Mr 9.8

Any pictures of it?

Thank you so much to Mr 9.8 for some amazing Alan Moore Swamp Thing raw books and high-grade Miracleman freebies that were fanatically safely packaged (amazing the level of protection he included).

 

Sam, I truly appreciate your spot-on grading and customer care. One of the best!

Or, there is this one.

 

Omega 1 CGC 9.6 Limited Signed Numbered

 

Interesting enough, this is not the first time I think I've found HQ Comics posting a book listed on ComicLink also on eBay.

I've wanted to start this thread for awhile now, but sense I had only read a couple of issues I didn't think I should start this type of thread, but it took a recent thread by ''Amadeus'' to get me to start this anyway .

This thread will be dedicated to all of us new & old fans to show off our ''collectibles''.

Discuss the various series & talk to fellow fans of these books & share stories of how we first heard about these books & maybe convince some fans of other ''ages'' to try these comics.

So far my favorite series has to be GRIPS.

What's yours?

Also I like to show a link to a great place to pick up whatever back issues you may be missing from your collection.

The one on the bay is old label it might get a grade bump if resubmitted

I sold my Omega 1 in raw 9.6 condition last year and had no idea it was the 1st appearance of Faust. Cool book to have, too.

All kind of hard to find in HG

There is also Northstar 1 in 1988 with Faust on the back cover.

this one has been on the bay for a while you might be able to get him to lower the price.

It is a 9.6 so it might not meet your standards

I thought that Faust's first appearance was Faust #1 LOTD #1 (Northstar) But I've discovered his First Appearance is really Omega #1. Now my question to the experts is how rare is Omega #1? How much money should I expect to pay for a NM/MT copy? and are there any production defects on the book I should now about with O#1? I also discovered there are several different variants to this book.

1. Yellow Thunder bolt.

2. Portfolio Edition.

3. Limited Edition (ltd 1000 copies)

4. Premire Edition (Standerd cvr?)

One day I will HAVE a CGC 9.8 (white pages) Calliber presents #1.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned the scene in ARMY OF DARKNESS where ash has a copy of ''Dark Horse's Fifth Anniversary Special'' in the trunk of his car.

Maybe the buyer will DE-slab the book and send it in hopeing for a 10!

Just once in my life I'd like to taste drink a $5000 bottle of wine.

 

I bet that's a pretty awesome $12 water too

problem is it probably tastes exactly like a 20 dollar bottle of wine

Deadpool smash! indeed.

Anybody ever notice the similarities with Death Stroke and Dead Pool?

 

Dead Pool - Wade Wilson.

Death Stroke - Slade Wilson.

and the costume is similar in many ways.

 

Maybe it's just coincidence, never heard the comparisons mentioned before though!

Michael, I treated myself to some mylite2s during Hotflips sale. I got the 725 and 700 halfbacks and love them. However, I noticed that the .20¢ are very tight in the 725s. Should I go up a size for those?

 

Also, I tuck in the flap on my cheapie bags and am doing the same with these. Does anyone have anyother suggestions for closing the flap?

It was only a $12 purchase:

 

Don't show your hole card, Bob.

Maybe I can get it for under $100?

So conclusion is:

 

1. Don't buy before movie/new hype

2. Most Copper comics are available readily (except maybe Turtles 1 first print)

 

Well, number 1 depends on what you have to pay when you buy. I may have missed the peak in looking to sell this copy, but it was only a $12 purchase:

 

1. Don't buy before movie/new hype

2. Most Copper comics are available readily (except maybe Turtles 1 first print)

^ WOW that's sweet!, but where's the sig?

I got my Caliber Christmas book SS'd by J. O'Barr in Chicago and it came back 9.8. Booyah. I'll get a digital pic of it up in the next couple of days. It took me forever to find a nice raw copy of that book (thanks MSchmidt).

Is this a real comic?

Do you have to have a 1st print to join this club? I only have a 3rd print.

Well I'm out! No way I can afford that right now!

S.M., don't sweat it. What condition are you looking for, as I have multiple copies on this book?
