I assume then that you know about the #2, 7, 8, 33 and 34 2nd prints as well as the error version of 35 and don't consider them variants.....
Yeah, I knew about them. When I think of the word variant, I don't think of 2nd prints.
I think of a book coming out at the same time as the 1st print with a different cover, or a foreign version. That's just me.
Cool, thanks for the feedback everyone. I just like hearing about what and why people collect what they collect.
One last question for anyone that cares to play along.
Do any of you all have the #2, 7, 8, 33 and 34 2nd prints? FWIW, I consider them a kind of variant so I have them.
For me with my focus(L&K), I hated 2nd prints at first. But, learned to appreciate them more when Joe and Gabe altered the DF, HC, TPB, $1 and Special Edition's story panels, leaving the 1st and 2nd prints unaffected. It makes them a little more interesting now, when people read the trades that are different then the 2nd prints even. I have the only L&K error copy too. I had to rip another black hole in the universe to find one(only 65 miles away and for $4 in 9.8 condition ).
If I was collecting graded Walking Deads, I would collect the 2nd prints and error copies too.
But not the trades graded.
