Sheesh Levi has a nice signature.

This platform wasn’t around last time I was in the hobby. Been in a few streams grabbed a modern variant pack to see how it all worked. Was a pretty good transaction but it is hard to see the quality of books through the stream and phone screen. I’m wondering what others experiences have been? I’ve seen some streams that are just fire sales of modern variants with some aggressive pricing but a few cool sellers who make good conversation - give honest assessment/grading close up looks and are selling from their personal collection. I do like the interactive part of it but the sudden death auctions make it hard to think things over imho

Read an article where they say they still plan on putting out books?

I’m having complete paralysis of choice here - love too many of these covers. Not looking to make a spec or flip play here so will probably just choose my favorite art and let it rock?

100% my plan. Have some saved eBay searches and hoping there is some undercutting or auctions at the right price. also feeling like going after non 9.8’s from this signing might be the play for me.

McFarlane was mine but I missed the goat on that. celeb wise: Would love the chance to get Toby, Tom Holland and Andrew Garfield on one book. Also as a huge fan of the HBO Max Harley Quinn show, Kaley Cucou would be cool.

As a black suit Spider-Man fan idk how I never knew about this book! Great prices on both GLWTS

Anyone seen the Barnes and Noble copies ? I don’t store near me but can’t imagine these are in good shape with the kids and others reading them at the store. also seeing a bit of a tear on the back upper right corner top of spine on many copies - anyone else noticing this?

Getting tickets for ECCC in March - will there be any cgc presence or people who can help with SS books? Also how does that process work I’m new to the in person SS game

Looking over the various variants im definitely going to just get the art that appeals most to me. Trying to go after the most scarce or a complete run from an artist or 1A seems like it’s gonna be a no from me.

Sweet books. PM sent!

Yeah I’m not hoping for a walking dead type spec or even invincible - I simply like to get a few nice 9.8s of moderns that really captured my interest. Have a nice amount of Lazarus variants, East of West, We Are Never Going Home - that I just keep in the slab pile. It’s usually for the same books I invest in the HC or deluxe collected editions of as well sort of thing.

Man oh man are there a lot of store exclusives for 16…. I’m probably going to just go by the art I like for that one. Might have to piece together a few copies over time. Paralysis of too much choice. Also print runs seem to be a bit of a guessing game on those ?

Freaking loved always loved this cover - you have a 118 too?

Hahaha totally get you on the second point.

I’m really in love with this recently new Del’Otto variant - going to get one slabbed but I also want to just frame one of the virgins as an art piece.

6th print ? That’s interesting! Is it due to a low print run ? Will check out the other covers. With the Jenny Frisson variant, how many versions are there and why the huge gap in prices?

Not to derail the thread but I’ve seen some custom yellow labels without the “1st App of Angela etc” Any idea why this may be? And does this affect value in everyone’s opinion?

Hey guys Ive recently gotten into Something is Killing the Children via trades and I really want to grab a #1 and some keys. 1) in terms of first issue what are the most desirable covers, is 1st Print A the general go to? 2) any other essential keys ?

Thanks - I would fed ex overnight it.

Probably a stupid question - but if I were to submit a book for grading at a high tier would it have any shot at making it back in time to be a Christmas gift for my brother?

Love that story - I have an ASM 300 9.0 that’s similar though not signed. congrats on the turnout on the spawns man!

Oh yeah personally with Signed books of creators I really like ill take a 9.2-9.6 any day for the price. Thanks for the warm welcome.

After years away from comics outside of trades have been slowly building back up my collection. Seen some cool new things since I was last collecting like these private signings. Quite bummed on just missing our T Mac. anyways looking forward to chatting books and shooting the breeze.

That’s a real beautiful beta ray - gl with the sales. If I hadn’t just gotten everyone Christmas presents - I’d definitely be interested in the 252/Secret Wars.
