Getting that Signature really didn't add any value.

Isn't it better without it?

Is there a trick to see Terapeak? Everytime I've tried for months now all I see is "It’s not you. It’s us. Our server is down, but we’ll have things back to normal soon. If you still need help, visit our help pages."

It seems like there are still hot books week in/week out, but now that the card bros are gone there is not as much chatter. I hope they come back soon as I liked selling into their spec bubbles.

No worries simply wait 25-30 more years

Agreed. Prices on all collectibles are heading back to the trajectory that they were on pre-Covid. This was the early 90s all over again. Next spike like this will be 2050ish.

That's fine. I'm locking everything up and returning to hyper sleep in the next five years. I'll give your regards to your grandchildren.

30 year old Modern. Movie hype limping along.

Agreed, current retail prices on weekly comics, variants too high in Canada with excrutiating US exchange rate plus tax. Young greggy remembers 1989 Batman movie hype:

Looking at the books on the wall, was Batman #426-429 the highest sticker priced items back then?

I haven't posted in a bit and see not much has been going on in this thread.  Here is one that is heating up, and the 2nd print was on FOC last week:

Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees #1

Ghost Rider (2022) issue 17 seems to be doing well:

- both the Stegman cvr and Barends variant

Are you guys seeing any long term spec with the Barends or is it probably a dump now while the fomo is going nuts with the book? It's a really cool cover, but no real big spec to it other than a tie into Hellverine.

Personally, I like this work but surely just the new flavour of the month?

[kimik]

Is GR 17 a Hellverine cameo? If yes, then it my have legs. I am surprised that the GR 16 Barends Infinity cover is not getting more love as it is a cool one as well.

Another show in the bucket. Attendance was down a little as I chose Veterans day in November. Next time all go before
or after it for a show. Down one dealer for Covid as well at last minute.

Alot more bigger ticket books for me sold. Couple of slabs cheaper ones, Several Spawn in 250s 260s, Sold all my
Alf issues like 15 issues to multiple buyers, several sales for Simpsons, Red Hulk 1, ASM 606 and had
multiple requests for ASM 601 as well and I had already sold it. Sold a copy of both Spectre 54 and 62. Alot of
War and Warlord requests I could not meet. Oddball requests for Howard the Duck and Squirrel Girl. Sold several
Lobo and Savage Dragon singles in the 100s/200s for Dragon. Sold a few
Hack Slash which surprised me. Dealer next to me got an ASM 36 newsstand in trade I was so jealous. 

Sold a few copies of Ruins 1 and 2, but not as sets  separately. Several Silk and Miles early appearances sold. I didn't sell
as many sets this time. Sold about 2 boxes of $1 books and another box of $5 books as well.  By FAR Dazzler and X-men 130 are
the hottest books in the market right now. I've sold about a dozen Dazzler 1s for $15-25 each and they barely last a few days. 
Had multiple requests for X-men 130 I have no doubt its the hottest back issue book right now. Any nice dazzler cover is an easy 
sale right now I think. Dont let anyone tell you Taylor Swift is not influencing our market right now. All my Dazzler 1 sales were to women over the last month.

Again the normal comic book market is just fine. Slabs and high end speculation are the problem in our hobby right now. Don't
let anyone tell you differently. We had less attendance this show, but dealers made the same amount of money basically. 

Whats not being asked about this time around? I got no Moon Knight, Man Thing or She Hulk requests this time. I had several last time.

Thanks for taking the time to write up your observations, @fastballspecial. Very informative.

Is that the DC Warlord character, or something else?

I think the random requests just shows that there are still people out there trying to complete runs of whatever it is that appeals to them.
