ASM #700

it's dawdling, not doddling......

Speaking of ASM 700, anyone know the ratios on the variant covers that were selling for cover price? I'm not talking about the Ditko or Quesada variants. I'm talking about the two Martin covers, the Ramos wraparound and the Coipel covers. I can't find any reliable info out there, but I'm seeing eBay listings describing these variants at 1:50. Can anyone verify this? Anyone know the ratio on the Midtown comics variant?

[TSwift25]

The midtown one won't have a ratio, it will just be a limited print run. Probably somewhere in the neighborhood of 5000 copies.

I don't get why I haven't gotten an email about my midtown order shipping...

[Mishmashman]

Probably because they sold out. j/k

 

I was at the Times Sq location yesterday and overheard someone asking to order 10 copies of each variant. The salesperson said, "We'll hold one or two of each for you, but not 10." Scalpers--gotta love 'em!

[ChrisInBaltimore]

No it looks like it shipped. I'm not sure why I didn't get an email and it has no shipping status. I hope it comes today! I'm a sucker for Campbell covers. If only my wife had let me hang up that MJ Cover he did awhile back!

I recieved my copies yesterday, today I recieved the tracking info.

Check your junk mail folder. All my midtown order emails went there.

Re the standard issue: 'Amazing Spider-Man' #700 sells >250,000, haha. I love it. This is going to be almost as rare as Spawn #1! Imagine the resale in 5 years. It may have crept back up to cover price.

[Mishmashman]

Yeah, but I don't know if people are going after the regular as much as the variants, which rumor has at 1:50 for the regulars. So what is that? 5,000 copies per?

I think it amazing how quickly they came out with those numbers.

 

And I think it will be all about the variants on this one. They put out lots! My store didn't even get a lot of them with their order. They only had the Christmas cover and one other.

 

One thing that struck me was it looked like no on had even touched their racks. A lot of it could have to do with the bad weather and it being the day after Christmas though...

The story is not that great though.

The regular variants the OP is asking about were not on a ratio. They were order what you want. There will be no published ratio on these. Only the big 1:100 and 1:200, etc were actually exclusive based on qty ordered of regular cover.

isnt "cost" on this one about $800?

[HarryRod]

Cost on it at Midtown was ~ $200 before they sold out....i tried to get in on one but missed out.

 

[ThoseBackPages]

no, "cost" as in a store had to order 200 of the mess to get that variant
