The XMEN Blue has a much higher print run than the Xmen Gold...

The website has identical print runs for Blue and Gold... where are you getting this info?

I'm surprised the 3-cover sets of Gold are still available. I thought they "sold out" last weekend?

Also surprised the 3-cover Blue sets are available... after almost 2 and 1/2 hours available....

Don't like it, don't use it?   How many posts don't add substance around here...just sayin'

This was my thought exactly.

Besides, it makes me feel good when people "like" my posts.

That could be a fun game NamesJay.  I applaud your perseverance. Give us an example of the type of game you have in mind, if only to see how long it takes someone to the answer? Maybe it will inspire a more enthusiastic response. 

Sure thing... I'll post something tomorrow afternoon and a link here with the "first installment"

Is Billie Piper going to be here this year?

Mine is arriving from UPS tomorrow and I can't wait 

Recreation of 'The Menace of Trap Jaw' mini comic from the Masters of the Universe toy line.

I believe Rob is still taking commissions -- can't emphasize enough how awesome this piece is!

Super excited to get this commission from Rob Guillory! He KILLED it with this piece.

This is a recreation from the Masters of the Universe mini-comic line that was inserted in with action figures.

MODERN: Invoice Date: 2/27/2017 -- Shipped Safe: 3/14/2017

MODERN PRESCREEN: Invoice Date: 3/14/2017 -- Current Status: Verified

So, based on responses and feedback here, I won't be the one to revive the PIF thread.

Alternatively, I'm going to begin a new thread with a "comic based game" with the winner of the game receiving a prize. 

Rules:

1) If you "win" you have to create your own game and offer a prize. The game could be as simple as a trivia question, but in the spirit of the contest, the harder the game, the better the prize should be. 

2) Must specify whether International members are allowed to participate. Or if there is an expectation of helping with shipping charges...

3) There should be a level of effort in producing the game. Nothing like "Who created Amazing Spider-Man?" Don't create a question that can be 'solved' by a Google search in under a minute.

4) It doesn't matter what VALUE your prize is. There is no need to offer a prize of equal value to the previous game runner. This will hopefully alleviate the issues with the PIF thread.

Before I begin the thread, "what say you?" 

 maybe a loose action figure trading thread :-)

Love that 1st Riddler!

Boos are now on the 'bay with low starting bids.

That's a big help. Thank you so much!

What's the to and from zip codes and the weight of the package?

It sounds like you might be looking at "Flat Rate" prices. Look for the price quote under "Priority Mail 2-Day".

I'm checking priority and using the same from and to zip code...

Need Help With Calculating Shipping With USPS 1095 Box

I've seen several posts about how the recommended way to ship CGC comics are inside a 1092, and inside a 1095 box.

When I go to USPS site to calculate costs, I am getting $13.60 when I select "medium priority box" and $18.85 when I select "large priority box."

I thought that local delivery would be cheaper (around $8 range).

Am I doing something wrong?

Picked these up from comicartfans.com members:

Lost a legend today, but his name will live on in the fabulous artwork he created.

Post your Bernie Wrightson books here!

X-Men Gold 1 - any bets on how long it takes to sell out?

I'd say an hour.

Snagged my 3 copies of the A,B and C unsigned sets this morning!

That virgin cover is aMAZing

This was a "must purchase" for me. This has been at the very top of my statue WANT list for as long as I can remember.

This is a comment about your tier structure, not necessarily a criticism, but you posted the following as an example:

2) Tier structure:

Bronze - $1 - $50 book

Silver - $50 - $100 book

Gold - $100 - $200 book

Platinum - $200 - $500 book

Assuming this is restricted to CGC slabs, I'm not sure what these values represent. Any given SA slab of any interest is likely going to exceed that $50 to $100 range on everything but the lowest drek. I would think the same for Gold, for the most part, but would a desirable CGC menu not need to assume higher values?

 

The Tier names aren't meant to indicate a period of publications. The tier's could have just as easily been labeled Red, Green, Blue and Yellow.

And the more I think about it making it CGC only really would filter out a large part of the audience.

Let's have the brainstorming begin on the best way to implement a new PIF thread :-)

Well right now more people think the idea should be kaboshed, but that doesn't necessarily mean the PIF shouldn't be revived at all...

I'd like people to chime in on the Tier structure I mentioned on top of the thread -- or suggestions on a  new implementation of the PIF thread.

Would it even be worth it to restrict it to CGC graded comic books? Will there be a large enough market to entertain that possibility?
