I'm fine for now, thanks

Isn't that the one that just got purchased, what less than a month ago with the questionable top right hand corner?

Eh, I could see somebody doing something with the character but probably not Disney. I think they probably look at the catalog they have and think they probably have better options ahead of a sequel.

Impactful - if you had to pick one cover out of all the Dave Stevens Covers that floats your boat more than any others which would it be? ::

So I finally found that unique item I was looking for around the house. Back when I was in college a friend of mine gave me a couple of cds and I've held on to this one more because it has a rip-off from Dave's Planet Comics # 1 than the fact it is a bootleg CD of a Dave Matthews Band concert. Somebody probably made a little money off of this without giving any back to either Dave! The back has a little picture of Ming the Merciless, not sure where it's from ::

What was old is new again apparently!

and look what was waiting in the mail when I got home today... It's been a good 4 days.

So! Day 3 of Heroes was a success as well! I came out of there with Dave books everyday! In total I found a DNAgents cover, a Girl Crazy Cover, a Crossfire & Rainbow Elvis cover, and a Madman back cover. The Girl Crazy might just be grade worthy too. I actually saw it on Friday but decided to wait until Sunday to try and grab it to see if I could get it at bargain and got it for half price. None of these were in the dollar boxes guys.... I think we've been found out. I didn't pay more than $3 for any of them but these things are starting to get pulled or just not put in the boxes anymore.

Oh, my bad...there was a dealer at Heroes that had two separate prints for sale and I'm pretty sure it was the ones you referenced too. He had them up in his display but I know I can't touch those so I just didn't even go there.

Yeah, I saw those too. Wasn't he asking like a $1,000? Signed and numbered?

That's probably it. I talked to a couple of people that basically said they just don't bother to put them in there because most people these days don't even know who Dave Stevens is. Such a shame.....

Never hurts to ask does it? :thumbsup:

Yeah, there's an echo in here....

Looks like they went up in price! $14.99 each now...

Oh, that's a gotta have. I'll see if anyone is going to have this at Heroes....

Yep saw it too but I'm chasing rabbits right now.

They have been up there for a while now. Other than that everyone has been a little skittish about them. Either a too good to be true or a great deal that is out there for someone willing to take the risk.

Oh, and congrats to whomever got the Starslayer 9.8 today!

Any original piece from Dave would be a grail of mine but it's just not a good time for me to bid on something like that.

I'm not that cool yet

That makes sense. I should probably try that method myself. My paypal balance might be a little more in the black than it currently is if I did.

I've only been at this since December of last year so I have little clue when it comes to grading. I basically just look at the book and try to find the ones that have as few as possible things that I would mark off for. That seems to work to some extent but I've had at least one book in every order that I missed totally. And when I say miss I mean by a lot. Everything else comes out within 1 to 2 grades but I seem to always have one book where I must have dozed off or been watching House.... Right now I'm trying my best to weed through what I want to get graded and what should be graded and trying to limit my order at Heroes to less than 20. When I get the ones back I sent in April I will be putting 6 of the 15 up for sale. It wasn't intentionally that way, I just missed the grades by one spot or more and think somebody else might want them cheap. Probably for less than what it cost me to get them graded because a couple of books made up for it with nice grades and as long as that happens I'm fine with getting less back from the others. As long as I break even and wind up with some nice books how can I be losing?

Heavy hitters! Nice adds!

Ok, I kept quite all night so you can't have my Hulk 340. That was some awesomeness right there giving away those books Shark :thumbsup:

Man, I talk too much 801 posts? Wow.
