Revival 0

[krighton]

i would think there's a higher printing cost for printing such a few copies...probably can't get the discounts the same as when you print a ton at once.

[Colicab]

That being the case, why was Revival 1 4th print which is a beautiful cover by the way, 2.99?

[krighton]

no idea...why are midtown variant covers $10 a pop...most variants are just more expensive than normal...has to be some extra costs involved. If not overhead for the backer of the variant.

[Colicab]

Valid point. I almost think my negativity about this particular variant comes from behavior of certain individuals on these boards. I really liked the idea at first but the way he goes about it is just ugh.

 

I think the moment I made that decision is when he stepped all over a certain competition's(Ghost) thread. That irked me a little, but hey we do live in a capitalistic society?

Which variants are you regarding?

Yes it does. I will be slabbing this one, which by default will force me to slab my 1-4 second prints, which by default with force me to slab 1 (3rd and 4th) and 2 (3rd - want it anyway)

My goal is to get Jenny to sign a 5a in blue and a 5b in red, get cgc'd (hopefully 10.0's ), then go back to the framers to re-do the framing with the OA.

How much Midtown charge for shipping?

[HugeRosen]

gonna get a few of the phantoms tomorrow (#1 and #6) to go along w/ the regular #6

 

Passing on that drek! Reprint 6-7 months later for a 15 dollar premium? Really?

$15 is too much IMHO. I though the purpose was to invigorate the series by getting it in the hands of readers.

 

This is a collector premium price and @ $15 for a reprint I'm hesitant (if I start down this path I will be shelling out $$$$ every month at these prices times how ever many I get - at least two - 1 and 6 this month - .

 

I thought they were going to be cover price (maybe in the stores)?

 

Remember, it's not a money grab

 

Each store can charge what they want. Some are nice and are doing it at cover for subscribers. Unfortunately I have no participating stores by me and will not be paying $15 each. This has put me off from attempting to put together competitive cgc set which makes me

midtown does free S&H when you hit the $75 mark

I've been done with that race. My goal now is just a 9.8, first print set (don't get any ideas - keeping the 9.9 for now).

is $3.99 the cheapest/slowest speed, media mail? Thinking of like 1-5 copies or less. I probably can't do any order $75 for raw so Free S&H is out of hand.

They don't ship media mail. Just standard mail via ups mail solutions. You don't need to get to $75, but I suggest ordering at least 7 comics so they come shipped in a box instead of flimsy cardboard mailer. I think it's $4.99 for like 7-15 comics or something like that.

alternate prints aren't really variants in the truest sense of the word.
