Or oversaturation of the market in other ways.
I wouldn't even wipe my ass with an in-bag Death of Superman at this point. Cool, it's still got the shirt, lemme just go to a local fucking yard sale and pick up six more.
Don't get me wrong, it was a big event at the time, but the expectations that it was going to be worth any money was kinda a self-defeating prophecy, given just how widely spread the coverage was. It was on the national news.
