On the topic of the CGC Census a few posts earlier, does anyone know what the kind of numbers are on Hip Flask or Elephantmen?? (don't have access to the census, as I don't have a pay account). Any help would be awesome.

 

Just curious, as I have only seen a CGC'd Elephantmen #18 on eBay.

The census is free, since you have an account here just use the same login.

 

I always have trouble selling elephantman stuff.

Sometimes great stuff just doesn't translate into big sales I guess...

The series is a masterpiece. Not sure how many here read it, but as a whole, it's incredible.

 

And investment wise, if/when the movie ever gets made, and if it's done right, this will be a HUGE sleeping giant (IS one?).

 

It's quite hard, as well, to find copies in good condition. Most I come across have some sort of ticks, bend, folds, etc.

 

Not trying to pump it up for my personal gain or anything, just my two cents.

And with the "lots of 10" for Day Men hitting the Bay, is it safe to say the bubble has bursted? My LCS owner chuckled, saying he's got 2 boxes of these still...does anyone know the actual print run? I think the Bay is getting flooded.

Then why doesn't this guy list them all for 75% of the average selling price?

Because he wants to make his customers happy?

Ask yourself this. Who is the market for lots of 10. Once you answer that then you have your answer why the book is still selling.

Don't get me wrong, I want it to do well, I'm just doubtful that it will "heat up" much more than this...with the inevitable flood of unsold inventory that's about to surface.

My LCS today said they are only putting two on the shelf at a time. They caught on early.

I went to a store on monday and bought 9 copies at cover. After I paid they got a rather large stack from the back and put it on the shelf for sale.

 

Arguably the largest comic book store in Toronto, which is one of the stores that usually sells out first when it comes to hot titles.

Flood? You make it sound like they printed alot. All my local shops sold out first week. No store I know ordered heavy except for Larry and he orders heavy on alot of books because he runs a large volume store.

 

 

Actually, a medium volume single storefront account.

 

12 k minus the variants is 8k regulars by my monkey math.

 

Reasonable in today's market.

 

I "still" think the pitch is better than the actual book. ( but we're one issue deep, lots of room to grow)

 

Fixers that work for Vampires.

 

Somethings up. I can feel the buzz. Selling WAY too good right now.

 

Cool stuff,

Stores are finally catching on. They know to survive they have to pay attention to hot titles and keep their customers happy. I like the 2 on the shelf limit interesting viewpoint.

 

Maybe Larry can come in and share his thoughts on how he handles hot titles.
