    Edit: apologies for quoting an old post, I was casually browsing and wasn’t paying attention, didn’t realize I had not clicked the arrow link to go to the last page. 🙄

    The fact that this book is turning everyone into LCS secret police is "great" (sarcasm)

    Super cool(sarcasm) love Bad Idea (also sarcasm).

    I'm not hunting this stuff down... the gimmick super limited FP and and readily available NFP that come out the same day is a trash business model leading to nothing but shenanigans.... Just my honest opinion.

    I’ve been undercover so long I can’t get out, I’m in too deep!

    I wasn’t looking to snitch or something, I was just taken aback by the price. This store has marked up new books before, even asking $1 for free comic book day books last year, though covid kind of messed that up for everybody.

    Disregard my post, carry on!

    As long as the print run sells out they will do another its a simple formula for smaller companies. 

    BRZRKR is the one leaving me shaking my head. The massive print run and the belief that the later prints will be worth a ton is staggering.

     

    If they sell out that makes sense, but to plan them before the 1st print is even released... if they know it’s going to sell out why not just make more first prints? It feels very much like a ploy to get people to buy the same book over and over, I was mainly thinking about marvel here.

    The theory is that within any grade there is a range. Some 8.0s will be below average and some will be higher.  QES was an outside company that tried to select the finest copy of a grade and give them a shiny sticker.

    It's a bridge too far for most people.

    How much did people pay for that? Did they have to ship them to QES? Seems like a lot of expense for a sticker 🤷‍♂️
