Pulp Fiction in Long Beach still has about 15 copies of The Amazing Spider-Man #583 available that store owner Mike Lerner pulled off eBay and decided to offer in his store instead.
He has the variant edition with the cover of President-elect Barack Obama featured with old web-head in the background. Lerner said he is offering it for $59.99. As I mentioned yesterday, eBay is offering the fast-selling comic for prices ranging from $50 to $150-$200.
The first printing of the regular edition of Amazing #583 (with cover art by John Romita Sr.) flew out the door at Pulp Fiction just as fast as the Phil Jimenez cover edition, said Lerner. The numbers of actual copies of regular Amazing were ordered some time before there was an announcement of the Obama appearance and were based on the usual orders Lerner makes for Amazing Spider-Man every month.
"The regular one is probably going to end up being just as hot, I mean everybody wants the Obama cover if given the choice, but the other one is going to be just as hard to get too," Lerner said.
Most comic store associates I spoke to said they are expecting the second printing to be on their shelves next week.
