You can’t use a light box and swipe other artists work ?

No. I had a cartoon published for 2 years, and the first thing I bought was an electric eraser. The best I could do was my own crappy cartoon style. I think I could have light boxed a Dilbert cartoon, but that's about it. My girlfriend on the other hand can draw beautiful renditions of other people's work all freehand.

I have heard their songs since then, but I don't think they are any worse off than many other pop artists from the past. How many people are yearning for Debbie Gibson songs. She hit triple platinum, yet I know of no one looking for her music.

But what about Debbie Gibson signed comics???

Not comics, but the story of one man who borrowed a little too closely http://puckjunk.com/2019/02/06/interview-tom-dubois-blades-of-steel-box-cover-artist/

What is the precedent for such covers? Only recently got into moderns. Have past releases like this resulted in cheaper prices after the initial rush?

Detective 1000 covers> action 1000 covers by far.

It's just a big milestone for DC. It's no different than when Marvel regained the license for Star Wars which contained a metric f*** ton of variants (I lost count after 66). The main point is that if you hold off buying them when they first come out, there's a very good chance that you can get whichever variants you want for much cheaper a few months down the road after the hype has gone down. I would also point to the Dark Knight III variants. The only variants I bought for the series were the Frank Miller 1:100 covers. When they were released, those covers were going for close to $100. They've gone down steadily since the run finished. You can buy graded 9.8 copies now for less than the raw prices back then. I would recommend waiting.

Action 1000 only had a couple that increased and held value. Jim Lee Tour is still off the charts considering how new it is. Likely the same for detective 1000

@mediaslave it looks like his "awesome" TEC1k cover is about to make the news as a forgery now as well.

Probably something like 80 to 90 percent of variants that start out high end up coming down in price. The exceptions usually are the limited variants for a comic that goes up in price anyway (Gotham City Sirens 1; Edge of Spider-verse 2). And also, of course, the variants I decide to wait on to see if the price drops. Those always seem to go up.

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
Before this shit storm started I sent 45 comics off to be signed by Mattina in Italy.

By tomorrow my pressing guy should finally have the books.

Can't say there isn't any buyer's remorse on this end, but if they grade out i should be OK.
