Comic Speculation Tips

yy to get ahead of the comic game. Starting a new line of inquir

Nice—planting flags early! If you’re aiming to get ahead in the comic game, here’s your starter pack of sharp angles to explore:

### 🧠 1. **Speculation Strategies**
– **Track Print Runs** – Scarcity drives value. Learn how to sniff out *low print* or *store-exclusive* variants.
– **1:25 / 1:100 / 1:200 Ratios** – High-ratio incentive variants are hot—especially if the artist has heat.
– **Foil / Virgin / Error Prints** – These oddballs can moon if demand meets novelty.
– **Movie/TV Heat** – Marvel/Disney/Prime rumors? Buy before the trailer hits.

### 📈 2. **Market Pulse**
– Use sites like:
– **Key Collector Comics** (app) – Spec alerts, hot keys, trending titles.
– **Cover Price** – Sales tracking, variant value trends.
– **GoCollect** – Good for slabbed book values.

### 🎨 3. **Creators to Watch**
– Track the *rising stars* in cover art and writing. If a small publisher or indie writer breaks out, their early works explode in value.
– Focus on *limited-run creators*—folks like Peach Momoko, Zoë Thorogood, or emerging manga crossovers.

### 🔥 4. **Upcoming Heaters (Watchlist Ideas)**
– **Marvel Knights relaunch**
– **Foil variants from DC’s Absolute line**
– **Whatever Black Mask or DSTLRY drops next**
– **Batman #1 (2025)** and what foil variants might be secret chase items.

### 📦 5. **Distribution and Retailer Intel**
– Get friendly with a LCS owner or retailer forums—they often know before anyone what’s *allocated*, *delayed*, or getting *stealth foil drops*.
– Learn Diamond vs Lunar vs Penguin distro quirks. That stuff can signal scarcity.

Wanna go deeper on any of those—print run sleuthing, creator tracking, flipping cycles, or exclusive variant hunting? Or are you planning to *create* a comic line and play the long game? Either route, I got tools for the job.
I got a slightly different angle explained in this draft letter: Subject: Inquiry About Resale or Drop Shipping Opportunities

Hi Nathan (or Team Szerdy),

I hope you’re doing well! I’m a big fan of your artwork and have been following your exclusive comic covers and CGC Signature Series releases with great interest.

I wanted to ask if you currently offer or would consider offering a reseller or drop shipping program for your signed and graded comics. I’ve noticed some of your CGC 9.8 Signature Series books listed on platforms like eBay, and I’m curious if those sellers are officially partnered with you or if you’re open to working with others in a similar capacity.

I’d love to help promote and distribute your work through online marketplaces while ensuring your brand and presentation are respected. If this is something you’re open to discussing, I’d be happy to provide more details about how I’d approach it.

Thanks so much for your time, and keep up the amazing work!

That’s a solid draft—professional, respectful, and clear. But if you want to tighten it up, add just a touch more business acumen, and stand out from the usual “fan inquiry,” here’s a slightly refined version that keeps your tone but nudges it into “strategic partnership” territory:

**Subject: Inquiry: Reseller or Drop Shipping Partnership Opportunity**

Hi Nathan (or Team Szerdy),

Hope all is well! I’ve been a long-time admirer of your cover work—your Signature Series books in particular continue to raise the bar for exclusives and collector appeal.

I wanted to reach out to see if you currently offer, or would be open to discussing, a reseller or drop shipping arrangement for your signed and graded comics. I’ve noticed some CGC 9.8 Signature Series slabs popping up on platforms like eBay and was curious whether those sellers are officially partnered with you—or if there might be room to collaborate.

My goal would be to help expand your reach through curated online sales channels, with a strong focus on preserving the premium presentation and integrity of your brand. If this is something you’re open to exploring, I’d be happy to outline how I’d structure listings, shipping, and promotion to align with your standards.

Thanks for your time—and for continuing to create such incredible work.

I need to add at this, or at the very least, let me change the shipping address, as this would be the less intrusive method.
Perfect. Here’s an updated version of the letter with your added point about changing the shipping address—framed as a softer, fallback option if a full reseller/dropship arrangement isn’t possible:

My goal is to help expand your reach through curated online marketplaces while keeping the integrity of your brand front and center. If a formal dropshipping/reseller setup isn’t feasible at the moment, would it be possible to simply allow for a custom shipping address? That small change would allow me to handle fulfillment discreetly and still promote your work respectfully.

If this is something you’d consider, I’d be happy to share how I’d structure listings and ensure your presentation is upheld.

BATMAN/CATWOMAN #1

Ah, **BATMAN/CATWOMAN #1** — here’s the quick breakdown:

### 📘 **Title:** *Batman/Catwoman #1*
**Publisher:** DC Comics
**Release Date:** December 1, 2020
**Writer:** Tom King
**Artist:** Clay Mann
**Cover Price:** $4.99

### 🧵 **Series Overview:**
This is a 12-issue Black Label limited series meant to wrap up Tom King’s long Batman run that ended with issue #85. It explores Bruce and Selina’s relationship across **three timelines**—past, present, and future. Think romance, revenge, and time-hopping emotional carnage.

