Michael R. Wagner 1 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 The cover image for Batman #500 should be removed and replaced with the correct image. The correct image has Batman swinging on his batrope and also has the three autographs on the cover. r/ Mike Link to post Share on other sites
Alan DeCamp 0 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 The image is correct for the regular edition book. The special edition had the "Swinging" cover. The one you have is probably a Dynamic forces signed copy. Regular issues do not come already signed. Link to post Share on other sites
Mark J. Castaneda 12 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 If this is a different signed edition (with COA), we can add it as a new variant. Link to post Share on other sites
Michael R. Wagner 1 Posted March 20, 2020 Author Share Posted March 20, 2020 I have both a signed copy and an unsigned copy, so I'd say it's a variant. Link to post Share on other sites
Gregory Hecht 9 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 7 hours ago, Michael R. Wagner said: I have both a signed copy and an unsigned copy, so I'd say it's a variant. But does the signed copy come with a COA? As I understand it, that is currently the criterion that HC uses for listing signed variants in the database. Link to post Share on other sites
Alan DeCamp 0 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 (edited) This is the regular non-enhanced issue: https://atomicavenue.com/issue/254992/Batman-500 and this is the enhanced cover: https://atomicavenue.com/issue/234041/Batman-500CS Also, if the cover is already in the system, just having a signature should not make it a variant, COA or no COA. This is something I have said in the past and I think it really needs to be addressed again. Anyone can print a COA on their computer. If the cover is EXCLUSIVE to the signature then it would be a variant, but just a cover (Book) that has been signed, does not a variant make.

Michael R. Wagner 1 Posted March 22, 2020 Author Share Posted March 22, 2020 My signed copy has a numbered COA contained in the shrink wrap with the book, one of 9500 signed copies, if memory serves correctly. Link to post Share on other sites
Alan DeCamp 0 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Then you have the enhanced cover signed. CB will allow it to be entered as a variant due to the COA. Link to post Share on other sites
Michael R. Wagner 1 Posted February 20 Author Share Posted February 20 Today (2/20/2021) I found my signed copy w/ the three autographs. It's not a Dynamic Forces variant. The back of the sealed bag says Beckett & Associates, 675 E. Big Beaver Rd, Troy MI 48083. $4.99 is stamped on the front of the bag. The barcode stamped on the bag is 728192951008. It has the die-cut cover overlay with Batman swinging on the rope; the three autographs are on the half-cover. I think this is a variant distinct from the other variants listed in the master db list.

Michael R. Wagner 1 Posted February 23 Author Share Posted February 23 Yes. I've attached a scan here. Link to post Share on other sites
Mark J. Castaneda 12 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Set the issue number as 500/C. Be sure to include the COA info in the notes field. Send in a correction for it - we'll be on the look out for it. Link to post Share on other sites
Michael R. Wagner 1 Posted February 24 Author Share Posted February 24 Done! Uploaded the scan and issue data a moment ago. r/ Mike Link to post Share on other sites
