Age and popularity of the subject matter dictate price, almost as much as popularity. A prewar example of a Little Orphan Annie decoder ring has all three since it’s between 75 and 85 years old, the character and the radio show are well regarded, and a lot of the rings would have gone to the scrap drives. Skeezix’s coin is from the 1990s from a product that was so unpopular that Skeezix had never even heard of it. He’s lucky to get five bucks. (But as they teach us on Pawn Stars, always try to get at least a little more.)
Man, I would way rather hang out with Sales Guy Whose Name I Don’t Remember than Skeezix. I actually laughed at that, and Skeezix is grumpy all the time.

How’s the market for original 1942 copies of “Nina and Skeezix: The Problem of the Lost Ring”?

The second “popularity” should be “rarity.” Skeezix’s coin may be relatively rare but it fails on the other two marks.
