  1. I didn’t see an auction at those dates in the upcoming auctions schedule
  2. @Mmehdy Can you link to the HA page with the 40 preview pieces please? I cannot find it on my own.
  3. Do not do the tape IMO. Use the corners. Bring them to him if you have to, it is your art not his.
  4. scheduled for grading! Doctor Strange 169 6/68 Marvel Comics X-Men 4 3/64 Marvel Comics Avengers 57 10/68 Marvel Comics Mystery in Space 23 12/54-1/55 D.C. Comics Rangers Comics 36 8/47 Fiction House Boy Comics 6 10/42 Lev Gleason Publications Archie Comics 14 5-6/45 MLJ Magazines Planet Comics 50 9/47 Fiction House Let's see how my banana feels when I get the grades back!
  5. I myself don’t have stock in any of the motion picture companies so I base success or failure on if I enjoyed the movie
  6. First part yes, but I think second part no. Motivation is a prime determinant in subsequent behavior, and the different motivations impact the market in different ways.
  7. Well, first off it makes the deals "different", which is what I was addressing. And it isn't a hypothetical, we know what happened to the book in the example and that it was flipped (assuming we take his word for it, which I see no reason to not do.)
  8. I send my books to joeypost who brings them directly to CGC. Thankfully they fixed the only book that I have had damaged in the slabbing process without hassle.
  9. That is no where near the entirety of the possible responses. Discussion is used to generate thoughts and ideas. People may or may not modify their behavior in response to the discussion, modified behavior may be a solution as well that you did not address. Your solutions give all the power and control to others, buyers can and do impact seller behavior. Transparency is a powerful force, not all powerful obviously.
  10. well, I don't think he got the deal you wanted as he paid $900 and you wanted it at $800. And you wanted to buy a comic to keep and your flipper wanted to buy a comic to sell at a higher price as he perceives value well above $1000, which you stated everyone agreed with but he clearly does not. I also think there are a ton of other assumptions in your scenario. But the auction record is a factual concrete detail and we can see where the bid would have been without that one bidder.
  11. Yes, but the flip side (see what I did there) is that had the flipper not purchased the book to flip then the price would likely have been lower and perhaps much lower. Then the flipper adds his flipping flipness to it and it is sky high. But now the prior sale is evidence of "fmv" when all it is was evidence of deep flipping pockets. There is no right or wrong here, just different approaches. I see more than one lesson in your scenario, I see a lesson of bid what you are comfortable at and another book will be along shortly to gobble up your dollars.
  12. Please PM any further interest. Thank you for the sales, some books have already shipped!
  13. Annette Being as the Kree Supreme Intelligence. That is a surprise. She may be an older woman now but all I see is The Grifters whenever she shows up. I may have to watch that again.
  14. Just click on the images on the site and you’ll see the prices I think they’re pretty fair and Mitch is aces in my book
  15. I never read chromium man but I’m a big fan of Adam Pollina. His later run on X force was spectacular
  16. Glad he got his book back. Now if he can only get the $1400 for it!
  17. I laughed again just now when I came back to the thread. Great that it is at the top of the page!
  18. As I have said before, people's feelings are not a playground. That means that I do not believe that this is an appropriate topic for discussion.
  19. I made an offer to a buyer with the new feature and he bought it immediately! Groovy baby, real groovy!
  20. I got Chris' first painted color commission back in the day, Loki and Asgardian Storm. I had paid for the b/w but he decided to switch to color at the time my commission came up. Long since sold, on clink It went for $435 on 8/29/13.
  21. Well, both races seem to be on Earth. I didn;t say anything about the Kree-Skrull War though. Captain Marvel comes home on the Kree mission, realizes she is from Earth, and fights to defend her old/new home from alien invasion. Her flying around in space doesn't matter to me, it is superfluous I think. But like I said, I am going to give it a chance as I like the looks of what I have seen so far by and large.
  22. I think that the CM trailer looks good. The fight with the old woman skrull on the train is great and I want to see that. I am not as excited about the outerspace parts myself but you cannot have it all. I love that Monica Rambeau is in it, even as an Easter egg perhaps, and look forward to the Jude Law character kickin' names and takin' azz! My wife told me that he was asked at a press junket if he was portraying Captain Marvel and replied that no, Brie Larson is Captain Marvel. But call it what you will, I hope all 3 are Captain Marvel! (I have a soft spot for Photon, even if she was an Avenger during the lame Dr. Druid led team!)
