In 1999? Lots more

average % of a run being newsstands in 99/2000 was 5%, there where 27,920 copies ordered, that would be around 1400 copies, but newsstands had only around 50% sale though. the unsold copies being returned for destruction

Where is all of this coming from?

order number is from comichron, the 5% for that year i got from an article, id have to try and find it. as for the 50% sale through that was pretty common info. honestly one could make an augment that a comic based on a kids show might have had a higher return rate. we will never have a solid number i just made an educated guess based on available information

Going by the BS “guesstimates” provided by that newsstand article. The reason those in the know are laughing or doubting you is those numbers are BS. Pulled out of somebodies butthole. Also Comichron  used to track sales not print runs. Any numbers they now provide are guesses as well. The available information is lacking.

The Young Avengers set I got ended up being pretty nice. VF/NM or better. Another interesting thing (to me at least), was they must’ve had a subscription through Marvel as most had these for backing boards. The opposite side has the persons mailing address so I didn’t include a pic of the opposite side.

Thats alot of subjectivity in that statement.

What year were you born? Because if you are seriously suggesting that DC comics printed only 1400 newsstand copies of the first issue of a Batman title that tied into a kids cartoon watched by several million viewers it would help to know if you were actually alive at the time. You could take an exit off any highway in the middle of nowhere go into a gas station and find a spinner rack of kids comics and Batman titles at the time. It is okay to just simply state newsstand titles became more and more uncommon as the years went by and leave it at that, we really don't need to be trying to nail down specific numbers for copies printed and sold, especially when they have absolutely no relation to reality.

In under 10 minutes. I have a friend looking for one; before I could call and ask if he’d like me to grab it, it was gone.

It evidently still has lots of room to grow. I had two 9.6s for sale for 960 each at the vcc… no interest… I imagine they would be popular at that price now.

All this guesstimation makes me want to ask again - where do people find reliable print run numbers? I can’t ever find anything for books when I research. 

I think Comichron is the only available source but only counts Diamond Sales. Which they guess a lot because the numbers aren’t published anymore or very rarely.
