  1. When you see Lichtenstein's interpretations versus the originals, he wasn't very good and didn't make them better.
  2. I searched Bratukhin and didn't see any but searching deathstroke inc 10 variant I saw the 2 in lots but they are $150...beyond that the prices go up even more...for a recent 1:10
  3. I don't see any of the deathstroke cover on ebay...those are tough
  4. You mean the wave? Isn't it just a peak...the graph of the peak doesn't move... I had to google Mexican wave...strange something so American was misappropriated...
  5. Kid Colt 208 has been tough for me, and seems really to be the hardest to find of the 30 centers. I have a nice one but have looked for another one for over a decade. Weird Wonder Tales 15? I have 4 or 5...or 6...
  6. I forget the specifics but isn't comicchron just the west coast portion of direct distribution? Or something like that?
  7. I see no need to grade my copy. I have thought about grading my IF 14 and SW 1, although admittedly, I haven't graded those books either. And I was a lurker before I was a member My point with that is, without Howard the Duck 13 and Kiss appearances having the appeal of first Sabretooth, or first Star Wars, many more copies of those other 2 books are graded in general. I have seen more copies than the one I have but am focusing on other 35ers to complete my set rather than get more duplicates. It felt like this needed census numbers. HTD 13 has 736 universal and 23 universal price variants IF 14 has 6124 universal and 67 universal price variants SW 1 has 14065 universal and 275 universal price variants Percentagewise, HTD has the highest ratio of price variants to regular issues graded, despite having the fewest graded copies of the three. Do you think of Howard the Duck 13 as a valuable comic? It is nice among the keys of the 35 cent price variants, but isn't Logan's Run 6, for instance, harder-to-find and more valuable? Price variants are the main thing I collect. It looks to me like most copies that are graded are by completists or resellers (if the grade is high). I didn't check the averages but I would assume SW 1 has the lowest average grade, then IF 14 and then HTD 13. I'd be curious to see that actually but I don't have time right now. What is your threshold for grading a comic? I don't usually do it unless it is in the $1,000's...your threshold may be lower but I am sure for a lot of people it is not. I don't have a few hundred thousand to drop on grading fees, so it is only the best of my best that I submit. I have boxes of 35 cent variants but the only ones I have graded were ones graded by someone else and not submitted by me. How long do I have to be on here to not be fairly new?!?
  8. Value is what gets price variants graded. Howard the Duck 13 has a good amount and IF 14 has a lot, as does SW 1 as compared to 2-4, but why mention them when showing the diamond variants? In my experience, Howard the Duck 15 was the hardest 35 cent price variant to find, but all the Howards are tough. SW 1 and Marvel Super Action 2 seem to be among the most plentiful, but much, much harder-to-find than the diamond variants.
  9. Another "Pop" Hollinger rebuilt comic, by the looks of it.
  10. I was surprised this didn't go for more Mystery Tales 19
