ItsJustRyan Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 x2 What's up with that dude? "They" should know better. I order some books from a comic store one time and they taped them together and put them in a large box with some wads of paper. I'm sure they banged around, but arrives okay. Going back to my old word.... insanity! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThoseBackPages Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 where are the slabs of the FP and Ghost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stguchi Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I figured since I am on the west coast my copies from FP would not show up for a while like the Bedlam copies. Decided to look into it today and found out my order was canceled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaseman210 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 where are the slabs of the FP and Ghost? I'm debating whether to grade mine. I'm sure there will be less of them in 9.8 than the regular print. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MutantKeys Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Being that one guy purchased 185 and another 100, along with the others who purchased 10-25 copies here....I'd say half of the print run will get slabbed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whetteon Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Is this a 280+ page post about one issue or have the other issues already came out? I found a #1 at my LCS that was sitting there and I figured it couldn't have come out to many weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slym2none Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 #2 has not yet been released, I believe that is the last Wednesday in April - the same day that the second print of #1 is to be out. At this point, we are all just either bragging about the 100+ copies we ordered, or goggling at the fact that so many people preordered 100+ copies. :: Also, 280 pages? My settings have it at 126 pages... -slym (is now thinking this isn't the investment issue he thought it was going to be) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the authority Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 I'm showing 252 pages ? Oh well, I still think this book is a breat buy. If well written comics with cool art wont sell, nothing will. I haven't heard any negatives about this book other than print run and I don't see that being an issue . Word of mouth ( blogs, reviews, and forums ) will drive this as long as the story and art continue to be top notch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoarding on speculating worked so well for Return of Superman. I put my kids through college with those books. Wait I don;t have kids. The only East of West #1 that is going to have some good value to it if the book is still around this time next year has not been released yet. That is book is coming though in 2 weeks.

slym2none Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Oh, I didn't hoard this book - I found out about it mere days before its release, and got only two regular copies & one Ghost Variant. I also never said anything would or would not rise in value. It's just hearing of all the people here that have 100 copies and knowing most of those will be CGC'd, I think maybe my hunch on this one isn't going to be as great as I thought. But then again, I have never really been a "speculator," so if my Spidey-sense is a little off, I don't really mind. Just another lesson that I should stick to collecting the dang things if I am going to have anything to do with them at all. -slym Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember when all those people hoarded WD #1 and now made thousands selling them? No.......me either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastballspecial Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Finally got my FPs today and they arrived in great NM+ shape. They changed their packing style and it seems to benefit them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
