dissident3 Posted January 4, 2018 Posted January 4, 2018 Issue 1 due in March. I'll add to my pull list and give it a shot for reading, but from a speculator standpoint, do you think it will hold long term value, or will the print run be too excessive? Also, the collector's edition: http://www.midtowncomics.com/store/dp.asp?PRID=OBLIVION+SONG+BY+KIRKMAN+_1711230 retail $200, midtown preselling for 150. Anyone going to take a gamble on it? 1000 piece run.
Bil Ganhs Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 I thought about that collector's edition. If the book gets hot, that statue could go right along with it.
Jon Yankowy Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 (edited) DCBS has the statue for $130. https://www.dcbservice.com/product/jan180599/oblivion-song-by-kirkman-de-felici-1-collectors-ed Edited January 5, 2018 by Jon Yankowy
Harley Troy Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 Got this from DCBS this morning: As stated in the description, this item was limited to 1,000 copies for the direct market. There are over 1500 direct market retailers so orders for this title were heavily allocated by the publisher. We are only receiving 1 copy out of our whole order and it will go to the customer who ordered it first. We will not be able to fill any other orders for this title unfortunately. All orders that we cannot fill have been canceled. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Harley Troy Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 Not likely, they are selling instantly for like 350 on Ebay, not really feeling it....
WolverineX Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 What is the print run on this? Sounds like they are overprinting... so I doubt this will be a repeat of WD or Invincible
Harley Troy Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 It's got some weird print run where they stated there would not be a 2nd printing, so I think it's going to be pretty high IIRC
___ Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 anyone know if the advance copy TPB can be graded by CGC? It is very thick, not sure if can be slabbed. I haven't seen any show up which surprises me as it would be the true first appearance of any characters that appear in issue 1-4.
cbalroman Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 I believe they still slab trades so I would think they could do it. ___ 1

Maybe you're thinking or prestige editions, like Harley Quinn #nn, Dark Knight Returns, etc...? Edited March 7, 2018 by ygogolak

cbalroman Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 Just now, ExNihilo said: Why would anyone slab a trade? When I started the graded run I have with East of West I graded everything. At one point the registry gave points for graded trades. Only reason I did it. the authority and ExNihilo 2

CKinTO Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 I picked one up to read today from the LCS. Doubt it will really rise in value given the news mentioned above that they're going to print a LOT to ensure no 2nd printings... This one isn't taking anyone by surprise, but hopefully it's a good story!
