As of a few minutes ago, there was only 20 listings for the book. Personally, I have no interest in it. One of the main reasons I cut back to DC superheroes is Marvel's insistence that their books are in the "real" NYC. Nothing against the new Prez, and I wish no harm to sellers. But, when my LCS tried to get additional books before the last cutoff date, not only could they NOT get additional books, Diamond somehow "lost" their initial orders and will not have enough total copies of the book (regular and Obama covers) to give their regular subscribers!! I'm not into conspiracy theories (ok, I really am ;) ) but I can't wait to see how many CGC Obama covers Wizard will have to sell. Just thinking out loud, Bill I wonder how many e-bayers “ratings” will suffer when they may find out the book was probably sold-out before they could even order one?

I understand the need to make cash, but listing a comic before it's actually come out and you didn't even have the cover? Come on.
