The wider audience is drifting away by some counts and the 'fan-boy' interest is following the rule of 25 and melting away like the over-done re-boots at Marvel. The comic books themselves have been losing interest for years. It is like boxing, you make your product too high end with Pay-per-view and endless variant covers and you gain in the short term with deep pocketed fans paying out, but you kill the wider audience.

Moonknight certainly is a different angle on things. It looks like a lot of fun. divad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody decided to flip it and actually managed to get a couple hundred bucks even after ComicLink takes its cut. I'll just say it's a book I'm actively hunting, and I stayed away both times. At those prices, the miswrap is a real problem. That doesn't look right... Larryw7 and Sweet Lou 14 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basics of the rule is everything gets hot again after 25 years since the kids 25 years ago are making peak dollars and want to bring back or collect things from their childhood. It's a rough rule but it does seem to hold up pretty well especially in terms of collectibles. jimjum12, Microchip, Larryw7 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if some SCS might be at play as well. It'd be interesting to see closer if there is damage at the staples post-slabbing, or as you say a bad press pre-slabbing.
