My understanding they are both limited to 1 per customer. So much that you cannot get a 1st print and a not 1st print from the same shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And won’t this create a shortage since most stores don’t get them? Isn’t that what they’re trying to avoid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was able to get a “not first print” set aside for me for my next trip to the store, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None. Plenty of other books to speculate and or read. No hoops on eBay 😂 If I want a copy I can get it much cheaper then ebay. The point is their strategy isn't going to appeal to readers its only going to appeal to speculators unless they get their volume up. Which I am sure they are working on.

Honestly the strategy is not appealing to anyone unless they have an untapped mine of 1st prints that is hidden from Bad Idea's ever watchful eye. Having a city, like Austin, that has zero shops that are getting Bad Idea books is a telling sign. But then cities, like Dallas, have like 6 shops. You would think that they would want to spread that out some not clump it together in such a manner. It does not seem sustainable. Hopefully they can fix the print run issue and not short their backbone of stores by 51% on every issue. Otherwise they are doomed for failure. P.S. my ebay comment was a joke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.S. my ebay comment was a joke In an interview Dinesh said that to be a Bad IDea destination store the store just had to agree to their terms, so it could be that no store in that area did.

They're going to continue to print these as long as there is demand. They've already announced more are shipping out to stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no issue with not getting more than 1 Not 1st Print, that is silly. But limiting someone from getting a 1st Print and a Not 1st Print from the same store. That absolutely is silly.

I think we're going to see a fair number of 9.9s. I just got my one copy 1st print and it is borderline 9.9. I have slabbed a few 9.9 comics that I called as being such and this copy is very close. I would not doubt that we should see a fair number hit that mark. BladeTX 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy that sold that 1st 9.9 did well as the prices will likely drop as more come out (similar to Batman Damned) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
