Picked this OA up from Mark Brooks last yr at SDCC with the help of DScott.

always sold out within the first 2 hrs at SDCC. This was the only book they were limiting it to 1 per person.

I'd prob have to line up at 3am just to get these at SDCC.

Anyone know the print run on the 2nd print?

I think the whole Whilce Portacio X-Factor run is a little underrated. +1 Enjoyed Portacio's run on X-Factor!

Geez... ASM 300

Renaissance or Early Modern period. So the age is going to be 3 years? 1993-1996? I'd figure it would be at least a decade.... 1993-2003? No. The 1993-2003(Walking Dead) or 1991/92- late 2000(Ultimate Spider-Man) periods will probably be called the Chromium age or something like it with certain books exhibiting qualities of the Modern/Digital age... My Modern collection begins with 2000's Ultimate Spiderman #1 . My Copper collection ends at the year 1999 until theres an official name and time frame for the Dark/Chromium Age. Then the OCD in me will re-organize my collection accordingly.

While that is a part of it, over the past couple of years I have seen way more early 20s collectors enter the market and for them the Copper Age keys are the big books tied to their youth. They have jobs now with decent disposable incomes to chase the funny books that are key to them, and it is not BA or SA. If they follow the trend, they will eventually migrate to BA, SA and GA books, but right now CA is what they are most familiar with and that is what they are chasing. It happened with SA back in the day, then BA, so it only makes sense that demographics are impacting the CA market now as well. I think you mean people in their 30s, but I see your point. Yeah, I'm 35 and I am most familiar with CA books. Those were the books I was buying off the shelves when I was 10-13. This is spot on.

Staples and BKV both confirmed for SDCC.

This just happened...to someone with 0 feedback: http://www.ebay.com/itm/290913500254?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

Not to mention social media, movies, TV shows, cgc and message boards. This bubble may just continue to grow because of the driving forces I just mentioned.

Nice! See you there!

Not going and bummed to find out image wont be at Wondercon

Thanks for coming down today -- great to meet "JerryAmsterdam" in person! Had a great time -- that place has an amazing setup and a nice vibe. Hey Ken, I missed this...are you local? Will you be at Wondercon next month? I'm LA-based. I will be wandering around Wondercon, for sure. But Image doesn't have a booth and neither do I. Ah man that blows. Image being there was one of the only reasons I wanted to go Wondercon. How is Image not going to be at the 2nd largest con in Socal? Love the book!

New Mutants 98 haters or realist? http://www.bleedingcool.com/2012/12/05/wednesday-runaround-the-scarcity-of-deadpool/

20 yr hiatus and addicted once again! It didn't take much. Just a a one day trip to Wondercon to look for Monster High dolls for my kids. Then the addiction I once felt when I was 14 hit me again. 5 months later and a trip to SDCC, I've been able to acquire 90% of my Copper age collection I had growing up. I've acquired multiple copies of key Copper age issues just to find that potential 9.8 copy!! When will this madness stop?!? I received my email that they were shipped this week. Here are the grades from my first submission at SDCC: New Mutants 98- 9.6 New Mutants 98- 9.8 Uncanny X-men 266- 9.8 Amazing Spiderman 300- 9.6 Amazing Spiderman 300- 9.8 Incredible Hulk 340- 9.6 Incredible Hulk 340- 9.8 X-Factor 1- 9.4 And I thought my copy of X-Factor would get the highest grade! I have delved into the Modern age world a little, but may work my way back into the silver age. There are just way too many issues/variants/prints of comics for me to keep up with. As of now my Modern addiction is to Adventure Time comics thanks to my daughter! To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here. New comments can be added below.
