Was able to snag 10 magiks at an online shop last week and 5 copies of the storm for cover on eBay today. Preordered like 42 copies of the momomo rivals cover based on someone’s suggestion on these boards. Hope that pays off.

I buy 4 copies of a book and panic about being stuck with them. You are far braver than I am. But, I think that’s a pretty safe gamble.

We’ll see how it goes. It’s the most copies I’ve ever preordered. I figured some would get cancelled, so if I end up receiving them all, it may not be a good thing. I hope so. My sales
Have slowed tremendously since the week after Christmas. Even hot books aren’t really hot anymore. Ugh

High roller!
That one could be a big hit, or a big bust. It’s not like the others in style, plus the characters/skins have other books to choose from…Jeff interested is down from the high.
The good news is it’s been sold out everywhere for weeks…and Midtown’s supply at limit one was gone within a few hours.
So I think odds are in your favor at the moment…

For those individuals that are (or become fans of) Galacta…there are very few options available in terms of comics so that can also help this one out.
Not to mention those few options are hard as heck to find and expensive.

Went back and recounted this morning. I’m in for 50 copies exactly. Man I sure hope it pans out. The way I look at it, if I can sell about 15 copies for the going rate of the current rivals variants, I’ll break even. Then it’s all gravy. Again, never gone so heavy in a book before and am pretty confident that wise case scenario, I’d break even.

The LCS I thought would have the Storm rivals said diamond only shipped a few books…none of which lowered ultimate Wolverine or storm 4.
I always allow offers, but I put a minimum offer amount that’s usually around 80-90% of my asking price. I got an offer for $30 for the Storm cover. I’m going to give it the day to see if someone grabs it, but I’ll probably take that offer.
Just my opinion, but I’d move the Rivals stuff as quickly as possible. This has short-term interest written all over it.

The more I see people saying “Rivals is a flash in the pan” the more I want to hold my copies.

the 1st apps of the characters is the real spec, the rival covers are quick flips

Yeah, let me just go buy a bunch of 1st app of Spider-Man! BRB
His first appearance isn’t even a Spider-Man comic. Some kind of Amazing Fantasy 15. Dollar bin fodder I tell ya.

A man that’s also a spider? Lame. There’s no way that will stick around.

Good luck and like Anthony said, “big risk, big reward.” Carpe diem.
Are they moving again?
Had some interest in my Rogues Gallery #1 Flops variants. They have been sitting for a while and got a bunch of likes on Mercari and two sold on eBay.

Not a ton have sold, but my listing got a lot of traffic and watches lately. I’m sure season 2 is drumming up new interest.
Glad to hear that your books sold. Still waiting on mine to move.
