Ok now seriously, what the heck???

So I was going to write about something small and trivial or whatever but I just happened to look on the bleedingcool.com website before work and now apparently the Ditko Covers 1:200 variant are going for so much that Marvel just happened to have some extra's laying around and are now including them with the second printings shipments.

Called the store where I got mine already at and yep. Apparently they are going through with this idea. His take is that not only are they getting them but will be doubling up on the price due to the need to buy comics that really only collector's are going to want to get. There plan is to order enough to get 4 and send 2 away for grading... This is one of the reasons why even though I love Marvel and many of the story lines I hate the corporate machine.
