I'm not touching this because the story will be garbage and will be reversed shortly after.

If you plan to gamble, be ready to flip quick.

I agree. I am not sure if it's even worth the risk to flip.

I've had that book on my list for some time now. I've never seen one in a shop.

Its one of my favorites. I bought mine the day it came out for less than $10 and I also have the GL/Batman action figure like the one below.

Anyway, I pulled my copy to bring to Wizard Comic Con (Ethan Van Sciver will be signing), but put it back in the long box after seeing the auction posted before. (I only get doubles and books worth less than $10 signed.)

CGC will be at the con so it might be possible to get a validated signature, but I’m not into slabbed books and I don’t think my copy is better than a 9.2.

I’ve been reading the GL titles since Rebirth—great stuff—but why two copies?

Nice, I wish I had multiples of the early run. I was buying the variants for awhile, but as money got a little tighter I had to stop—think my last incentive variant was #25.

But indeed, Rebirth made me a GL fan. Before Rebirth the only GL books I liked were Adams/O’Neil run and the ‘80s Emerald Dawns—Emerald Twilight and Parallax were cool too.

I have the Absolute Green Lantern Rebirth HC—that will be brought to Wizard Comic Con and I’m hoping for more than a signature. Do you know if Van Sciver does sketches and what he may charge?

Looks like the fanfare with Morning Glories has died down. Copies of the last two issues still available at my LCS.

So, you guys are saying I should pick this one up since it's all over the place here, for about 5 bucks? :twisted:

Well, you know, if I was to sell anything other than the two Valiant variants I've already got up on the 'bay, it'd be my copy of THIS, if I got it cgc'd and had a reader copy to keep:

I have started a horde of this particular issue. I have three so far which I picked up for $10 a piece a few years ago. :)

They have a Batman Sinestro figure out now. Its not as nice as this Green Lantern Batman though IMO.

I just sold a TWD 33 2nd print for $29.95 plus shipping. It's the blue cover.

I've noticed color cover variants as well as cover variants of TWD do well a few years down the line.

For that reason, I snatched up a few more TWD #50 2nd print variants. I sold a few of these in the past for $10. Currently, there are a few still on ebay for $2.99.

The pattern with these TWD color and cover variants seems to be that they are common at first and then they are damn near impossible to find.

TWD 33 is one of my favorite issues anyway. I stocked up on the first print, but the second print is the toughie to find.