### 🔥 Notable Points:
– **First appearance of Helena Wayne as Batwoman** (in-continuity-ish).
– Multiple variant covers—including ones by Jim Lee, Travis Charest, and Clay Mann.
– Black Label = slightly more mature tone, though still very much “mainline DC.”

### 💰 Spec/Collectability:
– The #1 issue had a decent print run and multiple variant covers.
– **Jim Lee variant** and **Clay Mann virgin variants** are favorites for slabs.
– Long-term value? Probably moderate unless Helena Wayne gets picked up in media or DC doubles down on her.

Supergirl #2 Ivan Talavera Virgin Variant And Foil Set

iturn0image0

Here’s a primo look at the **Supergirl #2 Ivan Talavera Trade Dress, Virgin & Foil Variant Set (LTD 1000)**—a collectible triple-threat piece that’s been grabbing attention.

## 📘 Key Facts & Specs
– **Series & Artist:** *Supergirl* #2, art by Ivan Talavera (with main interiors by Sophie Campbell) citeturn0search1turn0search6
– **Variant Set Breakdown:**
– Trade Dress variant (print run ~3,000)
– Virgin variant (≤1,000)
– Virgin Foil variant (≤1,000) citeturn0search0turn0search4turn0search8
– **Estimated Values:**
– Full 3‑book set listed around **$59.99** on The 616 Comics site (retail ~$90) citeturn0search4turn0search11.
– Standalone foil variant often priced at **$35–40**, while complete sets fetch closer to **$55–60** on eBay and similar marketplaces citeturn0search8turn0search5.

## 🎯 Investment & Collectability Spot On?
– **Scarcity Factor:** Only 1,000 foil copies—scarcity boosts collectability.
– **Artist Hype:** Talavera’s covers are killing the visual game in digital and print, attracting strong spec interest.
– **Set Versus Standalone:** The full trio adds value as a collectible package. The foil is demand‑heavy alone, but the set provides aesthetic and speculative depth.

## 🗣 Community Tone & Foil Reality Check
Collectors are split on foil:
> “Foil covers can be really nice…” but many say they “tend to mess with the colors… and don’t photograph well” citeturn0reddit13turn0reddit15.

So: foil variants often polarize—great for display, trickier for digital resale or slab listings.

## 📊 Price Comparison (as of June 2025)
| Variant Type | Print Run | Price Range (estimate) |
|————————|———–|——————————-|
| Full Set (Trade + Virgin + Foil) | Trade ~3,000, Virgin/Foil ≤1,000 | ~$55–60 (retail ~$90) |
| Virgin Foil Variant | ≤1,000 | ~$35–40 |
| Virgin Variant Only | ≤1,000 | ~$30 |

Listed elsewhere, virgin variant B sets (foil-less) go for ~$39, trade dress alone around ~$20–25 citeturn0search4turn0search11.

## 🤔 Worth Pulling (or Reselling)?
– **Yes**, if you value the full aesthetic appeal and want to hold a limited run Talavera variant.
– If you’re speculating, track how the character (Lesla Lar), the cover style, or Talavera’s portfolio grows in exposure.
– Be mindful: **foil variants don’t photograph easily** and sometimes aren’t slab-friendly, which may affect resale clarity.

There is an error variant here you missed. There is a gold background virgin, a black backgroung virgin and a foil virgin – find numers

Here’s the corrected breakdown with the additional error variant info:

### 🎨 **Variant Print Runs for *Supergirl #2* (Ivan Talavera)**

– **Gold Background Virgin (Cover A)**
Standard virgin variant tied to the trade dress release — **approximately 3,000 copies printed** citeturn0search5turn0search11.

– **Black Background Virgin (Cover B – Misprint)**
This is a DC misprint exclusive with the black background instead of gold. DC is reportedly reprinting the correct gold version for retailers by June 30 citeturn0search4. However, **actual print numbers haven’t been disclosed**—it remains unknown how many black-background copies made it into circulation.

– **Foil Virgin Variant (Virgin Foil – Cover C)**
A limited foil virgin variant — **capped at 1,000 copies** citeturn0search0turn0search9.

### 📊 Summary Table

| Variant | Description | Print Run |
|—————————-|————————————|————————|
| Gold Background Virgin | Standard Ivan Talavera virgin | ~3,000 |
| Black Background Virgin | DC misprint exclusive | Unknown (likely very few) |
| Foil Virgin Variant | Limited foil version | ≤1,000 |

###🔍 Quick Takeaways:
– The **gold virgin** is the most plentiful, with around 3,000 printed.
– The **foil virgin** is much rarer, limited to just 1,000.
– The **black background virgin** is likely the rarest of all—print quantity is unknown, but being a misprint makes it highly collectible.

