| I think it can be easy to get fooled from September to January. I wouldn't give up on much of anything until Star Wars hits the theaters and we start to see trailers for the upcoming movies. I think Enthusiasm peaked in the summer and we're in a lull right now. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by KatKomicsI am perpetually amazed how cyclical some things are...Deborah coined her look early on in her "Blondie" persona days, perhaps even as far back as the late seventies, and yet a few years ago at Halloween, half the girls out there went out dressed up like she did back then not even aware of who created the look first |

| Things will continue to perpetuate in an endless loop. It seems like all the original thoughts and ideas are all used up and all we have left are remakes whether it be music, films, etc... it's all a rehash. | ||

| I'm not a religious person, but if I understand that verse correctly, we have committed sin, we will continue to sin, and nothing will ever change. Therefore: I should thank God he / it has eternal forgiveness because my heathen self will always be incorrigible and corrupt with no chance of true redemption because my evil will rise daily as sure as the sun rises. @DrWatson Yes. I'm kidding. |

| If you're big into Jungian psychology, then you probably know that there are really only a handful of stories that we tell and retell, while updating for our current times. As far as comic collecting, you can always just liked 25-30 years in the past and adjust accordingly. Plus newer generations "discover" things they never knew about before and cause booms in popularity. It happened with the Stooges, Marx brothers and comics. It's fun to watch. |

| @Jabberwookie I'm not so sure it's fun to watch things repeat themselves. It's like watching the same film over and again. Even if it's your favorite film, when you can recite the lines it gets kinda old. Watching people react to the things of yesteryear brought new again through the most recent cycle, I suppose that could be mildly interesting. But again, once your old enough people watching gets predictable as well. As for jungian archetypes, you know it's bad when there are a set number of character types that explain the repetition of ideas and stories in pretty much all literature. As mentioned before, nothing is fresh and undefined. Yes, I am the eternal pessimist... |

| The Good Morty book. I just looked up eBay's sales on the book. It averages 30.00 to 50.00. Man, that little book took a tumble. Reminds me of Ren and Stimpy and the fall that book took. | ||

| I still don't get why anybody would "invest" multiple hundreds of dollars on risky, new, "hot", comics, when they can buy mid-sixties Marvels for the same price. (Like those I'm struggling to sell). At least those have an established value. | ||

| @Donnied Bigger gain with bigger risk. Silvers and such are more slow and steady. Granted, gambling sometimes is just a gut thing with no logic involved. |

EbayMafia private msg quote post Address this user | |
| It seems to me that there is a very different life-cycle for characters that start in comics and then move to other mediums vs those that start in other mediums and move to comic books (adaptations). At least in modern times. Star Wars, Morty, Simpsons, Transformers, etc...The comic adaptations don't seem to hold their value that well on their own. Seems that long-term comic values are not reliable for these properties (with rare exceptions like Star Wars 1). Maybe someone can come up with some examples where this is not the case? Other than the recalled Alf book, I'm not thinking of anything after the Silver Age. | ||
