very interested to see where the next issue goes. doubt that "trip" is ending anytime soon.

As a life long martial artist, this has always been an especially important key for me. I figured it was time to bite the bullet before the Netflix hype drives prices out of my range. OSS!

If your UK based (or willing to pay crazy shipping) FP has it up. https://forbiddenplanet.com/119759-manifest-destiny-7-silvestrimcfarlane-variant/

Thought it was a fair question, some nice zingers in there though.

9.8 blue labels are for the Cover A or variants too?

what's everyone's opinion on the relatively low price that the LBCC Sketch Variant is getting. isn't it supposed to be a print run of 250? but it doesn't fetch that much more than the Ottley or even the 1st Print.

Speculators drove the print run too high, which prevented anyone but first day sellers from seeing any real returns (story of many books in 2013). Despite what people believe, most of the upward pressure comes from speculators, even if collectors then buy in at the new prices. When a print run cuts in half from issue 1-3, and you have 100s of speculators buying multiple copies, then having to unload, it creates a massive undercurrent of drag on a book. Since speculators dont care, and the print run is where it should be, and EXCELLENT I might add for an indy Image book not being held up by speculators, all the over printing has to work out of the system. Lazarus 1 48,000 Lazarus 2 27,150 Comics are just like any commodity, when resources are mis-allocated, it skews the values first too high, then too low. Give it a couple years, it's an excellent book and no doubt will be a future classic. But as for over-valuation, only media optioning is going to push it up to silly values. Amazing, thanks for the break down and educational post CBT!

You guys think the Letter 44 #1 Preview Edition will be the "grail" even though its not officially part of the line? I believe CGC even categorizes it as a separate book.

Not sure if Rich already posted in here, but he's getting a bunch of these (variants and cover a) signed tomorrow at Third Eye by Jason Aaron. Seeing as how this is basically sold out everywhere I'd jump at this chance. http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=7657597&Main=339042#Post7657597

any theories as to why this books value (across all variants and SS) continues to drop? personally its my favorite new series, its up for an eisner award, and it continues to get better. i also see a lot of potential for TV/Movie optioning.

aren't there just 3?

35k+? That print run figure seems to high. One of the bigger stores in Atlanta had a sole copy by noon. The other store I went to had all of five ordered.

did anyone notice the feedback on the Marvel Preview #4 he sold - accused of shilling. if you look at the listing he says CGC 9.8 but the book is 9.4 etc. http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=astridonna&&_trksid=p2047675.l2560&rt=nc&iid=281324186281&sspagename=VIP:feedback&ftab=FeedbackAsSeller shouldn't someone just go ahead an add this guy to the HOS? It was in a 9.4 cgc holder, the 3 feedback neg buyer purchased this and it wasn't an auction yet he throws that accusation out? Seems like some jerk from here being a jerk to a previously established jerk. that book was a BIN only, no bids were ever received. i'll be the first to take a neg feedback for shilling, but this was completely unwarranted. also the 9.8 was an obvious misprint/typo... the title has 9.4 and the picture clearly shows 9.4. this was not a case of me pulling the wool over anyones eyes. in fact someone bought it now at that price then told me they made a mistake and i cancelled their bid.

What are you going to do with those extra copies if you're not selling anymore? Two are for friends, one for sig series one for blue. One reader.

Only 1 copy at my LCS. Went to the malls store and cleared out all 5.

this book is great, love the covers too.

To get into why I've made these mistakes would be a long winded story that I don't think anyone here cares to hear. In terms of being resigned to this situation, I just know that I've really blown multiple people's trust both buyers and those who supported me despite neigh sayers. I like to collect comic books, I like to read comic books, perhaps selling and flipping is just not something I should or need to be involved in.

i'm not looking to sell on the forums anymore, as i don't think i deserve that right. its a right not a privilege to sell to this great community. i've up beyond belief, been given second chances, and still messed up. so no, i will not fight to get back off the PL, and I will take all the jokes, and licks that i deserve. i will still be posting in the modern forums, on a discussion only basis as i do enjoy the conversation.

Not sure where to track down any of the variants though other than the DCBS exclusive.

you filed a paypal complaint without ever PM'ing me first, the MD1 was an oversight. i was under the impression that the $30 you requested to be refunded would be adequate restitution. i do admit i intended to send you the MD1 9.6, but as we know that is worth double the value of the original $30 we agreed upon for the raw, not including shipping and slab costs. so that was my reasoning for putting it on ebay, while still paying you in full what you had requested I pay to make up for my mistake. either way, its fine, you guys can keep me on the PL. i apologize to wolf pack for my behavior and to all those who supported me.

I was wondering whether wolfpack06 could confirm that I did indeed give him a full refund of the amount he requested.

i've since sent wolfpack06 the refund on the manifest destiny 1. also after shipping out the outstanding books i have had, i'm stepping away from the board and selling for the foreseeable future.

Bought a great copy of MP4 from bounty at a really fair price. We both agreed it looked like a 9.0 with 9.2 potential but I got lucky and it came back 9.4. A pleasure to deal with and look fwd to doing business with again

James Gunn is a rad director, everyone go see Slither if you have doubts.

was hoping for a 9.2, thought 9.0 for sure. got to love a surprise like this.
