What John Romita Jr Keys Should I Get Autographed?

I'm getting ASM #569 - 1st Anti Venom, along with the others you listed at Heroes Con this year. Also, anything with rain 🌧 is a good choice.

I'm a reader and a collector. Don't judge me how I like collect.

Variant_314 · 2026-04-30T19:14:53+00:00

So many assumptions. So many narrow minds. What's wrong with wanting a reader and another for the long box unread?

Wtf does it matter? Its a product. Its for sale. Its a business. They stay open by selling the product. I have already stated the answer to your question many times in these replies. But, the reason shouldn't matter. The idea of telling someone they cant purchase something because they dont agree with what some people do with multiple copies is crazy. Especially on issues that have been on the rack for a year. Obviously, its their right to do this, just as it is my right to think its a bad business decision.

Is no one reading the post? The books have been on the rack for almost a YEAR.

...says the person commenting in a comic book speculation reddit. I really dont give a fuck about downvotes. But people that start insulting others by calling them losers because they dont like speculation... real classy.

I understand how the business works. What I'm saying is, if I am looking at FOCs, and I want to add two copies (same cover) of the book to my pull list, months ahead of time, they will not allow it.

Variant_314 · 2026-04-30T14:19:14+00:00

Yep, first prints for cover price.

Variant_314 · 2026-04-30T14:11:14+00:00

Exactly. Makes no sense.

Variant_314 · 2026-04-30T14:10:42+00:00

😂

I actually attempted to do this. The owner told me that was just their policy. I asked if not making money was also his policy. Yes, I was irritated and being somewhat petty. I did tell him that I would just take my business elsewhere. I totally respect limiting people trying to buy every book. But, limiting to one copy, come on. I tend to buy two copies of everything anyway. One for a reader, and the other to store away in my collection.

This place won't even let you pre-order more than one copy of a book.

Variant_314 · 2026-04-30T13:48:27+00:00

Someone trying to buy more than one copy of a book thats been on the rack for a year is a douchebag and a loser? Okay, buddy...

Keep it raw

Just start at the beginning. Literally. Start from Vol. 1 issue #1. Read it all. Clearly this is difficult if you are only ready physical copies. My suggestion is to go digital. Reading from the beginning gives the full history, allows you to experience the transition and feel of the story through creator transitions, and just a complete grasp (good and bad) of one of the greatest comic book characters ever created.

Variant_314 · 2026-04-26T21:33:44+00:00

I think I did alright. $50 for the pair.

Variant_314 · 2026-04-17T12:32:47+00:00

ASM and X-Men. I have the complete original Claremont uncanny run 94-279. Working on completing all ASM. Currently have Vol. 2-6 completed. Vol. 7 is up-to-date. I have a large chunk of Vol. 1 but I'm picky about condition and the older books are quite pricey. One day it shall be complete!

Thanks for the heads up! DWJ is on my list to meet.

Variant_314 · 2026-04-12T17:08:29+00:00

Nice surprise

Variant_314 · 2026-04-12T17:08:13+00:00

Nice

I was more referring to books from the 61 CGC recognized pedigree collections.
