  1. This is one of my top 10 covers. And it looks like a PROJECT! I'm trying to figure out if I want to take it on, but I love a mullet. Give me a 7 in the front and a 2 in the back any day!
  2. I would prob go sweet FF5 because I just like it better than #1. But I might do a middling 5, if it meant I’d have money left over then to buy a phenomenal #6. One of my top 10 covers and a great issue
  3. Nice grab, and nice start to the thread! These books are gorgeous, OP. GLWTS!
  4. Oh, I was joking about how I have multiple copies too because I literally have to stop myself from buying every nice copy of it I see. It’s one of those books for me. That said, yours seems to have great color! And I like raw books, so it’s got that going for it too!
  5. I’ve been toying with doing a sale of a good amount of my run (basically 30-110). It’s mostly very high grade raw with super peachy interiors. What do you consider “this section of the run”, if you don’t mind sharing?
  6. Let me know if you’re selling this. I have two that are pretty much exactly like this but slightly different so I have to have this one too 😂 (I got a problem)
  7. I get the sense that Jack was like the guy I knew who drew the parrot for Polly-O mozzarella. His name was Jimmy, but his real name was Vincenzo. When he came here and signed up for school, they asked for his name. His mom responded “cenzin’” (chinzeen), which is heavy neopolitan dialect for “Vinny.” The guy from the school goes “Jimmy?” And his mom goes “yeah, go to school.” He was pissed they paid him in cold cuts for the parrot drawing, but didn’t have an identity crisis about his name 🤣.
  8. I mean, to be real, you're not wrong! Someone bought Dr Xs slabbed #57 and I was like "THANK GOD I DON'T NEED TO BUY A 3RD COPY OF THAT." I'm an unrepentant ho for that issue (and like 95 others under issue #100).
  9. I'm very, very happy with this casting (I don't know much about Vanessa Kirby, but have heard good things). My current pick for Doom would be Matthew Rhys. He's the right age, not a body builder type, can be charming but there's this darkness that's always underneath it all and when he flips it's absolutely terrifying. And if anyone can emote only with his eyes, it's him. I like Bardem for Galactus, but also think they might be picking him because they were like "who has a gigantic head?" I have no pick for surfer yet. Who're yours for the ancillary characters?
  10. Once again, I'm wowed by the generosity of this community. Thanks @Math Teacher and @paqart for your input. And thanks @MattTheDuck for taking a break from beating me to the punch on every FF book in a sales thread to offer advice as well
  11. WHOA! Congrats! That is a beauty! PS has anyone here published a guide or rig setup for shooting slabs? I can't ever seem to get a good pic.
  12. The more I reread this run, the more I can literally find places where it's like Stan is turning the page and seeing the artwork and just having his characters react at the same time he is as he goes along. A lot of the clumsiness in some of these issues I think comes from that. The last one that struck me is the first panel of page 18 of FF 58. It's like such an awkward way to start the page verbally, and it feels like Jack's intention for the pacing was not something where Reed is telling Wyatt not to shoot and he can't tell why even though there's his best friend on fire in between him and the target.
  13. "And I asked myself how much more black could it be? And the answer was none...none more black."
  14. Thanks! flying_bison and I know each other from reddit and basically migrated here at the same time. So, his assessment of me as a seller comes from a larger data set than on here and is greatly appreciated!
  15. I shoulda listed it raw first because now I’m out of threats ! How’s “Don’t make me crack it and send it to PGX and sell it as a 10”?
  16. Bumping this up to make sure people know it’s not on its way to a heritage auction yet! Open to offers. Partial trade is a possibility 65% would likely have to be in $$. Money preferred over trade. Someone has a place for this superb example in their collection!
  17. Beat me by a couple secs to this one! What a killer cover. Great grab, preacher!
  18. I’ve got most of these, personally, was hoping your 72 was gonna be high grade (but really finding a nice 5.0 is even more rare!), but they’re gorgeous!
  19. Lol, exactly the same here. That spine roll was calling me and my press' name. I def will do, and in any case, def PM me and show me the results of your work!
  20. FLASH SALE! $30! take plz. YOOO that’s a winner! I had my eye on that one. Great pickup, Preacher! And great book Readcomix!
