Wow, never knew there was a statue thread throughout my time on the boards. It's good to be back

I just started collecting statues and man, there are so many statues I'm looking for!

If anyone is selling SS Spidey statues, pls drop me a PM!

You guys think the superior Spidey #20 Campell'a price will stay that crazy? Kinda reminds me of ASM #620 dp variant. Does anyone know why that variant suddenly skyrocketed?

Wow anyone knows why Venom (2011) is hot? Saw 2 auctions:

One of the rare modern titles to go beyond cover price.

Wow nostalgic indeed, One of my first few modern variant favourites.

Hello Chew Fans. I just started reading this series a few months ago and I feel in love with the beautiful art work and the well-written story-telling. It was my first comic after a 20+ year hiatus. It was a crazy long time but Chew got me hooked on comics again!!! Does anyone know how I can score a Chew #1 CGC 9.9? I would love to start my new collection with a bang.

 

I wouldn't exactly call the art "beautiful", but it works very well for the series, like Mignola's Hellboy worked for that series. I would hate it if they did Spiderman (or Walking Dead) in Chew-style art.

Interesting comment. I kinda think Ramo's style is similar to Rob's style.

Wow nice!

I posted this in another thread but it went away. Inker Edgar Delgado did a great job on this

 

Catchy! Who's the guy Spidey's holding supposed to be? You?

NOW UP IN eBAY!

 

SOLD]

 

Woah can't believe I missed this. How much did it sell for? Very nice!

Only sig on the census!

 

Nice! If you ever decide to sell it let me know, it'd look great next to my Strange Tales 107. (thumbs u

It sure doesn't look like Off-White pages AT ALL! Cool book!

Love your metallic colors!

Mammamia! Very nice! Congrats!

Awesome collection Dom! Or should I say.. Chewy!

Not sure how your site may work, but could you edit them as sold on your sight or somehow otherwise mark them NFS? Think that would comply with the letter of the law.

 

Also, I think you would be OK for a PM sales thread...have folks indicate an interest or not and start a small private sale under a large group PM with those that wish to be included?

 

Either way, thanks for thinking of us (thumbs u

Interesting. I was thinking of something else-

Advertise the link to that website and have boardies indicate which books they're interested in and you give them a better price via PM or other forms of communication? Or if you're comfortable, you can just give a certain % off the listed price for boardies.

I have the same problem with some of my slabs too. I tried inserting a piece of paper in the side of the case, but the case was too tight for the paper to go through the slab to remove the smudge. I'm afraid of breaking the slab too. Any help?

You mean just the banner? How much did that cost?

Check out this WD #1 9.9 SS which is the only one, on ebay. It started at 9.99 last night (Sunday night).

He is a good guy. Previously turned down $2500.

 

 

Ouch. He took a bit of a hit.

 

man that sucks for him. i was quite shocked at the final price. a batman 608 rrp 9.8 blue label is worth more at the moment and i am quite shocked.

Woah, I know I'm late, but why's a 9.8 batman 608 worth so much?! I thought the hottest modern out there cost about $500 (Shield partial sketch variant, Siege #3 Campbell variant and Uncanny X-Men #510 partial sketch variant comes to mind)

Sorry for being off topic, I'm just so shocked. Talking about TWD, I've only read till the HC vol 4. Maybe I can share how it feels reading TWD from a HC format. It's really quite addictive to be able to spam issue after issue and sure felt like it ended way too fast. Initially, I felt there wasn't enough conversation but I think the conversation picked up quite a bit and it's really quite interesting to see how the story turned out. Can't wait to read more!

Woah you're on a Spidey frenzy Spider Junkie!! I'm so green with envy! cool stuff! (thumbs u

Woah nice one Spider Junkie!

I disaggre I'm all about the Reborn 1 2nd printing

Haha I agree with you, in some way.

Personally, I prefer Bryan Hitch's artwork (and the colors are awesome!) compared to the Tron variant. What I meant was that I think Joe Simon's sig on the Tron variant was the most matching of them all.

Speaking of which, anyone got any Hitch sketches to share?

Just got a bunch of Captain America Books back... these are the top sig books or lone ones in the census....

 

Some of the pics are not great... dumb camera and no scanner at home...

 

Captain America 612 - Tron Variant - 9.8 SS w/Joe Simon.....Only SS book...

 

 

Captain America Reborn #1 - 2nd Printing Variant - 9.8 SS w/Joe Simon.. Only SS book

 

 

Captain America Reborn #1 - Quesada Variant - 9.8 SS w/ Joe Simon... can't find on census.. so posting it anyway.. if I am incorrect, I apologize.. cool book though...

 

 

Captain America Man Out of Time #1 - 9.8 SS w/Joe Simon...only SS book...

 

 

Siege #3 - Del'Otto Captain America Variant Cover...9.8 SS w/Joe Simon.. only SS book...

 

 

Got others back, but are all tied for top in their respective SS... Siege Cap America One shot reg Djurdevic cover and sketch cover, Cap America Patriot #1.. all tied for top SS in census...

Cool books! I like the Cap America Tron variant best! I think Joe Simon used a very complementing color to sign the book!

Woohoo congrats! You sure have loads of foreign love there Liam bud!

That's a cool idea with the fingers

 

Thanks for sharing man

I didn't notice it till you mentioned it

Then again, I only gave a quick glance. haha

I wouldn't store my comics face down. The probability you damage the book (especially if you're not using boards) when picking the books up is so frightening high.

Can someone enlighten me again on why we're cracking slabs apart from saving on space?

Man, that's a tough question. I really don't know who to vote. On one hand, Superman is the Man of Steel. On the other, from what little I know about Hulk, he can only get stronger when he's madder. Then Thor, apparently, can pick up his hammer that no one can.

But that is not brute strength, it's about who's worthy of it right? BUT, if Thor were to lay his hammer on his villain, it's Game Over right?
