Marvel/Disney can sell 2,000 copies of a GA/AA Masterworks over a year (maybe) and earn I'll throw out $20k. This represents 2,000 people out of 350,000,000 assuming every buyer is American which we know they aren't so the population total would be well north of 500,000,000 people. Or they can make Guardians of the Galaxy which has pulled in $752,000,000 globally, plus the video sales and merchandise and have millions of people talking about it. I'm pretty sure I know what I would focus on. What would you do as a business owner? Not trying to be a wet blanket here but think rationally about it. Reading comic books is a niche market, you cannot dispute this. Collecting Masterworks is a niche group within a niche group. Drilling down to GA/AA is a further niche within a niche within a niche. I'll agree with you all day long that preserving the books *could* provide Marvel some value but in the scheme of things, I don't see Disney thinking about a $20k item when they earned $12,000,000,000 their latest quarter. edit: What would make a difference potentially is if more than one person (crom) actually got off their butt and wrote a physical letter to Marvel expressing support for the GA/AA MMW to return. We spend hours upon hours postulating bizarre theories on this message board on how and why they should be printed as if Marvel will suddenly go "That is it! That is the magic post that has convinced me and found the piece I was missing in my business plan to make this work!" when instead we could be writing letters to them. I'll put my money where my mouth is and send a letter on Monday to Marvel.Who's next?
