Do people actually pay a premium for miscuts? I have a flawless Wolverine (1988) #1 that has a pretty obvious miscut. I always assumed it might hurt the grade/value. My LCS in the 90’s thought so as well. I bought it for a dollar.

Everyone is talking about what CGC is going to do, but this is Blackrock’s baby now. They will not loose money unless forced to. Not a single thing will be done about this without national attention. That means national news coverage, federal investigation, lawsuit…. anything short of that and this goes under the rug.

I feel like it would benefit from an animated series first, similar to what Invincible has done. Manga/Anime is all the rage with the current generation. My kids have little interest in reading comics, but can’t get enough of black and white, right to left reading manga. Why? My observation is that EVERY mildly successful manga has an anime. The interest starts with the anime. And after years and years of slowly building that fan base, we’re on the cusp of a floodgate of English language live action adaptations. So imagine if EVERY mildly successful Image title had an animated series. The production cost is cheaper and younger audiences are more inclined to watch than read. It would grow the fan base needed to support the cost on a live action. I really think that’s the main reason that American comics have lost so much ground to manga.

Spider-Man Reign has heated up. I’ve always thought it was a bit overlooked in this Spider-verse craze era, especially considering our hot Batman Damned was.

No. No. Where's the horizon?

Unless I missed it, I didn’t see the Spawn / Savage Dragon “As Seen on TV” newsstand. I’ve seen commented that there were only 300 copies. That’s seems insanely low. Does anyone have any info on it?

I’ve been looking for later newsstand copies of Curse of the Spawn. #28 seems to be a ghost. Even Mile High doesn’t have any in stock. Anyone else ever look for these?

I recently listed something and a few hours later it showed 3 watchers and only one “view”. Explain that to me? I think the “views” are a bit wonky sometimes.

That’s awesome! I should plan a trip to the Library of Congress.

So I’ve fairly ignorant when it comes to original art….. Is there much early Dikto Amazing Spider-Man OA in existence? For example I always think about those Sinister Six splashes from the first Amazing Spider-Man annual. Do they exist? Is their ownership known?

That’s another undervalued book. I don’t feel like many people know about it.

Has anyone watched his porno? ‘Clitty Clitty Kangbang”

The cover kills the value of DC Comics Presents #26. I LOVE Teen Titans, but have never had that book high on my list because the cover is so terrible.

So you set up a thread, that from the very beginning sounds as if you’re advocating the trolling of sales threads. Then, in said thread that you created, you complain that you yourself are being trolled, and in essence state that your “standard” of trolling is in some way different or superior to others trolling. Yup that sounds like the world live in today
