Print Runs for Fried Pie Variants?

0

Have print runs for any of the Fried Pie/BAM variants ever been released? It seems like my local store gets at least 25 of each and currently has almost 8 full long boxes of older, unsold variants. This seems like a TON of waste as they just finished their first year of making variant covers.

You can ask the fried pie twitter account about a specific book and they'll tell you.

They send e-mails to retailers with lists of their variants.

If you buy 100 of their books. ANY Variants in any combination to make 100 or more, you get them at cost.

They also give print runs.

Name a book and i'll send the numbers they sent me.

for example Star Wars Vadar 1 had a print run of 15,000 and Fried Pie still has 11,026 copies in stock.

for example Star Wars Vadar 1 had a print run of 15,000 and Fried Pie still has 11,026 copies in stock.

Smells like they fried up some Going Concern Pie.

heres a copy and paste of a few lines.

The last two numbers are - Print run / numbers available to order

The last e-mail has 5 pages of this and this is just 1/2 of a page.

Boom.

Wow. Great work. I was specifically looking for the Batman 1 Rebirth Albequerque and the Harley Quinn Babs Tarr.

And that's how many they have remaining at the warehouse that are available for order, correct? Not how many are available at retail in their stores.

And that's how many they have remaining at the warehouse that are available for order, correct? Not how many are available at retail in their stores.

Right. Its how many are left for stores to order and does not account for stock held at stores that have not sold.

Anyone can order these books not just BAM stores.

I will look up Batman rebirth #1 now. Based on the Star Wars Vadar 1 I would expect it to be around 10,000+

Looking through the emails they do not list print runs until 6 months ago.

The Batman #1 Rebirth sold out month of release but had a cover price of 10.99 and was offered to any one ordering 100 books or more at $5.04 each.

Best bet might be that twitter link.

Smells like the next Hastings...

These were available at my local 2nd & Charles for $5.99 like most of their other variants.

I sent them a Tweet on those two books. Thanks for your help.

What about the 2nC/BAM variants prior to the Fried Pies? I know the Star Wars #1 Vader cover variant (color) went for a pretty good penny once upon a time, but when they first came out they seemed plentiful as well. Also, the Descenders #1 variant are still very easy to find.

Great info/research provided in this thread!! Thanks to Comicbookscalping for providing it---

In case anyone cares:

@SonofSamIAm 3k/1500 color/b&w of Batman and 3k/2k color/b&w of Harley

When it was launched as Fried Pies Variants they started offering the books to retailers.

All variants were new variants and they never did that with the Bam/ 2nd Charles books.

WWE #1 w/ Finn Balor if you don't mind.

That just came out this week. Tweet them. They got back to me in an hour.
