Crops068 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Not sure which packs but there are reports of 1:1000 Hulk and Thor, neither of these are my finds. kairos70 and ADAMANTIUM 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ygogolak Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 They are dropping a number of high ratio variants in these. 1:500 and 1:1000's. Not necessarily different ones, but plentiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awakeintheashes Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Hmmm I just went to a store with a ton and that Thor may have been in one. Looked like it now that I’m seeing it. Will have to go back and check when I pass by again today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awakeintheashes Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 (edited) These were my pulls today. Anybody know the story behind the apocalypse & The X-Tracts? No eBay listings or sales that I can find. Quick search says it’s a secret variant. Edited August 7, 2021 by awakeintheashes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reason I ask is High Republic #6 is on top of new packs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ygogolak Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 I'm now seeing the ASM #55 3rd Print (blue) Virgin Patrick Gleason STORE EXCLUSIVE is showing up in packs. Haven't seen that move before. BishopT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That or the HR #3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found a Gleason 55 2nd print 1:50. The book was sandwiched between an Extreme Carnage Alpha (top) book and a Return of the Valkyries Black History Variant. The Gleason was easy to identify, I looked for a white background along the spine, and then traced the ‘web’ markings from the pic that was posted on this CGC forum (I had bought the pack home, and compared the markings before opening the pack). I think this is random between the packs (someone posted on here that they found it with the Star Wars HR 6 pack), so the giveaway is the method I used above.Dont know how to identify the others without actually opening the packs, and dont want to spend on books I am not interested in. If anyone knows of a way, please share. Thanks ! Edited August 8, 2021 by DocCRR STORMSHADOW_80 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corona smith Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 I’m not buying it with these new packs with claims of store exclusives and 1:1000 variants that have come out in the last few months?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocCRR Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 This morning, I picked up an Aliens pack and found a 1:200 Eternals 1 KIRBY CRACKLE (??) incentive ratio variant at the bottom. The cover is purple with a bunch of yellow splotches on it (back and front). So if interested, an indication of this book is to look for yellow and purple color splotches along the spine.

fastballspecial Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Against my better judgement I tried twice. Both SW 6 packs and missed both times. Although I didnt take them and return them like some have done. I pulled 2 lenticular BP 166 in the middle and back were two light colored avengers variants so while I did find it's not that easy they are in all packs as I checked all others for white books and is tough if u don't have the right lighting.

manetteska Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 (edited) I found a pack which looked like the Gleason but turned out to be Guardians of the Galaxy 13 Shattered variant. Edited August 8, 2021 by manetteska Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jemin Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 I happened upon these in a Wal Mart in a neighboring town. I'm not sure which are the newer packs but there were a few Silk, Captain Marvel, King In Black Scream and some DC packs. I picked up the Scream pack. Wally world in my town only has DC packs which I am not interested in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Start by looking for a spine with a white background, then match the lines you see according to the pattern of the cover pic posted earlier. This is what I did. Didnt want to open the plastic, till I was somewhat sure the pattern matched, so bought it, took it home and then compared it. You have to look real carefully at the pattern. Mine was in the middle and the pattern clearly matched, so my odds were greater, and it panned out. If it didnt match, I would return it for a refund. Hope this helps ! maidenmate91 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wally world in my town only has DC packs which I am not interested in. These look like the older packs. The Capt. Marvel is an Artgerm Walmart variant (longer hair vs. the shorter cut in the regular issue). I think the poster above indicated that the orange sticker identifies the newer packs.