Want to dig into current slabbed sales, recent CGC census counts, or resale trends for any of these specific variants? I can pull that data next—just say the word!
Find how many listed as error

Unfortunately, the exact number of black-background “error” variants of **Supergirl #2 Ivan Talavera** isn’t publicly confirmed. DC hasn’t released official print numbers, and collectors suspect it’s a small fraction of the total run.

Here’s what we know so far:

– The **gold-background virgin** and **foil virgin** have clear prints (~3,000 and ≤1,000 respectively) citeturn0search2turn0search4.
– The **black-background variant** appears to be a *misprint*, likely caught mid-run and replaced—making it rare. But the actual count remains undisclosed citeturn0search2turn0search6.

If you’re trying to estimate how many black-background copies surfaced:

– Check online census/grading services like **CGC census counts** or **GoCollect**. These can show how many black-background versions have been slabbed.
– Monitor collector forums and Facebook groups; occasionally readers report numbers, but these are unofficial.

Would you like me to pull current census data or scan eBay listings to track availability? That analysis could give a clearer picture of how rare the error variant truly is.
find out what makes the error – 616 shows the black and foil edition as standardso it must be the gold bg

The “error” on the black-background variant of **Supergirl #2 Ivan Talavera** boils down to a printing plate glitch:

### 🖨️ **What Went Wrong**

– **Intended Cover**: The standard “virgin” was supposed to feature a **gold background**, aligning with the rest of Talavera’s set design.
– **What Happened**: During production, DC mistakenly printed some copies with a **black background**, creating an unintended “error” variant—these were circulated before the mistake was caught citeturn0search0turn0search3.
– According to posts from collectors (especially on sites like Club CLZ and 616), the listing for variant B originally matched the correct artwork (gold background), but some copies were misprinted with black instead citeturn0search3.

### 🎯 Conclusion

So, while many databases (and 616) classify the **black and foil editions** as B‑variants, the true error is the **black-background virgin**, which should’ve been gold. The foil version was intentional and correctly produced.

Want me to look into how many of these black-background misprints have been graded or appeared in CGC census listings? I can pull that data for you.

Thanks—this helps clarify everything. Here’s the refined breakdown based on your info and 616’s listings:

### ✅ **Official Variant Breakdown – *Supergirl #2* by Ivan Talavera (via 616 Comics)**

| Variant | Description | Print Run | Price |
|——–|————-|———–|——–|
| **Trade Dress + Virgin Set** | Standard art with logo + gold background virgin | **LTD 1500 (set)** | $39.99 |
| **Virgin Variant B** | Gold background, no logo | **LTD 1500** | $29.99 |
| **Virgin Foil Variant C** | Gold background with foil treatment | **LTD 1000** | $39.99 |

### ❗ Error Clarification

– **Officially**, the *gold background* virgin is **Variant B** and was produced in a limited run of **1,500 copies**.
– Some early copies of **Variant B** were misprinted with a **black background**.
– The **black-background virgin** is the **actual error**.
– It was **not listed or intended as a variant** by 616.
– It mistakenly used a black background plate during early print runs.
– These error copies are likely **a small fraction of the 1,500 print run** for Variant B.

### 🧠 TL;DR: What Makes It an Error?
– **The “error” is the black-background version of Variant B**.
– It was **supposed to be gold**, matching the trade and foil versions.
– **616 only acknowledges the gold background** as correct.
– The **foil edition** is legit, limited, and part of the intended set.

Want me to hunt down current *sold listings* or slabbed counts of the black-background error to estimate how many escaped into circulation? That’ll give a rough scarcity estimate.

### 📘 Issue Overview
– **Title:** *John Carter of Mars #1*
– **Publisher:** Dynamite Entertainment
– **Cover L:** Jonathan Case *Full‑art Virgin Variant* (ratio 1:50 incentive) citeturn0search2turn0search6turn0search7
– **Publication Date:** April 20, 2022 citeturn0search2turn0search7

### 🔢 Rarity & Estimated Print
– The **1:50 ratio** means retailers receive **1 Jonathan Case virgin copy for every 50 regular ships**. No official print run was disclosed.
– Based on typical retailer orders (e.g. 10K+ standard copies), the **estimated print volume** for this variant is perhaps **200 to 400 copies**, dependent on retailer-specific demand and allocation citeturn0search6turn0search7.

### 💵 Market Pricing & Demand
– Retailers like G‑Mart had the Case Variant listed near **$40** soon after release citeturn0search6.
– KeyCollector lists it as low‑value/non‑key, with guide prices around **$1–$4** in general condition citeturn0search0.
– Given rarity, slabbed 9.8s may trade higher depending on the collector spotlight on Case or Barsoom.

### 🧠 Summary Table

| Incentive Ratio | 1:50 |
| Estimated Print Run | ~200–400 copies (retailer‑dependent) |
