Why is issue 14 getting so many covers?

Hello,

This is my first post here, but I'm a long time reader.

I received this beauty some days ago.

Anyone get in on that sweet VIP action for SDCC? A little rich for my blood

Looking to add the Amazing Spiderman 18 to the collection.

Tough book in 9.8. A lot I have seen have ink transfer from the black back on the front.

Yes I know. There are few in the bay, very expensive.

I'm really considering get it in 9.6.

Is anyone else getting flooded with JSC emails?  Since the beginning of July, I've received 11 emails.  He's put out more emails than covers (and that's saying something).

Just received two back to back.

$800?

I've been ragging on JSC, but I'm a sucker for glow in the dark.

It's a gorgeous cover but $800 is insane!!!

This is one of those cases where people need to speak with their wallet.  I feel like whoever manages J Scott Campbell's product page is way off base on pricing.  I get that it's a 1:500 cover, but at its core, it's just a virgin variant of the regular cover.  With the large number of covers he's done recently of Felicia, the market/demand for J Scott Campbell/Black Car artwork can't be what it would have been 2 years ago.  Maybe if the 1:500 was an original piece and not a copy of the regular cover, I could understand, but you've gotta be crazy to spend an extra $680 just to avoid the trade dress.

This is one I'll definitely be picking up for myself. And any extras I can get my hands on next week.

Does anyone know which store or convention is doing this Black Cat 2 variant? It's a Superior Spider-Man re-color.  I see it being sold on comicxposure (but I don't think it's their exclusive) and eBay for a pretty high asking price...

It's not only that, I would compare the market value of a raw. It's selling around $225.

Even lower now - there are quite a few BIN's on eBay for $200. Plus an auction ended for just $92 the other day. 

It gets to $20 and I may even pick one up.

I just went through the sold. I was expecting sub $200. The $92 would probably not be a 9.8.

Listing said it had some "shipping ink rub", so yeah probably not a 9.8. But still, earliest sales were as high as $450, so the trend is great if you want to buy one at a decent price in the future. 😊

Very few of these real high ratios have maintained anything close to ratio value. Yet there are always people that pay ratio when they come out.
