Yeah, they increased the shipping fee for cards recently, and it sounds like this applies to comic books, too.

I'm going to stick with my local shops and Ebay for the time being.

The first two covers are physical on ePack now. When you go to collect forever, each lets you put 99 in your shopping cart. Based on population of the copies on ePack there are still probably a few hundred of each unsold.

I’m trading 3 comics for each of the live ones. They should have let you trade them from the getgo to stir additional ePack interest and help move them.

Happy the first two covers went live and I was able to trade for them. I will do one set for the achievement, I think.

I've bought 2 of each from the beginning and am looking forward to 2 rewards. I buy very little on epack now but agree they are cool covers.

Yeah…. The covers have grown on me. I’m not sure what UD can do to bring more attention to the Collect Forever website to make this particular achievement sell out. If it was a Batman card set (6 weeks of 1,000 packs at $15 a pack) it would have likely sold through by now. The first issue has been on sale on CF for 6 months and still has a few hundred to sell.

First 4 covers are now live on ePack. This is probably my favorite one of the bunch so far…

I don’t know if this is intentional to spur sales of the Collect Forever exclusive covers that haven’t really caught fire so far, or just an error… BUT it looks like some of the virgin foil achievement covers are being slabbed and sold with the regular Sienkiewicz exclusives.

Here is one I got below and if you go to the trade section of ePack and look up this issue you can find a few more scattered amongst people’s collections…

Would a “Virgin” cover have the DC logo on it?

Here is the regular version with Batman logo and DC logo at top (not bottom).

Just saw a first on epack (I think). There are signed issues of a bunch of new comics posted today.

I ended up picking up… Invincible Presents Battle Beast #1 Blank Variant Commissioned Cover Art Signed And Remarked By Ken Haeser With Battle Beast Sketch.

I honestly never heard of the artist. It was like $92. Will post it here when the completed cover gets posted in my account.

I have a thing for Deadpool so I splurged on 2 copies “Commissioned Cover Art Signed And Remarked By Gordon Purcell And Mariano Nicieza With Deadpool Sketch”. I thought it would be interesting to see any variations between 2 sketches by the same artists.

I picked up the Post Malone comics with Momoko covers.





These can be purchased and immediately traded on ePack. Like the Sienkiewicz Batman exclusive covers, it will likely be a day or two before a scan of the actual comic in your collection shows.
