I appreciate your reply JollyComics but I am switching to online because my LCS does not and will not give me the titles I subscribe to in NM condition nor will they bag and board them for me even if I give them my own bags and boards. They also only give a 10% discount to subscribers which as many titles as I get is just not cutting it, I average $4-500.00 a month in subscriptions, sorry but for that kind of monthly pay out I expect my books in NM condition and I do not want the hassle of having to track down single issues every month because I got shorted. The other problem is my LCS orders the bare minimum so when they do received damages from Diamond, I either get books in VF condition or I may not get them at all, last month I was shorted over 5 books on 5 different titles because of this so then I had to go buy them online anyways. We have a new shop that is higher end that has opened here recently that does bag & board all their books on the rack which personally they way I feel in today's age with the costs of basic books being so high, ALL shops should do this as a courtesy, I know it is an extra cost and amounts to a lot annually but these books are not 35 cents or even $2.50 each anymore, the average is $5.00, for that shops should do this for their customers. I was able to pick up 2 copies each of Batman Damned #1 cover but they have a limit of 2 per customer and I forgot to load up on them and order ahead so that was my fault but still 2 each on any book is pretty limited. I am glad I got those either way though, 2 each is more than most people were able to get of them. My LCS does get a lot of variants, the newer store specializes in the higher ratio variants so I have a nice local mix but I still prefer to get them with a heavy discount which in turn allows me to buy more books.
