48 Hour PRESALE
Opens Thursday, February 8th
at NOON ET!
Target Incoming…
First off, a MASSIVE THANK YOU to everyone for the love during the Phantom Sale! People really seemed to dig both Maul & Ventress, and it truly warmed my heart. As a huge Ventress fan, I was a bit nervous what people would think of her being the surprise, but it seems like everyone was super stoked! A special thank you goes out to Dan at OneStopComicShop for working with everyone interested in getting tier books signed by the amazing Nika Futterman!
These two came about in a whirlwind! There are certain restrictions on when certain characters can be used, so when I found out an opportunity to do these two I had to jump on it! I wasn’t sure when the next time would arise, so it’s been hyperspace mode getting these together. I would have loved to have had more time between the last PUBLIC sale and this PRESALE, but sometimes you got to play with he cards you’re dealt!
So as with other sales, there will be a PRIVATE and PUBLIC sale later in Q2, but I wanted to make sure Boba was able to finally get the PRESALE treatment! So without further ado, here’s the run down…

48 Hours…
Like before, there will be a 48 hour window where you can purchase as many books as you would like, without the fear of the books selling out. Within that 48 hours, you can visit my site ON YOUR SCHEDULE (with love to our international fans) and purchase books. If you choose not to participate in this PRESALE sale, we will still have the PUBLIC and PRIVATE sale, which will occur after we receive them.
We will be communicating throughout this entire process, so you will be up to date on when the books arrive, how they look, when grades will be available, and when to expect shipping to begin.
Grades…
At this time, we are only offering raw books. However, CGC GRADED books will be available during the PRIVATE and PUBLIC sale! We don’t want to sell any books we can’t guarantee, so we won’t be able to sell grades until we get the books and are able to have them screened.
When will the books arrive from the printer…
These two books are scheduled to arrive around early APRIL. Once we receive them, it will take about a month to verify damages and get the number of grades back from CGC. Hopefully putting our time frame of having the PUBLIC & PRIVATE sale around early/middle of MAY.
With the help of the PRESALE sale, we will be ordering quantities accordingly. IF there is an unreasonable amount of damages, or we can not fulfill the GUARANTEE sale orders, we will have to request reprints. If this occurs we will notify everyone and set a new schedule for when you will receive your orders.
Early Shipping…
One of the other benefits of the PRESALE is the ability to send the books out early! Since we will already have the PRESALE orders ready, we will be able to begin shipping within several days of the PUBLIC sale.
Schedule for the Rest of the Year…
With what we’re experiencing, this model has the possibility for PRESALES to occur before the PUBLIC & PRIVATE sales of previous books. We still plan on only having 3-4 sales per year, but due to the turnaround time from ordering books, potential damages & shipping them out. We may need to stagger some sales. WE WILL DO OUR BEST TO KEEP THINGS SEPARATED so you don’t feel overwhelmed. The idea is if you always buy during a particular sale, you should be looking at around 3 months between each.
Combining Raw & Grades (INTERNATIONAL ONLY)…
Because Lori is the BEST, she has agreed to merge orders for INTERNATIONAL customers who buy RAW books during the PRESALE, and still want to get GRADED books. If you are outside the US and would like to take advantage of this, please EMAIL us at
before we get the GRADED books in MAY. In order to keep everything in a pipeline, it MUST be emailed, SOCIAL MEDIA REQUESTS DO NOT COUNT!!!
Combining Sales (INTERNATIONAL ONLY)…
We are continuing to offer combining these books with upcoming sales, and sending everything out when you want, to help lower shipping prices. When you are ready, we will send them out, and refund you the difference in what you paid. Although we can’t control international shipping rates, we hope this is a way to help you save on shipping! If you would like for us to hold your order, and send it out with a future sale, you must email your request to

48 Hour PRESALE
Opens Thursday, October 5th
at NOON ET!
The Phantom Menace…
Starting this off right, a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone! The MANDALORIAN & GROGU sales were incredible, and seeing most people able to at least get a copy of the raws was great to see. From our point of view, the PRESALE model seems to be working quite well, so we are continuing.
