  1. I expect the cool 2nd print variants to start going up as well. I hope they do this show right, it could be a cool one for sure.

    1. I hope so. I still have one set of signed 2nd prints by Frank B and Chris M from an early signing event I did. They are great looking covers. Also have the full run of regulars plus extras and a full run of Phantoms and Third eye variants. I love this book.

      1. Yeah, I snatched up a 9.8 CGC SS Ghost Variant #1 for about $100 a few months back. I hope it pays off. 🙂
