On the new comictom101 video 2 new preview books made the top 10, first it was Miles Morales. Now its these two books  Are preview appearances really becoming a big thing for collectors? |

| what happens is the app creates it as a key which causes people to buy, then 1 week later tom talks about an increase in sales over that week period... all created by the app.. its fake news and market manipulation... to answer your question, yes its a thing, but not a good one | ||

| I’ve never cared for Previews first appearances or first printed image or whatever you want to call it. I’m interested in the first comic book appearance, but that’s me. | ||

| Others can buy it; I certainly won't. Unless I come across one for a few bucks - in which case I will sell it to someone. Snake oil to me |

| I'm sure to some people, previews are a thing. I don't buy them, and I don't know if I even have any anymore that weren't built into an already published comic and not a Wizard or some preview mag. I like how everything can be a key now as long as some talking head hypes it up. | ||

| Comictom and keycollector are a joke don’t listen to them. Previews shouldn’t be considered first appearance since it’s not in a comic book. @thesickness is right they are con artists. |

| This is one of the treads I definitely do not like. Not digging the 2nd/3rd print popularity either but the market dictates what they want to spend their money on. | ||

| Previews are exactly that and nothing more. The book is what counts. | ||

| Previews I can see being something to Completists..they'd probably be into it....most collectors, probably not so much. | ||

 Keep your $6.87 bro... not even saving tax with that.

| It's pretty silly honestly to pay that much for a catalog. | ||

| I sure hope not. Just what we need is one more thing to complicate first appearances. And from what is essentially a catalogue? Mark me down as a hard pass. |

| There are some who feel the Hulk 181 ads are 1st appearances, even though they came out after Hulk 180 LOL They actually place them above Hulk 180! I'm guessing because they can't afford either one, But it's a crazy hobby. Money talks before truth, i.e. Capes #1 is not the 1st appearance of Rick Grimes, but ASM #365 is the 1st appearance of Spider-Man 2099(???). Both companies say so. Maybe some day they'll start labeling ads as 1st appearances too, if the money is right. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Siggy See, you touch on something that I think is important. A first appearance should be just that. If Super Ninja Monkey Pirate first appears in a preview, then that should be his first appearance, and it should be true across the board. The problem has always been the way the market perceives, I think. And, I get it. I would hate to shell out a couple grand for Hulk 181 to only see it drop because 180 is the “true” first appearance. It’s just a mess... |

 To answer your question, no, this is not where the comics go to die.

I hope it is and it keeps on going. I have tons of old Previews in my storage from when I had my account with Diamond. Who knows what first appearances can be discovered. I sold the Previews 1st Spawn copies I had stuffed in a box for years for $$$ recently  |

Quote:Originally Posted by Jabberwookie Where do you draw the line? Preview is not a comic book, it's a catalogue. Harley Quinn's first appearance was an animated TV show. What if a characters first appearance was in a colouring book or an article in TV Guide? I agree that there should be a standardized definition but even that wouldn't change how the market perceive books like Hulk 180 vs. 181. But for me, I draw the line that a characters 1st appearance should at the very least be an appearance in a comic book. |

| @GAC Fair point. And it does make me wonder about digital comics and first appearances. I wonder what that’ll look like? |

| i think key collector is a great app for collectors but honestly wish the guy Nick who runs and founded the app remove the prices. everything else is great about it. and 1st appearances are when characters debut in a STORY not a CATALOG. |
