    You can definitely get an ‘eye appeal’ bargain.

    It’s all a matter of degree, though, isn’t it? There have always been classic covers, yes, but I don’t think the amount of collecting focus placed on covers has ever been greater. I stand by the comment.

    The CGC era has become the era of the cover.

    You need some help gutting and cleaning the fish you suckered with that comment?

    He doesn’t need to pay a corporate tree of various employees like Marvel and DC do. He runs lean and mean.

    A new pedigree? The guy will have served his sentence by the time any of the books are graded.

    Where are you stuffing it?

    Just the ‘any publicity’ approach.

    It’s the Bad Idea business model. Falls under the category of ‘any publicity is good publicity’. I don’t like it, myself.

    Yes he had a small series several years ago that name is escaping me the art was very impressive. Aliens: Dead Orbit?

    I am convinced that international collectors are drawing off more books from the market. Prices on Heritage bulk lots in the Sunday auctions have really run up in the last three years.

    Fantastic cover! Stokoe has a bit of this style in him as well.

    Likely only Grogu’s hand in issue 1…

    Leafs’ fan, yes.

    PGX is still in business?

    Yeah, I had 52 slow boat books arrive last week that were received at CGC on Feb 15.

    FOMO and urban legend book.

    That’s rich!

    These books had print numbers that were large by today’s standards. They are functionally scarce, though. Why? Because sellers, both LCS’s and show dealers, don’t prioritize them for sale or display. So they are out there, but they are languishing in collections and stock boxes. There are a lot of books like this that I have, but haven’t felt are worthy of lugging to shows.

    Longer run, this’ll depend on the character being used beyond Cates’ run.

    Looks consistent across the print run.

    King’s smaller bite, limited series books have been great in general.

    This… is classic!

    Frankly, the market decides. Enduring popularity, and all that.

    Of course, joey can press the defects out of the Elephant Man. YMMV.
