  1. Hi All :hi: It's been awhile and I HAVE A BOOK FOR YOU!!!

    Forum rules apply, no HOS members.

    Will Sell ONE book ONLY!  Some consider this a GHOST and others a GRAIL... I call it SILVER SURFER BLACK #2 Sketch Virgin Variant!!  

    First :takeit:wins.

    Payment is by Paypal and all pricing includes Priority Shipping for the US and Insurance.

    International buyers are welcome but will pay exact shipping.

    This book was handed out at San Diego Comic Con by C B Cebulski to lucky fans at a Marvel Panel!  You are looking at one of the MOST Sought after MODERNs to date and it's available for sale here on the boards.  

    It's the ONLY book on the census and it's signed by Donny Cates!! You'll probably never see this book again as all are locked away in collections!  Rumor has it, there's only 25 of these comics made.     

    I"m currently looking at $10,000.00  $8,000 USD OBO!  I'm basing the price on rarity! I've never seen one at auction or sale anywhere.  Without further adieu, Silver Surfer Black #2 Sketch Virgin Variant graded CGC 9.8 and Signed by DOnny Cates!!

  2. Personally, I do like the Emma Frost cover.  I do think it's the best of the bunch so far.  I did pick up the Poison Ivy/Harley books as well as the recently announced Black Widow ones. 

    Not a fan of the DCeased #1 Harley Cover or the Red Sonja/Vamp/Betty/Veronica Covers.    I think there's a market for this artist short term and only time will tell if there's any long term collectibility to this artist.  

    As always, collect what you like!!!

     

  3. I have a number of Stan Lee sigs that are CGC'd on books that he didn't write, but those books are synonymous with his name.  For example, I have a number of Copper & Modern Amazing Spider-Mans that he signed for me, because when you think Spider-Man, you think Stan Lee.  I know I'm not the only one who thinks this.  And it's true for me.  Growing up in the 80s/90s, when I heard Stan Lee, I immediately thought Marvel and vice versa.  So, maybe this is a generational thing?

    As for some of the other Stan Lee signed books, I am guilty of getting a "non-Stan" book signed (using non-Stan in quotes since I still think Marvel and Stan are one in the same, please don't hate me).  For example, I do have an Edge of Spider-Verse #2 signed by Stan.  I did it because he helped create/write Gwen Stacy even though he had no hand in creating this particular version of that character, Spider-Gwen. 

    I know it may not make sense to others, but it does to me, and that's the whole point of collecting.  You collect/get what you like.  

    Now as far as holding or selling, at this point, I'm a hold.  I plan on holding for awhile as I'm not in a hurry to sell those books at this time, but if I need the cash, I may.  Again, you should do what you want based on need.  Other have pointed this out in this thread as well.

    The analyzer at trends.google.com doesn't allow me to combine the two different names into one result, however, when I ran them individually, each got very similar results. This means there isn't a deluge of people exclusively referring to her by the new name instead of Spider-Gwen.

    Cool!  Thanks for checking.

    I have a tendency to base my forecasting on Google Trend analysis, which gives a little insight into the zeitgeist for these characters. Here are the search trends for these characters today:

    Can you also add Ghost-Spider as well since they're changing Spider-Gwen's character to that.  Might see a little uptick.

    What do other collectors think about these, what do you call them, cover reprints?  I have seen cover swaps & homage covers now this, is there no originality or just another gimmick to sell like all these variant covers.  But wait, these are also variant covers so reprint variant covers? I am not going to lie that Hughes Captain Marvel Covers was on my short list, I own the GI Joe #2.

    Not a fan of these "variants of variants".... I own both copies in their original "form"... Don't understand why'd they do this?!  It just seems wrong...

    The books did come with a kind of warping that I see a lot in new books so I did a low heat press on both of them and got some good results.  Hope this helps if you guys decide to grade your copies.

    I just submitted the same book, but mine did have the "production" issue on the bottom left.  I'm hoping they are generous with their grading for me... :wishluck:
