  1. RE: JMG (Probation list added 12/26/12) off-board Crees Tyler (CAF), Im not entirely sure how one does it, but based on yesterday's attempted Jim Lee Superman OA offering by JMG (a Probation member), and his subsequent posts showing a) his complete disregard for the deal that put him on the list, and b) his admittance that a deal was made that he then went back on (and his sudden decision to create a new ID after that non-deal) does it seem worthy of him being listed for the HOS? I have not been very involved in HOS/Probation list discussions so I dont have a good feel for what is/isnt worthy of the HOS upgrade.
  2. thanks for the eyes grider, which book were you referring to? The Dracula?
  3. last place I'll post this (already posted it in General and Sig room) Love the well placed, and large Neal sig.... Do I wish it was a better centered copy? sure... but who cares!
  4. From Dragon*con and a Par2ch facilitation I love the sig placement, and its nice and big!
  5. All I can find from the scans is the area in the back that I hilighted in red. If that's water damage/stain, it could be bigger than appears in the scan, and it could be much less appealing than in scans, but as you said we'll see once its in hand...
  6. two coming my way from the bay... will post better scans once they are in my hot little hands (I have a medical condition!) Sinister House of Secret Love #1 CGC 7.5 Really cant tell what the problem is with this book. Scans of the bottom portion didnt show any creasing or big 7.5 worthy problems. Only thing I see is a possible slight hint of back cover staining but the scan doesnt make it look very visible, we'll see what it looks like in hand. Either way considering how nicely centered it was, I wanted it (I'll take lower grade well centered copies at a discount any day!) Dracula Lives #3 CGC 8.0 Adams cover, and a Lady in White. I know this is magazine sized, but it went with the theme of Bronze horror, so here it is!
  7. let me be the first to say that buying from gadzukes was a pleasure. A smooth, non-paypal associated (check) transaction, good communication and great shipping. The strange thing is that when I was removing the restraining bolt on the All Star Superman Absolute I bought, it started playing this weird hologram recording saying "help me Obi Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope", and the note in the book said that it used to be the property of someone called Obi Wan Kenobi... wonder if he means old Ben Kenobi... hmmmm buy Droids from this guy with confidence!
  8. 9/2/12 Signature Series submissions (1 Modern and 1 Standard) shipped yesterday/today.
  9. 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.
  10. 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...
  11. 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?
  12. 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.
  13. :: 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.
  14. 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. There's a sale back on December 24 for $80. That guy must be punching himself in the nuts daily.
  15. 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!
  16. 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?
  17. 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
  18. There is, haven't found one yet. The novaro one appeared under the title Relatos Fabulosos and it is number 156. A cover scan can be found here: http://www.kingdomcomics.org/rfabulosos/rfabulosos10.jpg thanks!
  19. Know if there are any foreign variants of Adams House of Secrets 88?
  20. 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
  21. 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."
  22. 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?
