G.A.tor Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I reordered copies today so diamond still had stock. My pull list preorders were weak and so was my shelf order. I guess we will see tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nico Esq Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Is there an example of book with this much p re-release hype that sold out at the distributor level and then held on to a high price after it came out (at least $25) for five plus years? Chew hasn't't been out for five years but it sure has value. We are in a new age for comics because of the proliferation of tv & film adaptations. Any comparisons aren't fair. My 2 cents.

Chew was a surprise. It didn't have the pre-hype release of this book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolf_2099 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 (edited) I'd really like to know what % of the print run will end up in Calgary. 1 store in town is advertising a buy 1 get one free for Saga tomorrow, since they have a signing with Fiona Staples in April. Another is having a signing with Fiona Staples tomorrow for a couple hours, that normally gets a ton of Image #1's to begin with. Someone in the store told me 500 copies. This is a store that still has 6-10 copes of every issue of Cowboy Ninja Viking on the shelf. They over ordered by a ton since Riley Rossmo worked there.

I wish that was my shop. Riley is the man. One day all of you fools will recognize his brilliance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuff Ghost Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 (edited) Just about to read the issue but had a quick question for people looking for mint copies. All the ones i found had a nick on the bottom left. Anyone have any luck finding one without? Even the scanned ones on ebay seem to have it as well.

N/A Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I checked over 200 copies. All had the bindery tear at the bottom. Can't wait to read it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maloney414 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 All the copies in my shop had them too. Probably due to the normal cover stock on an oversized comic. CGC may forgive it when submitted if it's on all copies. If not, 9.8's may be rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
