Red Sonja #1 1:300 variant?

[Hobgoblin]

Anybody know anything about a 1:300 variant of Red Sonja #1? Is it real?

[Hobgoblin]

Oh, apparently there are a ton of low ratio variants for this issue. I'm sure this was visited in the past. Are they worth investing in?

Investing in them? That's a tough one. I want to say no. The series is pretty good but it's no where near as good as Conan. I just don't see a dedicated quality team in the long run. And that's why I think it wouldn't be a good investment. On the other hand, it does have a good following now and they have kept the quality relatively high. A 300 to 1 ratio is pretty good for today's variants. If you can get it cheap, it might be worth it. Always hard to tell with independant books. Could be trash or a treasure.

 

Sorry I wasn't much help.

Is this the one you were talking about:

 

1 in 300 RRP Variant - Red Sonja

 

The other problem I see is a saturation of variants for the title. There has only been a few issues but there are a million variants. Personally, I think New Avengers tanked some of their steam by doing a supposedly rare variant for every single issue. They really should have spaced it out so as not to burn people out.

It's actually one of the ugliest of all the #1 covers too bad.

The difference for me this time is i will pick the best cover and buy 1 as opposed to buying 50 xfactor 1 and X-men 1 gatefolds that are still sitting in long boxes. Heck the mice won't even eat them.

Well, I just got a pretty good deal I think on every single variant of Red Sonja #1, included an autographed one. I'll take my chances. I like most of the covers anyway.

I agree with this and practice it. I made the dumb mistake of buying tons of variants in the 90s. Today, I see it as a win-win. I can choose the cool cover and the variant collector can collect a million variants. As I stated before though, I really think too many variants makes people run from the book.

Yeah, the purchase I just made was basically for the 1:300 variant, but I get all the regular edition variants and the 1:65 variants as a bonus.

Yep, there are a crazy number of variants for this title...

I sold a 1in300 for my LCS a month ago VF+ (I think/) ungraded for about 90.00. I was surprised by the final price. If someone has a 9.8 they may be quite lucky as he received a damaged copy, complained, and got another damaged book sent to him. The white covers he had, had scuff marks on them but...they still sold pretty well.
