  1. Well what pisses me off about emailing Kara and Tony Moore is I just stated I was interested in spending a bunch of money on prints at an upcoming show, inquired if they would be doing an eBay auction with an offer for a sketch for said show, and then about whether 2 different pages of original art were still available and if so how much. Made it clear in my email that I was looking to drop $1000+ on everything from the prints, sketch and finally original artwork and I can't get a damn response.

     

    Emailed them again 2 weeks later and still never received a response. All I can say is WTF. Pretty horrible way to run a business.

  2. sweet tony is going to be at eccc again :) does he still do sketches anyone ?.. if so how much ?. I hope they bring in more twd guests maybe i will just hold off & wait & see! Getting stuff signed in person is so much better than sending off :)

     

     

     

    I would say email Tony and his wife Kara to inquire about sketches but hell they don't seem to care to respond to emails these days. Even when I asked about buying $500 to $1000 worth of original artwork I can't get a damn response.

     

    Kara will sometimes throw up on eBay an auction for a sketch op at the different conventions so check there also.

     

    Tony is going to be at the Cincy convention coming up next month and I am hoping to get some stuff signed including 3 #19s with solid shots at 9.8s.

  3. Bought a CGC Sig Series signed by McFarlane, Lee and company of Amazing Spiderman #300 from Brian. Item is perfect, shipped perfectly and flawless communication.

     

    Look forward to buying from Brian again and again, at least until the wife cuts me off.

  4. Just have to say wow at the lineup we are going to have here in Cincinnati Ohio in November for the HorrorHound Fest. So far from the Walking Dead we have Norman Reedus, Michael Rooker, Jon Bernthal, Steven Yeun, Emma Bell, Addy Miller and Greg Nicotero.

     

    Kind of shocked such a solid lineup of actors from the show will be there. So any chance of getting a CGC facilitator to be at this show to get some SS comics done up? :)

     

    I can get some Ghostbusters comics signed by Ernie Hudson.

  5. The last few comics have been pretty boring. Think I am going to go back to just reading the trades twice a year so I can get more of an overall storyline read at one time.

     

    Also it is offical my package from Argentina for those Walking Dead comics disappeared en route to the US. If anyone either picked up an extra set of 1-9 or is going to be ordering some soon I would be interested in piggybacking the order. Can pay you upfront via Paypal + the cost to ship them to me. The people at OVNIpress were cool with giving me a refund but I guess I am the first lost shipment they have had and I don't really want to reorder directly from them because they almost didn't seem to believe me.

  6. Posted this over in hardest to find books for 2000 in regards to the issue #48 printing error posted over there.

     

    =======================================================

     

    Ok I have been picking up a bunch of issues on the cheap on eBay. Collections for like $2 a comic or less. Well of the 6 issues 48s I have gotten in the last 5 weeks 1 of them is an error but is different than what is pictured.

     

    Mine is missing pages 1-4 and has pages 5-8 in it twice. The double pages in the back are the Kirkmania.com, 2nd to last and last page of letters, and finally 1st half of tshirt ad.

     

    So Looks like different printing errors are out there.

  7. Never noticed that holiday special was $9.99 cover. Is it like 100 pages?

     

    Anyone know what the print run was on those having a hard time finding one myself.

     

    Also the Argentina printing company responded to me again telling me to wait some more and I should get my order. I received packages sent within the last 10 days from Canada (thanks always Branget) and Australia, but a package sent over 30 days ago from Argentina is still "en route". I doubt it, that package is misshipped or outright gone by now. Gonna have to open a PayPal dispute in 3 days or I will be out of my 45 day window to dispute the purchase. May be looking for a set of 1-9 from Argentina if anyone has a set still for sale.

     

    Also ordered 2 copies of that SDCC exclusive for $7.99 each but I agree that is an ugly cover for San Diego.

  8. Paid for my Argentina Walking Dead comics on June 3rd and I am still waiting for them to be delivered. Hope I don't have to open a PayPal dispute during the 45 day window.

     

    Having no luck on shiat being shipped to me anymore this year.

