- Thankfully they probably estimated their sales to be down for a few books because of Alpha. I have had my new 693 ASM and have had no urge to read it yet. I thought about skipping them lol but I doubt I will do that. I will probably read it at some point.

To my knowledge there has never been an Amazing Spiderman variant 1:200. Many people believe the sketch cover for #648 is a 1:200, but I recently was told that was a 1:100 and the regular color cover from Campbell was a 1:50. I wish I knew a comic book shop owner who could 100% clarify, but I do not think they have done a 1:200.
If you think about it, there are only select stores in the country who could order that many (i.e. Mile High, Midtown, etc.) copies of 1 issue.

the 648 was not a 1:50 it was a 1:100 the sketch was a retailer incentive. They jave had a 1:200 the amazing spiderman dark reign

- Silent Assassin,
Ok so the color version was a 1:100. How does the retailer get the incentive? In this case did they need to order 200 or 100 to get the sketch? Also, Dark Reign to me does not count as "Amazing Spider-Man" since it was a separate series.

- Dark Reign does not count to me either but I was just stating that as an example thought I am surprised the official title run has not had a 1:200 yet but with with Walking Dead having a 1:500 I not not be surprised at all about some crazy ratios.
The retailer has to go a "meeting" and when they are at the meeting they get a copy of it. ONLY the retailers that attend the meeting get a copy. The copies are from Marvel Direct I THINK if I remember correctly.
The Spider-Ham variant was similar to the ASM 648 retailer incentive.
