[For Sale] IDW #5 Cover A

*Powder* · 08-25-2013, 05:21 PM

This has been selling for some wild prices lately, and I could use the money. So if you need this book, I'm your guy. Despite what the ebay listing says, I'll humor international shipping. Just PM me first. & if you'd prefer to do business outside of ebay, that's alright too.

Your best bet is going to be eBay. The one person who needed one on here now has one. Also, you could message the guy who sold the first copy and get the username of the third bidder down from him. The second bidder down bought my friend's copy that I sold on commission.

You're welcome.

just curious - why is the A cover of this issue so rare/valuable? Shouldn't it be one of the easiest to find? Was there a printing error?

I think this cover is highly sought after now because the artist, Mateus Santolouco, is now the ongoing artist for the City Fall series and people really dig his style.

***First of Two Latin Kings*** · 08-26-2013, 06:02 PM

When this came out, most comic subscribers asked for the Santolouco cover AND the Dan Duncan cover, so anyone who wasn't a subscriber basically didn't get one.

Sweet. I'm excited to watch this auction. I have this issue too. Good luck muh dude.

The important thing is that nobody step on anyone else's toes, if you're going to maximize your profits.

It's not an auction, just a listing. If there are no takers within a few days, though, I will make it one.

Nah. I remember when it came out there was like 8 of the Dan Duncan "B cover" and just one Santolouco cover. Damn, how I wish I would have bought them both that day...

Why is this book so much money? Just because of the cover art?
I love his style too but that's enough to jack up the price?

I was late getting on these books so the earliest book I have is #6 cover A

Mateus' TMNT character style has also changed pretty dramatically since then too.

6 A is somewhat sought after itself.

I went ahead and relisted this as an auction, which is what I meant to do from the beginning. http://www.ebay.com/itm/281159921451...84.m1555.l2649

Relisted with the option to make an offer. http://www.ebay.com/itm/281164438177...84.m1555.l2649
