I went with the 796 variant that had his 1st app on the cover.

I like the copy, but I am staying away from printed ratio books now. Too many people involved now.

 

This particular book though isn't a publisher ratio it is a store(s) "exclusive".  

Agreed that there are very few variants that take people by surprise in this hyper speculative market though.  I can maybe think of two or three from the last couple yeas that kinda did.

Is it getting hot in here or is it just the social media comments?

I got the alert, looked at the cover and went back about my day. It may be selling for a premium at the moment, but that cover looks like trash. Coincidentally that is why I didn't buy it. I can't even understand how this is hot.

I agree I should have phrased it better. I prefer variants that are cheaper with a chance at appreciation.  The  market that produces limited exclusives just seems to be a train wreck waiting to happen and is ripe with possibility of corruption.

I actually like the cover.  I guess the throwback homage cover and the memory of buying ASM #238 made me gravitate to it.

Sure it's not very stylized but it is what it is.  Too each their own.

I was a fan of Del Otto but now his stuff to me is churned out quantity and not very appealing.

How much do you have invested in this variant?

[Davidone]

Marvel books with standard trade dress seem to have a 1000 issue minimum to order an exclusive. If it's a set of 3, there are lower print runs for the 3rd variant. That usually means 3000 standard, 1500 sketch and 500 virgin. 

I'm guessing this book was at least 1000 but probably more.

Basically he created an artificial scarcity and is trying to explain it.

My bad I forgot it was a private group.

hmm retailers playing fast and loose with store exclusive print numbers again.

time remains a flat circle.

[Second Blight]

All I read was "Blah blah blah....it's a 1,000+ print run and we are only selling 600. Keeping the rest for ourselves"

[rogue14]

Sounds normal to me but what do I know. Some books that come out on LCSD or FCBD or Halloween comic fest day or what have you sometimes also offer low print run for some popular issues.

Does this mean they are also ordering more than possibly destroying the remaining copies because of defects, to make the limited release or etc?

I hear of frequent small prints across the industry. Guess I just don’t truly understand the system for making comics.

So saying 600 print run is indeed false advertising. My next question is it 600 to sad lemon, 600 to frankies, etc???

[ADAMANTIUM]

So it is going to be 600 pristine 9.8 copies? kind of like what is the point....maybe?

Probably 3,000 total, split between 3 stores: 1,000 SL, 1,000 Frankies, 1,000 7ate9
