Lucky you. Went to the store, and none left for A&B. Just C.
Re: Rai 10 error issues
This is interesting

I hope I'll find one of this interlocking set.

Re: Rai 10 error issues
I just bought whatever they put in my pull box. I'm not too picky when it comes to covers. I didn't notice the missing number until I saw this thread.nycjadie wrote:Lucky you. Went to the store, and none left for A&B. Just C.
Too bad this didn't come out last week. I got the Crain cover and could have had him draw a #10 on it at the Long Beach Comic Con last Saturday.

Re: Rai 10 error issues
Is this being a misprint going to affect the price of these books even if ALL of the a and b covers are this way?

Re: Rai 10 error issues
I noticed this today, I went with Cvr C, and it really wasn't about the missing number, I liked Sook's cover best.

Re: Rai 10 error issues
It doesn't sound like they are recalling/reprinting it, just alerting stores to the fact that there is no issue number on the cover. I don't think this problem will make them rare or valuable.

Re: Rai 10 error issues
Agreed. They're no more rare than before, and there is no corrected version to compare print runs against. There is now a curiosity/novelty factor which will increase demand to some extent. I wouldn't expect it to be a large increase... but a couple of extra dollars wouldn't be surprising.jeremycoe wrote:It doesn't sound like they are recalling/reprinting it, just alerting stores to the fact that there is no issue number on the cover.

Re: Rai 10 error issues
Agreed. I don't see any price difference in these. Honestly, even if they corrected them, the corrected versions would probably be harder to find, like the Rai mask issue.

Re: Rai 10 error issues
No intention to correct form what i read, as there were multiple covers, some of which have the issue number as normalRamses818 wrote:So no correction then?I want to make sure I don't miss anything.

Re: Rai 10 error issues
I wondered why none of them in the store didn't have issue numbers on them. I thought mine looks a bit off-kilter from the prior nine issues

Re: Rai 10 error issues
RAI is the only VEI comic that I still continue to buy every cover for. I recently took my two short boxes of Valiants to my buddy's house for storage. Cannot wait to see if I got one of these. Not Bloodshot Platinum material, but could be nifty.

I also hope that he does a massive print of all the connected covers! That would be quite something!

Re: Rai 10 error issues
I have Cvr A with no numbers. I noticed it at the LCS but just assumed it was like that on purpose to show off the cover art.
