Flops

The art or the character?

The store variant


I know who the character is I meant, which store

Yeah, we all know evil Cobra lady with guns! Baroness? Is that it? I don’t follow much GI Joe.

HAB #2 (OF 5) CVR D INC 1:20 FLOPS VARIANT

Equally sexy and disgusting. I like it!

Anyone read issue 1? Interesting concept, and it’s getting solid reviews.

I picked the first issue up at the store as it sounded interesting. Plan to read it and much of my big ol’ reading stack when I’m able.

Not usually a fan of black & white (although this one has more shades of gray I suppose) but something about this alternate variant I like.

I like that. Need to get some money in my account. Sales have been slim the past two weeks.

Same here. I did sell an Absolute Batman #1 Jim Lee foil for $95 on Monday.

I wouldn’t sell the variants. They have already become very scarce because of that wave of cover ripping.

I warned about this.

What’s the cover ripping story?

Define “very scarce”?

The Main/A cover was selling for so much more than the variants so people were ripping off the variant cover and selling the book that way (main cover beneath).

Look at the ratio of available 1st print A covers to the Dragotta Cover K. Night and day.

I would think that specific cover is a much more popular cover, being the foil version of A, and that is causing it to be less available as opposed to all the other “meh” covers. I would speculate it’s likely to be more people holding them for the PC or future spec
.I highly doubt people are ripping off that specific variant cover in mass given all the other variant covers available for likely less cost that most don’t even know or care about.

The same may be said about any ratio variants.

What would be interesting to see would be a breakdown of all first print card stock covers, how many are current offered for sale on eBay, and what thei average sale prices (raw) have been the past month. Then do the same 2-6 months later.

Can’t AI/Chatgpt do that for us yet?
