WTB Quarantine Studios Bloodshot BLACK shirt variant
Okay, so, just like with the CGC 10 Bloodshot #0 GOLD, I know the odds are seriously NOT in my favor here. However, UNlike with the lone CGC 10 copy, there's actually two BLACK shirt variants of the statue. Be that as it may, I know one belongs to Dinesh, and I'd lay odds he ain't partin' with it anytime soon
. So, that leaves the lucky winner of the "other" one whose name is "Michael Botticelli". I've asked this before, but is he a boardie here
? I assume not, since he's not only not reached out to me already, but also not posted ANYthing about winning ANYwhere that I could find. Just a guess, but I'm also pretty sure he's not this guy:

Sooooo, back to it: if ANYone knows how I can get in touch with this cat to see if we can work out a deal on the BLACK shirt statue, that'd be total sweetness
. PLEASE hit me up if you do
.
Thanks in advance,
-B

Re: WTB Quarantine Studios Bloodshot BLACK shirt variant
Just a wild guess, no proof. But this guy is an IT professional who has Star Wars pictures of the Millennium Falcon from the "Force Awakens" all over his page. A quick look at his profile indicates a number of proxy-indicators that all but scream "geek" and significantly increase the potential of this being him.
I could be wrong, and might well be. However, I do this *SQUEE* for a living.

Re: WTB Quarantine Studios Bloodshot BLACK shirt variant
have you contacted Quarantine and ask if they would contact this guy about allowing them to give you his info? if a sale happens, specially for a price higher (I assume Significantly) than the regular price, it is in Quarantine 's huge benefit for that info to be made known, go give them an aura of secondary market value.

And, just to clarify: I agree with you COMPLETELY from a business stand-point. However, I don't know why, but somehow I feel like Quarantine might go all "client confidentiality" on me for some reason

Yeah, right? You'd think with him havin' the same name and all, odds'd be pretty high it's him, right? But if it IS him, and he's that much of a die-hard Valiant fan, don't you think he'd at least make a "minor" tweet about winnin' that *SQUEE*in' statuedepluto wrote:This guy tweets about Valiant.

but all you are asking is for them to give your info to the guy.

Re: WTB Quarantine Studios Bloodshot BLACK shirt variant
I am coonfussed.
Didn't Dinesh state publicly on the boards that Quarantine studios a had no permission to promote or qive away the black statue giveaway.
Valiant saw it as an unfair advantage to the manufacture to draw sales to itself, above those of the normal comic retailer via Diamond.
Just asking, as I may have missed something.
If it is out their, good luck on the hunt.

However, based on the photos of a Black-Shirt statue, and companies announcement of the winner, it very much appears that Quarantine did whatever they wanted to do anyhow.
So, now not only is there a Black-Shirt variant, but it's ALSO completely rouge and unauthorized, which officially makes it quite "gangster" to a few of us here.

Re: WTB Quarantine Studios Bloodshot BLACK shirt variant
Cool.
My memory is still good
Understand the chase.
Wonder if this will sever ties with Quarantine Studios?
I would not continue business with someone who blatantly ignored the agreement ~ saying that, money and profit helps me tolerate *SQUEE* in business I would not put up with.

Re: WTB Quarantine Studios Bloodshot BLACK shirt variant
Cheap option, go on ebay ~ GiJoe or Ken barbie clothes.
You could have a whole fashion parade with different outfits ~ not just a black shirt.

How about buying 2 white shirts and painting one? If you do it right it would be undistinguishable form the real thing.

Certainly a viable option, and no doubt a whole lot cheaper...but still not the "real" thing.Magnus9178 wrote:How about buying 2 white shirts and painting one? If you do it right it would be undistinguishable form the real thing.
Goes without sayin' I couldn't paint my way out of a wet paper bag that's open on both ends, either
