If they handled their sale better, Jerel and his wallet would have went after them instead. If they would have handled their sale better you would have needed a bigger boat... You're both lucky I'm not after this sale, or I'd bump you both out of the running.

I must say I saw a picture of your #1 9.8 and I like it allot better .

If they handled their sale better, Jerel and his wallet would have went after them instead. If they would have handled their sale better you would have needed a bigger boat... Oh no, my bad. I'm sorry. I apologize, it was stupid post I made. I don't want to start a -off here.

I don't have to tell allot of people here, I am a Locke & Key superfan! Currently, I'm even trying to find a Yankee craftsman to build me a "Ghost Door" and frame for my comic room . But, I hear you. I wasn't the biggest fan of the first volume's #5-6 and Head Games #5 myself, once we lost focus on the Locke children. But upon reading all 12 books together again, once Head Games wrapped, I got it more. Joe Hill is a novelist, and he is writing Locke & Key like one giant novel. When this story is complete all the little details Joe and Gabriel put in it throughout since get go, even in parts that "dragged", will make total sense. I for one, believe because how importantly it was written and illustrated, Locke & Key: Crown of Shadows #2 will become an eventual Modern Age "key" myself. The series has had some great issues in the past, but none has ever taken the reader on the emotional rollercoaster COS #2 did. It's unique form of storytelling in that issue will be a major influence in writing in 2010 and beyond, IMHO.

No, but a lock of Lebowski's mighty beard hair will give me excellent credit.

I have to tell you Nick, he is going to pull this auction again. The seller who graded this would have tried to sell this after September after it was graded or at least sold the CGC 9.6 by now. These books are put up here to drum up business for the other in his store that really never hits 9.8. It reminds me of the $6K 9.9 Walking Dead book on eBay now. This book is a monster Copper book, and has huge potential if sold correctly. I said , is a bad word? It is. Saying is offensive? Wow. I won't type it again.

Well, that's a nice way to welcome a long-time lurker/new board member. How sweet!

If you're afraid to bid against William, just say it. Come on Nick, I hang with the Fett. I am no chicken.

I have to be honest, the way the seller didn't respond to emails, makes me not want to do business with him either. So, I'm not going to jump on this one myself. I'll grab the next one . I also have issue with it's soft bottom left corner, especially when you compare it to Chris's. I know this is common with most #1's, but I'm looking for something sharper.

Congratulations on your engagement . Nothing really new here. Same mess, different day in the hobby lately.

Long overdue thanks John, for this awesome signed Christmas card.

A happy belated birthday to you my friend .

Me too. Hey Jerel! Welcome to the boards finally! -William Hi, William! Long time. What's new?

In honor of Lebowski's visit to this thread, here is the only appearance The Goon made in an Locke & Key comic: Locke & Key: Welcome to Lovecraft Special Edition #1 in the back-up Joe Hill story, "Freddy Wertham Goes to Hell".

Me too. Sorry...

GAV!!!

Me too.

Somebody say "heavy hitter" . There's one of them.
