Ultra-Rare 1:50 Ratio Variant

This is a 1:50 ratio variant, meaning retailers had to order 50 copies of the standard issue to receive just one of these variants. This creates extreme scarcity and makes ratio variants among the most valuable and collectible covers in modern comics. Virgin variants at 1:50 ratios are particularly desirable among serious collectors and investors.
