Key Collector Releases NEW FEATURE "The Down Report" - Top 10 Comics Going To Zero!

[@sassysteveartist]

I'm here for Zero Town! As a collector who buys books to read and treasure, I could give a damn about what 'the market' says they're worth. They're worth a place in my collection is what they're worth!

[@SonOfCrom-1932]

Please do this report each month! Loved it!

[@tonymiles273]

At what point will comics stop dropping in price? My pc is losing value faster than Diddy stock. Oh well, I still love my comics, anyway.

[@Jerry11011]

ebbs and flow will always happen which is healthy. I wouldn't worry too much about a falling sword at this time as I think the economy starts pulling upwards very soon.

[@thousandaireradio3199]

I like to buy the ebbs 😁

[@brute_nm]

It will be interesting to see how many "cold" books end up on the "hot" list from the attention

[@lukemccann2024]

Definitely first Sabertooth, that books just took a dip

[@Lexy-O]

It’s also the general economy: inflation has people spending less

[@zombieprophet648]

I like this new feature. Lets me know what I can get for a good price

[@DavidS-b8f]

Yep I noticed that on the app too good video

[@AdamHoutman-qj7fy]

I would buy everything on the list. Except for Nova 1. All classics.

[@marcusmolyneux6422]

This was pretty easy to see even during covid that comic prices would drop haha. Extra money in the pockets = inflated market for comics, less money in pockets = market corrects itself to normal levels, in combination with Disney/Marvel just not releasing as much movies and shows as they were 2 years ago this also decreases spec with not as much material to base that spec off from. Safest comics to invest in right now are silver/early bronze x-men imo since that is what marvel/disney is slowly introducing in combination with prices still dropping.

[@mightycomicsandcollectibles]

Believe it or not I was working on this video too 😢😂

[@Swagglehaus]

Dew It!

[@natl9953]

Time to buy another copy of UXM 129!

[@Jerry11011]

This report is long overdue, but I think overall shouldn't be a deterent in any fashion. It's a just a "snapshot" in time. If a solid book is listed, I'd obviously "buy the dip" such as this instance in GSX1. Go for it!

[@dakoitcave817]

I love the first 2 Ant-Man movies and would say among the best- then Quantumania destroyed any respect for that character. Wasn't Paul Rudd's fault, he portrayed the character so well.

[@T-RexSuplex1]

Hot take Black Adam was actually good 😅

[@petew1]

I overpaid for my GSX #1 9.0 by a couple thousand given this market downturn but I am happy with my copy and intend to hold for a while.

[@terryhrach9450]

Same I paid 6000 for a 9.2 GSX

[@lukemccann2024]

Yikes

[@terryhrach9450]

@@lukemccann2024 🤦🏻‍♂️😞

[@Jmillz181]

What was hot will be hot again. Hold that beauty.

[@xenaluck]

avoid whatever books the goose has in his backpack.

[@monkeyideas]

Good to see the down report. Always seeing books go up but rarely when books go down.

[@sidneyrivera3578]

Any mention of books on Key Collector drives interest in the issue. It will be interesting to see how sales do with the new information.

[@dandelatorre1870]

As you point out most of these are comics that are on my back burner list, I’ll buy them if I find the right deal but there are many more books I’d rather have first.

[@mycomicplanet7327]

Hey Swag, why will this next comic index report be your last? I’ve loved watching those videos. Is it because the market continues to fall? Will miss those videos but I respect your decision. Not gonna lie, as someone who has a large collection this announcement scares me.

[@tibofinds3726]

I use myc’s fixed price option. Definitely deals in the weekly auctions. It isn’t surprising that prices continue to come down as speculators continue to liquidate. Pokémon is experiencing a big market boost though.

[@grios5530]

I took key collector offmy phon years ago. It was dictating what i was buying. Im much happier.

[@StrawHatVladEK]

That’s how he pumps and dumps. No different than comic Tom

[@Jcarroz]

What goes up must come down they say. I think 2025 will continue to see values fall. There needs to be a run on good comic movies and TV shows and people need to feel stable with their $$ to get people back into collecting.

[@Chris-ty7fw]

I hope GSX #1 keeps dropping I want to buy #1. Those Captain Britain books were a good read .. Chris Claremont I believe, the art was good too. I think I'd buy most of those books if their cheap.

[@michaelstarr1285]

Comics are a losers game. Read them enjoy them thinking that it is an investment a waste of time.

