Decrease in 1:50s
Any thoughts on the decrease in 1:50s ?
Last couple per-orders, it seems they have been decreasing and in the current per-order there is only 1,
X-O #19 which is a celebration of the 75th issue overall.

Re: Decrease in 1:50s
They were probably just fools gold anyway. I'm not jumping back in until they come up with 1:1,000 or 1:10,000. If a comic had a print run of 10,000 but 1,000 of those were 1:50s and the 1:50s had their own 1:50s (with print run of about 500) and then some of those had B variants with UPC codes I bet that would be pretty cool. They could run off a few thousand 1:20s and 1:10s to balance things.

Re: Decrease in 1:50s
I love the beautiful art they have on many of these, but every book doesnt need a 1:50. I'd rather they save 1:50 and other high variants for special books, like number 1s, important events, or first appearances of some new character.....at least those are the only ones I snag up

Re: Decrease in 1:50s
That was my first thought too when I saw the DCBS preorder. Where are all the 1:50 Variants?jaden_sai wrote:Any thoughts on the decrease in 1:50s ?

Re: Decrease in 1:50s
I'm not following. Are they not doing 1:50s for every title like they have been for the recent reboots?

Re: Decrease in 1:50s
That is correct. X-O 19 is the only one with a 1:50 variant.nycjadie wrote:I'm not following. Are they not doing 1:50s for every title like they have been for the recent reboots?

Re: Decrease in 1:50s
Could be worse I have seen 1 seller on ebay sell over 20 wolverine 19 1 to 500
Every 1000 and 2000 ratio x men books he has sold 10+of each
Almost 40 of the c 3po book
No way he ordered 20000 venom books either

I don’t know about those exact books, but when someone does a store variant, the books they buy count for the ratio variants. So if someone does a store variant with a 2,000 print run, they also get 20 1:100 ratio variants.

Re: Decrease in 1:50s
Seems like the 1:50 per title experiment didn't work. I'm glad for it. I ordered a few, but the quality of the condition of the books suffered, as did much of the artwork, or they saved the best artwork for the 1:50.

But I have never seem them sell a store variant. .and these books are supposed to extremely rare, yet he is selling these every week
Re: Decrease in 1:50s
I’m hoping they limit the 1:50s
Costing way too much
I’m wondering if they’re checking to see
How it affects their sales numbers.
Hope they cut back on the 1:250s 1:500s

Re: Decrease in 1:50s
If you guys think these are bad, I've been getting creamed trying to find the Iron Man ratio variants lately.
Seriously if you want to see some madness, check out the Iron Man #600 ratios and then the Tony Stark - Iron Man #1 ratios... LOL!

Re: Decrease in 1:50s
Glad they are cutting back they have killed me this year. I was down to missing just 1 book at the end of last year and I think I am up to 12ish now. They got impossible to find and if you can get them insanely expensive right off the bat. Kind of bums me out after being so close, maybe over time I will fill them in
