The spine with purple and yellow splotches is the 1:200 Eternals 1 variant. This and the Gleason were the only ones I could readily match. The others would need a lot more effort to color match by the spine - the good books could be in the middle and the bottom.

maidenmate91 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 (edited) Found a Gleason variant, found via tips about following lines along spine. There are 4 diagonal lines on the top left. Easily spotted if searching for it. Edited August 9, 2021 by maidenmate91 DocCRR and ADAMANTIUM 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ygogolak Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Another store variant found. Taskmaster #3 2nd print. maidenmate91 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if stores get a discount if they tell Marvel to keep a certain amount of the books that have variants for. For example, Store A does a 500 copy store variant, but Marvel requires a minimum order of 3,000 copies per variant. Is it possible Store A gets a discount if they tell Marvel to keep 2,000 of those books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HotKey Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 More fun to the walmart variantgate story: these "exclusive" Walmart only packs are now also available at Meijers for only $9.99, and they ring up so they are in the system and it's not a matter of them being misplaced in the wrong store. I bought it myself and took these pics: ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotKey Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 And this torpedo comics exclusive was in it: Legion HQ, ADAMANTIUM, BishopT and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crops068 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 This is not about the 1:50 but the virgin 3rd print that was his store exclusive. Have heard of the torpedo and an unknown exclusive in the mix. I am looking for the shattered GotG and the 2nd print ASM (just want a 2nd one). No luck so far.

AJLewandoski Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Found these at Meijer today as well and decided to get a pack. I think I struck it pretty good Black Cat annual #1, Excalibur #18, and the Spider Man #55 2nd print variant. For $10 I can't complain BishopT, WolverineX and DocCRR 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry this happened to him and @jonjesper Hopefully, Marvel, Penguin, or both have a good answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastballspecial Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 It will be alright. The $5 and Below store UF4 Variants didnt affect prices that much. But it does completely puncture the idea that many of these books indeed have limited print runs. jsilverjanet and oldmilwaukee6er 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maidenmate91 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 I'm thinking about going back and buying all the available packs. Just for fun...I got a Gleason 2nd print ratio, and a non-stop spider-man #1 premiere variant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinvirgos Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Here is what my nearby Walmart had. Was pleasantly surprised to see the Artgerm variant cover for The Amazing Mary Jane #1. DocCRR and ADAMANTIUM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
