I've seen a few issues designated as "way under ordered". Can we go back to the old way of describing them, maybe "Scarce" or "Low print run"? I feel like we're just dumbing it down for the non comic fan speculators/investors.

Ha, ha, ha, you guys are killing me. I noticed that someone did that too and I've fixed one of them on Canto #1. Were there other examples of this casual style? Honestly, this was the first time I've ever seen this "way under ordered" thing. Pretty sure that it's not going to catch on.

Maybe we can use something like "Speculator Special"?

Marvel Presents #6 has that also.

Marvel Presents #6 has been fixed as well. Speculator Special? It's catchy but there could be a negative vibe for some people with the word "speculator".

I should have ended with a sarc tag on that as it would be negative. Hahaha! It just happens that at the shop I work at we had so many folks in asking for both Canto 1 and Marvel Presents 6 this past week, almost all who are known speculator/investors in the area. The best one was the guy who came in looking for both for his cousin who lives in a small town in northern California. The store GM told me later that he pops in every few months and is always looking for these types of books for various relatives in any of a myriad small towns across the western US.