These two characters are just made for negative space, and I’ve been waiting to do them for awhile. Plus, it gives me a chance to do some more work on one of the coolest people I’ve met on the convention circuit. Seriously, if you have not had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Park at a show, you really need to change that. He’s a total gentleman, and the fact he could kill you with his pinkie only adds to the coolness of how nice he is, and how deadly the character’s he portrays.
It was also fun to render him in particular, since I always viewed Maul as red with black markings. The way the piece came out really flips that in my head, which is one of those neat things you get to play with as an artist. But enough prattling, let’s get to the stuff you came here to read…

48 Hour PRESALE
Opens Thursday, May 25th
at NOON ET!
This is the way…
First off, THANK YOU to everyone! The X-LADIES’ PRESALE was amazing, and although there was a hiccup due to damages; everyone came through to get them reprinted and we are stoked to get them out as soon as Betsy arrives.
I’ve been waiting to do this guy for some time. It’s awesome to see Star Wars continue to create new, amazing characters. From the moment I saw him, I wanted to paint him. As things developed, I was also afforded the opportunity to do another cover for the series that I could NOT pass up. I want to keep it a secret, but I think you’ll dig it. It’s a character that works perfectly for my NEGATIVE WASH series (like the purple EMPEROR, blue ANAKIN, etc).
Since it’s taken some time to get all the approvals, I feel like it would be unfair to only offer MANDO with this SECRET cover; so we are adding a BUNDLORIAN option to the PRESALE. This will include both the MANDALORIAN NEGATIVE SPACE & SECRET NEGATIVE WASH cover. If you are only interested in MANDO, totally cool. However, if you’d like to get BOTH, you have the option with the BUNDLORIAN. Unfortunately, the SECRET cover will only be available in the BUNDLE. However, you can get as many MANDO or BUNDLORIAN’S, in any combination, as you’d like. …

IF there is an unreasonable amount of damages, or we can not fulfill the GUARANTEE sale orders, we will have to request reprints. If this occurs we will notify everyone and set a new schedule for when you will receive your orders.
Bundle Up…
It really makes things smoother to offer bundles at this time. However, with the approval process of the SECRET cover, it doesn’t seem fair to gate off the MANDO cover. We’ve worked everything out so that the MANDO cover will be available on its’ own, while the SECRET cover will only be available in the BUNDLE. They will both be available, individually, during the PUBLIC and PRIVATE sale later in the year. But, during this particular PRESALE, you can get as many MANDO and/or BUNDLES as you’d like.
Early Shipping…
One of the other benefits of the PRESALE is the ability to send the books out early! Since we will already have the PRESALE orders ready, we will be able to begin shipping within several days of the PUBLIC sale.

48 Hour GUARANTEE Sale
Opens Thursday, March 9th
at NOON ET!
Ladies night, and the feelings right…
We are doing our first sale of the year, and after the success of the MEMBERSHIP BETA, we’re going to keep that idea going. We are now going to call it a GUARANTEE sale, to avoid any confusion about what you should expect. I was told my Tolstoyesque emails are getting out of control, because they totally are; so I’m going to cut right to the chase…
– JTC EXCLUSIVE EMMA FROST Negative Space Variant for Immortal X-Men #11
– JTC EXCLUSIVE PSYLOCKE Negative Space Variant for X-Men #22
exclusively at johntylerchristopher.com
Same Idea, Less Confusing…
We are going to continue with the MEMBERSHIP sale, but renaming it the GUARANTEE sale. There are still NO ADDITIONAL FEES or COMMITMENTS! ALL SALES ARE FINAL.
The idea is to open a 48 hour window where you can purchase as many books as you would like, without the fear of the books selling out. Within that 48 hours, you can visit my site ON YOUR SCHEDULE (with love to our international fans), and GUARANTEE yourself books. If you choose not to participate in this GUARANTEE sale, we will still have the PUBLIC and PRIVATE sale, which will occur after we get the books.
We will be communicating throughout this entire process, so you will be up to date on when the books arrive, how they look, when grades will be available, and when to expect shipping to begin.
Grades…
At this time, we are only offering raw books. However, CGC GRADED books will be available during the PRIVATE and PUBLIC sale! We don’t want to sell any books we can’t GUARANTEE, so we won’t be able to sell grades until we get the books and are able to have them screened.
