Respectfully disagree in the case of pedigrees and signature series. Every comic is owned temporarily, and the owner is a custodian. For pedigree comics with a provenance, the custodial responsibility can be argued to be more important than the circumstance of the owner of the moment. According to this argument, preserving the provenance and historical nature of a pedigree comic is a responsibility of the custodian. To those holding this view, pressing and creator signatures run counter to the custodial responsibility.

 

 

Well put and I totally agree.

With so many low grade, restored examples of books out there why use a high grade pedigree for a signature.

Exactly. I just got an Avengers 4 in .5 that was signed by Stan Lee. Yep .5 it was missing a non story page.

 

That is one mighty nice .5 though,but perfect for sig. series.

Not a ped but here is a .5 SS

I am just floored by this final win price tonite...a $500 book going for a grand on schmeebay...just, wow! I'm floored...thought about bidding but was not greatly enamored with the COW pages and the close crop top edge and right edge...

Why not get a white pager 8.0 or 8.5 that looks much better for cheaper ? I don't get it either ? Seller must be happy.

Like Green said to each their own

Peds + sigs!! Killer books!!

To me these books are no longer peds. Their ped history has been skewed. They were newsstand fresh OO comics but now they've got black marker on them.

After Georgia crushes the Gators, will you go into your room and cry?

 

do you really have to ask?

I feel like a real slacker now. Haven't even finished my McFarlane spidey run and you got one done all SS'd

They don't make them like that anymore Very nice

 

1938 and look how good it looks

I'm having a pretty good week. Another book showed up on the mail today. Thanks to a fellow boardie...Thanks Steve.

 

What was that messed up thread where people were acting out some of these covers such as this one ?

i'll be laughing too, enroute to the bank, FYI all 3 books i own for $1900. do the math for me and tell me how much i made when its all said and done, i wont have time to count it, i will be out spending it.

Hey look at me everyone I'm hood rich !

I hate that the episode leaked online,

I hate that I learned it leaked online,

I hate that I couldn't NOT download it immediately after learning this,

I hate that I didn't have the discipline to NOT watch it,

I hate that I'm now waiting for episode 2 and have to wait longer for new WD.

 

I did however, LOVE the show.

 

+1 on everything except for the love. I did enjoy it though and I am awaiting the next one!

Time to search for it

I'm not going to explain why but the book HAS to be published in 2010 and that is the timeline we are working with. It's coming guys, it's coming.

My little sister just got married. I felt bad for my dads wallet.

If your puppy wakes you up at 4:34 am and you get up because you figure she must have to go to the bathroom but when you let her out she just flops down on the floor and goes back to sleep, did you just get owned ?

I love that annual. Its got some awesome full page splashes in it.

I'm really happy about this book. IMO it presents much better than a 6.0 .

No chips, no writing, shiny clean staples, very bright, just a small stain mostly noticable on the BC.

 

 

Looks Great !

Great post SOT.

 

I totally agree with the eye appeal and page quality aspects of a comic being most important.

 

 

Sweet ! I especially love the circle 12centers

It's not foxing.

I don't think those "dots" are dirt or foxing. Looks like a bit of the black ink may have smudged a tad during the printing process.

 

Book's a stone cold killer, and may be the nicest copy in existence.

That is something I would like to know if I had the money to buy this book. Print flaw on 9.6 (thumbs u Foxing on a 9.6 The price difference between a 9.4 and 9.6 can be huge and if it is foxing it shouldn't be allowed in a 9.6.
