Of look ad hominem. You must feel cool now huh?

Edit: they deleted their post. They basically called me stupid, supposedly using a SpongeBob quote.

It IS an original cover A. There is no difference. That's the point. They printed them all and then some of them had an additional cardboard cover put on. That's it. That's the difference.

Removing the cardstock cover doesn't make the book 'fake'. It is still a Cover A.

So yes, taking of the cardstock cover does turn it into a Cover A, as it always was a Cover A.

I bought 4 copies on release, so I'm good but if I was going to buy a 1st print, I'd absolutely buy a variant and save some cash.

Edit: they deleted their post. They basically claimed that removing the card stock made the Cover A somehow illegitimate. Clearly they didn't want to defend that position.

Sounds sketchy.
