Notes from the list, not star widgets

These are specific waitlist cards, proof tables, and one private Mysterio commission.

I asked for the Kingpin street-crime cover, not the variant with the skyline crop. They wrote the preference on the waitlist card and called when the cap was one name from full. I still wish they had opened the list a week earlier; several club members missed the window while travelling.

The printed Loki proof had a lettering collision on page six that the screen PDF had hidden. We marked it at the table and the drop still hit the published Thursday hour.

Our cosmic-tyrant quarter used to collide with two other shops’ Magneto weeks. Data Control Path gave us a single sheet with ICT hours and waitlist open dates. Members stopped arguing about which rumour was current.

The Mysterio edition stayed on one villain. Supporting cast was capped at two faces, which is what I wanted. Color on the fishbowl helmet took two revision rounds; the second round was the one I kept.

Case: Loki proof, page six

A visiting shop buyer sat with the printed Loki interiors the afternoon before a Thursday drop. Screen PDFs had hidden a balloon overlapping a staff on page six. Prasert recut the balloon, the edition sheet kept the same ICT hour, and the waitlist roster did not change. The buyer’s note is on this page because the collision was caught on paper, which is the point of the viewing.

Case: cosmic-tyrant quarter

A Bangkok club had been colliding with two other shops on Magneto weeks. They commissioned a three-month cosmic-tyrant sheet instead: Thanos in December, with waitlist dates printed, and no second tyrant stacked in the same fortnight. Members used the sheet as the only rumour they would accept.
