Looks like goodbye to flipping Hastings variants

Good or bad? I like it since I don't have any Hastings near me and I like having all the covers.

If you can flip raw copies sold at the local comic shops, you can still flip these.

This story was out before the Deadpool & Iron Man #1 issues were released and it hasn't affected those that have paid top dollar for them. In saying that, neither issue has been available online either so I'm under the impression that once it hits their "back issues" then it will be available. Also, you never know what you're going to get from Hastings. I have two within 2 hours from home and I used to visit them and I was lucky enough to cherry pick through them as they were putting them out for sale. Lots of their issues were damaged before the mishandling that their employees give them. Also, they are not saying the condition of the comics either.

Pulling the NM copies is key with the Hastings stuff. I sell them here and its a lot of work for a couple of dollars per copy. I make way more on the handful of copies I flip on eBay. I do it more to help out boardies than to make money though.
