  1. BA sales seem to be rising across the board of late . . .
  2. I'm not sure which of these last four are the worst . . . Somebody PLEASE open a window!
  3. Grimjack rulz! This. I like Tim Truman and I read Scout but I thought Grimjack was the far superior book. Now this I can get behind! I love it when my "posse" shows up . . .
  4. I'm still pulling my Spider-man 13s . . . since this afternoon.
  5. Sorry my concrete jungle brother. This is prolly the silliest thing I've heard in a while dreck /drek/ noun informal noun: drek rubbish; trash. "this so-called art is pure dreck" One man's drek, another man's $167. I wouldn't call it "drek" now either...maybe 3 years ago, but not now. Have you guys lost your mind? Like... completely? If its printed in the 90s, First title's letter is X and its drawn by Liefeld - Its drek! The problem were having with the market today is that its soooooo easy to pump and dump books that with just very little effort you can sell drek to the masses CONVINCING them they have the next big key. Time and again we see books over inflate and then drop back to nothing. How many books did this happen to? 100?? 1000??? We REFUSE to learn because as today's soup de'jour is served to us, we are blinded and mesmerized by its scent and drop our next car payment bill on it thinking "this is the one that will stick"! X-Force #11 was is and always will be drek Spoken like an insufferable old geezer! Old man 'Lorder approves this message Clearly, X-Force 8 is where it's at now.

  7. Yup go figure.. People are dumb Yep, they should know the one they want is #8 . . . Trying to create your own market again? Seriously though, she's on the cover of #8. Sure, I think it's a flashback story, but ... For what it's worth my recollection is that I sold the two as a set early in the summer for over $20. I do not think I was touting either copy as being better than NM and the #8 I might have said was a NM-. neither was a newsstand, I think. So given slab 9.8 price ratio to raw NM, that doesn't seem too crazy no its true, 8 is the real first app. she's on the cover AND she's in the comic, yes its a flashback. Of course it is (and of course I am . . . )

  9. Cause it looks cool And why else would we want it???
  10. I think there was a one-shot western in Marvel premiere. I don't recall the issue but I am sure someone else here does. Marvel Premiere #54, Caleb Hammer. You forgot Marvel Spotlight #1 - Red Wolf - Neal Adams Cover
  11. As a reader and buyer from back in the day, I believe it's the combination of low print runs and long times spent on the spinner racks (where they were pawed) and shelves (where they were mishandled), compared with the Superhero counterparts. Never mind the fact that only you and I bought them . . . I lost a whole tomato box of BA westerns in our flood in 2005 - box was just sitting on the floor in the garage.
  12. And he didn't even say "Wow" in the title on this one! Dunno, he always seems to get a lot of bidders on his stuff.

  13. No, it's pronounced "bones". . . . or maybe "bon-zee"
  14. More dollars than sense/cents I suppose Shilled to death She looks like a horse with those boots . . . fugly.
  15. For Bonze Westerns? . . . I'm pretty sure there isn't.
  16. Comichron reported a print run on #3 of 85,156 How many of that are the 1:25 is anyone's guess but rough estimate is 3,406 Where do you come up with that estimate...? Are you aware that that's not what those numbers mean? Yea I'm very well aware, I guess I should say very rough estimate instead of rough estimate. For every store that orders the threshold amount they can order as many as they want of the incentive. For every store that orders the threshold there are probably just as many if not more stores that don't order the threshold. There's no way to get an accurate print run of the incentive other than going store to store and asking them two questions. Did you meet the threshold. If yes, how many did you order. The division of the total print by the threshold number is as speculative as you can get and obviously wrong. In Diamond's last 25 cent sale a month ago, I ordered 30 copies of Original Sin #1 1:25 variant and got all 30. That's a 1:25 variant that's over a YEAR old that I was able to easily order 30 copies of. Those 1 in 25 numbers mean nothing when it comes to print run. Marvel prints as many of those things as they choose to. So what's the Chucky price now?
