About: Subsequent Printings
Star Wars WotBH : Jabba the Hutt #1 2nd Printing Design Variant (Previous FOC & Top Cop List)
Subsequent Ptgs are almost always added late to order, with very little order time (compared to multiple months with other books/covers) and are almost always low print run. 95% of the time are the rarest of retail covers (many of any covers, store exclusives and ratios included!)
Given time, subsequent Ptgs almost always surpass their 1st ptg counterpart. Granted, they can take much longer, and beyond lunch money they are almost always the longer hold play. But they are usually the smartest and most lucrative.
A majority of subsequent Ptgs of hot, sought after books, if you look you can barely find them most of the time. Maybe a copy or two every few months. And you can gouge highway robbery prices.
There are recent books like Riri and Ms. Marvel keys for $20-$50 that some obscure subsequent Ptgs sold for $4-$500+ Don’t sleep on subsequents. They make insane investments and can blow up of their own accord and on Hot Keys they can moon very easily.
