And that includes The Stand, which is at least 3 books long, so I think I can bump my stats a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyhips Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 My limit was $3.99. Now that they are going above that price point I’m largely going to drop most pulls from dc and focus on image and other publishers. Digital is not an option for me. My guess is that other companies will rise and fill in the void if the big two implode. I know they don’t own the popular characters of the big two but I’d rather still be able to read and collect comics versus just reading a digital file.

drotto Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 I know my pull list has shrunk dramatically. For me Future State by DC was breaking point for me. I did not buy any other those books, and I did not miss them. Now that DC is back at a far reduced book count, I am down to just a few Bat family books. They are the only ones I care about anymore. I have also cut back on the Marvel side, and I can feel my interest going down. At my top, I was buying about 30 to 35 books per month. Now I am at 15 or so. I know that sounds like a lot still, and I could still afford what I was doing, but yet another increase in not going to get me back up. That much money for 20 pages of story and 10 to 15 minutes of entertainment is insulting. That is close to price for a streaming service for a month. I have been the devoted person that buys almost out of habit more than I read and want everything. If you are losing me you are in trouble.

If you found a NM book in there, you were lucky. Found a about 6 Avatar Goons one time in a dollar box. I only knew they had value from these boards. I asked the manager about 3 times if they belonged in the dollar boxes and each time he said "yes" I bought them all. Without a press, 3 graded at 9.8 and three at 9.6.
