Split on Delinquents Sketch cover glossy vs matte

Post by kjjohanson »

Does anyone know the proportions of glossy to matte covers for the Delinquents #1 sketch cover?
If you're not a *SQUEE*, you're okay with me.

I didn't even know this was a thing. I checked my copies and saw the difference. My guess is the glossy was crap to draw on so they redid it in matte.

Yeah, that's what my LCS said at the time. I think you needed to request the replacements, so there is a chance there are fewer of those out there.

That's what I'm curious about. Looks like the glossy are tougher in regards to condition because the spines can get dinged easier
