Blind Bags

Since this seems like the inevitable next popular trend in our industry, I figured we could start a new ongoing thread for all things blind bags. The popularity of the Battle Beast blind bags pretty much guarantees we’ll see more and more of this.

Batman #1 seems to be doing this. But, from what I can see, the only books you can get in there are the foil versions of the other covers. Right? Kind of a bummer that they aren’t putting in actual incentive variants. There are foil versions of the incentives, but they aren’t actual incentives. Although, a foil version of the Aja would be cool.

These blind bags need to go the route of sports cards and drop a 1:1 sketch cover or 1:100 books signed by Fraction. Then you’re really gambling for the big payoff. Sales will go way up.

Agreed 100%.
Folks cant contain themselves.

Each Batman Blind Bag will include one foil variant cover version of Batman #1, selected at random, and drawn by the following superstar artists:
· Jorge Jiménez
· Andy Kubert
· David Aja
· Frank Quitely
· Gabriele Dell’Otto
· J. Scott Campbell
· Jim Lee
· Julian Totino Tedesco
· Marc Silvestri
· Stanley “Artgerm” Lau (front cover only)
· Jim Lee (Alternate Foil Version) 1:500
· Jorge Jiménez (Alternate Foil Version) 1:1000

Alternate foil versions of Jim Lee’s and Jorge Jiménez’s covers will be randomly inserted as chase 1:500 and 1:1000 ratio variants, respectively.

Yup. Still have some unopened blind bag Harley’s. At least the spine ticks came at cover price.

OK, so at least there will be some low print number books in the Batman mix to chase. The open order books are $4.99. Charging $9.99 for the blind bags to get the foil variants seems awfully expensive, but that’s not new.

If you want a foil, best to just wait and buy one on eBay after people rip open packs and realize they didn’t get the cover they wanted.

I think these were sort of a German exclusive blind bag limited run thing. Pic found online. Not mine.