When will the books arrive from the printer…
These two books are scheduled to arrive in the middle of MAY. Once we receive them, it will take about a month to verify damages and get the number of grades back from CGC, putting our hopeful time frame of having the PUBLIC & PRIVATE sale around the middle of JUNE.
With the help of the GUARANTEE sale, we will be ordering quantities accordingly. IF there is an unreasonable amount of damages, or we can not fulfill the GUARANTEE sale orders, we will have to request reprints. If this occurs we will notify everyone and set a new schedule for when you will receive your orders.
Bundle Up…
In order to keep things smooth on our end, the books included in the GUARANTEE sale will be sold as a bundle. This is something a BUNCH of people have asked for, and with what we are trying to implement, it will be easier on us to have the books sold together. They will be available individually during the PUBLIC and PRIVATE sale later in the year; but during this particular GUARANTEE sale, the only option is to order them together. Again, you can get as many bundles as you’d like.
Early Shipping…
One of the other benefits of the GUARANTEE sale is the ability to send the books out early! Since we will already have the GUARANTEE orders ready, our plan is start shipping within several days of the PUBLIC sale.
Schedule for the Rest of the Year…
Moving forward with this model, there will be the possibility for another GUARANTEE sale before the PUBLIC & PRIVATE of this particular sale. We still plan on only having 3-4 sales per year, but due to the turnaround time from ordering books to shipping them out, we might need to stagger some sales. WE WILL DO OUR BEST TO KEEP THINGS SEPARATED so you don’t feel overwhelmed. The idea is if you always buy during a particular sale, you should be looking at around 3 months between each.
We have something HUGE in the works; and I think you will all agree we should take advantage of it, if we can! Fingers crossed!
Combining Raw & Grades (INTERNATIONAL ONLY)…
Because Lori is the BEST, she has agreed to merge orders for INTERNATIONAL customers who buy RAW books during the GUARANTEE sale, and still want to get GRADED books. If you are outside the US and would like to take advantage of this, please EMAIL us at

Combining Sales (INTERNATIONAL ONLY)…
For our international customers, one of the benefits of having the sales staggered is we will be able to combine sales throughout the year and refund you the difference.

Starts Thursday, November 10th
at 6pm ET!
Almost there…
Man, it has been one heck of a whirlwind couple months! As always, I want to start out by thanking everyone for sharing the love of my favorite Ewok, Wicket. It’s surreal to think that after all these years, the entire Kenner line is now COM-PLETE! On top of all of that, we have been working hard on processing all the books from the MEMBERSHIP BETA; which was HUGE!!! Thank you all so much for your patience and understanding as we’ve been juggling not only those but also working on getting new shipping and other procedures set up for 2023. It’s been BANANAS! A special shout out goes to Lori and Jen as they have been amazing dealing with all this!
Although this is the PUBLIC sale for the 2 books we sold during the MEMBERSHIP BETA, you can now purchase them individually, and grades are now available! There is still quite a bit to discuss, so let’s get too it!
I am pleased to officially announce…
– JTC EXCLUSIVE LUKE SKYWALKER Green Negative Wash Variant for Star Wars #28
– JTC EXCLUSIVE LUKE SKYWALKER: JEDI KNIGHT Action Figure Variant for Star Wars #28
exclusively at johntylerchristopher.com
Like before, we are offering CGC graded books of 9.8 or better for both.
Maximum Lukeattude…
The secret cover is the ultimate version of LUKE SKYWALKER! It wasn’t until I was an adult, that I noticed Luke actually wears two outfits in ROTJ, and what was more baffling, was that the Kenner figure from the film was of his outfit in Jaba’s Palace. Whenever I think of him as a Jedi, I don’t think of the version with the cloak and Jedi vest. I think of the sleek modern suit, with the brilliant white corner flipped over to represent his acceptance of the light side. Plus, it allowed me to have his lightsaber extend from his arm, which is how all lightsabers should be!
I’ve always wanted to do this version of him, and I’m super pumped to finally have had the chance!
International Orders…
The biggest issue we faced with Wicket was the sky-rocketing costs of international shipping. To get this out of the way, WE DO NOT DETERMINE INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING COSTS. We currently use a system called Shipping Easy, and they tell us how much shipping rates are. We have always charged whatever rate they tell us, plus S&H to cover material costs (boxes, envelopes, etc.).
