Episode 42: It's Your Fault, Not Ours!
Since our last episode, we had a few very interesting releases: some good, some bad. Let's start with the Topps Now release, which we all still call Comic Book Day, and how at first it looked like they changed the mechanics to make Gold covers pay only. Guess what? It was planned! What, you didn't know? Topps said they held the coin pack with gold odds back a day because there was an issue with one of the gold covers. This was not told to anyone, and the diamond packs remained, but we should have known! Duh! Most veteran traders waited until the next day, but it still led to the one broken cover having a significantly lower CC than the others.
The good was the return of First Prints! And Second, and Third, and Final! All in the same collection! While this is a very different strategy than old printing releases, it actually makes it nicer for people who are collecting the First and Second prints to finish the Third and Final without having to open packs in the future. But it also lessens the chance of having a lower CC award for the lower printings as more people will have them.
We also announce our plans for the day of the anniversary, which should be on Twitch on April 24th at 2pm EST!
Besides that, we have winners for our Meme contest! Winners will pick their prize in order that they've won:
1st - Aja Olander with the "Are these different pictures?" meme with the Baron Zemo set
2nd - Regan Murphy with the "When you spend 250k coins and get no super rare" meme with Iceman holding his chest
3rd - Brody Keeton with the "me" holding hands with "I'm only going to collect sets I'm interested in from now on!" and then peeking at "Random new set I have no interest in!"
Check Facebook or Twitter to see the actual meme images! We will be contacting the winners one by one to pick your prizes!
Finally, we discuss the latest, intense episode of Falcon and the Winter Soldier (well, now second to latest!) at the end.
As always, if you have anything you want to share with us or be read on the podcast, email us at [email protected] or Tweet us @SkuttlePC!
