Just called after I saw this and they still have my copy. They said another guy asked for them to hold it and he hasn't gotten it so I can grab it if I want 2 copies. They said they only got 3 copies and they were all called for before the shipment even came.


I see you're in ct. Which store was that (hrtfd, brideprt, wtrfd)so I know not to waste my time.

For a book that came out last week with a ~100k print run, this is crazy.

I am BN now. They have 3 copies of Batman 24 but they all have spine stress. I think I should pass.

even with spine stress, I bet people will still pay a premium for it.

I bought a meat grinder on amazon for $60 and it's changed my life. kaptainmyke private msg quote post Address this user
The books are so flimsy and the paper is thin, so it's impossible to not have spine stress on these. I noticed after the fact even mine have minor spine stress but no color breaks. I believe out of all variants, all versions, the $3.99 price variant Newsstand Editions will be worth significantly more over time because look at how many are on ebay going for high prices and they are all $2.99 direct editions.

I will pass on 2nd and 3rd print. The only time I've ever seen a 5th printing go nuts is 1992 DC Comics SUPERMAN: THE MAN OF STEEL #18. I have a high grade one I sent off for signing with Matt.

It was a tough call. 1 of them would press nicely but the other 2 broke color. I will check another one tomorrow. I at least have 1 in my pull bon at my lcs.

Yep, they are, and they are selling for about the same price, too.

What's the difference in the 3.99 vs the 2.99 price ok but other than that?

I am not chasing the extra printings, solely because they added the lame word bubble. "Marry me." Come on, at least finish it off with "I'm Batman." to complete the cheese factor.

@Grayspeedster I hit up both Ajs and sarges but don't buy moderns very often. colchester is a bit out of my way, but sarges seems to run out of hot issues jbefore I can get there or what's left isn't in the best of shape...I find they don't take the best care of new issues.

The Waterford BAM was where I was checking...won't bother now that I know they're spoken for. Was able to get one of each direct edition covers anyway. They just weren't 9.8 candidates...may not even be 9.6.

2nd printings are usually just color shifts, at least they added something unique. I'm digging the 3rd printing sketch version though.

How long before the first ones start showing up? I'm guessing 9.8s get $100 the first week. First one on eBay might get $150 if there's no competition and its bin.

Agree with @Drogio, I can totally see BIN @ $99.99.

5% distribution to only 2 chain bookstores, B&N and BAM

And a lot of them are dented or spine ticks from being on the magazine newsstand too

I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for. drchaos private msg quote post Address this user

There is a CBCS 9.8 up on ebay for $299. Must have done on site grading at Heroes.

@kaptainmyke are B&N and BAM the only stores that sell modern newsstand issues?
