I don't usually cross-post, but today I felt I just had to. Major addition to the collection, maybe the best book I'll find all year.
Well worth the double post

I'd love to hear how it looks in hand It's a fantastic book, the freshness is plain to see. It certainly is a high point for 2024, there's no questioning it, a stunning addition to the collection!

It's great to see this topic being discussed, and covered, but I do feel the writer of the article really missed the big points around subjects he pulled up.
The easiest of them is UF4. The has been a seismic phenomenon in the hobby in recent years, and one largely driven by younger collectors vs older 'traditional' collectors.
CGC census numbers are ballooning with new modern submissions in extraordinary numbers, and this has been happening for over a decade now.
There's no shortage of very strong factors pointing towards a large contingent of new collectors. The covid years were part of a significant recruitment drive as sports card prices drove collectors to look outside of that hobby. And comics have had the softest landing post the covid hyper price period.

One thing you have to consider about the age of collectors is that it takes a certain income level to be able to buy vintage books with discretionary income. Most people don't reach that income/stability until their mid-30s. So not seeing a bunch of teenagers running around buying $3000 comics isn't surprising.
The books the younger/less affluent buyers have been chasing are now turning into modern era keys. They drive this part of the market, and the characters coming through, who is going to be the next Wolverine etc. This generation, and social media has made 'hot' characters as a democratic process.

movies far more than the source material.
Movies are a gateway drug
In terms of American culture, and it's default impact on the global culture, comics are right up there with the biggest contributions in the modern landscape.
We have perennial characters heading towards 100 years of existence in Batman, and Superman, and now thanks to the movies Captain American has joined the list. The first two completely embedded in multiple generations psyche as cultural characters, known and enjoyed.
The big element are conventions. Going to any convention these days, they are predominantly filled with young people, interacting with comic related media in various forms. Will a 100% of them turn into devout comic collectors, most certainly not, but will some of them, absolutely.

I thought she'd had plastic surgery too.
She looks very different.
However this just reminds me why I avoid social media.
It was a filter. Say if you wanted the "South Korean" package of surgery, they could show you the resulting look ahead of time.

Looking at the census for these books, it looks like there was a good number of #4's stashed away back in the day. A lot of high-grade copies have surfaced, and prices have continued to rise steadily.
Issues #3, and 5 ave stayed low since the early days of CGC. There's some really hard to find books in this run. It's interesting to see whats come out of collections... or not, after 20 years of CGC data.
