  1. it is kind of weird that CGC would play the moral police and not grade certain magazines when they grade books that Diamond can't even legally ship out of the US. Of course I am talking about Boundless books.
  2. Any update on the days SHARON AND BRAM will be appearing? Saturday only?
  3. Every publisher is different. In my experience Marvel and DC just give you a list of preapproved artists to pick from and it is difficult to get someone to do the cover that hasn't already been approved by the publisher. Sometimes they'll send you in progress images, sometimes they'll just send you the finished cover.
  4. Marvel sends you a list of artists that are preapproved to do covers and will tell the retailer the artists rate. Some are a lot more than others - most are included in the already established price. So if they said they wanted a cover from Dell'otto, Marvel would have done the entire run around with getting the cover done and produced. So its very possibly that Marvel didn't reach out to Dell'otto and just reused artwork they already had.
  5. You guys in this thread are so wrong. Everyone knows you can get print runs by dividing the variants ratio against the posted print run Diamond publishes that shows how many books they shipped on the release date and not how many copies are still in their warehouse. This is 2023 after all.
  6. What's the Image Comic Book that used Ai for its covers and for the character designs? Saw a few people mention it a few weeks ago. Nothing now. Edit: it was "the Last Barbarian"
  7. And just for fun, this cover came out a few weeks after the official announcement of the film. Notice the date of June 19 - when the film was officially announced in May
  8. A comic book was produced in 2022 AFTER the film was announced and now someone is saying its proof that the movie is based on the comic? Incredible.
  9. What? No. Alex Ross's online store is run by a company that also has CGC witnesses. Does he witness his own signature? No. Can you submit books to CGC with a Alex Ross COA? No. Once books are out of the artists possession they can no longer be graded with a yellow label- that's where the J Scott Campbell thing comes from - you can buy from his booth at shows WITH a CGC witness but you can't buy the books from the J Scott Campbell booth and submit them yourself - you need to have a CGC witness with you. Hope that clears that up for you.
  10. Didn't they pass some kind of law in Europe where the original artists or artists family gets a percentage of sale from any of there works going for sale? Isn't that where the Europe argument comes from? https://www.antiquestradegazette.com/guides/information-guides/artist-s-resale-right/
  11. Wasn't there a big controversy with Franks and Sons taking submissions for a Stan Lee private signing and it ended up that all of the signatures were fake and they came back with COAs and stickers?
  12. In what sense? is the argument that he held onto the books or that he released before the sale date? Im not sure what you mean by production date.
  13. bought a higher grade ASM 129. wanted to do a quick flip. sent to CBCS came back 7.0. Decided to just take the loss and sent it to a signing by a CGC SS guy. It came back CGC 8.5 SS. The book was pressed once and that was before I sent it to CBCS.
  14. This book finally came back into my hands today. Black Belt #V28 #4 Pretty sure highest graded copy but not confident. Steven Seagal
  15. I had been using a PS5 for about six months before I purchased the new XBOX S or X or whatever. Never had an xbox before - much better playing experience.
  16. This video is interesting https://www.facebook.com/blackflagcomics/videos/1038981353659573/
  17. I don't care about who's wife Clayton Crain is sleeping with. I care about how Whatsnot hasn't made a public comment about their spotlight sellers or whatever they call them, selling bootleg homemade comic books.
