WWBN 32 has been running up along with all of the BA keys (Marvel and DC) since the late 90s. WWBN has been following the same pattern as any other SA or BA key - steady growth after the gap ups, and a spike when the movie/tv appearance is confirmed. As we have seen the past 10 - 15 years, being able to carry a book does not matter when TV/movies are involved. I am not going anywhere with it. Its just not a book I would invest in especially at this point. Its artificially appreciation in my opinion. I never go to shows and see buyers asking for it. All these fans all of sudden are showing up for this book. Where have they been for the last 15-20 years in hiding? You would know more then I would though as you do a lot more shows then I do in other parts of the country. I will go away now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiverbones Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 It is a weird key, and the only Bronze key I have never owned. For 15-20 years it has always seemed overpriced, but never let up Readcomix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just confused as to your rationale for your comment since you are on top of the market. While I agree it had really nothing going for it for a long time, WWBN 32 has always sold for me since I started doing shows in 1998 or so. I think the two 80s series helped raise enough of of a profile that the character has a stronger fan base than expected. I will say this - it has always been harder to find in HG for me than other BA Marvel keys since WWBN was a dead title when it came out and the blue cover is similar to purple in showing any bends/creases. The time to buy it was before the end of last year, though, just like every other BA key not named IH 181 (except for ASM 129 - that play has been a dog so far).

You can draw a straight line from the influx of speculators to the rise of this book. The character cant support a monthly or TPB sales. It will rise due to speculator influence from movies and follow the same path as Iron Fist maybe a little better. We need to start tracking books before and movie hype to see how much they fall. Don't get me wrong I am happy to see Moon Knight and any Marvel character get some attention, but don't tell me its from some huge fan support because its not. Swamp thing gets cancelled regularly and we still like HOS 92... My point is that it got dumb expensive a while ago, now it's just stupid expensive.

spreads Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 (edited) There are a lot more punisher fans out there than moon knight....I have no problem selling: trades, sets and runs, and keys/semi keys for Punisher. I don't know if this is localized to my area, but Punisher is a title I am happy to own.
