SPIDY/OBAMA DAY 1

Well so far I've taken a very impressive 37 calls for the Barack Obama variant of Spider-Man #583. That's just today!! And I've only been open a few hours. Not counting calls over the weekend or earlier this week, which would put the total closer to a hundred.
This would be fantastic news, if I had any to sell. Sure the 2nd prints are coming next week(and I still can't believe Marvel got them back to press that quick), and I've put the majority of the callers down for a copy or two, but it sure would have been nice to have those people spend money today. And I need to assume a certain percentage of these orders will go unfilled as people have a chance to think about it for a week, or find a shop closer to home.
Still it seems that the 2nd print will probably sell out within the week, and we can be sure Marvel will announce another variant for the inevitable 3rd print.

It's gonna be a long day...
