Description:

Descender #1 Select Variants (2015) Comic Smorgasbord #1 (BotCon 1994 exclusive) Marvel's Voices Pride #1 1:100 Rainbow Variant CGC Recalled League Tables Rare Comics Many older comics are rare due to only few copies surviving through the years, which is partly due to lack of collectors back in the earlier periods (many comics were sadly read and discarded). However, numbers of collectors seemed to have increased through the 1970's and 1980's and this decreased the number of rarer issues during this time (and the Silver age before it). From the 70's there are still many popular and valuable issues such as the first full appearance of Wolverine in The Incredible Hulk #181 but this issue is not rare as there are many copies available. Condition is also a factor: many comic books were produced on poor quality paper with acidic inks (essentially newsprint) causing them to quickly degrade over time making any high grade copies rare. Fast forward to the Modern era and rarity is something that the comic industry has been manufacturing since the early 90's and more recently with numerous cover variants of varying degrees of rarity (1:25,1:100,1:300 etc). The introduction of CGC graded comics in 2000 also started a new collecting craze for sealed professionally graded comics and rarity can be seen within the grade banding: 9.8 is a must-have grade for a modern comic but the extreme rarity of mint comics (graded 9.9 and 10.0) means these can change hands for ludicrous sums. This takes us on to one of the more interesting areas where a particular comic book has a problem and has to be recalled. Depending on the timing of the recall this can severely limit the number of comics in the public domain, for example, the recall notice on Elseworlds 80-page giant only applied to the U.K. as the recall occurred before they were due to be distributed in the U.S. (they were shipped to the U.K. in advance). If there is any sort of publicity around the recall and/or the comic involves a popular character, this adds to the demand which will obviously outstrip supply for the rarer issues, leading to the prices skyrocketing. Anyway enjoy the website, hopefully it has some useful information for anyone wanting to collect or invest in rare comic books of the modern age. Notes: [1] ebay links are affiliate links and any payments received from ebay are put towards the cost of the website hosting and development. Before buying a Walking Dead #1 or TMNT #1, please click thru to ebay from the website links first but note that ebay affiliate linking is only valid for 24 hours or until you click another affiliate's link [2] Most publishers don't disclose actual print run data and they may not know the exact numbers in any case due to inaccuracies of the printing process leading to overage/underage (it has also been common practice to add 3-10% to the print run as cover against underage, spoilage and other damages). As well as distributed copies, there may be pre-press proofs (may differ from the main print run), spoilage (which can lead to some error variants or comics being pulped), file copies, complimentary copies and other stock that is not distributed at the time. Any disclosed distribution data should be treated with caution as this may not be totally accurate; note also limitations of the data: since around 2009, Diamond North America included most variants they distribute within its disclosed distribution data along with the standard copies as one figure; also the data excludes distribution of the same English language copies outside North America (so, for example, UK distribution via Diamond UK is excluded). Estimates on this site are just that and should be treated as a very rough guide only. [3] Prices are just a guide and may be out-of-date so best to check other guides and realized sales from both auction sites and comic shops as well for a more accurate measure of current value. [4] Information is as accurate as possible at the time of publication but there may be some mistakes; if you note any problems with the content of any pages please get in touch. Many thanks!
