  1. Please add the following - Set: Tank Girl Book: A1 #6 (1992) please provide certification number to verify correct series
  2. Quick question for the group - Similar to the "Current Turnaround Times At CGC" thread, what have you found to be the wait time for registry requests?
  3. Judging by your list...NM #98 and silver foil Action #1 gave it away...I can guess the store you're talking about. They now price books via eBay using sold listings. (The raw NM 98 for $325 is more than a joke.) Gone are the glory days of buying books priced via guide. Especially with the 50% sales happening every 6 months. You'll only get the jump on them the day that news breaks; even then you'll be competing against anyone else.
  4. Please add the following - Set: Tank Girl Book: Deadline #1 (1988)
  5. Started this as project after I got back into collecting after a big move and a few 'off' years. Decided what were my Top 50 slabs around December. Everything else could and would eventually go on eBay (or donated). Repurposed (consolidated?) the monies from multiple eBay sales this year into a handful of CGC books. These newly acquired CGC books have now replaced some of the OG 2018/9 Top 50. Rinse, repeat, hanuka matata.
  6. Fantastic idea! It would be wonderful for something like this to be created, nurtured and flourish within the community. The added benefit (and value) for past, present and future signature series enthusiasts (buyers and dealers alike) would be immeasurable.
  7. Thank you so much for responding and also pardon the lack of clarification on my part in my initial post. What I had initially meant to ask was for boardies to provide their process on how they determine value of any rare / one-of-kind books (that they own) when there is no comparable sales data available. (again for insurance purposes, not resell) An example of a book I have that I can't equate a value for is Parker: A Portfolio of Word and Pictures 9.8 signed by Darwyn Cooke. I have other examples, but chose this an extreme due to the fact that this one can not be replaced / replicated.
  8. Howdy, I figured I'd reach out to SS brain-trust in hopes of finding an answer to the question of determining value for rare SS books. I've used the handy search function and found a thread (from around) 2010 with hearty discussion of value as a topic, but not from an insurance / claim perspective. Whilst I may believe my one-of-a-kind book is priceless because the person who signed it has passed away. An insurance company may prefer being able to quantify their payout. Also, if anyone has ever had to file a claim for a rare or one-of-a-kind book - how was your experience? Thank you in advance.
  9. Made an effort to get back into collecting after taking some time away from the hobby. Seems like my year was filled with low-grade keys. I did end up picking up a SS book to (finally) complete my Tank Girl registry set...
  10. Did he ship with the Barrett? If not, where did you get it? He did not. Purchased because I wanted a modern weapon to recreate the cover of ASM 129. link - http://www.blackopstoys.com/catalog/dragon-us-army-sf-gulf-war-scud-hunter-barrett-50-cal-sniper-rifle-p-24728.html anyone know if the rifle shipped with him was made up by sideshow? rest of wall...
  11. new sideshow 1:6 punisher pics so far...
  12. 'it begins...' (just unboxed...more pics coming later)
  13. Great buyer. Fair offer. Paid quickly. Happy to add to the collection. Thank you!
  14. Apparent - Slight (P) off white to white pages Tear seals to cover, spine splits sealed to cover, cover reinforced The book was worked on by Matt and Kenny a few years ago. We discussed the level of work / cost vs ROI with restored books. It was decided to push to maximum 'Slight' with an estimated grade of 4.5
  15. This thread (and the multiple WTB posts) made me realize I never posted my copy on myslabbedcomics... That has been corrected.
  16. Two-part interview with Michel about Copra via 'the Beat'. Very interesting.
