June 2nd week saw more newsstand sales compared to the past week. In total, 138 copies of newsstand comic books (published after 1998) were sold.

• 72% of these newsstand comics were sold below $10. That is lower than last week which saw 83% of sales occurring in this price range. In this category, many DC 52’s newsstands are selling well, regardless of having any significance or not. Non key Spider-Man books also sold well.

• 20% of newsstand comics sold between $11 to $30. In this category, we start to see newsstand comics with first appearances starting to command some premium over their regular editions.

• 4% of sales occur between $31 and $100. Specifically, 6 books sold in this price range.

• Finally, 2.8% or 4 books sold over $100 for June 2020 2nd week.

Beyond these numbers, there are some interesting buying patterns I am seeing after tracking over 1000 of these sales.

• Condition is not as important. I see sales of similar amounts for identical books with varying conditions. For newsstand comic books, it seem availability is more important than condition, i.e. any condition is better than having no books.

• Newsstand sellers usually make multiple sales in a week. When these sellers have copies of newsstand comics, they can sell these fairly quickly if the pricing is correct.

• Newsstand buyers buy more than 1 newsstand per seller. I see newsstand collectors buying many newsstand comics from one seller if they manage to have that inventory. It seems like collecting runs of newsstand comics is very much alive, rather than just focusing on the keys.

On to this week noticeable sales.
