It wouldn’t be hard. Especially in Portland anyone who wanted could easily get extras since the first sign ups for stores were at ComicsPro when it came here. So like every store in town is getting it.

Here’s another fun one, the “miscut home printed ashcan”:

I preordered this back in October through Midtown. They have it already processed with tracking attached- I know, really quick for Midtown! But it shows it as a 1st printing, not the ‘not first printing’, so I’m happy about that. Are they allowing people to get both the first printing and the not first printing copy or is it a strict 1 per person regardless?

Aka: first 1st prints and second 1st prints. :wink::man_shrugging:

I have two first prints coming from midtown. I made two orders and they both filled. Two shipping charges for one shipment but I’m not complaining :slight_smile:

Sweet, according to Dinesh, they should be stripped of selling Bad Idea books then…

LOL. Is Dinesh going to be auditing them? The operation doesn’t seem to be on that level

#95

But you know, it’s perfectly okay if Midtown just printed up their own bootleg copies to sell… :wink:

Yeah this whole business model doesn’t seem to be enforceable or clearly articulated. I also got multiple copies of the “not a first print” heading my way

If you DIDN’T get an email from TFAW this morning apologizing and asking if you’d still like a Not First Printing of Eniac #1, and you had it pre-ordered already, you should be good on getting a first print. Barring any surprise damages/shortages on Diamond’s behalf.

I pre-ordered this like 5 million years ago… I better get a first first print… not a not first first first print…

You know what the real Bad Idea is here? Them calling these first and not firsts… I’m gonna print up my own, can I refer them as “Not First Printing”? :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

“I” wouldn’t think so, but pretty sure CGC would be alright with it.

Anyone has an inkling to print run of the 1st?
Perhaps it was stated somewhere in a thread.

I don’t know about all of you. But I am fascinated to see see how this Bad Idea works out.

For example. What will after market prices be like?

Regardless of price. I hope these stories end up being great. Time will tell… but this is one heck of a hype machine thus far.
