Convention exclusives and limited editions
The pieces you had to be in the right hall, on the right day, in the right queue to get. Convention exclusives and retailer limiteds live here, stickers intact and photographed close enough to read — because on an exclusive, the sticker is half the value.
Exclusive stickers are also the easiest thing in this hobby to fake, so listings in this category get photographed at an angle that shows the foil and the edge of the sticker, not a flat scan that could be anything. Anything sold as an exclusive has to show it.
Print runs on these are fixed and small by definition. When a convention piece sells out here it usually does not come back, so the auction room is often where the last copies end up.

Frequently asked questions
Which exclusives do you carry?
Whatever collectors list — typically San Diego and New York Comic Con pieces, plus retailer exclusives. Use the search or watch this collection; stock in this category turns over fast and unpredictably.
Can exclusive stickers be faked?
Yes, which is why we require angled photos that show foil and sticker edges rather than a flat crop, and why exclusives go through the same pre-publication review as everything else.
Are convention exclusives a good investment?
Fixed print runs and rising demand generally support price, but nothing in collectibles is guaranteed and hype cycles do reverse. Buy pieces you actually want to own.
