DC Comics has pushed and promoted comics over the last few years with tiered variant covers, available to those who ordered more of the standard cover. 1:25, 1:50, 1:100, even 1:300 rare variant covers, pushing retailers to order more and more of the comic, and then letting them sell the covers at a premium.
But can that premium be justified? Possibly, if the covers are as rare as DC Comics says and are only available if a retailer orders a lot of standard covers.
But less justifiable if, after a few years, remainders of those self-same covers are sold again to retailers as if they were standard covers, for the standard price of a standard comic.
And diluted any possible collectable value overnight.
DC Comics has been offering such deals to retailers a few time over recent months. Here are the latest batch.
But what incentive do retailers and customers have to place value on current tiered variants if this is where they’ll end up in a few years?
