Yet I never hear any GA people call the Nov copies "2nd prints" lol.

You know what I meant There weren't many 2nd prints from 1939 - 1970ish? Let's say in the last 45 years, have any 2nd prints outnumbered their 1st print?

The only book that MIGHT fit that criteria is Zap #1. There's still quite a bit of speculation as to how many copies of the 1st print were actually made

But your point is valid. Second prints are most often less than 1st prints

So many Printings now. Which Print is the best for long-hold? 2nd Print? 3rd Print?

I've never heard of second printings being more valuable than first printings solely because of the size of the print run. Generally first printings are always the more sought after. The exceptions to this are typically when the second printing displays a variant cover art which becomes more sought after because of it's awesomeness. A perfect example of this is Batman #608 which the second printing of had a new Jim Lee cover which become iconic.

By the way, I have never heard of this book you guys are talking about. What's it about?

@DarthLego essentially it is about two dirty cops who are on the take, but obviously there is more to it than that.

TWD #100 2nd Print is just Negan on the cover, not really "awesome" per se, but that's what buyers have been buying and that 2nd Print is what rose as the "must have" TWD #100.

Monstress #1 2nd Print is also priced/valued higher, but the art is not so much greater in 'awesomeness' to the regular cover.

The Fix has multiple Prints and almost each Print Run offers a different take on the cover. I wonder which one will be higher-priced in the long run.

TWD #100 makes sense because it's his first appearance, people want him on the cover more than anything else.

I looked at The Fix covers, and I don't see anything about the 2nd and 3rd print covers that would make them more desirable than the 1st.

I haven't followed basketball in forever so I could be wrong, but haven't there been a lot of Finals that have gone all 7 games? Seemed like an intentional money grab to me.

But this recently-concluded 2016 NBA Finals was a Game 7 of epic game-fixing theory proportions.
GSW up 3-1, and CLE roars back, never has a team done that, they were the first. Doesn't help that the most hated superstar in history (LeBron) is on that team that came back from 1-3 down (he's very good, but gets a lot of crap compared to all the other great players).

Wasn't he retiring? Of course they were gonna win in his retirment year. You can't buy that kind of press. So yeah, it's probably just as rigged as pro wrestling nowadays.

No man, he's only 32, still a good 8 years of Pro Ball. Kobe was the one who retired.

Too many times it seemed as though Cleveland was piggyback riding all over GS, but GS was constantly being called for ticky-tack penalties.

Ah well.
