  1. Dear G.A.tor

     

    I know this is the GA forum but do you have a forecast for HG silver keys? Anecdotaly I have noticed prices softening. The Avengers 4 9.6 being an example.

     

    Thanks in advance

    Supply + demand= price.

    Since demand remains relatively stable for hg sa keys, the main variable becomes supply...that is not fixed. More and more hg copies either surface or are "created" so I see a continuing of price softening unless something leads to an increase in demand.

     

    True or False and why?:

     

    The world's population increases daily. Therefore, the population of comic collectors increases daily. Thus, demand for comics increases daily. The increased demand for comics > increase in the population of comics

    false... There is no correlation between an increase in population and increase in the percentage of that population that enjoys comics

     

    Wouldn't have to be an increase in percentage. Same percentage on an increased # = a bigger #

     

    Example:

     

    Pop: 5 billion

    % collecting comics: .01%

    # collecting Comics: 500,000

     

    Pop: 6 billion

    % collecting comics: .01%

    # collecting Comics: 600,000

     

     

    But how are you determining that the collecting percentage will be maintained at .01%?

    I think I missed these the first time around. Beautiful books. Are they from a pedigree collection?

     

    Top one is a Cosmic Aero. The other two aren't peds as far as I know.

     

    Wow, awesome books. I didn't know you were a Centaur guy. I've always been tempted to go there but I've got too many money pits to sidestep as is.

  3. bob, about trusting your knowledge of victorian era kinda stuff, what did you tell our former boardie those obidiah oldbooks you sold him were worth?

    I don't think you can lay the blame at Bob's feet for what that former boardie did. He was a one-man market drag as he overhyped his purchases so much. He didn't do a great job of defending his position, alienating many comic collectors in the process. And then he sold too soon after he acquired them. Had he bought an Action 1 and behaved the way he did, he might have taken a loss on that, too!

     

    Is this about the guy who did the "Superman vs. Obadiah" thread way back when?
