Jetpack # 1 ''Orange error'' ?
 

Can anyone confirm this? I don't have this particular issue in hand yet. But is there any truth to this auction or is this seller just spewing BS?

I emailed jetpack.

Coolness. I am interested in what they say.:)

This post is nooooot tooooooo shoooooorrrrtttt!

Hmmm, interesting. I wonder if I will get one in the mail or if it will be the normal one...

Wondered when word of this was going to spread. They aren't the same price so you will get the normal red unless you paid the huge markup for the orange.

Jetpack is not differentiating between the two though.

Huh, I'll have to take a look at my copy when I get home later. Pretty sure mine's red-tinted though.

I got one...couldn't resist!!!

You know what companies should do, make comics, then make variants to make more money, then purposely making variants with errors to convince even more people to to buy overpriced stuff that isn't really rare at all. If I ran a comic company, that's what I would do lol. Makes you wonder if all of the new comics being released with errors are on purpose or not, trying to cash in on the old days of misprints and errors. I am still tempted to buy this though, those damn comic companies know how to get me.... sigh*

Anyone have any idea of how many issues have the orange tint?

If you would have read the auction, the seller states 400 have the orange cover but a large quantity of the 400 were damaged in transit so less than 400, depending on if they are selling the damaged ones.

Seeing as how I already have a red version of this variant, do you think its worth the 40 bucks to buy this orange version of the variant? Help me decide lol!!!

Yes, buy it right now.:roll:

Lol I love that response

So issue one has yet another variant.

Thank God I stuck with the one.

Id like to believe that but the skeptic in me is screaming No freakin way. The red was a thousand copies and the orange was 400 with a good chunk damaged. If you think about it, it doesn't make good business sense to sell a rarer variant copy for the same price as a more readily available version.Supply and demand.

I fully expect to see mint copies of the orange popping up for double or triple or even quad plus the price. Ill gladly admit I was wrong if folks order the variant for regular price and get a mint orange. Im waiting to hear back from Jetpack myself.

How to make your own "ULTRASUPERRARE!" orange Jetpack #1:
1. Place your red Jetpack #1 in a window facing the sun or under florescent lights.
2. Wait until the color fades and enjoy.

:D

I cant believe there is this many variants. anyone know whats the most variants for a single comic? Not including reprints. I would imagine this one is getting close.

the first godzilla comic by idw had 100 variants

Yes and they're mostly charity covers that show Godzilla stomping on various comic book shops around the world. The proceeds went to Japan Tsunami relief..

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn!:o What a pain if you are a completist.

Heh. Well they released a book just of the covers too that you can buy. *lol*

Did they really, or is that an attempt at a joke?

that's crazy so many covers.

Just as I figured. $50 for a very fine no guarantees Orange cover. Ill pass.

ETA - How can it be "Very fine +++" and not near mint? Sounds like a crap shoot.

I ordered one, so we'll see what happens

They should continue on and misprint this in Blue and Purple.

Being an error in the first place, does it really matter the condition of the comic?

It does to those who are getting it graded. Condition directly translates to dollar amount when it comes to graded books.

Maybe its just me but if I was going to dish out $50 id like a guarantee on the condition of the comic rather then some vague sales pitch with a made up rating.

Iamthenom what grade did you order?

I'm so glad I was never a completist. :D

I went for the highest grade one and hoping for the best.

If they do a purple and blue I will buy those but a slight variation of the red color combined with the quiality issues just don't make the purchase worth it to me. Happy for the error collector out there though.

I just got the one in I purchased off of eBay. It looks to be in great condition, nothing wrong that I can see

I got mine today too. Looks like a 9.8 to me. We shall see.

As for color comparison. The side by side looks exactly like the picture I posted earlier in this thread. Though admittedly, if I didnt have a regular version to compare it to, I dont know that I would immediately pick up on the difference.

did you get it from Ebay or Jetpack?

Ebay. I was the first purchase from that seller, so maybe I got lucking having the pick of the lot.

I have a feeling that the ebay seller is involved with the store somehow. The book came packaged exactly like it would from Jetpack.
