BA773 Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 (edited) On mycomicshop i can see the cgc census, but i want to know if i can find a database of sales or print? The one who help me win an Oreo! Edited December 4, 2023 by BA773 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzetta Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Second question. This one was drowned out in the locked thread. Is there anyone that knows the volume of Diamond accounts? While the print runs are valuable and information I am curious about I would like to know how many accounts or stores there are that handle those books. Are there more or fewer shops that handle new books opening and / closing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Only thing I know of is Brian Hobbs publishes the number of Bookscan accounts each year, which is slightly larger than you're looking for, and would only include America. Even Diamond estimates used to only include America and, umm, the UK i think, so were missing a fair few stores in the rest of the world. I'm not aware of any source that captures it all. Not saying the info isn't out there though. BA773 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormflora Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 I like using PriceCharting.com for eBay sales tracking. Can give you an idea for the price range of sold raw/graded comics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wardevil0 Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 No one releases current sales data anymore. Comichron is the best source for historic info, but with direct distribution the way it is (Lunar, Penguin Random House, Diamond) there's almost no way to tell unless the publisher tells you.

I use it too, is good to see the price range however some time the filter make some mistake like some tpb or lot who are interfering in the price range for a single issue because the ebay listing wasnt have a good description... The best for me is directly to use the function of eBay to see the sold item Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bc Posted December 5, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 5, 2023 Think we need to promote new posters to get new blood. We have a new boardie who is learning the ropes and we want to stifle it? They have been responsive to advice. I can appreciate if we were enforcing the rules on PGM or Sales threads, but how can we increase new contributors (while letting the community guide them which this boardie had been doing)? -bc Buzzetta, Cat, universal soldier and 4 others 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather read BA's enthusiastic hype and questions about what he's looking to buy than Roy's constant combative, argumentative and just plain rude thread derailing, which is now for some strange reason allowed.

I know because one of them texted me to let me know about it. I don't see how allowing unusual behavior is beneficial for a tight community. In the past Arch would have merged the 4 threads into one, but this seems to be the new way everywhere to bend rules for new blood, so I guess whatever. Not my forum or my rules.

That sounds like you're harassing a new member needlessly. He may be having language problems, we don't know the full story, nor should we unless it fits into the categories we monitor. Otherwise, it's just idle gossip. It's also not 'unusual behaviour.' it's an enthusiastic new member with many questions, excited to have the help of members with more knowledge than him, and wanting to utilise that knowledge to the fullest. There's no harm in it for now. We should be aiding and nurturing him, not slapping down the handcuffs. bc, sd2416, Sigur Ros and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First im here since more than 9 month, next can you be more explicit with your first sentence its hard to me to understand it well because of the language, english is not easy for me, i think you spoked about the thread in: you want to buy? Lol. I do nothing wrong on this place, by the unspecific charachter of my post i logically received a lot of answer and i cannot give a positive answer to everyone... Apart from that, i will calm down on the quantity of my post no problem, using my time to read comics will be probably much more useful than spend it here... All my excuses guys. Bye.
