I wanted the brunette cover also until I noticed her weird tiny ankle. For some reason it doesn't look as bad on the other covers where she's wearing black. Looks like on those covers they are colored to look as if her butt is in the foreground covering a portion of the ankle. But on the white costume cover it's colored to look like the ankle is in the foreground in front of the butt and thus we have a too tiny ankle. Weird. Makes me glad I didn't buy the full set just to get it

I hadn't noticed this until you pointed it out and now I can't unsee it.  Now I'm glad I only grabbed cover A.  

Was looking forward to this but considering NRG is part shelter after Hurricane Harvey, it makes sense to postpone.

If you really want something, keep checking back for a bit. They will show back up unless they are just holding everything else back. They did not sell everything out. Theres no way. This isn't Ticketmaster. The print run was too high on these and his stuff usually takes a couple hours at least if its gonna sell out one of the sets (like unsigned set usually goes first). His website could not have sold that many within 10-15 minutes especially with the limit per order.

Yeah I think it was an issue with my mobile browser.  While I like cover D, nycc variant, I have no desire to buy the full set especially since this is going to just end up in my PC.

Theres no way everything sold out that fast. I bet its a glitch or something. There would have to be a few of something left. I bet they all come back soon or something. That has to be odd. 

I grabbed 2 of the unsigned set.

You are right.  Completely closed everything down and they are still available.  Not sure what happened there.  Good looking out!

I just wanted cover a.  Everything is sold out and being posted on ebay for twice the price already.  

Stay safe man!  As a Houstonian, all of us in Texas are with you!

Venomverse #1 (Scorpion Comics Mattina virgin variant) s/s Mattina - $195

Ten (10) spots

Print run 1000 cps.

I'll take one CGC SS Mattina

As someone in Houston, thank you for what you are doing.  It's been hell and I feel very fortunate for my experience.  

Edit:   Going to hold off on mattina variant for now/give up my spot but still would like SS CGC on Sensational Comics   

Oh man I've been in hurricane Harvey hell in Houston but have come out on the other side luckier than can be.  I have a Sensational comics order with you that I'd like to get the SS on.

From Dell'Otto I assume. Become close with facilitators that do business with him and his rep David Ceci. David sells the original artwork from the covers plus other pieces. If you know Dell'Otto will be at a con find out who's hosting him and see if there is a commission list. And finally see if any facilitators are selling prearranged spots for commissions. Scott's Collectibles did this for LSCc. 

Yes, for Dell'Otto.  His pieces/covers are beyond amazing.  Thanks for the tips!

How would one go about inquring about a commission piece, or a commission for a blank variant?

Ok here it is

 

So does this mean if we pre-ordered our virgin Variant when first available that this is what we are getting?  Or is it a seperate virgin variant now available?

Maybe I was missing something, but what was the difference in the set and the standard ? They looked the same to me out side of I guess the back cover NYCC logo? 

Looked like the only difference was a virgin variant exclusive to NYCC, with a smaller print run.

Anybody catch the new Scorpion Venomverse #1 Exclusives?

Picked up the standard cover.  Frankly tired of "sets."   This and the Mattina variant are my "must haves" for this book.

Supergirl #12 (artgerm variant) s/s Steve Orlando (writer) and Stanley "artgerm" Lau - $155

Ten (10) spots)

 

My wallet is going to hate me but   

And as for Liefeld, I noticed at SDCC he had upped his fees for signings.  Anything NM 87/98 related was pretty high up there compared to everything else.

I had an ASM 300 slabbed as a 9.8 cracked open to get signed by Stan, McFarlane, And Michelinie. Came back a 9.4. I talked to the facilitator he pressed on his dime. It came back a 9.8. But I was stressed.

Fair enough.  I guess it only takes one hit on a book of that magnitude to make you wary of cracking the case.  Glad it all worked out for you!   

I'm just back into collecting after a 25 year absence, thanks to SDCC.  Thanks to this thread, I've discovered Dell'Otto and am saving to buy a few gems I really like.  Now I've decided it's just best to pony up and get the already slabbed 9.8 with the hope of getting them s/s down the line.  My question to those who are hesitant to this type of endeavor, is how many times have you personally had a cracked book come back at a lower grade or how many horror stories have you read?  My vote doesn't count for much, but I'd love Dell'Otto signing that beautiful book you just picked up, but can understand why you wouldn't want to take the risk.  

I'm assuming this include CGC fees, signing fees, etc.  

Ouch...

Who's doing that exclusive?? Looks great

Was offered by 5 different online retailers.  I'm assuming each one had 50 each.  All 5 stores are now sold out.  

  Jim Lee variant Metal 1 with Lee, Capullo, and Snyder!

edit....

I'll take one of these as well! S/s Pak for $155!

Not sure if anyone else got the email but the print run just dropped a lot on these. I liked the art but was holding back, now these look to be the lowest print run Metal Books

Only Cover A remains.  The other two are sold out.  Saw the full set a mere two days ago and didn't realize how much I liked them until today.
