I bought 4 each of the FF#1s and ended up with a 1:27 and a 1:54 variant.

That’s cool! The 1:54 is the Kirby and the Adams isn’t too shabby either!

If I see comics on there I'm interested in, I'll give it a shot. A chance at a variant is a nice idea plus they can store all the books at epack for me

Interesting… spent $185 today without even a 1:27 variant. I know they aren’t guaranteed but it seems so random whether a small or big order. Bought multiples of 4 different Deadpool 1s and Joker #3s.
Trying to keep up on making runs of some of these.
Oh Well,
Vinny

Default Well today balanced things out

Ordered 4 each of the BATMAN & THE JOKER THE DEADLY DUO #2 issues. Got 2 variants, a 1:54 and a 1:107.
Then realized I needed 4 each of 2 #1 covers and got the 1:134.

Funny thing is, I don’t like the artwork for the 1:134 at all. Not against selling it though

I was writing up a private message to you but your folders are full. Thought I’d explain my comic adventure.

Default Variants…

They seem pretty random. I just bought 1 Fantastic Four issue I needed for a run and got…
1:27 FANTASTIC FOUR 1 ARTHUR ADAMS VARIANT
Had to go back and buy the 1 issue I needed. LOL

Was a bit bummed out by the sticker shock of MUSM on ePack so ended up chasing this Deathstroke 14 ratio variant instead…


DEATHSTROKE INC #14 CVR C INC MEGAN HUANG CARD STOCK VAR

I think it’s a fun one but not as nice as the Deathstroke 15 ratio I pulled upthread.

Any help on how to export my comic collection from the ePack site? I tried a few ways but it’s not a standard column setup so I get a lot of odd bumps when I try to cut & paste the info into a spreadsheet. I also hav3 tried to paste into a text doc first but again, there are a lot of odd characters mixed in.
Thanks,
Vinny

I’m on phone now, but it looks like there isn’t a clean way. You can try switching to list view after sorting only your comics in your collectionn…

And then highlight all of your listed collection and copy and paste it into a spreadsheet. Then just edit out the rows you don’t want and make other formatting changes to clean it up.

I didn’t think to try list view. Not tonight but when I get a chance I’ll report back.

First batch of comics are up. Label missing some of the info the initial scans suggested would be there (eg creative team) but still look nice.



EDIT: actually info is on back of label…

Up where? Maybe I’m not looking in the right area.

I have been checking to see about new issues. I think a batch ended yesterday.
Thanks,
Vinny

Thanks, I wasn’t looking on epack marketplace. It will be interesting how they do in-hand.

Variants seem to flow easier when those comics are first released. I haven’t had much success lately.
Shipping will be interesting. Ultimately I want the majority of mine in-hand to sell. I’ll keep some runs of the ones I like for our family PC.
