I can see it now...Bob G. hires a Price Monitoring Task Force to watch ebay auctions, scour the internet, number crunch each Overstreet and Wizard Price Guide and cold call comics shops across the country to discern what's in their comic bins and for how much. All this activity results in a mathematical formula that, when input into the Archivo-Mat Flux Capacitor, signals an alarm when it is "OK" to move on reprinting New Teen Titans Vol. 3.

"It's a go, Bob! It's a go! All systems go! Tipping point has been established and NTT Vol. 3 is over the $50 mark! Woo hoo!!!!!"

Tears stream down the faces of Archives control as it is finally established that, yes...New Teen Titans Vol. 3 is worthy of Archiving....

Sorry if that sounded a little sassy....but I just want to try and counter the notion that it's silly to Archive worthy material that some claim can be found cheaply.
