It’s a good deal on the regs and Black and whites $6 each at comicmint. Has a $3.99 cover price so a couple bucks over + shipping. Luckily I checked my email yesterday morning, I knew of the variant coming had no idea it was going up for sale when it did. I debated doing a variant Envy on it Friday night, but because of recent woes for showcasing Mattina books I chose to write up the JSC SpiderGwen #24 variants. Wish I bought two copies of the virgin variant but only had enough for one copy with its hefty $60 price tag. I’m going to hear about it too, spent the money for the cable bill on it.
I think your Virgin Harley Natali Sanders will put all your regrets behind you 😉
Yes thank you VERY much for getting that variant for me and so many others you helped with that variant. How many did you end up getting?
Just checked that Harley SLCC variant says sold out on their website now. That’s big
I picked up 27 copies total. I think they gave me one extra, so 28. They actually gave me 27 raffle tickets for their CGC graded comics and diamond select statues they were raffling. I won a 9.8 Flash 21 Lenticular, so I got a kickback as well!
Sorry I didn’t get to the Variant Envy post in time. I was having a beer with Garth Ennis.
Oh it’s fine no worries, I figured you would be busy with the con. Please tell me you convinced him in starting a new preacher book!
Just checked the SpiderGwens they sold out too. Looks like people had money this weekend.
Had quite a few sales this weekend too, of things listed for awhile. One item a lying cat plush signed by Fiona Staples I had listed for over a year. Bring on the sales!
Wish I had got the Virgin. I didnt find out about it until after I saw it on ebay. Grabbed a copy of the other 2. 60 Dollars is alot but it looks awesome. Prolly a good thing it was sold out by the time I found out.
On a side note
I dont think Golden Apples has them. I just checked it out and the books are no where to be seen on that site.
Thanks
Very nice looking cover. However, I’m done with store variants. I may pick one up cheap if i happen to come across one for cheap, in the future. If not, I may just put the image on a Tee for $20. ?
I got to Mattina Variant Sets of 3, already flipped them
2 not to
I’m done with the 3 cover sets myself. Don’t care how much they heat up.. history tells us over time they almost always drop in price, so if I ever did want one, I’ll just wait. Patience is a virtue.
I completely forgot about these.
I went back and forth, but finally decided to pass on this one. Metal is super hot right now, but it may cool off in a month or two. Also $60 is a lot. You can pick up some nice Silver Age books at that price!
Good point
The Virgin cover looks awful IMHO. Adding the extra image over the top of the old one basically makes BWL look like he has T-Rex arms. Prefer the regular cover…and MUCH cheaper at that.
Imagine him waddling through Gotham with T-Rex arms chasing people..LOL that’s some scary shid
Koopa- I read your post- “T-rex Arms” & went back & looked (LMFAO I spit diet pepsi all over my keyboard, so you owe me a keyboard bud) 🙂
Looks like Frankie’s, Comic Mint, and Amorphous Ink are out of the B&W cover, but Sad Lemon still has the color and B&W sets for now (for those that are interested).
The virgin cover is really nice and looks like they are already pre-selling at a premium on ebay (which I hate). Personally done with store variants, just my preference. Don’t like people selling books they don’t even have in hand and claiming “NM” condition. But on a flip side this is the only way they make a profit on these books. Once they are released the under-cutters will be in full swing and I’ll try to grab one at cost or possibly less.
