Silverdream Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 you're using the word REPRINT...no one that buys or sells these uses that word....it's a VARIANT. If you want to justify not buying one by considering it a reprint, go ahead. No one else is doing that though. If its a later printing, thats what it is. I mean, thats the defintion of reprint. How can anyone even argue with that? . Hey, call it what you want, thats fine. I'm not a huge modern guy, and it wouldnt make a difference either way as im not buying many moderns atm. I'm not here to pee in your cheerios folks, im just trying to understand this thought process, I see these as reprints... why do yall feel its not a reprint? Does anyone have regular conversations anymore? Ive answered some of your questions, why not answer some of mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsJustRyan Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Andy : this guy is not buying @ $100 If you go back 30 pages (or so) I have offered my opinion on variants. Summary - they: (1) promote books, (2) promote sales, (3) promote readership Publishers don't care about the secondary market value. This is all to increase readership.

Katchoo Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Silver: that's basically it. Hot, like it, buy it, complete the collection. Plus it's rare. Katchoo: I don't know what to say that hasn't already been said. You know you did some hate dropping and I called you out. I said I have no problem with your opinion, but be respectful. Banter is welcome (and I have forgot what the convo was even about ) How did you call me out? And I wasn't "hate dropping". My point was it was disrespectful to gloat about small print runs right in front of a creator. I still stand by that. How it's ok to reply to that with a "f you" is mind-boggling. (or telling me to hand in my "man card" and all the other nonsense that was said) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBT Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 wow, its hot in here! Someone exec summary the 300+ posts i missed. Also, within the context of all this fervor, has there been any drama regarding Image keeping almost half the ComicsPro as comps to flip themselves? It's a dangerous game when the people "printing" the money, start getting too in on the action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beige Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 I'm not dissing anyone R - just urging less 'solvent' boardies not to put their mortgage money on these. Im sure you would agree with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjeanius Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 those $125s are staying up longer now, hitting a bit of resistance. The print run might be 500, but there are likely less than 50 people willing to pay $125 for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creators are getting wise, causing a secondary surge and selling themselves. No issue with that - just buyer beware! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Linguini Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Didn't Kurtis Weibe say the creative team of Peter Panzerfaust received $10,000 from Image as payment and that was split between three of them? I could be wrong on the figure but I'm pretty sure he suggested they don't make nearly as much as they should for what they provide us, the consumer, the collector. Keeping that in mind, I think its a great thing that Image creators are realizing the market and selling their books at a great markup! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