With that said, I refuse to just accept these outrageous rates. I promise you, we are doing everything we can to figure out a better solution. We have been negotiating with 3 different companies to see if we can find something new. Although we are optimistic about some of the news we’ve been getting, it’s going to take some time to not only lock the rates in, but also implement them in the site and our work flow. We are confident that when we launch all the new stuff in 2023, we will have everything figured out.
But I wanted to figure something out NOW! So, for all international buyers who purchased both Wicket and MEMBERSHIP BETA Luke bundle, we are shipping them out together next week. We will be refunding you the difference in shipping from the 2 orders, and until notified, I am waiving all material costs (S&H) for all international orders.
PLUS, are considering a grade? If you are international and picked up the bundle, and choose to get any grades from this sale, I will also pay $10 of your shipping. You have been more than patient while we try and figure this out, and I want to try and help out if this is something you’d like to get.
You have no idea how much insanity and heartbreak I’ve felt over all this, and I hope this is a step in the right direction to show you all that I appreciate you, and want to do right by you!
Domestic Orders…
Don’t think we’ve forgotten about all my homies in the USA! Besides working on International orders, we are also discussing how to cut costs here as well. Although domestic hasn’t gotten hit as hard as International, we are trying our best to get your rates down as well. Fingers crossed!
Also, we will be sending out your MEMBERSHIP BETA orders as soon as possible!
So, How Does the Pre-sale Work for New and Existing Customers?
- PUBLIC sale starts at 6PM EST on Thursday, November 10th, 2022.
- There are no restrictions during the PUBLIC sale, purchase however you’d like (while supplies last)
- Orders will begin to process and ship the week of November 14th.
- We are still a small team and require more time than the average store to ship out hundreds of orders, so we thank you for your patience and understanding.
- Once your order is shipped, you will receive an email with tracking information.
- If you have not received tracking by FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 25TH, please send an email to info@johntylerchristopher.com .

THE OT KENNER LINE’S FINAL CHARACTER…
It’s been a LONG road, but at last the final figure from the original Kenner line has arrived! I’ve said this before, but this is the greatest professional experience of my life, and I would not have been able to do this without you! I need you to know how much your support has meant to me. I am still living my dream, and I have you to thank for it!
Although this is the end of one chapter, the story continues! As you may have seen, the monthly Star Wars Action Figure Covers have moved into the Prequels, and I will continue to create more exclusive AF covers. Even though the Kenner line is completed, I’m not done with the OT. There are certain characters I can’t believe they never made toys of which I’ve been chomping at the bit to draw!
When I started these, there were only a couple characters I “called” and although there is still one left after this, I’ve known for years this little guy was going to be one of mine!
So from the bottom of my younger self’s heart, let me proudly announce…
– JTC EXCLUSIVE WICKET W. WARRICK Action Figure Variant for Star Wars #24
exclusively at johntylerchristopher.com
The books have been graded, so we have the 9.8 CGC books at our offices now!
This is NOT the SECRET COVER from the MEMBERSHIP BETA…
I really want to make sure I let everyone know, THIS IS NOT THE SECRET AF COVER FROM THE MEMBERSHIP BETA!!! That cover is on its’ way, and will hopefully be revealed sometime in NOVEMBER. So if you want Wicket, please make sure you try and get a copy!
This is NOT a MEMBERSHIP SALE…
I also have to say thank you to everyone for the amazing support for the MEMBERSHIP BETA test! It went even better than I could have imagined, and I want you all to know that it was a tremendous success, and will be the method we use moving forward starting in 2023.
With that said, this book was purchased before we decided to try out the MEMBERSHIP idea. Because of this, this will be a sale similar to most we have done in the past. This means we will be having a PUBLIC & PRIVATE sale where you will be able to get your books. The PRIVATE will be limited to 1 per customer, and once it goes to the PUBLIC, it’s a free for all.
The quantities are limited, so hopefully this is the LAST time anyone has to worry about making sure everyone can get a copy. Because of this, I CAN’T GUARANTEE EVERYONE WILL GET A COPY! But hopefully, this is the last time we have to worry about this!
So, How Does the Pre-sale Work for New and Existing Customers?
- PUBLIC sale starts at 6PM ET on Thursday, September 29th, 2022.
- You are welcome to order as many WICKET books as you want (while supplies last).
