not sold out... yet...


Its not sold out on less known sites, but there are only 700 world wide; so maybe they were only allocated say 150 comics per store, or even 100 per store? Still worth buying. Most collectors that use eBay don't know about on-line comic book shops, like we do; and you can get a high turn around on your return.

I put 20 in my cart at golden apple for fun. Checked back and it cut my cart down to 4. So there must be 4 left! Almost sold out.

According to some retailers I know that have worked on variants with Marvel in the past they all say Frankie’s constantly misrepresents their print run. According to them Marvel requires a minimum of 3000 print run. Anyone here happen to know anything about that? Valid or not?

I think they destroy excess copies that are of poorer condition ( as not likely all the books are nm) ... But no way to know if this is true...

When they sent me a damaged book once they sent me a new one, but I had to remove the cover from the damaged one and send them a photo before they would send the replacement .

Yeah, that is false. If Frankie's lies about how many they have then so do all the other comic shop retailers. Frankie's Comics is legit as they get. @Wraith is right. They destroy all copies past the marked limited number. They then have to return the damaged or unused copies after they fulfilled their allotted amount. Normally, comic shops are only given a small amount out of the entire amount printed (limited print runs).

Are all 700 (or 3000) bought by flippers to be sold to other flippers? Is it simply a pyramid scheme where the fastest finger in the West wins??

Well as long as there is a market the reprints and variants will continue to be produced. And hey, were I a fast furious fickle fingered flipper I'd be right there in the mix. It's a legitimate way to bang a buck and I'm all for free enterprise, capitalism, apple pie and all that jazz.

It's similar to the earlier action comics/AMS15 multiple reprint issues which I've collected a whole batch of over the years. And yup I'll eventually sell most of them off keeping a nice one for my collection.
