We all hate store variants but

I ironically have not heard back from The Haul. Glad I put in the dispute when I contacted them as I would still be waiting.

I know he did a little rant about shipping in the Facebook group… and it doesn’t like he has any blame/fault since it looks like major shipping damages. I’m just really glad the collectors are being taken care of.

I’ll definitely support them more going forward if they’re willing to go the extra mile for us.

Should be no problem winning your case against Haul. If they dont respond (which is a given), they lose. But I wonder if they can somehow blacklist you for later offerings?

Doesn’t matter if they black list me as I have never gotten a NM comic from them in the mail. They can put me on the list. Will only buy from them at con’s if I can inspect the books.

So you just keep on punishing yourself by ordering from them… Haha!

Nope. I am done now. This was the straw. Lol. Did sell the Wonder Woman Variant to help recoup my cost so in the end I guess I still make a profit.

Frankie’s Comics Star Wars Crimson Reign #3 Larroca Black Krrsantan Virgin

Taking a page out of Unknown Comics playbook…going for the cheapie Virgin variant of an open order cover.

Nice plays Frankie’s.

Normally these go nowhere…although Thanos 15 4th print did ok…although the trade dress proved to be a better ROI in the end for $3.99.

And you never know with Star Wars books. Do we think these virgins are min 1000 or 3000 print run?

I’m just assuming 3,000 because I haven’t seen another CR3 cover from them.

I’m a sucker and I bought it.

I wouldn’t think the same rules applies given it’s not ā€œnewā€ art…maybe they still have to order 3000 of the trade?

If it is true, there’s likely more Virgin exclusives of Thanos 15 4th print floating around than the trade dress…

I have no idea what the rules are regarding ā€œnewā€ vs ā€œoldā€ art.

That theory makes sense though.

@SpideyHunter516 is being ruthless.

I mean, we all know WHY…

I seem to remember Hive Comics saying that because they used the same art with a very minor tweak for something, they didn’t need to order the minimum 3k print run. Can’t remember what the book in question was.

thats horrible

I’m a push over for x-men 268 homages.

Although i did sell my Exiles #3 for a nice penny a few months ago…hoping to buy it back.

What I like here is actually Gwen and Silk as alternate characters. But he didn’t do a good job with the wolverine costume. Looks nothing like issue 268. Disappointed.

I would say first cover Silk Widow that could be a future Silkverse character if anyone would care after the onslaught if What if Miles and Gwenverse.

Silk-verse!

If it comes to that, marvel has officially jumped the shark with ā€œversesā€ā€¦I feel like they already have…but obviously people are still buying this crap.
