MCS ended their listing for A. They must see the spec value
No cause we probably bought early enough

Might not be at that point now, but the scales tip quickly and then it trends. It takes time for organic sell outs at the shops. And don’t forget, there’s many that don’t have a shop to go to in person. Tons of people don’t have access to physical shop.

That’s true…most of us tend to be on this stuff. Will be interesting to see where it falls after the weekend and such. I’m just genuinely curious…I hope it doesn’t come across as being argumentative. Not my intent whatsoever.

It’s on their website now for $6.99.
Over at Midtown, the Panosian variant and Jim Lee foil are no longer available. Every other cover is still there at cover price with no stated limit.
Edit to add: I checked several other online shops and most open order (non exclusive) covers are sold out, especially the 1A. It does appear this book is doing well.
I believe the term was “will be” in dollar bins.
“Are” insinuates they have no value currently. It’s very possible demand may outweigh supply in the early going.
Eventually all the speculators and shops holding back copies being them out, there’s still books in shipment, whether it be to shops or customers…subsequent printings and TPB show up….etc.
That’s what people need to be considering as a possibility.
To each their own. I’m not a a high stakes gambler, personally.

I did. But my shop doesn’t order more than one or two shelf copies, or limit new purchases. Someone could have easily called up and said “give me all you got”. Such behavior just feeds into the FOMO aspect.
I’ll call in a bit and find out, though. It was odd.

Ok. Sold out. Guy was kind of a jerk to me.
“I don’t know how many I ordered or when it sold out. I don’t have any.”
I was very polite about it.
Lol. I guess maybe he got a few other calling about it perhaps…? He just wanted me off the phone.

I picked up three. One to keep. Listed one now slightly above going rate. Will list the other one based on how prices go.

Supply is drying up. I talked with my one shop and he said he was shocked it only took a day to sell 75 copies he ordered for the wall. He was worried he’d gone too heavy on it!
I went to the 2 biggest shops in my city today looking for more Abs Batman. The shop that had 200+ copies and all variants on Wednesday when I got there were down to 2As, I scooped them up. Went to the other shop and they were sold out. Customers were walking in asking for it and the shop owner said he had no idea so many people wanted it.
It’s officially time to panic.
You know what could get REALY interesting is the Frank Miller variant. As he’ll be at NYCC, however his signature window may be tight.
As awful as the NYCC exclusive is, I can see that book selling out for people trying to capitalize on him also being there for witnessed signatures.
