Speculators Corner: Free Comic Book Day 2014

It is clearly a terrible thing that comics intended to be given away free are being snapped up and flipped on eBay by speculators in order to turn a quick buck from what was an outreach program to increase the amount of comic book readers for this struggling medium.

So now that we've got that over with.

Here are some reported sales on eBay in the last couple of days. More than any other year there is an instant after market for these comics. With many stores limiting the number of comics people can take, and Mouse Guard being allocated, collectors who really want them have to go through other channels – and are prepared to pay. The complete 60 set has sold for around $50, but individually they can cost a lot more.
