There are some of my favorites in that Conan lot, esp #27.

And the reason I know this is that I had a copy and pent-up interest in just my existing customer base was off the charts.

I could've sold five copies of GIC 87 this summer just to locals in San Jose, which is only like 1/3 of the Bay Area.

The penultimate issue, wit the torture creature, freaked me out as a kid. As did Kirby's Captain America 206.

Always great dealing with you, Mick! Great work on the latest OPG war report too.

That really surprises me about Great Gatsby considering Fitzgerald was a well-established author at the time he published that. Didn't think people would be throwing it away, especially since it became very popular only 20 years later.

Yep, SSWS is thick with frogmen covers. The GIC one is one my my faves though. Frogmen covers continued a bit into the bronze age too!

Seen it before as well...

There was the big 2017 dip as referenced in this thread but this year is flat in dollars to last year and down about 5% in units. https://www.comichron.com/ That's the overall trend for years also--dollar volume flat, with declining units. My quick take on the movies was that they brought all the lapsed collectors who quit in the 90s back into the hobby. And there were a ton of them out there. But that's kind of a one-time generational thing. OTOH, people are living longer and the rich get richer, so I can see even declining numbers of collectors keeping things going (if not setting records). As for the low end, I feel that the internet really helps because people can more easily learn about collecting and what's out there and it's such an inexpensive hobby on the low end. You can get plenty to read and plenty of books for $100 a month.
