Menace Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Hi guy and gals! I have, at the prompting of board members, got in touch with one of my contacts at the CBLDF. I figured we could earn a lot more money for the CBLDF so I will be starting a sales thread for these books in the Modern Comics Sales area. They will be selling for $30 each there starting in a few minutes. I have a guarantee that I can come by during set-up and choose my copies so they will hopefully all be minty fresh.

This is a great idea! I wonder if these will come close to the Thought Bubble in value or be less as they can technically considered a 2nd print.

No, these are readily available (yes, i know its /500, but they'll be handled with kid gloves). one boardie is selling over 200 of them alone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wushugushu Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) Thread has only been open for a couple hours so Im sure it will hit at least 200 soon Hopefully it wont be a problem for him Edited February 17, 2013 by wushugushu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebtorres Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Thread has only been open for a couple hours so Im sure it will hit at least 200 soon Hopefully it wont be a problem for him Let's hope not! I'm sure Menace knows what he's doing though. It makes sense for CBLDF to part with even half of the 500 copies this way. They're guaranteed extra money ($10 extra I believe) for each book than what they would get selling at the con. Should they part with all 500 copies like this? No, because imo they need to have some for the event, but pre-selling 200-250 copies this way makes business sense to me. (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menace Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I think we will be ok! Once we hit 200 I will post a holder position and contact Charles again to make sure we are good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krighton Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) con variant's haven't really been considered 2nd printings in the past. I've never seen anyone advertise a con cover as a 2nd printing. Edited February 17, 2013 by krighton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I like pie Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 My only concern would be them upping the print like they did for the Bedlam NYCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krighton Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) that's the only reason I wasn't wanting too many sold beforehand...just in case it pushed them to print more. Once they submit a number they should never increase the print run for these con editions...jmo. Edited February 17, 2013 by krighton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThoseBackPages Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 just like pre-sales orders, it leads to more being printed then originally intended Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krighton Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) guess we'll see....but nowhere men can handle it a heck of a lot better than Bedlam. A lot of people that couldn't get the Thought Bubble will now switch to this one. Edited February 17, 2013 by krighton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menace Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 just like pre-sales orders, it leads to more being printed then originally intended I can not speak to this point, I originally thought it was 1,000 but I doubt they can be printed and delivered before Friday next week.
