As a former comic book collector, I agree that this is the main reason this is a "big deal." And the fact that it is in limited print increases demand.
In the comic world overall, it isn't that big of a deal.

Agree 100%, the limited print will cause the bidding war to start.

Those in sales may disagree with you.
Apparently talking to the guys in my shop, there was a DC Comic that's been delayed that finally got back on track and since it was coming out today it was to be the big seller BUT since the Obama comic came out, it trumped that book.
I am curious to see how the sales reports will look at the end of the month for this book and Marvel.

How would any of that lead a salesperson to disagree with what I said?

You said in the comic world it isn't that big of a deal...most who sell ARE into comics so it would be a BIG deal to them
And despite the 'comic toursists" passing thru today...like SPidey or hate him, there were a lot of disappointed comic readers who didn't get their hands on it...as a matter of fact, the reason WHY they were in short supply was that anyone worth his salt with a susbscription had pre ordered the books and the pre orders had to be filled first before the rest of those books could be sold.

Because..."there has never been a comic by a major comic company in recent history dedicated to a president, but at the same time we are talking about Barack Obama also" and "the fact that it is in limited print increases demand."
