  1. Apparently you haven't been paying attention to Lucio Parrillo's work.
  2. I still like my theory that the 5/78 copies were damaged, and the 11/78 copies were retailer replacements.
  3. Some people collect those variety packs, but you can't open them or they're not wanted. So finding out the condition of the one book you want is impossible without buying the pack, and at that price I'll pass. Also, if you don't buy it, it's a gem mint, and if you do buy it, it's a rag. Either way you lose.
  4. It's a good thing I didn't post my #15 brake shoe variant. Wipe your chin.
  5. Well, here's my Red Sonja #10 CGC 9.8 White Pages with Alternator Variant. I bet you know who doesn't have one of these.
  6. You're absolutely right. I can't handle a stupid price. Might as well start purchasing my earlier idea of Red Sonja with used auto parts variants. Can I have a registry set, anyone?
  7. Man, how long they been trying to sell those, and no one has bought either one? If they really wanted to sell them they'd come down on the BIN price, or just start the bidding at 99 cents. I've seen books sit for months with somewhat high asking prices, and then the seller will finally do a no reserve sale. Many times they get more than what they were asking for. Still, for an ungraded Red Sonja that price is a little high. I think My Comic Shop has one for $171.00. Crazy. I just don't see the draw, or any of them selling for these amounts. I know they're rare, but what's rarer are people that want them. Especially in less than highest graded.
  8. It's alright. Nowhere near as sexy, and the artwork isn't as good. Action is toned down a bit too. The worst part about it is that they changed her outfit. Instead of the chain mail bikini, they gave her a one piece blue cloth outfit. Kinda goofy, but it's still Red Sonja, I guess.
  9. If you read, "Shadow of the Vulture" by R.E. Howard, the source from which Red Sonja was derived, you would meet Red Sonya of Rogatino. Not your average female to be sure. A fiery tempered wench without the capacity for mercy. Roy Thomas had a lot to live up to. Especially after changing the spelling and setting of our heroine to Conan's time. No doubt the pressure was on to make her worthy of the appearance.
  10. ! I guess. I don't think they pay too much attention over there. Someone did pick up the SS #7 off of there. There are now ten 9.8's for #7. Two are SS. I know three are are registered. One to Dr. Mengele, one to Cheetah, and one to Rich Henn. So that leaves seven unaccounted for. Keep your eyes peeled.
  11. The bid on the #2 is me, and that was over a year and a half ago. Still it sits there waiting for a good home. I got mine for even less, so I definitely wasn't going to pay what they're asking. You can get Hitman's #2 off eBay for less as well. Although it's upside down in the CGC slab, it's still a 9.8 WP. CGC will reslab it for free.
  12. I get you on this one. i decided to start getting Red Sonjas because no one really collects Red Sonja that much and she's just a great character for me. Yep, that's why we collect her too. Wait and see what happens if someone puts up a #7 or #8 in 9.8 though. It could get ugly. comic colecting is FUN!!!

  14. You should have no problem finding full runs of both Marvel Feature Vol. 2 and Red Sonja in decent enough reader copy shape for $15.00 to $20.00 each. That's what I do, and just keep the best ones for my reader copy collection. Then I just give away or trash the really bad ones. Keep in mind that these aren't collected like Spider-Man or X-Men, and no one is killing themselves to get these. There are a few collectors who will pay when a 9.8 comes along that they need, but for the most part, the ones we already have don't go for that much, and end up sitting on eBay for years without so much as a bite. Especially issues 2-6. You could get all five of those in 9.8 right now for less than $100.00 each on eBay as we speak. So don't be fooled if you see one go for more at auction. Like that Marvel Feature Vol. 2 #3 on HA a few months back. It's just two or three of us fighting over one we don't have. If you want investment grade mint books you have to buy them already graded to be safe, and if you're looking for reader copies no more than a dollar or two each. Anything in between is pointless for these.

  16. this will go for $50 my guess but be warned the fees are alot http://comics.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=121246&lotNo=13159 nice red sonja cover Never could understand why they would penalize the buyer with that "buyer's premium" BS. Wonder what they charge the seller? They collect off the front end as well as the back end so they get you commin' and goin'. Yikes!
  17. Check out these lovely CGC screw-ups. Read the titles carefully, and pay close attention to the dates. http://www.ebay.com/itm/230876124253?afsrc=1 http://www.ebay.com/itm/330822135947?afsrc=1
  18. Yeah, I know. Trying to save my scratch to fill these holes in my Bronze stuff. If anything ever comes around, that is.
  19. There's nothing I'm looking for that's available out there. It's getting pretty tight. Might have to start collecting Shanna The She Devil. Oh wait, there's none of those either. .
  20. Not sure I understand why you have three months for each issue. Aren't they all from 5/78?
