I only had problem with Midtown once and they refunded me quickly. Same here.

I absolutely love the covers, and I disagree about not looking good in slabs. The contrast and symbolic covers are nearly frame-worthy in my opinion.

Agreed. It's hard to create a sense of tension within a murder mystery when you have to wait too long for the answers. Attention spans being what they are nowadays, I can imagine most people just said 'screw it' and moved on.l On the Bedlam topic, I received my Phantom covers from Graham's today. All 5 books are in great condition, and packaging took me a good amount of time to unwrap due to the sheer volume of packing materials used to safely ship the books. I'm more than pleased with my first transaction with them.

everytime i think about that one i want to kick myself.. ohh well you win some u lose some.. Which is unfortunate. I love the book and still pick up each cover monthly, as does a friend of mine, Mind the Gap being the book that got her interested in comics.

Just received 2 books from Trevor today. They were in excellent condition and the packaging was bomb-proof. The transaction was smooth and the communication throughout was great. Thanks!

*Why* things are heating up is often more important than *what* is heating up.

Your market link points back to eBay instead of Lyria.

Did I miss something? I thought people stopped reading Spawn in aroung the turn of the milenium? Those are great sale!. Congratulations!! 2 sets sold today..covers a-f @ $305 & $356....a lot of people dogg on McFarlane,and Spawn doesn't move the numbers per month that it used to.but the back issues do well on Ebay! I buy every issue I find in .50/$1 boxes after #115. Some of these are tough books and there's guys getting back into collecting that have the first 50 or 100 and are trying to get the run up to date. If McFarlane does something to get Spawn back in the limelight,it could be a $1000 run just for the basic issues. Then I could sell my run 1-100 You probably could (I mean, you can sell ANYTHING), but the later issues are much more difficult to find, especially in HG. Most people stopped prior to #100, hence the lower print runs and increased cost.

It's a conflict of interest to have the grading fee directly correlate to the value of the book once graded. CGC then has an incentive to give a higher grade to then receive a higher fee for grading the same book. This is my main complaint...the fee based on a % of FMV is very shady, IMO. Agreed 100%. Seems to take some of the impartiality out of the equation, and being impartial when grading is of paramount importance when looking at CGC's business model. I've always thought they should grade and charge based on the raw value, since technically all a CGC slab adds is the value of the fees in getting the raw book slabbed; all other increase in value is based solely on the perception of the seller/buyer.

Yeah, my LCS still has a ton of X-O's at cover. A regional thing?

My take on it, which may be WAY off since I only watch the show (and am only a couple episodes into the second season):

Beachbum may still have a 9.8 in his sales thread if you're interested.

Heroes will be epic this year! David Peterson, Jeremy Bastian, Janet Lee; all great artists with very unique styles in one spot. Have to find an extra Mouse Guard FCBD HC for a 3x SS

Reminds me of Bubo from Clash of the Titans.

Just picked up the "Head Games" singles from my LCS, can't wait to read them. So far, if the rest of the books I've read are any indication, as long as they keep printing them I'll keep buying and enjoying them!

Are you sure they weren't the Image Con variants? The ComicsPro variant has been selling for $200-$300 pretty consistently since the 13th. The isolated sales are actually the ones that are below $200 at this point... Yes, it was the Comicspro variants. The last 4 Saga #1 RRP variant sales on ebay were $100, $80, $48 and $100. There's not a single completed $200 sale on ebay. Oh, my bad. I thought you were referring to an isolated ComicsPro sale, not the Saga sale.

About to start 'An Omnivore's Dillema'. Watched Food, Inc. and decided to pick up the book since it was only four bucks on Amazon.

From my LCS:

TWD and ToT are two totally different Genres and appeals to different groups. The WD has been out longer building a larger fan base but this doesn't mean ToT doesn't have the potential for the same success. ToT has a similar feel to Dexter for example and could tap into it's fan base. ....... which is much, much smaller than the TWD fan base. The thief / noir genre isn't going to appeal to 10M plus people regularly on the TV screen. Non-mainstream shows generally appeal to the same type of person who regularly buys collectibles though. Dr. Who, James Bond, The Prisoner, Star Trek, Outer Limits/Twilight Zone type shows might not have the numbers that TWD has, but the fanbases for them are very ravenous in their desires to own pieces of their beloved slices of entertainment.

The top corner of the first book inspires even less. :frown:

My focus is 9.8 Chris Claremont X-men and related Bronze-Age stuff that I grew up with, but in order to fund these permanent pieces I do a lot of one-of speculation. Hence the Walking Dead in the pic, which after sending to CGC I'll be looking for a good home for it. I've also been getting into Lady Mechanika lately because I've always been a huge steampunk fan, which in my opinion is a hugely under-appreciated genre!

My (very) small corner, and although it is used to hold most of the pieces of my many rotating hobbies, the comics are the one constant.
