I like pie Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 One thought and a question. First, I keep thinking that the 2nd printing of this is only around 2k. Very small print run and should be going up in price. Second, any guesses what the thought bubble will be at in two weeks? Everyone states this is the one they truly desire. The problem with the TB is almost everyone knows there are major spine issues with this book. I think people would pay 300-400 raw if they knew it was a 9.8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkstar Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Forgive me if Im being nieve or uniformed.... Why are these late released "variants" being considered so collectible? I do not understand how a book that was released 2-3 months ago like NWM # 1 just now gets a variant and people look at it the same way as many of the 1:50 or 1:100 variants that get released on the same day as the regular version. Is this not just a glorified second print or third or 4th print? If the indicia does not mention its a later print, that is plain deceitful IMHO. Unless they were printed months ago, which I HIGHLY doubt. I understand the modern market is crazy right now, I understand this book was limited to 500. So what? Many REPRINTS have lower print runs. Unless I am missing something, Im having a hard time understanding why people on these boards would care for something like this. Well, maybe since the member count has doubled in the last year that would explain it.... I just dont get it..... Next thing your gonna tell me is that there will be a 2013 SDCC variant of NWM # 1 limited to 300 and selling for $200.. and issue # 7 will be on the stands...... Thats retarded. RRP's are generally put out before release...most 1st print variants are put out the same month, most of which the same day. Someone explain to me why this is collectible. Tell me why YOU want a CGC SS 9.8 of this book, because I dont get it. I want to understand. because completionists with disposable income.

Silverdream Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 I knew I would get these generalized responses, that people throw at all books that are stupid hot. This book is different however. Its 3 months after the first issue came out. I again ask you, why the would you buy this at more than $5. Its a limited reprint, who cares. If I wasnt too lazy I could show you multiple " Hot" books that have very limited reprints that sell for cover or less.... cause WHO CARES. Saga is one example. Different colored covers for reprints. This one is different because its a special reprint at a con? give me a break. this is not your NWM RRP people, stop being goofballs. Yep, looks like we found another H8R. If you don't like what we do, the coin society is taking applications. Or are you someone that just like to poke a finger in someone's eye to merit a response? Bad form. I was not aiming anything I said at anyone in paticular. I asked several questions in my OP and am looking for the reasons behind why these books are being looked at in the way they are. These " Special variants" that come out months and months later are starting to happen more and more, and its really something that I don't understand. How a book with a different color scheme, that was not part of the original printings, is worth more than the original. Asides from the lower print run, I do not understand. And as I said, many later printings have lower print runs, and do not follow this pricing logic. If you like it, buy it, thats fine. Im just wanted to understand the thought process.

I just meant if someone was going to slab a raw, I think they would pay that much if they knew it was a 9.8. I predict the first graded TB goes for 500-700 on ebay.

ItsJustRyan 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.

I gotta agree with Silverdream. This is the strangest frenzy i've seen in 12 months. Butthurt was occuring before the price rises, now theres the very real risk of losing a LOT of money. Seriously,some of you need to count to 10 and take a deep breath. I'm all for speculation but laying out $100 a pop for a different coloured cover is just daft. I'm starting to really dislike Image at the moment - which is so sad as their book content is great - but their selling strategies - 1 step up from Larry tbh. Just coz ES posts here, doesn't mean its law. He IS a creator after all. Or did this board collectively miss his name on MANY front covers. Last one holding the baby gets financially butt-raped on this book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krighton Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 would like to know how this guy got so many copies. I thought the idea was to limit them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsJustRyan Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 One other thing Silver: limited variants create buss and hype for completionists - make them a must have, hence driving the price up (FYI). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pike's Comics Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 In my mind the Thought Bubble is the RRP. Exactly. I think if you are buying with the pokemon mind set then go ahead and buy one of each. If you are buying to flip/invest I would be grabbing every thought bubble I could under 150 right now.
