Just curious, when buying JSC website exclusive sets, do you guys prefer to buy the signed sets or unsigned? If unsigned, is it because of the cheaper cost, cleaner look without the sig, or because you want the chance to get a CGC Signature Series signing with it later?

I prefer signed because they come with a nice looking nifty COA. But if it's a busy cover I get unsigned because I don't like a sig covering up art, or the logo. But a simple cover with a good spot for a sig I will buy the signed version. I'm not a grading whore, so that doesn't factor in for me

Wow. I just snuck in at the nick of time for a couple of unsigned 8 cover sets. 

[PerlAddict]

I went for the signed sets. $42.50 premium over the unsigned, but they tend to not sell out quite so quick. Unsigned were gone in 2 minutes. Signed were gone in 5. You can still get the two 4-book unsigned sets for only $6.80 more than the 8-book set was listed at, though.

I was just going to post that re: combining the two 4 book sets. With the discount code it is still a decent deal.

man, I was dicking around with my paypal login and the books were gone.  I was only looking for the unsigned premium ABEF set. 

[PerlAddict]

Yep, those are gone now, too. I honestly wanted the unsigned sets so I could have them around for a CGC SS opportunity someday, but I like his COA packaging and didn't want to risk missing out. I even had time to go back and find the Renew Your Vows #11 Black Cat Cover A and add it in with my order, too. $16.00 total shipping for 2 signed sets and the RYV book ... worked out pretty well!

[BeachBum]

Both of the signed 4 packs are still available as well as one of the two packs signed (Black Cat & Venom). Everything else is sold out. Fastest I've ever seen on unsigned.

Yeah, I just went back and bought the signed Premium set.  Better to have a copy than to have no copy at all (or to overpay for a copy).

[kimik]

Now it looks like everything except for the CDGH signed set is sold out? 

[kimik]

Not a bad morning for Mr. Campbell. Wake up, hit the shower, and do $250K+ in sales in 15 minutes?

I feel like I was lulled into a false sense of security by his last few offerings because I don't recall them selling out nearly this fast.  The Phoenix Resurrection sets (all but the unsigned ultra set) for example were up for hours.

[BeachBum]

Everything is sold out. Twenty-Two minute sell-out.

[Praxis52]

I had to buy the sets of 4 as the 8 sold out as I was checking out.  At least I was able to get a “set”.

This set sold out faster then any I have seen before, dang! Got a signed and unsigned set. Craziness!

Mr. Campbell is just providing a service to us and our LCS'.  By limiting the number of sets for sale he is saying "look, now the rest of you have more money for FCBD.  go forth and support your LCS."

I was able to get in there with two separate orders.  I think since because I was targeting the ABEF bundles.  I purchased 2 signed and 2 unsigned sets of ABEF.  (Which i believe to be some of the best of his covers yet!)  I was pretty disappointed with the Venom, Black Cat and Red Goblin covers...they feel very busy.
