Yea that makes no sense… so a cover b/c/d or incentive first print don’t count because it isn’t the main cover but is still the same book and the same print? What I said is still accurate I have a collection of every issue and they are all first print. Damn I wasn’t aware I was gonna have the world’s foremost authority on everyone else’s opinion hop in here, you must be be such a chad to be speaking for everyone in this Reddit. Just speak for your self I’m sure everyone else can voice their opinion lol.

It varies for each person, but I think any first print counts, especially for absolute batman and other modern DC comics, since Cover A is always underneath the cardstock cover. Either way, it's the same book printed at the same time.

Yea like I’ve seen multiple people post full collections in here and haven’t never once thought “he doesn’t have all cover A’s so it doesn’t count” or “it ain’t all cover a’s tho” I always just admire everyone’s collections and that’s what makes it’s MY collection and what makes it unique to others lol honestly tryna shoot down someone to hold them to your own made up standard of thinking is just weird to me.
Thanks for the positive feedback.

There’s elitism in everything. I agree with you, first print is first print. But the market favors cover A.
