Hickok8AA8

To be fair, I've had nothing but NM+ books from Frankie's thus far, I've ordered maybe 8-10 books from them. Hoping this is an isolated incident.

The CBSI 9.8 club is a great question, hopefully they (Frankies/SadLemon) just sent them their alotted books without cherry picking, but there is no way to know for sure. That should just be the risk the 9,8 club has to take on 500 print run books....there's no guarantee.....that's why I'm paying you 2-3x (minumum) the cost of slabbing myself. If you can not attain all promised 9.8s, issue a refund and apologize.

Something tells me they cherry picked though, because I have heard NO mention or concern on the G+ page as to the damage which, so far, 90-100% of public orders have...

That said, I received my color/b&w set yesterday, no color breaking creases, and the B&W looks to be NM+, it has some ripples along the spine, but nothing that wont press out.

Yea, it will be the same cover. They just changed terminology. It's unrealistic the a painter like Dell'Otto would create an entirely different piece for the 3rd variant, they said it would take ordering another 3k books to get another cover.

I feel like it's safe to say, 100% yes.

We really have to see the covers first and it's hard to lose with these variants regardless, and GR has a strong core fan base. I would think SHIELD will help visibility. They both have potential to be monsters, really.

Perhaps you have heard of something that runs the economy call the stock market?

Haha, fair enough, but I don't wan't to play the stock market or gamble, I just want to buy comics at a fair, set price from retailers. me right?

Mainly I'm just salty I missed the $50 run, and don't have $100s of disposable income for 2 releases.

Man if you snooze you REALLY lose. I can even accept the first 300 "discount" but why lord, why is there a 3rd wave? That's just gouging.

Edit:

How does that even work, 3 tier timed mark up?? I have to pass at $75

 

I know, but looked what happened with the Dell'Otto HQ Pink....

Yea but it's a retail product, you don't see target marking their "hot" items up. Lottery tickets don't go up as more are sold either. What other market does this?

Hot damn, that was a crazy fast sell out! I went to lunch from 1-2 and missed everything!

Agreed, but it's hard to compare those two titles. Popular new indy micro prints seem to be doing pretty well overall.

Animosity #2 Kyle Strahm variants released by Frankie's comics.

The cover images has not been released yet, but there will be two covers. A regular cover, limited to 150 copies and a black and white variant limited to 50 copies.

Sold out in about 12 hours. Thoughts?