- Orders will begin to process and ship the week of October 17th . We are building a bit more time into the shipping schedule to ensure we can make deadlines.
- We are still a small team and require more time than the average store to ship out hundreds of orders, so we thank you for your patience and understanding.
- Once your order is shipped, you will receive an email with tracking information.
- If you have not received tracking by MONDAY, OCTOBER 24TH, please send an email to info@johntylerchristopher.com.
- Any other questions can most likely be answered on our FAQ page. If not, send us a quick email and we'll do our best to answer your questions.
- We also have an "In the Know" page on our website that will be your best bet in staying up to date on the latest news about the current book sale.

48 Hour MEMBERSHIP BETA
Opens Thursday, August 4th
at NOON ET!
Trying something new…
One of the challenges we’ve faced in the past few sales is the demand for our books has exceeded the supply. We have tried several new processes to insure as many people can get what they want, but I still think we can do better. It is because of this, that I am excited to try something that I hope will work out best for everyone!
We are going to test out an actual Pre-sale; and if successful, we hope to try and launch a more ambitious version for 2023. Although we are calling it a MEMBERSHIP, there are NO ADDITIONAL FEES or COMMITMENTS! Although this is a BETA to see if this works, you will be receiving the books you purchase. ALL SALES ARE FINAL.
The idea is to open a 48 hour window were you can purchase as many books as you would like, without the fear of the books selling out. Within that 48 hours, you can visit my site ON YOUR SCHEDULE (with love to our international fans), and GUARANTEE yourself books. For this test run, we are only including a single sale. If you choose not to participate in this MEMBERSHIP BETA, we will still have the PUBLIC and PRIVATE sale, which we plan on having around NOVEMBER (this date is loose, incase there is a need for a reprint), but this is a chance to avoid the insanity. If it goes smoothly, we would like to offer this in the future, and it would include multiple sales. This might open some options up to help with shipping costs as well. It all depends on what works best for everyone!
I am excited to announce, included in this MEMBERSHIP BETA…
– JTC EXCLUSIVE LUKE SKYWALKER Green Negative Wash Variant for Star Wars #28
– JTC EXCLUSIVE Secret STAR WARS Action Figure Variant for Star Wars #28
. 
exclusively at johntylerchristopher.com
At this time, we are only offering raw books. However, CGC GRADED books will be available during the PRIVATE and PUBLIC sale!
Bundle Up…
In order to keep things smooth on our end, the books included in the MEMBERSHIP BETA will be sold as a bundle. This is something a BUNCH of people have asked for, and with what we are trying to implement, it will be easier on us to have the books sold together. They will be available individually during the PUBLIC and PRIVATE sale later in the year; but during this particular MEMBERSHIP BETA, the only option is to order them together. Again, you can get as many bundles as you’d like.
Early Shipping…
One of the other benefits of the MEMBERSHIP is the ability to send the books out early! Since we will already have the MEMBERSHIP orders ready, our plan is start shipping within several days of the PUBLIC sale.
Secret (Star) Wars…
Something we would like to maintain is the aura of mystery about what is coming. I wanted to share with you at least one of the books included in this MEMBERSHIP BETA, but the other one is a secret STAR WARS Action Figure cover. I will reveal the cover a couple weeks before the PUBLIC sale, just like normal, but in the meantime, it’s a secret.
In the Meantime…
Just as a heads up, there will be an additional Star Wars Action Figure Exclusive sometime in early September. It will be just like previous sales with PRIVATE and PUBLIC times. IT WILL NOT BE THE BOOK INCLUDED IN THIS MEMBERSHIP BETA.
Quick Recap!
- MEMBERSHIP BETA starts at NOON ET on Thursday, August 4th, 2022, and is open for 48 hours.
- MEMBERSHIP BETA closes at NOON ET on Saturday August 6th, 2022.
- Both books will be sold exclusively in a bundle.
- You can order as many as you’d like, no limit per order.
- There will still be a PUBLIC and PRIVATE sale around November, where you can buy the books individually.
- MEMBERSHIP BETA orders will begin to ship within days after the PUBLIC sale closes.
- This is a new process, so we appreciate you patience and understanding as we work with you to make this as smooth as possible.
- Once your order is shipped, you will receive an email with tracking information.
