Any other DD statues perhaps?  

Jim and I worked on a deal back and forth for some time and I quite enjoyed chatting with him.  Jim sold me some high grade ToD and all were graded properly and packaged very well.  Would absolutely deal with Jim again and he's a true asset to these boards.  People like him are what make these boards great!

I will take Tomb of Dracula 7, 20 (copy 2), 24 (copy 2) 29, 34,  and 62 as per PM

OK guys and gals. Just finished pulling books for the first session, so I will probably need most of the day to scan tomorrow.

Lets figure on starting at 7:30 PM CST on Dec. 26th.

There will be lots and lots of nice books. Keys, high grades, original owner books, some Golden Age, lots of Silver and Bronze and all of it at really good prices. I'll try to post a preview pic tomorrow afternoon sometime. 

Looking forward to it as per usual.  

Enjoy these threads immensely every year 

I'm trying to comb through this thread and IG and there is A LOT here... what's the TL:DR version of where things are at right now?

Was wondering if you'd have your annual sales thread.  It really is something I look forward to each year (even tho I took it off last yr).

Scans are very clear 👌 

Slipknot firing Jay is ridiculous.  Really cheesed me off.

Great books!

You can see the shelf I'm using is beginning to bow. I'm afraid to even fill it up entirely so I leave a book or 2 off each row.

I'll have to check out the Kallax

Question for those who collect Omnibuses and large hardcovers....

Which shelves do you use? The shelf I'm using is beginning to bow. 

Is the Ikea Kallax a good idea?

SPAWN 11 - CGC 9.8 - SIGNED BY FRANK MILLER 

This was signed back in 2015, shortly before Frank changed the look of his autograph. What you see here is his "old school" signature placed vertically. 

I was always careful to work with my facilitators on signature placement. It was my idea to have Frank sign in that location. I always tried to find places on the book that weren't overly congested. I also carefully selected the pen color. Most of the time, the artists were happy to accommodate my desires. Another legend's name on a Spawn book. 

 

Just an inch to the left and woulda been perfect imo

This may be the first time I'm sad and regret that somebody ELSE sold some books

I’m having complete paralysis of choice here - love too many of these covers. Not looking to make a spec or flip play here so will probably just choose my favorite art and let it rock?

 

That's how I started approaching the main Spawn title.  

I didn't want to own every cover anymore.  Was silly.  So each month that it's out I just pick my favourite cover, regardless of variant/copy A/B/C/whatever.

At the end of the day I have a run of Spawn with my absolute fav covers.

My LCS said they are coming out mid January, or a month late, for some reason. I guess Todd is taking an extra long Christmas vacation and can't sign until he comes back?  

Ahhh okay, I was pretty dumbfounded why I couldn't find a single live copy.  I figured something was up.  Thanks! 

I've been busy the last little bit and haven't got a chance to hop into my LCS but where are all the signed copies?  I can't seem to find a single one in hand. 

All I see is stock photo

Anyone grab the 1:1000 double sig?

My store has 1 and offering it to me.  Debating it.

These are legit some of my favourite books.  

I'll take ToD:  59, 57, 55, 54, 51, 40, 39, 38, 33, 32, 31, 30, 28, 23, 22, 21 as PER PM

It is Doug Peters, I think who you are talking about - he was a great guy, he helped me with sig series stuff and sketch covers. I used to stitch OA together for him and I did his logo for his art business. He was a big X-Men fan and had some heavy-hitting art at the time (and, I believe, repped Dijana Granov when she first started out) his website is https://comicsketchart.com/

Yup, Doug Peter's.  Was a super great guy.

I'm trying to remember his board handle... was it dscott ?

Wow, well that's very kind of you, I appreciate it! I have a tendency to be longwinded, so it's nice to hear that I wrote something worth reading! Thanks!

Sorry, TL:DR can you give me the coles notes of what you wrote?

Any idea what year that's from?

Gosh, what was his board name.... his name was Doug and he helped me with a lot of SA keys prior to doing his comic sketch art thing.  Haven't seen him around the boards in ages.

Chuck just posted his new video with Kevin Smith visiting his store and promoting Clerks 3  movie today on youtube. He said on the video he does not like to sell his comics??? Quite a odd attitude from a large dealer.

That's very likely why he prices so aggressively
