In fact, I didn’t get JTC’d… I got Mayhew’d in a different way than drunkwooky. I ordered 4 from one of the retailers selling them and 3 of them showed up in VF condition at best (this is the Mayhew’d part… any Mayhew variant I ever received had arrived in shitty condition). The retailer agreed to replace those 3 and I didn’t need to send the damaged ones back. That left me with 7 copies… albeit 3 of them were in VF or worse condition. The other 4 were probably 9.2 at best.
I don’t think he bags and boards then quick enough when he receives them and the ink rubs against the other books. There are videos of him pulling books raw out of boxes.
I think the consciousness is the easy part. The physical vessel seems to be the hard part. I mean, Palps must have transferred his consciousness as he was falling down the reactor shaft.
Both covers are sold out at the distributor, and there aren’t many out in the wild for cover price. I’m thinking with the $7.99 price tag it wasn’t a heavily ordered book. Hoping this one continues to rise as it has a wealth of first appearances in it.
Glad I ordered the SW HR 2 from you when you brought it to our attention. Do you see more growth for SW HR 7. I see some $10 listings on Ebay, but it seems to have a high print run. Maybe a long term hold ?
I always liked 7 and 8, for the first appearances. I believe the wooky had mentioned the characters were pretty important at the time (we sold a lot of those variant packages).
SWHR 7 88,986
SWHR 7 2nd Print (Darth Krall on the cover) 14,235 - the 14,235 is combining August (7,323) and September (6,852) numbers for the 2nd print. It’s very possible that some of these are for reorders of the fist print.
For perspective: Darth Vader # 1 2015 (First appearance of Krrsantan) shows 315,578
I personally think the 2nd print has Venom 3 3rd print potential.
