[blazingbob]

Market data is only as good as the source(s) it is coming from.

I don't have a problem with the prices per se, although I could quibble.  Example:

1993 DC Comics The Batman Adventures #12 1st Appearance of Harley Quinn 9.2 ($423.13 on 6/22/18)

This is actually a 6% drop from the 2017 price, rather than a 5.5% increase.  And yes, I know 2017 is an average.

 

My issue is with the list.  Do you see anything missing?  Example: Where's NYX #3? (currently selling for about $314 raw in 9.2 grade) Why is Peter Panzerfaust #1 even on the list? Etc., Etc. 

Then you could get into the whole raw/slab, grades above 9.2 thing.   What use is a list of 9.2 raws when most modern collectors are laser focused on 9.8 slabs?

The bottom line, does this REALLY represent The Top 20 Modern Age Comics?  Personally, I don't think it does.  What are your thoughts?

I agree with those points... it seemed like you might be saying the prices aren't a good match, but they are fairly decent prices for a 9.2 raw estimate.  Overstreet reports are due about 8 months before the book is released, so current prices wouldn't be reflected.

My concern would be the number of completely missing books.  Nyx #3 is a good example, but how many recent Marvel variants have been selling for $200+ in raw 9.2 condition for years?  Several.  How many are listed?  Basically none... the Venom #1 black isn't even a variant, it's an error... and if errors are included, Bloodshot #0 "Platinum" sells for $1,000+ in any condition.

And I completely agree with yours.

Damn...I was hoping for a good fight.

I think someone may have gotten him to try some artisanal cottage cheese from Norcal.

That stuff is dangerous.

Ummmmmm......no?

I was figuring we would just call each other names and stuff until somebody tells us to think of the children?

Maybe throw in a couple of threats to punch each other in the mouth if you're feeling up to it, granpappy.

Double tap with "chief" and "enjoy your day" might be too much. Just sayin'.