- If you have not received tracking within two weeks of the PUBLIC sale, please send an email to info@johntylerchristopher.com .
- Any other questions can most likely be answered on our FAQ page. If not, send us a quick email and we'll do our best to answer your questions.
- We also have an "In the Know" page on our website that will be your best bet in staying up to date on the latest news about the current book sale.

SCARLET WITCH - NEGATIVE SPACE ANNOUNCEMENT
PUBLIC Limited Edition Sale
Starts Thursday, June 30th
at 6pm ET!
Reassembled…
I wanted to start off by saying THANK YOU for the support with Boba Fett! It was a trip to get him out, but as always you all showed up, and I am truly grateful! YOU ROCK!!!
We actually meant to have an action figure exclusive before this sale, but due to scheduling, it wasn’t ready. It’s something I’ve been wanting to do since I started the Star Wars line, so I can’t wait to share!
As always, I learned a LOT from the Fett-man. The systems we set up worked pretty good, all things considered, but I still feel I can do better. I’ve got some ideas below that I hope will ensure as many people as possible are able to get a copy. I know these letters can get a bit wordy, so I’ll just cut to the chase.
So before we begin, I am proud to announce..
.

– JTC EXCLUSIVE SCARLET WITCH (A) Negative Space Variant for Avengers #56
– JTC EXCLUSIVE SCARLET WITCH (B) Negative Space Variant for Avengers #56
– JTC EXCLUSIVE SCARLET WITCH (C) Negative Space Variant for Avengers #56
exclusively at johntylerchristopher.com
The books have been graded, so we have the 9.8 CGC books on their way to our offices now!
Some Chaotic Good Magic…
I, like everyone, was crushed to hear of the passing of legendary artist George Perez (and of course Neal Adams and Tim Sale). His work is a defining part of anyone who has ever held a comic book in their hand. He impacted generations of creators, not just in comics, but in all forms of media. More importantly than that, he was one heck of a man. Although I only had the pleasure of meeting him once, he could not have been more generous and kind to a young punk kid trying to make his way. I will forever cherish my brief time with him, and will always get a chuckle out of “the Great Wall of Perez!" There will never be another.
So in honor of Mr. Perez, I will be donating a percentage of sales from all three books to the Hero Initiative. In these chaotic times, I hope that we can do some good, and in a small way continue the amazing generosity from this Titan of our industry.
Elizabeth Olsen Signing…
Thanks to a friendly tweet, we are going to be offering the opportunity to have your books signed by the actress who plays Scarlet Witch in the movies. We are working with CGC and ONE STOP COMIC SHOP to make this happen! For anyone interested, please contact Dan Partouche at Dan@onestopcomicshop.com after you get your books, and he will handle the rest! YOU WILL NEED TO PURCHASE THE BOOKS THROUGH MY SALE, then between July 1-7, send Dan an email with your name and order number. We will send the books directly to Dan, who will personally drive them to CGC for the signing. After the signing, Dan will get the books back to you. This is a super tight schedule, so make sure you get with Dan ASAP if you are interested!
Good, Great, Grade…
We had a unique situation with these books upon arrival. There were some books that, although NOT damaged, were just shy of the quality we expect. Taking everything into consideration, I have decided to sell these additional books at a discounted rate which I feel is fair. We still have a normal amount of GREAT books, but we hope that by offering these GOOD books, it will mean more people will be able to get a copy.
Jen and Lori have an amazing track record of picking out quality books, and I trust them completely with making the call of what is GOOD vs GREAT. Their decision is final on this, so unless there is something egregious with your book, we are sticking to their call.
As always, there will be GRADE versions of all three available as well.
(WE CONSIDER GOOD BOOKS APPROXIMATELY NEAR MINT- / NEAR MINT)
( WE CONSIDER GREAT BOOKS APPROXIMATELY NEAR MINT / NEAR MINT +)
PUBLIC SALE 1st hour 1 per Customer…
Offering 1 book per customer during the first hour seemed to help some people out, so we will be doing this again in this sale as well. From 6pm (et) to 7pm (et), there will be one book of each type pre customer. Due to technical reasons, we cannot limit it across the different books, so you will be able to still get a raw and a GRADE book as the supplies last. I hope this means more people can at least get a copy of the book.
