We all hate store variants but

Is there a site that keeps track of the total store exclusives by book?

Over/under on mandalorian having more store exclusives than The Last Ronin did?

no, it would take a 5 man team working 12 hour shifts to keep up with them all, most of the big stores push out 2-5 variants a week now

Leageofcomicgeeks does ok based on community interaction. If an issue is particularly popular and anticipated, there will be plenty of community members adding variants to that database. So, it’s a decent approximation of how many variants exist for an issue.

I wonder what the record number of covers for an issue is. Star Wars #1 in 2014 had like 100 I think. It was downright nuts.

I’m somewhat dumbfounded why people would pay more for a foil copy than they would the original…

Lack of the trade dress takes away from the comic…as it does for many virgin variants. Too asymmetry/open space along the top where the trade dress would normally be.

I bet extra stock shows up on Graphiti Designs at some point for like $20 each.

I have a newsstand copy of the first print and a 3rd print.

I don’t know If I’d at $20 for it. But it is a foil. I have a hard time resisting shiny covers.

I remember picking that issue off the stands when it came out. It was the “it” comic of the week way back when,

They will show up on Graphiti if they are still doing comics, the print run on DC convention foils is 10,000 not rare at all like a team variant.

I think this probably looks great in foil, and would make a nice candidate for a Todd signature the next time he does those. Hoping Graphitti does get some extra.

D’oh!
