  1. People can ask whatever price they want to. Until something starts selling for that it’s irrelevant.
  2. This one’s confusing as it says direct but has a newsstand barcode.
  3. In your estimation what do you think the percentages were? It was my understanding the numbers were from Jim Shooter. I’ve never thought they were accurate numbers. I’d imagine if you tripled those numbers it’d be more believable. I just wish we had accurate numbers.
  4. How’s that even possible? If they stopped newsstand distribution how in the hell do they sell stuff that’s not there? Also what’s your source for 5% of marvels sales were done at the newsstands after stores stopped carrying marvel comics? As well the comichron numbers are the only estimation we get so it’s the best we have. Same thing with the Newsstand percentages. Are they spot on? No but it’s an estimation from Marvels EIC. I imagine there not to far off considering newsstands were returnable.
  5. Netflix has a first look deal with all Boom books. I read the first volume and I hated it. Boring dragged out nonsense that has been done much better before.
  6. I can literally point out dozens of people on different forums that thought Punchline would go nowhere. That a few months after she first appeared it’d be worthless. Obviously we were wrong but it’s definitely part of the equation.
  7. It depends on how many days they state in the shipping info. Anytime after that is fair game. I’ve had some print out a label in time but then wait another week to actually mail. They get a message and it’s mentioned in the feedback left. Sometimes something unexpected happens so it really depends.
  8. You only hear the horror stories here which are the vast minority of eBay transactions. I’m not going to jinx myself by saying I’ve had no horror stories when it comes to people I’ve sold to.
  9. Unless your profits from the sale bought you several copies. Lol.
  10. I listed 6 copies after work and sold one for $60 within minutes.
  11. I’ve got a ton of the first 2 issues of deadly genesis bought real cheap.
  12. If he cared about the story he wouldn’t have such crappy endings. He’s vastly overrated.
  13. Yeah it’s not his second appearance either. He appears in all 3 issues before #4. So at best a 4th appearance. Still a great price in a 9.8.
  14. They very likely are going off comichron numbers using the % of newsstands produced that year. So if it was at 1% of 78,000 would be 780 newsstands. Which seems to be in the ballpark numbers for ASM. According to the guesstimate charts available online such as below.
  15. It’s been announced as having a live action series or film, hasn’t it? True the animated shows don’t move them like live action does.
  16. You realize you’re in a Comic book forum, right? Unsure why you’re posting about coins here.
  17. At some point DC will get their stuff together so I think nows the time for buying cheap and stashing away.
  18. Jesus Banes first appearance isn’t worth much after all this time what makes anyone think his daughter will be any different?
  19. There endgame isn’t selling books. It’s getting all of our attention and has a lot of people talking about it. They want to establish IP, make other media deals including film,tv, toys, etc. I don’t like all the hoops and silly rules but I can’t pass up huge profits.
  20. You’d be wrong. Look at the second part of the barcode. If it has 5 numbers it’s a Direct Edition. If it has 2 numbers it’s a newsstand. Marvel also stopped newsstand distribution after 2013. I believe DC was 2017.
  21. Ummm, there was a media option on The Maxx who first appears in Darker Image #1. They were selling regularly for those prices and higher grades and newsstands were fetching much more after the announcement which was sometime last year. So someone asking those prices isn’t crazy.
