  1. Anyone look into this more? Can you only buy one copy in the presale or can you buy more? In the email he says he is promising one copy but does not say how many you can purchase.

     

    1 copy for presale.

     

    Thanks. I didn't see a time listed for when you could purchase more either.

  3. If they follow the release pattern of the action figures then Yoda would be coming up in another 5 to 10 covers. But having a Thanoth cover makes me wonder now.....

     

    I'm a little surprised they did Thanoth before Aphra or her droids. Perhaps he plays a big part in the story arc.

  4. Issue 17 is the first silver age book I ever owned. I bought it on a family trip to Cooperstown around 91/92. It was in a back alley comic shop and I literally scrounged every penny I had brought with me on the trip to buy it. (It was the most expensive book I could afford). It was a life changing experience and set me on the course I am on today to complete my X-Men set from beginning to end.

  5. anyone getting his Black Panther cover...it's up for sale now on his site....i'll bet getting a 9.8 on this one will be difficult..

    I'm getting 25 of them.

     

    Nice. Did you ever get an answer to what the print run is for each book?

     

    (tsk)

     

    :sorry:

     

    Actually, this kinda bothers me. It's nice to know something is limited, but limited can also be a limitless number. There really was not enough demand for the Boba B & W as some people were drawing the line on colourless covers.

  6. I am done with a-hole, 90% of his books arrive damaged. Then he cops an attitude when you return them. :screwy: Who cares how limited the print run is, when most are damaged due to poor packing skills. (shrug)

     

    But he said he learned from his mistakes...

     

    "We learned a lot from both our previous books, and we hope we can apply some of that knowledge in making these next 2 a smoother process for everybody. Your feedback has been taken to heart. We heard the things you asked for and the way you want the process to work."

  7. Hey guys, been lurking the site for a while, made my account a few months ago, but this is my first post on the site - I apologize if this is being posted in the wrong place.

     

    A little about myself. I'm a 27 year old graduate student, been collecting ASM for about the past 15 years (although in a more serious mode for the past 10 years). Started off by picking up basically any issue, then started to move onto the more valuable stuff, and as the years went by I began to focus more and more on the lower number issues. Currently, my 'top' issue would be a 6.0 ASM 5, though I am proud to own a nearly complete issue 12-450 run.

     

    The reason I am posting in this thread, is to seek advice from the members of the club I hope to someday be a part of. For about the past 5 years, AF15 has become more and more an obsession for me - while at the same time appearing further and further out of grasp. Between soon to be kicking in student loans, a wedding in the next year, and moving onto my PhD, the day that I have a spare $7,000-10,000 to pick up a copy is looking far away.

     

    As of late, I have been contemplating if it would be wise to cash out a majority of my collection (or trade), for an AF15. While it would be hard to part with certain issues, I feel that financially it might be the best option. Any suggestions if this would be a wise move on my part?

     

    The other, more crazy idea, that I have been contemplating is attempting to take out a personal investment loan, attempting to grab a copy for a good price, and flip for a small markup (then repeat the process, until I am able to repay the loan + purchase a book). Has anyone gone about getting into high end books like this?

     

    Ending my long post, I am just looking for suggestions on what might be some reasonable ways to obtain this Holy Grail, given my situation.

     

    Thanks for any suggestions,

    Joseph

     

    Advice: Don't get married. It would make getting the money for the AF15 impossible... especially if you add kids on top. The AF15 will never let you down or give you a chore list.

     

    Selling or trading your collection to go all in on one book might work. Depends what you have and what the value is.

  8. I think they are following the original format of when they released the action figures. (shrug)

    So Yoda or the Emperor would not appear for a while if this is correct.

     

    Thank you!!! I was starting to get angry but if they are following release order then feel a little better

     

    Yes, this makes a lot more sense now.
