9/2/12 Signature Series submissions (1 Modern and 1 Standard) shipped yesterday/today.

bought a Green Lantern CGC Sig Series slab from George (somewhereintexas) on ebay, book shipped fast and super well packed (think huge box with a ton of padding, air bags and bubble wrap for one slab).

If he is selling on here, or ebay I'd have no worried about his selling and shipping methods!

I would also not worry if he happens to go into a trance mid transaction. SomewhereInTexas is one of the boards foremost transendental meditation practioners. Its rumored when he goes into a trance that he is actually leaving his body and traveling thru space and time to procure more books from the newsstands in the 40s and 50s, hiding them in the basement of that old brownstone on 14th street only to return to modern day, revisit that brownstone and pull out minty fresh copies of Pep, Captain America and Ms Fury.

Question: So selling legitimate licensed single use digital codes is forbidden, but selling unlicensed items we made at home is ok?

 

How does that make sense?

 

it shouldn't be.

Was there ever a rationale explained behind the rule? Im not even sure when that rule was added or if it's always been there and we're just now running into a scenario where there are actual Legit ways to sell digital copies.

hmmm come to think of it I've seen a few sales threads that included those DVDs of comics (the legit ones thru Marvel) and those sales didnt get pulled...

this came in today!

Not really sure where I should post this and I don't want to derail the convo, so feel free to point me in the right direction...

 

Is there any way to prohibit zero feedback buyers from bidding on your items? I thought I checked some box when setting up my seller account a long time ago that kept low feedback or problem ebayers from bidding on your items, but can't find it now.

 

I don't want to turn off potential bidders who may see this as someone shilling.

 

I know I've gotten frustrated by this in the past and gave up on an item.

PM being sent

feels a little like Wasteland.

With the renewed interest Hollywood has in Sci-Fi/Fantasy it could get some looks.

Also if the first few issues rope enough readers in with a good story, then they'll let it play out for a while so Hickman can do some world building.

 

There's a sale back on December 24 for $80. That guy must be punching himself in the nuts daily.

probably the same way the guy who sold me a peter panzerfaust 2x signed sketched for $50.00

That Ditko sale is of Walking Dead #1 level self-flagellation... except instead of watching a book blow up over the course of a few years, its over the course of 2 weeks.

60 different Ditko variant auctions on ebay right now.

26 books with bids (25 raw, 1 CGC)

Highest with bids

CGC: CGC 9.8 Sig Series (Stan Lee) $3600 (50 bids)

Raw with bids: $810 raw

6 copies have auctions ending tonight 3 have bids (current bids are: 610,610, 640).

3 w/o bids have starting points of 999, 775, 800

There is also a $699 BIN out there, and a $729 BIN that might get snatched up depending on where the three active auctions end up.

Last completed sales: $750 BIN (1/9/12), $760 auction (1/9), $799 acution (1/8), $700 auction (1/8)

Interesting watching if nothing else. I imagine the three auctions today to push up to $700s, and two of the loser bidders to grab the $699 ad $729 BINs. Though they might decide to toss their money at one of the 7 books still under $400.

Super hyped for my first sketch slab!

Even more that I won it in the Secret Santa Raffle this year.

It may just be a little head sketch, but its mine!

Ordinarily I wouldn't have picked this one up but I've always been a big fan of DD's yellow costume.

How ironic they colored it yellow since that was the issue cover when DD switched to the current red costume... is the interior DD #7 or an earlier yellow costume issue?

actuall text to my brother before the game started:

Me: L'vill's honorary captain is Muhammed Ali? I've got a bad feeling about this...

Him:

Me: I mean one of our Honorary captain's most recent appearances was at the opening of a new Hyundai Dealership... theirs LIT THE OLYMPIC TORCH

Him:

Me: No Im serious the karma is not going to go our way....

2 minutes later L'ville gets a pick 6 and it was all down hill

Here's my progress so far on the HoM run including what I have beyond #200. (thumbs u

 

Know if there are any foreign variants of Adams House of Secrets 88?

Having sold my X-men 142 just before the DoFP announcement, I can tell you prices have already spiked....

Will they keep going up? No idea, but I've decided not to watch out of self preservation

This is a Batman from Italy's Williams editions. Cool book, I am sure Vaillant has more information about it.

 

On a side note, am I the only one who belive this thread should be a sticky?

thanks that helps... it led me to this nugget on the internet:

"Milan-based Williams briefly reprinted a bunch of DCs comics (mainly Superman and Batman) in the early 70's. They never touched Marvel books, and just lived through three years. Another Milan-based publisher replaced them as DC Italian licensee in 1976."

Just bought this over in Dave's sales thread... I'm a Green Lantern fan so this looked like a fun book.

And I figured this was a good place to ask, can anyone tell me what this is?

I get that its an Italian translation, but does anyone know more?

Justice League of Amierica 50 flag variants?

 

53. Puerto rico is included and 2 others cant remember which ones. No I wont be buying them. Just the regular cover and maybe connecticut since i live there.

The other two are a USA flag and the District of Columbia...

Im mostly curious if the use Ohio's actual flag shape (only non-quadrilateral one), and if the keep the square ones square (RI, ND, ID)

Justice League of Amierica 50 flag variants? Anyone thinking about speculating on the less popular or less populated states to see if lower production runs might yeild increased value when people try to put together full runs of the flag variants?

Im thinking:

Alaska, Wyoming, North & South Dakota.

Or maybe go with states where there seems to be a lot of "state pride" where there might be more interest in a state specific flag, like Texas, but less ability to get the book?

anyone else thinking about this, or am I just borded?

Another GL SS, this time Darryl Banks

New Addition to my Green Lantern SS theme.

Didnt even remember it was also the 1st appearance of my least favorite Green Lantern, Kyle Rayner...

I'm resurrecting this one as a boardie complimented me for having it on my sig line.

 

Signed by Tim Kring, Tim Sale, Zachary Quinto, James Kyson Lee, Stan Lee, Eric Roberts, Jeph loeb, Malcolm McDowell, George Takei, Hayden Panettierre, and Kristen Bell.