[@Klung1]

Seems like a natural evolution of features

[@ObsessedCollector]

If you're happy with the book, dosent matter what you paid :)

[@williambaldridge1203]

Shazam has a lot of potential but no one seems to know what the potential is, or what they need to do to realize that potential. The character concept is really good, except for one thing, and that one thing is the thing that really hurts him. In the 1940s all the big characters had to have a sidekick, and in the case of Captain Marvel, he was his own sidekick. If they ever want Shazam to really make it. To make it big, in the movies, or to really make it big in the comic books, Billy Batson has to grow up. The juvenile Shazam, nowadays is just stupid. Yeah I'm sure there's a few people out there that prefer to see him always act like a kid, but they probably buy Jughead, and Archie all the time too. I would make it so that Billy Batson has grown up, and no longer has to even say the word Shazam, because once he becomes an adult he can just stay Captain Marvel all the time. He can still say Shazam and switch to a secret identity if you would like, but the idea is, he's got to become an adult, and act like an adult. then he can join the ranks of people like Superman and Batman. Remember he has the wisdom of Solomon. He would be on the intellectual level of say Batman, or someone like that, but the potential of Shazam is really great. However the potential of an overgrown kid Shazam is never going to be more than what it is now. This isn't the 1940s anymore. I for one have always wanted to see an adult type Shazam, or Captain Marvel, whichever you want to call him. I kind of like the name. Another thing that would help would be if the writers would fix his cape. the cape that hangs on to one shoulder just don't work. Either get rid of the cape altogether, or make it a real cape. I think a real Cape would be the best way to go. I can see it with a big lightning bolt on it. He would be a great character. It's why Black Adam was a better character than Shazam, he's an adult.

[@DaveTHouse]

GSX 1 is also the first appearance of Krokoa and I really think they need to add that to the label also. :D

[@KeyCollectorComics]

It says that in the description along with the first use of the sound effect “snikt”

[@DaveTHouse]

@@KeyCollectorComicsGreat it does have significance :D

[@ccsportsfan7886]

EXCELLENT

[@CryptoHBK]

They should have named it the “bargain” or “discount” report.

[@50TBRD]

People bought those X-men keys thinking they were coming soon in the MCU but MCU releases have slowed and X-men coming has been a bit of a movie goal post after finding out about the Fox contracts lasting until 2025 anyway.

[@Whalewraith]

If Thunderbolts and Captain America 4 lose money there's the possibility they won't even get to the X-men.

[@50TBRD]

They’ll do X-men no matter what but eventually they might have to embrace the idea of some kind of reboot of the MCU or just acting like the X-men are in their own world and connecting them later which is probably what they should have done after Endgame.

[@berardoferrari]

@@Whalewraith depends if disney is still hell bent on DEI ideolgy!!!!LOL!!!!!!

[@cjdesign5700]

Swags head in hand...oh noes

[@seminolewind158]

Most of the books are crap, and I include Sabretooth. First app of a second tier villain. If I’d guess what has potential to rise, it’d be the Conan books and Britain.

[@DocReasonable]

Is there an app for going to the bathroom yet?

[@xellosmetallium8519]

Comic prices are going to continue to drop, I don't see any turn around yet.

[@darthjarwood7943]

lol if you follow key collector weekly long enough you will have more non keys than keys...just another manipulation

[@KeyCollectorComics]

Nice job Mickey. Thank you for covering the category!

[@lukemccann2024]

I paid $200 for my 9.6 nova 😂

[@Jmillz181]

Too much doom and gloom. Ebbs and flows. The big keys will go back up.

[@KeyCollectorComics]

Not doom. Just facts. And if you read the whole thing you’ll see many bulletpoints that discuss how good almost all of the books are doing compared to 5 years ago which is the overall indicator of a healthy hobby. The full analysis casts a wider net than Mickey was able to address in the timeframe he had.

[@StrawHatVladEK]

All doom pal. Market is dead no one new in the hobby. Just ppl selling from their pc taking big losses to make ends meet. But yea pump your shit

[@seanmitchell8151]

Why are Key collector prices always way lower than market prices?

[@KeyCollectorComics]

The values listed for low mid high are ungraded prices. They are conservative and priced using actual sales data offered by eBay’s Terapeak. The bottom line with comic pricing is no one agrees on a set value. You say low. Others say high. Look at it as price guidance instead of a rigid price guide.

[@seanmitchell8151]

@ Yes, respectfully I say low. Low, low low low lowww. I shop around and look for the best price and usually pay twice what Key Collector says, at least. Would love to hear from someone who says “high”. I’m a regular collector and this is my real world experience, be wary of the optics, you being a company man.

[@rabbitquesada5837]

Collectibles alway take a hit in a bad market . Suck but it is what it is . I’m buying up as much as I can while you can pick up some great books for dirt cheap

[@andrewoka4862]

still no collector demand, everybody walking in with a bunch of crap wanting keys for trade---current market. Very few current collectibles have substance, period.

[@moodswing4460]

4/5 :(

[@AdamHoutman-qj7fy]

Also, never buy graded books! That is a failing market.

[@Jmillz181]

They are worth more slabbed than not. Just about entire market is falling not just slabs.

[@lerak8452]

Old comics are losing their luster. Lots of money being made and not many people are into those characters or books. The TCG market is on fire. Crypto gains have been huge this month. Stock market has been great. Maybe next month will be better. Just me observing people. Seems like people want fresh characters and just different. Lower price points to enter. Money is moving out of comics and going into other collectables.
