A nice combination of classic issues tied into media options, and new comic speculation. 2020 was tame at the beginning of the year, until Punchline hit and went wild. The market’s further went crazy when COVID hit and shops closed down. Back issues quickly went into high demand.

I don’t get it.
Is this strictly sales on eBay? I mean I’ve seen books with about a dozen sales make their runner up list whereas I’ve seen books sell more than that on Mercari and they clearly aren’t in the list.
It’s eBay and private auction like heritage. I don’t think there is a way to track Mercari sales. I know for some hot new books I sell them for more on Mercari than all the undercutting on eBay.
Need to look back and see how these “measure up” the the Batawang….
About 3… nah….. Wont make that joke
Good to see that all of the naysayers of Punchline were correct. She won’t last huh? Everyone will stop caring about her. Seems that she’s in the top 5 on both lists. Huh. I guess they were all WRONG! Both of her first appearances have great covers too which helps.
Thanks to comicsheatingup and other sources, I have all comics listed except for X-Men 4. All purchases at cover price too.
Nice. That is the way!
B B B b buuuut they’d be worth a lot more if not for CHU. Waaaahhhh!!! It’s not fair that you know about these books and have the ability to make some money off of them. I should be the only one privy to this knowledge! Waaaahhh!
(This sarcastic commentary on people who think that websites providing free information to comic buyers (so that they might have a chance to make a couple bucks) is bad for the comic industry because they themselves should be the only ones making all the money, is brought to you by TheCrackpot and probably reflects the views and opinions of this website)
(PS. Never mind the inexplicable fact that these same people who seem to hate this site and the fact it exists, constantly visit it, consume its free information, and then complain about it in the comments)
