Batman: Beyond The White Knight #1 Gets eBay Bump For No Reason
Batman: Beyond The White Knight #1 has sold a copy on eBay for $35 today. Another for $26. A number of copies between $15 and $20. With no reason whatsoever. I mean no more than usual. Seaon Gordon Murphy posted the following on Instagram, "
Heads up: there was a mistake at the printing press for new Batman #1–it seems they didn't print enough copies of cover A and many east coast shows only got cover B. If you find cover A it's probably going to sell out and we'll likely go into 2nd printings. Which means resale value on cover 1A (1st print) will go uo. In case investors are looking for an opportunity. And no this isn't a dirty trick to sell more books."
But retailers were told by DC Comics and Lunar Distribution that the missing cover A was down to delays rather than short-printing. And that the rest of the comic books will appear in shops next week – at cover price. Sean Murphy layer added "And apologies to shops that won't get cover A until next week. Sadly, this was out of my control." Still, it did the job and now DC Comics have sold out of the comic book as a whole and are going to second printings.
And for those who really want the first cover, and their comic book store was out, I am told that copies from Lunar have already been delivered to go on sale this coming Tuesday. Just don't pay the eBay surcharge right now…
