Ms. Marvel #1 Variants

[micmack]

I was surprised that Midtown Comics in Times Square NYC was already sold out by the time I got there around 12:30 today! Went to a smaller store (the Time Machine) and the guy there said they had a line forming at their door waiting to get their only copies. Was forced to roll the dice (condition wise) on ebay for some copies! Sheesh!

Good luck. I called a local shop and they are holding the 1:35 sketch ($24.99) and the 1:15 ($9.99) for me. I got the last copies of each. Its going to hurt when I see the Sketch covers going for $5.00 a year from now.

[micmack]

Yeah I just spent the same (not including shipping). It was the lowest i could find on the Bay, but I'm sure they're not going to be NM...

I took off at lunch to go to a local shop. All out... but plenty of the standard Cho cover.

 

I paged through this and found that the art seemed to deteriorate as the story progressed (i.e. looked rushed to my eyes). So, back to the shelf it went.

 

I'll give later issues a look, but I'm wondering why Marvel chose to hype this book (not everything gets a sketch cover).

Who is the writer and artist on this series then? Any promotional shots/covers i can see?

[micmack]

Maybe they thought the same as you an that it needed the extra hype? I hope it does get better with the Brood in town.

I like that they helpful tell the consumer that they are variant editions.

Marvel is always looking out for the consumer.

There are people out there who are really into Michael Turner Variant covers. This being his first Marvel cover may have something to do with it? I do not know a whole lot about Ms. Marvel but this seems like an attempt to capitalize on the Supergirl/Power Girl popularity from DC.

Two stores I visited in Phoenix were sold out by lunchtime too. Not sure I want to pay eBay prices. Was hoping to pay $25, and SELL for eBay prices.

I have yet to go to my LCS. Usually he sells the variants the same day for less than 10 bucks. Hopefully he's not thinking of being crafty (knowing this is Turner first work for Marvel) and flipping them on e-bay. I don't want to flip it, I just wanna own it!!!!!!

[Chi Bamm]

I'm at my college right now, waiting for my god blessed brother. You guys have me paranoid as hell now that I won't get my hands on one. DAMN YOU BASTARDS FOR FUELING MY PARANOIA!! j/k

[Rob]

Few on eBay with $30 BIN, and $5 shipping. I wonder if I'll hate myself for not buying them in 2 months, when these are selling for $75.

[Chi Bamm]

Yeah I think these are going to stay a little high. Look at the New Avengers Variant. That one climbed up and has stayed up for over a year. That's not saying much after a couple of years but in the near future it is.

I sold Ultimate Spidey #1's at $35. That was dumb. But my thought process was "get out while the getting's good".

[matchstick johnny]

I plan on keeping my Turner Ms. Marvel variants.

 

Back when the Wolverine 1:65s hit I got myself 2 copies for $50 each and sold 1 on eBay for $100. I wanted to keep one(Love JR JR!) so I basically got mine for FREE!
