    What is your Modern Comic Grail?

    in Modern Age Comic Books

    Posted

    Thanks guys, I was utterly shocked to say the least.  Almost as shocked when it arrived damaged.  There's a long crack along the back of the slab, doesn't seem to affect the book, but this keeps happening to me this year.  This is the 3rd one and NONE of the shippers are to blame as the books have all been super well packed.  SMH @ USPS.  Seller offered a partial refund to reholder it so it'll be a while before I can add it to my sig line.

    Ah man. That green label doesn't match the rest of your collection. I'll take it off your hands for you!

    jk! That's an awesome steal!

    It's my first green label ever, and the only one I said I'd ever own should the opportunity arise.  I guess 4 people on the census got lucky that CGC messed up the label and gave them Unis or they didn't have the remark on the back.  O well I don't mind it in this case, tbh.  At least its not an unwitnessed sig!

    I believe the points I made at the end of my post were what I was getting at in terms of why I think its justified.

    Has anyone who actually owns the book chimed in to say they are disappointed in their purchase because they think their purchase was manipulated? Or, is everyone who is complaining, people who dont actually own the book?

    Market value is complex and trying to narrow down one book's value to a couple specific sales seems to be a little narrow in terms of determining that value. If there were a lot of people complaining that their purchases were influenced by them, maybe I would be more inclined to believe it. But, a few people who dont own the book just complaining about a possible shady eBay user, Im not persuaded. If you guys own the book, I stand corrected though.

    I don't think the market is being manipulated, however I do fully listen to the "haters", what they have to say and why they are saying it.  They have some solid points to think about and consider, which I've done and I still decided to spend $3.4K on the book last year.  Could the "haters" be right?  Yes, absolutely.  People are *spoon*holes, especially when it comes to money, but I don't think it applies to this book (yet?), imho.

    Seems pretty straight forward to me. 

    Todd McFarlane has been working for some time to bring his comic book character Spawn to the big screen once again. Now, it looks like he’ll be able to do that, signing with Blumhouse Productions, the company behind recent hit horror films Get Out, Paranormal Activity, The Purge, and Split.

    McFarlane made the announcement alongside Tusk director Kevin Smith with a Facebook Live video earlier today, saying that the film was no longer theoretical: “we’re now making movies.”

    20 years after the first live-action Spawn movie hit theaters, a new one is officially in the works from Todd McFarlane. The famed comic book artist and creator took to Facebook to announce that he has teamed up with Get Out producer Jason Blum‘s Blumhouse Productions to make a new, R-rated Spawn movie. Get the details below.

    The first draft of the film’s --script is complete. In the Facebook video, McFarlane says “the ink is just dry, and we’ve gone from the theoretical – no more theoretical. We’re now making movies. We’re going. Blumhouse, Spawn, badass, R [rating], it’s coming, get ready for it! We’re going into production.” No word on exactly when the movie will begin shooting, or when we’ll hear any casting news, but this must be an exciting time to be a Spawn fan.

     

    Sounds great to me :banana:

    There is a Ultimate fallout 4 variant cgc 9.8 on eBay. Am curious what the ending price would me.

    Sky's the limit?  It'd be bonkers if it ended around $1,800 tho, but I'd be okay wi'dat.

    1st Spider-Gwen Land variant looks to have taken off a bit, $900-ish in 9.8 recently hm

    This listing was ended by the seller because the item was lost or broken.

    Dang, sucks for them. There would have gotten some nice cash. Maybe they can find it?

    Your list is right @Jaydogrules, 608 needs to be #1, good call.

    When will the "This Score Needs Fixing" Thread be fixed?

    That thread has been locked for nearly 13 months now, and there are certainly some scores that still need to be looked at. Today I noticed that my CGC 6.5 Flash #139 was worth a measly 46 points, or roughly $10 per registry point earned based on recent values.

    Please update us as to when we can start complaining about registry scores again. lol

    I thought it wasn't supposed to be based on values? (shrug)  If so, then I have a laundry list of books to get updated lol
