BKV and his damn cliffhangers....

win so hard

Doug is not impressed

I was just told the same thing - that Jeff is only signing at the CBLDF booth and it's $30/signature. I'm a CBLDF member and don't mind supporting them, but $30/signature is outrageous - my books will probably end up unsigned as well ... Yeah, I heard about this a few weeks ago with the private signing that Jake was trying to arrange. I'm with you Michael, I don't mind if he charges a little for a good cause like CBLDF but $30 is way over the top. From what I understand, this was all CBLDF's doing so I don't know how much input he had on the matter. I feel bad for the kids who probably looked forward to meeting him and getting their color TPBs signed. From all the stories I've ever heard about Jeff, he's always gone out of his way to sign everybody's books for free. I think this is definitely a first. At the cbldf signing, Jeff only charged $5 per book (but $30 per comic). Kids with TPBs didn't have much of an issue, I'd imagine.

Some London books were also received on the 6th

I emailed CGC back and forth when the book came out and sent scans of a numbered one. I guess whoever told me it would get a green may have been wrong. You may be right, I just can't find it either way. The official statement on green labels mentions sigs but not hand numbering. E-mail Michael Balent :-)

Picked up my print from there shipping is pricey but its worth every penny same here. I ordered a 9.8 from Ryan when he had his up. I wanted to see what the book was like inside which is why I ordered the raw. Your 9.8 slab should be in my hands soon. Books have been graded, but have not hit the magical shipped/safe point yet :-) thanks Ryan! No, thank YOU to everyone who bought one.

I am still waiting for my NYCC moderns from Oct 11-14. Some of these have started to come back. I got 2 of my 4 regular track submissions back from NYCC. I imagine that many will be mailed this week :-) This was the last major show of 2012. Maybe they will be able to cut TATs a bit :-)

Fast Track Moderns: Invoiced: 3/5 Shpped/Safe: 3/19 10 business days on the money. My regular moderns... just got one of my NYCC invoices back today. Waiting on a couple more.

The books i bought arrived promptly and well packed. Thank you.

Rucka's the man. I'm in

Very fast payment and great communication. Thank you for your business (and for starting my kudos thread). Ryan

I also got an unsigned pack. Nice score, Alex

My friend has received 2 of his subs from NYCC. A lot have been sitting on graded for a bit.

That page is awesome

Dave sold me 2 books for $40 shipped. Both arrived as advertised and quickly.

While I wish that Revat would have hand delivered my books to my office, I will happily settle for great, quick shipping and as advertised books. An absolute pleasure.

That's where you set expectations. I know people are busy, but sellers should know that going in and relay that to their customers. It sounds like the B767293 PM'd Adonis 1-2 months ago about the sketch and that Adonis never replied. While things do come up, Adonis is on the boards frequently and could have easily answered the PM. IMO, B767293 was more than patient given the circumstances and had every reason to bring it up here. I think it would actually be helpful for B767293 to post again and explain whether or not he and Adonis have reached an amenable agreement. If so, it seems like this has run its course.

Modern Fast Track Invoice Date: 1/22/2013 Shipped/Safe: 2/8/2013

Us CAW Slaves must stand together...

I'm the one who should But since Paul Pope's career started in 1995, a cover from 1997 could accurately be called a...vintage Paul Pope cover. Sorry, Jimmy. What's funny, too, about that Batman cover is that the seller never thought he'd get $5K for it. That's a record for a Paul Pope cover. I know the seller and he was asking for offers before putting it on eBay. He would have sold it for a lot less, but no one stepped up. $10K for a Paul Pope cover is not supported by market facts, nor is $10K for anything SAGA. So I don't think anyone can so readily proclaim the Ghost variant cover is an "easy" $10K. But, again, all it takes is one. I think that it's the absence of data that makes this whole argument fun. I don't think that it's beyond the realm of possibility that this is the only saga OA that will ever be released/exist. As such, there are no real comps. This also makes the exercise entirely unsatisfying because no one can be wrong or right. For fun though (and because you're local and generally awesome), Felix- I'll bet you dinner at Chez Pannisse or Gary Danko that the ghost variant sells for over 7.5k if it goes in sale in the next 9 months. Agreed. But the number was $10K. Make it $10K, and you're on. You said 5k was market. Would 8.5k work for you :-) Actually, I never said what the market is for this cover. I just said it wasn't $10K;) You, however, agreed with Jimmy's $10K...so $10K is the number. I would call that a good bet. BTW, while this Pope piece is the only published OA in existence for SAGA, that's just FOR NOW. It's a temporary situation. The variant cover program isn't going away. With SAGA being an ongoing, I suspect there will be more variant covers by guest artists in the future. So anyone paying $10K for the Pope cover with the expectation that it will be the only SAGA OA cover EVER...I would call that a bad bet. Fine. Per e-mail, we have a bet at 10k

Did we just lose some linguini posts?
