eBay’s quantity of comic listings continues to climb to new heights!<\/p>\n

Atomic Avenue<\/a><\/b>‘s number of available unique issues continues to reach new heights.<\/p>\n

Comic Collector Live<\/a><\/b> is treading water – no major gains.<\/p>\n

Amazon<\/a><\/b>‘s collectibles marketplace is not reporting accurately still. They show 50,000 listings in the marketplace – I have over 100,000 listings so I know their reported numbers are inaccurate.<\/p>\n

HipComic<\/a><\/b>‘s marketplace is showing over 100% gains in listings in the past year.<\/p>\n

Bonanza<\/a><\/b>‘s number of listings has leveled out from last month but still shows strong annual gains.<\/p>\n
