there used to be one AF15 thread in the SA section. Now there are two. And what's the title of this newer AF15 thread? Wonder why it's titled such as it is?
I'm beginning to believe variants are where the fun and money are. An example:
https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=amazing+spiderman+667&_sacat=0&_sop=16
AF15s ARE NOT RARE. At all. Even in HG. Variants on the other hand are rare by nature. 1:5000 makes for a true rare book. That's only 1 book you get for ordering 5000 books. Now that's the very definition of rare. I'm going to begin selling off my raw Swamp Thing run, raw Miller DD run, raw Miracle man run raw xmen run and my Spiderman 10, 20 and xmen 3 and take that money and get involved with variants. Truly rare comics. You should see the kids at Frank and Sons fight over variants.
Like it or not, it's the future of the hobby. Nobody going to see the latest Spiderman whatever is gonna get AF15, they're gonna get variants.
