Mercury Man Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 I grow tired of the 'movie' appearance pump. Oh, well Disney now has the rights, so now if there is a new X-Men movie, then the price will go up even more....uh...why? We've seen Wolverine in X-Men movies since what, the year 2000. That being said, something is worth what somebody else is willing to pay for it. delekkerste 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoMan Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 All of my money is tied up in travel at the moment. In about 6-9 months I'm gonna go on a buying spree and I need things to sell for a lot less than they are now. Any help you guys can give me would be super cool. That or I need to do a GoFundMe.

And when that didn't happen, Global Warming was all the rage. What Global Warming? It was another below average temperature winter here in Toronto.

It always hinges on 'being morally superior' by believing. "I care-you dont". Edited March 16, 2019 by kav ComicConnoisseur and grebal 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spideyham Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 What everyone is overlooking is that there are millions of new collectors out there introduced to comics thanks to all the superhero movies. That being said, the amount of Hulk 181s out there isn't enough to satisfy all the new collectors. Beige, pmWolf and ComicConnoisseur 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have any sources to back up that there are "millions of new collectors" due to the movies? I definitely would say there are millions of new superhero fans. But if Comichron numbers and what I see at my LCS is any indication, they aren't buying comics. Edited March 16, 2019 by SBRobin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many of these “millions new to collecting” people watch the latest Wolverine sequel/reboot/retool/ re-whatever and drop over 1 to 2 grand (or more) on a low grade Wolverine’s first appearance? How many drop 10 grand (or more) on a High grade? It’s wishful thinking. Edited March 16, 2019 by NoMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my 'how many comic collectors in the US' thread the best estimates-and there were valid logic behind them-were there are about one million collectors. I dont think the movies have doubled tripled or whatever the number of comic buyers. Marvel sales figs would reflect that. Mercury Man 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