At 7pm (et) we will open it up to no limits. At which point, depending on supply, you are welcome to order as many copies of any book you would like.
If you choose to get a copy during the first hour of the PUBLIC SALE, and then get additional copies during the open time, we will NOT be offering the ability to merge orders for anyone in the USA. We will however be willing to merge INTERNATIONAL orders with a postage credit of $10 & over.
PRIVATE & PUBLIC sale…
Like before, we are offering a PRIVATE sale. However, several people made some good points about feeling left out of the last PRIVATE sale. I hear you, and I hope this lets you know that I’m always trying to be better and change with feedback. If you have ever bought from me, you should be receiving an email with an invite by the 25th of June. Please make sure to check the email address you used to purchase with. More info will be included in the email.
We are only able to set aside a select amount of books. We will be offering all of the different books for BOTH the PRIVATE and PUBLIC sale. This means even within the PRIVATE sale, WE CANNOT GUARANTEE ANYTHING!
Hopefully, this will help ensure both returning and new customers will have a better chance at possibly getting at least a copy! Again, WE CANNOT GUARANTEE ANYTHING, BUT WE ARE TRYING OUR BEST!
So, How Do Things Work for New and Existing Customers?
- PUBLIC sale starts at 6PM ET on Thursday, June 30th, 2022.
- Limit 1 book type per customer from 6PM-7PM ET (while supplies last). Then order as many as you like after 7PM ET.
- Orders will begin to process and ship the week of July 18th. We are building a bit more time into the shipping schedule to ensure we can make deadlines.
- We are still a small team and require more time than the average store to ship out hundreds of orders, so we thank you for your patience and understanding.
- Once your order is shipped, you will receive an email with tracking information.
- If you have not received tracking by MONDAY, AUGUST 1ST, please send an email to info@johntylerchristopher.com .
- Any other questions can most likely be answered on our FAQ page. If not, send us a quick email and we'll do our best to answer your questions.

BOBA FETT SHIPPING UPDATES
UPDATED 2/11/22
Thank you all for being so patient waiting for your orders. 99% of the raw book orders have been shipped. I know that we pushed back our shipping deadline to today, but!! Don't panic! If you haven't received yours yet, it is coming!! Working on getting the last few of those orders out this weekend.
ON TO GRADED BOOKS
Now that most of the raw book orders are complete, I will be tackling graded book orders. Guys, I'm sorry it taking so long, but this has been quite the feat. I would like to say that I will have them all shipped by Friday, February 18th, but with Covid and logistics I can't guarantee an exact ship date. Just know that this is my sole focus and I will try my hardest to get these orders out as fast as humanly possible. Thank you again for your kindness and understanding.
ALSO! RED DOT ON YOUR BOOK MEANS FIRST PRINT RUN. :)

Thanks!!
BOBA FETT ESB & HOLIDAY NEGATIVE SPACE BOOK SALE
Updated 1/9/2022
PUBLIC Limited Edition Sale | Starts Thursday, January 13th at 6pm EST!
He’s no good to me dead…
First things first, I wanted to start off by saying THANK YOU for the support on Phoenix! We hoped people would dig her, but we had no idea how many people would show up. I am truly humbled by the whole experience, and I want you to know that it meant the world to me!
With that said, I also learned a LOT from her. As you may know, we implemented a bunch of new systems for the Phoenix book sale; and although they seemed to work like a charm, I believe there is more we can do to make sure the whole operation works even smoother.
I want to make sure that EVERYONE who comes to my site gets the best service I can provide, and I’ve always believed that begins with transparency. There is a lot to get to with these books, so I’m going to take a page from the Fett-man himself and try to keep this short and concise. PLEASE READ EVERYTHING, as some things have changed, and I will hopefully address all questions and concerns in the points below.
So before we begin, I am proud to announce..
– JTC EXCLUSIVE BOBA FETT (ESB) Negative Space Variant for War of the Bounty Hunters #4
– JTC EXCLUSIVE BOBA FETT (HOLIDAY) Negative Space Variant for War of the Bounty Hunters #4
exclusively at johntylerchristopher.com
The books have been graded, so we have the 9.8 CGC books on their way to our offices now!
