on a number of projects now, there's no resemblance to the source material, and intern us the fan's, and the results are woeful.
  9. I was loading my Wolverine Limited Series onto the registry. There is over 49,000 of those 4 books subbed to date!! It's just a crazy number, absolutely bonkers.
  10. The Amish, they're still doing fine, aren't they? Covid prices are now the top mark for book prices. When the next price rise will arrive is very hard to say. But the genie is out of the bottle now in terms of what is possible.
  11. @Bosco685 the article linked in the tweet nails it quite well. https://www.ign.com/articles/we-want-to-save-this-job-inside-the-marvel-vfx-workers-fight-to-unionize "It definitely feels more like a conveyor belt nowadays than necessarily each project being given its own thought and time.
  12. What price, and grade ranges are you looking at? Things are definitely moving, but the spikes, and troughs are getting more difficult to predict at the moment. I suspect the real stabilised 'ease' will come in the next 12-36 months, assuming nothing changes externally from today. Spidey looks like the only safe bet
  13. I had an auction delayed by the IT troubles, it finished this morning with a fairly good result. Can't complain on that side of things.
  14. @wytshus are you able to chime in here. TIA
  15. I got that on some of the searches, but not all.
  16. I have to say it, Carol Kane continues to be the worst casting I've seen in a very long time. The flow, and tone of the shows is completely changed each time she opens her mouth. https://www.inverse.com/entertainment/star-trek-strange-new-worlds-carol-kane-interview “Okay, so I didn’t audition,” Carol Kane tells Inverse. “I was called. And I was shocked. I was stunned. Never in my life did I imagine myself on Star Trek.” ...that makes two of us Carol. Reading through the article, I get the feeling this another one of those things where they trolling the fan's
  17. Did anyone else get Clink want-list notification emails today, I did. Something is working over there.
  18. Thats not ideal at all. You have to choose over a pedigree, or a newsstand notation. For registry sets, the slot on the set can be removed? A separate Newsstand inclusive, or exclusively neewsstand set would be more attractive than having the registry randomly adding newsstand slots for sets.
