yucky. people are paying that much for that dreaded Marvel Rising variant ?
It’s not even a character first appearance, right? Just a “Team” or maybe it’s just a first appearance of certain characters fighting alongside each other.
Its a nothing book. No 1st anything. Its been pumped on G+ as low print ratio variant, which is driving the demand, imo.
Its being ‘pumped’ due to its low print run. I can not see this having any long term value.
It’s the only reason people are buying it I think with artificial demand. The cover isn’t even that special if you ask me. The only thing that makes this special is it’s a ratio variant and that’s not even really special.
But don’t get me wrong, I’ll happily flip it if I acquired one if people are buying.
Agreed. Mind you, I am from a smaller market. I have lots of shops to visit, but not many deal in the kind of volume that would have higher ordering ratios met. I dont deal with, or come across, many 1:25 ratio variants in my travels and I never order online. The shipping rates and shipping times are way to outragous when you order online. IMO, shipping costs are an unnecessary increase on my investment and too risky with selling windows having to rely on slow store shipments. Marvels ratio variants do not have a good, long term track record as of late either, regardless of print run. Sell ’em if ya got ’em, while you can. I will be curious to see where that book is in a 1 year later review. Make a note, Poyo.
Oh I’m sure we’ll be seeing it a year from now in some type of review.
not that i would pay $100+ (or even $20+) for it but i think that marvel rising variant is a super cool cover.
No first appearance, no significance. Like Agentpoyo said, artificial demand. Its being pumped on G+ from people that dont want to see their investment crash. This book has no value on the inside. If you have it, sell it. Do not hold. Make a nice profit and dont look back.
I pre-ordered, “Star Bastard,” when it was first announced as the title alone had me giggling a bit and the solicitation sounded promising.
I ordered two Sabrina Hughes Virgins. Wonder what the price will be when they arrive.
I have a couple of the black and white on order.
