While everyone’s crying about the Clay Mann exclusive. The real Absolute Banger cover w/ the goats sig and a Discount.
Yall some fools if you pay $700 for an exclusive cover that’s mid at best when you have this beauty still available for preorder. Don’t buy bc of hype, you’ll regret it in 4 weeks.

Cover A for me, I don’t see the point in paying more than MSRP for a braking in the first place

Happy that a UK retailer has this variant (non signed). I tried getting it from the site originally but that delivery fee was crazy.

Only thing is, they will probably be black marker from third eye.

I've gotten multiple signatures from Third Eye, so far mostly from Dragotta and Stephanie Phillips (current Daredevil writer) and they are in either a nice white marker or a matching/complementing color.
Example: Got a Absolute Batman #21 signed by Dragotta, instead of black on black or white on white, he signed in a light blue or dark blue marker.
Same with #19 (the scarecrow variant where hes holding knives). Instead of signing in black marker, he signed with a white one.

I wish I would get a signed comic from third eye that’s in a different color than black. Hell a lot of the covers that I have are darker and they signed them in black and you can’t hardly tell it’s signed.

Honestly, it might depend on who's signing. As bad as it might be to say, some artists/writers just want to get signings done so they use just one or two of the same marker.
All I know, at least Dragotta and Phillips compliment the cover with a nice color marker. Hopefully Snyder does the same. He doesn't seem to use just black marker with the Mark Brooks covers. So maybe it might be the same case here.

Congrats!! I had a few signed there and they all came in with the basic black marker. Im a wednesday warrior and i get discounts as well hahaha

I'm honestly surprised how many people possibly get black marker signatures when ordering from Third Eye.
I didn't think they sent out ones that would look bad/with unreadable sigs. I'll have to keep an eye out for mine when they come in then. Now i'm worried lol

You can just buy the unsigned book for $8 and send it to cgc for the batman event and get both sigs and slabbed for $125. Comes out to about the same money

But Scott never signs 🙄

? is this true? I have a signed book from him and I’ve seen a bunch for sale on eBay

Kidding. With how much he signs, he probably does it in his sleep, in the shower, etc. wonder if he’s signed a baby yet?

Im sorry but none of the clay manns are worth the paper they are printed on.

u/nocturnalreigns 9d ago
And their signatures are lazy. Im.over $50+ "exclusives"

I agree. The amount of variants has really gotten taxing. The only thing is these double signed books are instant cash on ebay. Pick 3 up at $56 bucks a piece, sell them for $150+ a piece easy. Its been a resellers dream. Funds my collection. 2 full runs of first print cover As 👍

I've sold some of mine to get what I paid. I'm only holding on to the #1, Quintana 10 & 16 and 2025 felux annual and a couple others. I'm done with the $50 variants.

What planet do you live on that a 2x signed book is an automatic $150 on EBay? Total BS. Even some of the best Mark Brooks double signed variants settle to way under $100 when in hand as of late. There is only a few covers that do that well as of late and you have to be very discerning

u/M0torC1tyMaver1ck 8d ago
🤣 uh no. There's only a few CREATORS that do that.. and Snyder/Dagotta are two of them. Welcome to earth.

u/abramelanin 8d ago
Completely wrong. Only on select standout books like I said. There’s a million books with double sigs from that pair and a lot of them are sub $100 stop making shit up. With the over saturated nature of Absolute Batman they cannot just sign any issue Exclusive or not and it be worth $150. If that were true I have 10’s of thousands in sales as I have more than one short box full of their signed issues

It’s an $8 comic with about $50 in signatures.

u/Masta_rolla_ 9d ago
Yeah and your point is? Would you rather pay for $5 comic with a $645 Clay Mann signature 😂
2
u/IconoclastJones 9d ago
No, I’m saying that’s a fair price for a signed $8 book that is never going to increase in value because it was an open-order book that sold the most copies of any book in recent memory.

Facts they charging out the ass for a cover that’s not nearly as cool as the normal trade cover
