I often see blanks slabbed. With no art on them. This confuses me profoundly.

It seems like it’s a little safer if you want to submit for a SS sketch. You don’t want to end up with a 9.6. Otherwise, you’d want to submit enough books for 9.8 pre-screening, which has a minimum
Wow…what originality…

These Marvel later prints are such greed. Throw junk out there with repurposed art to see if people preorder. If preorders aren’t high enough, they just cancel. Want retailers to chase these 1:25s. Trash moves by Marvel.

I remember when stores would maybe get a couple. That simply will not do anymore. No wonder why retailers want so much for the incentives
Can we blame Marvel though? I think the real problem lies within the collectors and consumers along with the retailers chasing ratio incentives themselves. We created this monster so Marvel is just doing/following suit what we the consumers demanded in a sense…
It’s like SPAM, to get spammers to quit spamming us, stop opening, reading and clicking on spam that hits your inbox.
Occam’s Razor is the right approach here… the simplest solution is the likely best solution! If everyone stops buying these and chasing the ratio incentives, then we give them no reason to keep doing it.

It’s easy to sell crack to kids. Just cause you can do something, it doesn’t mean you should

D.A.R.E. told me drug dealers would be popping-up everywhere trying to give me free drugs. Didn’t quite happen.

Maybe just a taste to get you hooked. Why do think there’s a fcbd
Lolol, Bitterbaum rules
Well, one is illegal while the other isn’t… last time I checked buying comics won’t potentially kill you! 
And it still falls on the buyer… if people stopped buying and smoking crack, there wouldn’t be any crack dealers…
Disney ruined Marvel and suppresses comic prices indirectly IMO. Disney needs to sell Marvel.
