Looking for some serious honesty from one of the main Phantom variant dealers.

 

With how fast this book is selling on pre-orders, I'm starting to wonder about how the print run is going to go.

 

From the looks of it, this book will sell out in 1-2 more days IF the print run was already set in stone.

 

My question, for any honest and open Phantom Variant dealer in the know is this:

 

If your initial agreement with Marvel, was lets just say 5,000 copies. Are you going to double, or even triple that order since it hasn't shipped, and most likely hasn't been printed yet?

 

I'm starting to wonder if it even CAN sell out, it almost has the feeling of " order as many as you like, we will have them print enough to cover the orders"

As tempting as it is, I'm staying out of this one... I'll watch from afar and either regret it, or be really glad i'm not stuck with a copy. One of the auctions stated that this is a 3000 ltd. print run. but your question is still valid.

Exactly my point. They obviously had an initial order set up with marvel, with a set print run, but I am really starting to wonder if they initially set it up for 3,000 copies, can't they just call marvel up and tell them... " umm yeah its hot, print another 10,000" I highly doubt Marvel would say no to making more money.

 

 

Some one really needs to answer this question.

Larry stated the run is 3000 for the color and 1500 for the B/W.

 

 

That's fine, I just cant help but wonder, if all 3,000 sell out in a day, which is where this is heading, cant they just ask for more?

 

If they are going to state the print run, then it needs to be that number.

Has anyone ever known phantom to do a 2nd printing? In all the phantom variants I've seen I don't believe a 2nd print has occurred. I grabbed a handful of these since i missed out on EoS

 

With the printing and shipping schedules and the amount of books that get printed , I think 3 weeks is way too tight of turn time.

only one person can answer this question, and based on his CGC board floggings, I wouldn't expect this to be the venue for him to respond to that question.

Supposedly there was a final cutoff for orders of this issue.

 

Maybe a 2nd print will be in the works. (shrug)

I want to make it clear that I am not insinuating anything sinister is going on here. I'm just asking a question that I really think needs to be answered. I've never seen a book sell so fast in my life.

 

If they could request more copies before the initial run was printed, it wouldn't be considered a 2nd printing btw, to answer the question above.
