We all hate store variants but

They have pulled back grads in the past.

Here’s comes Gem Mint justifying what happened :rofl:

They remove the books from their census so if you look up the serial number it is like it is a fake or no-grade.

This is why convention booths should limit to 1 per customer on exclusives and not be allowed to sell anything until the convention floor is actually open. If a retailer wants a copy, they get to stand in line with the rest of us to get their copy instead of having others gobble up copies for them to jack the price up at the same convention 30 minutes later.

I’m so done with convention exclusives myself. This isn’t anything new, saw this same bullshit at the last NYCC I attended, where retailers who had floor access before the general public were buying up all the exclusives and then raising the prices before the general public could get a copy themselves.

Buy what you like but I’m done with convention exclusives (that’s if I ever make it back to another convention).

Sorry but his excuses do not float.

“Not sure I they owned the plates and reprinted them themselves or if they added the covers”
Yeah, they do not “own the plates”

“If they skipped in line that is between them and the person who let them skip”

“They took huge financial risks”

“No one talk about the losses we take”

“Come on man this is a business, what happened if they missed out on the sales, its a business”
But you already said they sold the cover previously


Come on, none of that is the real problem,

And if its true that they just stapled on a plastic cover on an old book then I really dont get why people want it.

I know nothing about that book or much at all about those people but aside from what people are saying about them what is the appeal of the book itself? Just that it’s Clayton crain and 750 copies?

The books are selling briskly on ebay for about $200-300 and the CGC 9.9 posting has also ended.

Because there’s a lot of people on eBay who spend their money in really stupid ways

And if the buyers decide to open cases for “fraudulent items” the sellers could be in serious trouble

What I want to know is what “exclusive” producer is going to have the b@lls to try to blow out unsold inventory by slapping a wrap on it next.

Looking at you TCM


I just asked @Anthony if he had any boxes of old CHU exclusives lying around we could do the same thing with
 haha
 I’m sure Anthony would love some new Jeep accessories while I could use a new bucket, maybe one with an actual seat and lid on it

Hilarious watching the majority of these clowns attempt damage control. Backtracking, stories don’t mesh with reality. It’s pretty simple, have a basic moral compass and understand the difference between right and wrong. All the rest of the talk is just smoke and mirrors trying to get folks to steer clear of the facts of the matter.

Everyone knows that this shady stuff goes on, but when you flaunt that shady stuff right in front of folks and rub their noses in it
well
this is the result.

Don’t you think the controversy around this will only increase the demand for it? This looks hideous IMO, and even if it was a legit Marvel product, I don’t think I’d pay $5 for it. But, if people think they can take advantage of a this and make a few bucks, they surely will.

When it comes to making money, most people’s morals are thrown out the window
 so let them do what they want, there’s no stopping them to be honest but I myself, my moral compass would tell me to skip and move on (which I do most of the time).
