On a Chon Buri hall Saturday, the queue folded twice around a pillar. Each fold created a new conversation that sounded like a fact. One cluster insisted a variant cover had already been pulled. Another cluster said the same cover was still on a rear table. Panel Trail Line walked to the rear table. The cover was there, unsleeved, under a paperweight.
That walk is the difference between a recap and a rumor mill. Marvel NFT comics community events produce both. We write the walk.
Queue chatter still belongs in the notes when it shows what the room believed at 18:10. We label it as chatter. We do not promote it as a stock alert or a scarcity clock. If someone quotes a public ticker time, we may store the timestamp in the notebook in the format they used. Storing a spoken time is record-keeping. It is not a trade.
The recap that night ended with a sentence the hall deserved: the rear table still had the cover at 18:27, and the pillar rumor was simply faster than the walking.
