Marvel variant covers

[trewgod]

hey guys. who here goes out of their way to collect variant covers.
i tend to get them if they are around on wednesdays when they are new and i can pay cover price for them.
however last night i was in a local chain called newburry comics thats in and around the boston area. i never buy my books here but i was in the place just killing time and i took a look at their book section and noticed new release variants already boarded and bagged and price marked at 9.99. one of them being a very cool variant of the new man-thing miniseries that i actually really wanted.

so i guess the point of this post is who is a variant fiend and are you willing to shell out extra $ for them.
