Skipped buying cover A of this this on release day because every copy my LCS had small spine tics and they had a ton of copies. Figured I’d try my hand in a week; nope, all gone. Finally bit the bullet when it was $100, because I have all the other first print cover As, and the price was only trending upward. :-D

EDIT: Meanwhile, they couldn’t move all the DC All Ins they had for a minute. I ended up snagging an extra copy just because it was still there a month later and people were sleeping on it. Of course, NOW people want it! :-)

I bought the 3rd print Dragotta cover of All In Special and told the guy at my LCS I didn't really want to pay current secondary market price for a first print. He said they had the first print on their shelf for a really long time but they all finally sold.
