I started selling comics full-time in 2010 and wanted to track my progress against the online back issue markets. Here’s a look at the current comics aftermarket and my progress in achieving my goal of becoming a prominent back issue dealer.

eBay‘s number of listings has hit an all-new high!

Atomic Avenue: The number of unique available issues on this platform has surpassed a quarter million.

Comic Collector Live: The number of stores has dropped by over 45% in the past five years.

HipComic‘s number of listings have had strong growth in the past year. We’re still struggling with their sync problems so we’re short about 20,000 listings this month.