     

     

    shipping from argentina is a major pain. the shipper has to jump through hoops to just have the box (or in this case, heavy paper packages) leave the country. it is the shipping, not that the books haven't shipped yet i'm sure. did you contact the publisher to find out the status?

     

     

    Yeah they were shipped out about 23 days ago according to the publisher.

  9. Sucks to waste your time in this type of situation. I drove to buy a collection of Magic the Gathering cards off someone via a Craigslist type transaction about 6 weeks ago. My drive time round trip was 3 hours. The guy didn't even have the whole collection with him at the time and now wants me to meet up with him again to finalize some sort of deal.

     

    What pissed me off is he wouldn't just sell me everything that he had brought with him and I could offer to buy the rest another time. Nope insisted he sells it as one collection. I even tried to get him to sell me just a handful of cards to cover my time and gas but nope. He insisted on letting me borrow the cards. Good thing is I got about $150 worth of cards to cover my time and gas, and if we don't complete the deal and I drive there again I will be deducting my time and gas from those cards.

     

    On a side note my wife says Branget needs to be put on some sort of list so he is prohibited from selling me anymore Walking Dead goodies. Little does she know I plan to spend a lot more during the summer on stuff from him hopefully.

  10. Hawkman did you order those directly? If so how long did it take to get them? I am still waiting on my order from them.

     

    How is the condition?

     

    I ordered mine on the day the link to order them directly was posted in this thread. They just came in this week so yours should arrive any day too.

     

    My #1 is a solid 9.6+ but was unbagged. The rest were VF though, and the #2 was Fine at best. The comics were put in a bag, then in an envelope. No protection.

     

    Still, for the price I can't complain, plus I'm glad the one book in great shape was the #1. (thumbs u

     

     

    Did you try and get ahold of the website and complain about the conditions? If the ones I get are in beat up condition due to poor shipping / packaging I paid by Paypal and I will file a complaint if they don't make it right.

     

    My big pet peeve right now is people shipping comics in a manner that they get damaged. 2 for 2 on eBay auctions this week for raw comics being shipped in a manner that they were damaged.

     

  11. Well I read the first trade of this which I believe covered the first 5 issues. Kind of on the fence on whether I want to continue on.

     

    This wasn't at all what I was expecting, but I never looked into the storyline before jumping into the trade. It is interesting to say the least.

     

     

  12. Wondering if another Board Member is the one who keeps going up against me for NM issues of #19 on eBay. I see you have feedback of 253 to my 1004. :)

     

    Hope you are getting eBay cashback, CC cashback and MrRebates cashback to take full advantage of moneyback programs.

     

     

    Wish there wasn't any competition for that issue though I want to collect a few dozen copies before season 2 starts and the price goes crazy which is seems to have already.

     

    lol lol

     

    Are you the man for copies of issue #19? Would love to see a picture of like 50+ copies of these laid out. Would be even sexier than some of the pics of #1 issues from Branget.

     

     

    Also special thanks to Branget for my first purchase from him. My 9.8 of #19 is a great addition to the collection. Good mail day for Walking Dead since I got that, some Serbian issues, #50 Superhero Variant and the Weekly #1 Arizona variant.

    .

     

     

    No nothing like that. Your comments just made me laugh. They sounded kind of wanky. I have my OO copy that is about 9.4 and a 9.8 SS copy.

     

    Yeah my comment sounded a little worse than wanky. Started drinking a little too early tonight and am stuck at home with a sick wife.

     

    So what I ment to say was I want zero competition from other board mems. Damnit collude with me not against me.

    Now if the frames I order 45 days ago from FrameItAgainSam ever come through I will be happy as hell.

    there goes me getting my money back out of the last set. i paid $20 each issue before he made them available worldwide

     

    Was that your set on eBay for $200 or make an offer? Sucks , you win some and lose some.

  16. So I am interested in getting into this series and am way late to the party. What is my best option? I know if I go with the trades I will then end up wanting 1st printings of the actual comics because that is how the collector in me works.

     

    So anyone looking to sell some 1st print issues in VF to NM issue? :)
