Thanks! How do you know that?
By the way, what would be a fair price for buying it? eBay prices don't look fair to me, but I could be wrong.
Diamond Retailer Sketch is whack! Not worth a penny in the long term if you ask me. If I were you I'd focus on key issues. It will be worth your time and money to buy another copy of issue 19 or 2 than another variant cover.
Possibly, but you need to factor in this may potentially become a key issue with the introduction of the new characters and then add a limited variant on top of that. The reason 19 is key is the introduction of a key character. I do believe the current prices are inflated and may slip off. The only reason I bought one from my LCS is that it was $50 and couldn't fathom spending ebay prices. I did consider flipping it, but the completion it in me is keeping it.
I think 127 is a key issue. For $50 it's a steal. I'm afraid to say what I spent for mine but it was a lot less than what most are selling for on E-bay now. I see many of the sellers saying the print run was 500, but I have yet to see any kind of real source for the info.
I guess it depends on the person making the purchase. It's great that you folks are making comic book collecting entertaining.
I just don't see the value of variant covers. You can get the same comic (still 1st print) for half or fraction of the price.
IMHO variant cover is a cheesy way to sell more of the same issue.
