Ridiculous and one really know just how many weren’t destroyed. Big Batman collector here, but I’m not going to give into the hype. I'll be content with the reissue.

Wow that Variant cover is by Frank Quietly is frickin cool!

That will be the one to get.

Did you see that there are almost 300 auctions up for this book. the regular issue will be relatively cheap while the variant will probably settle at a pretty high price.

Honestly, what retailer is going to destroy these?

A LCS owner back in my hometown got about 31 issues. He had put most of them on ebay before they were recalled because of the graphic language. He only returned the copies that he considered as damaged merchandise due to bends and rips not because of the recall.

when was this? I had number 10 and sold it for cheap. Didn't know anything about this. What part of it was graphic? I don't remember any of it being offensive?

None.

Also, according to the notice that Diamond sent out they are going to be getting the new versions for free.

So they keep these books and make a killing off them (I've seen some of the Quietly versions going for over $100

).

Then they will sell us the regular versions for their regular price.

Gotta love capitalism.

I guess $100 is on the low end:

All-Star Batman Quietly variant

The non-variants are getting about $20-25 right now. I just won one for $21 tonight.

The Variant is still around $70-80 I'm hoping to get one around $50

as a retailer, i find this whole situation completely unacceptable.

the stores that did get them were able to make literally thousands of free dollars for doing nothing but putting up listings.

stores like myself 1) didn't get them in the first place, thus we lose sales and 2) we aren't getting the new copies for free

i think diamond and dc should penalize retailers who did resell these books. it's not fair to the rest of the dealers who didn't get these books. it's like sending specific stores boxes of variants and leaving the rest of us out...

I wonder how it was determined which stores got them and which didn't. Was it the earliest orders that were filled before the recall was known? You would think if the recall was known before Diamond shipped the books, that NONE of them should have been shipped.

once a retailer has paid and receved product from a dist. its all over they do not have to ever send it back unless its by their good graces

sad to see this happen but dealers that screw their base will get theirs

larger retailers who have multiple stores receive their shipments on tuesday.

small local retailer like myself get their stuff on wednesday.

needless to say, only the large retailers received them. it's not like diamond would be looking out for the little guys...

I totally agree. But I still had to get a Quitely Variant.

BTW my patience paid off.

Quitely Variant

I bid $50 on one of his auctions and didn't win it. He sent me a second chance offer.

He's got more in his store maybe he is willing to part with them for $50

It may be worth a shot if you want to get the book but not pay a ton of money for it.

To me, $50 for a brand-new comic book is a ton of money.

Me too but that's the way it is.

At least I'm not the guy who paid $170!

Plus I think when these books dry up $50 for the variant cover is a good price
