THIS WEEK’S RECORD-BREAKING SALES [Previous High In Brackets]

10.0 sold for $3,000 [$1,750 in 2023] +71%

SECOND PRINTING 9.0 sold for $40 [$34 in 2021] +18%

This week, 3 copies in 9.4 outsold the average

SECOND PRINTING 9.8 sold for $70 vs the average $63 (+11%)

To provide context as to why Last Ronin #1 is in the last spot on this week’s Key Collector Comics Hot 10, due to inventory of older, scarcer and much pricier Key Issues like X-Men #1, it is much more difficult for there to be a collection of data points during a one week timeframe for an issue like that to qualify

Key Issues like New Mutants #98 (1991) or Wolverine #1 (1982) rank higher based on a more consistent presence on the Hot 10 and weekly performance indicators due to prolonged excitement of the next MCU installment

📈 +233% increase in copies sold this week versus the previous week
