Actually I reread what they wrote again, which was:

"No order from our online sales was more than 3 cases when the ordering window was open"

It is a strange distinction they are making. The qualification of 'when the ordering window was open' implies there were larger orders before the 'ordering window was open.' I guess that could mean during the presale, or it could mean the stock they sold to blowout and Solarfly.

I can't blame Viceroy for taking guaranteed bulk sales,it really helps with the cash flow of a small company.

What I think this really shows is that the concept of a set is crucial.Their first set took longer to sell because a lot of collectors(like me) were not interested in the subject matter.This set had a broader and more populist subject and so sold out very quickly.

I think you and SBelcher are over analysing a very simple statement. I very much doubt if Viceroy were doing anything sinister, sneaky, underhand or misleading. For the two of you to infer from that one line that there were larger sales before or after the 'ordering window' really is just a bad case of conspiracy theory thinking.

Who said anything about sinister or sneaky, underhanded or misleading?

Originally posted by Kevin F:Lol, you did when you used the terms 'a strange distinction' and 'The qualification of'. My reading of their statement was simply: from when we opened the online sales to the point where we sold out of boxes and cases, there were no orders larger than 3 cases. That's all they said. Where did they imply anything else ? You have somehow decided that something in that simple statement they made implies that there were larger orders before that when it does no such thing. Like I said, over analysing

This was the only promo released for our Space set (P1), and the first from us as a company. One promo card was included in each case, and one promo was also included in each order that came directly from us for packs of Space. Each promo card features artwork by Gary Kezele, has set info on the back, and is hand signed in gold ink by Gary Kezele as well.

There are a total of 300 signed promo cards, and Gary Kezele has some additional unsigned copies that he will have available to give out when he attends comic conventions and other events.

The promos were held back a bit as Space had already sold out prior to the cards being printed. We decided to take our time and have Gary sign them as a little added bonus.
