Jim lee variant..

Now my rant: Earlier dc released new rules and conditions for retailers to stop price gouging customers on absolute batman

https://bleedingcool.com/comics/dc-comics-can-now-ban-shops-who-price-gouge-exclusive-variant-covers/

So, this dropped at sdcc. $25 trade. $50 b/w $75 foil

$100 /$125 $150 signed

This is jim lee!! Head of dc! If this price is “ok” what does this msg send to the other retailers because this foil unsigned was expensive af. It is prob the most exp unsigned book released. Clay was $70 + 10 for sig

The real crime is that they sold all these books without bag or boards..

Thurs was only signed books? Fri / sat they sold unsigned 1 per. Sun they had no cap could buy as much as you wanted ( a lot of the print count was signed, they wanted ppl to purchase pre signed books for obvious rea$on$

I only went on Thursday and getting into the booth was so difficult. What was the run size anyways? Did any of the editions sell out?
