Awsome job again DBS! Is there any chance you could share the top 10 “90 day sales numbers” for each book? It would be interesting to see how the “top 10 sales numbers” increase or decrease each month with time as well. Just a thought.

Thanks for posting this. I always enjoy it.

I think my eyes are getting old. I actually thought that it read;
"20 covers" for the comic.
Did it have a feature where you could change the cover to a different one?
Or order the cover you wanted?
Or maybe the price goes up with each cover "level"?
All the $1 comics have cover"A", the $1.50 have cover "B", etc...
Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try.

I think he’s speaking of Rai#1 Gold, but beyond that I’m not sure either.

Thanks DBS. These are really low numbers. Just a sale of one variant book could totally tip the scales. It will be interesting to see which books start rising to the top. Also, if things start heating up and the number of books changing hands starts happening more quickly. If so, “sales numbers” to get into the top ten could start significantly increasing.

With sales this low I wouldn’t be surprised to see 5 different books on this list in 90 days.

They are low; however, some prices are still solid. If you look at the list, honestly there are no books that completely shock us. Remember, sales numbers and pricing are relative to the size of the current collector base. This expands and contracts over time.