1st & 2nd Printing…
The first run of books arrived with almost the entire order damaged. As some of you may know, there was a transition in printers at MARVEL, and unfortunately our 1st run was one of the last from the old printers. However, thanks to everyone at MARVEL and PENGUIN, we were able to get a 2nd printing.
The second run of books are almost identical, with a few minor differences. The legal copy of the interior will show two different print dates. Although the 1st printing cover is also slightly darker while the 2nd printing cover is a bit brighter, there is no difference in the integrity of the book.
We are breaking them into 2 distinct products on the site. This way, we can keep track of the quantities, and people can get what they want! There are much fewer 1st printings than 2nd printings, so we are pricing them a bit differently. See more info at the bottom.
PUBLIC SALE 1st hour 1 per Customer…
We saw how fast Phoenix went, and although that was mostly due to a TON of traffic, we want to make sure as many people as possible get a chance to get the book they want. Therefore during the first hour (6-7 pm EST) of the PUBLIC SALE, there will be a one book per customer limit. In the interest of full disclosure, we do not have the ability to limit the number of types of books you can order, so you are welcome to get 1 copy of each. I’m not trying to open a hornets nest, but I figure someone will figure it out, and I don’t want anyone to feel like I’m keeping this a secret.
At 7pm (EST) we will open it up to no limits. At which point, depending on supply, you are welcome to order as many copies of any book you would like.
If you choose to get a copy during the first hour of the PUBLIC SALE, and then get additional copies during the open time, we will NOT be offering the ability to merge orders for anyone in the USA. We will however be willing to merge INTERNATIONAL orders with a postage credit of $10 & over.
PRIVATE & PUBLIC sale…
In the past, I have offered special opportunities to people who have bought from us in the past. I have always kept this private between those previous customers, but I know it's not really a secret anymore, so I figured I’d explain it to everyone.
Due to the amount of customers, the amount of new recent customers, and the amount of damages, it is not possible to offer a book to EVERYONE who has EVER bought from me. It breaks my heart, but it’s just not possible this time around. Because of this, we will be offering a PRIVATE sale before the 13th to anyone who bought from us in 2020 & 2021. This sale will be 1 per customer (like mentioned above) for the entire duration. Like with Phoenix, there are certain security features to ensure that no one is able to get more than one, so PLEASE read the email we send out. We are using our database to comprise this list, and will be sending emails out to those addresses. If you are a first time customer, and you get a copy, you will be added to future PRIVATE opportunities.
Due to damages and the nature of the different printings, we are only able to set aside a select amount of books. We will be offering all of the different books for BOTH the PRIVATE and PUBLIC sale. This means even within the PRIVATE sale, we WE CANNOT GUARANTEE ANYTHING!
Hopefully, this will help ensure both returning and new customers get a good CHANCE possible to get at least a copy! Again, however, WE CANNOT GUARANTEE ANYTHING, BUT WE ARE TRYING OUR BEST!
So, How Do Things Work for New and Existing Customers?
- PUBLIC sale starts at 6PM EST on Thursday, January 13th, 2022.
- Limit 1 book type per customer from 6PM-7PM EST(while supplies last). Then order as many as you like.
- Orders will begin to process and ship the week of January 31st.
- We are still a small team and require more time than the average store to ship out hundreds of orders, so we thank you for your patience and understanding.
- Once your order is shipped, you will receive an email with tracking information.
- If you have not received tracking by FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 4TH, please send an email to info@johntylerchristopher.com.
- Any other questions can most likely be answered on our FAQ page. If not, send us a quick email and we'll do our best to answer your questions.

PHOENIX SHIPPING UPDATES:
Updated 9/9/2021
We realize that the orders have taken a lot longer to process than we expected due to several factors including a COIVD scare. We are very sorry about that. We are trying to keep you all 'in the know' via social media as we are able to make better assessments of our current standings.
Our shipping process occurs in small and manageable batches. Unfortunately we are unable to get everyone's orders out at the same time. Some of your friends may get their order before you do, or you may only have received a partial order. But do not fret! It will get to you.
Right now we have shipped out about 80% of orders, and fingers crossed the rest will go out by this weekend. We have been faced with many challenges, one being the post office has run out of our basic needs. They plumb ran out of envelopes. So we are working on it!
Thanks so much for being there and understanding that we will always be a small business run with a large heart. We appreciate each and every one of you.
~Jen
