  1. So now we're comparing Scorsese to Shakespeare..... Ok
  2. By that logic Godfather 2 isn't art either? And I agree on Warhol. I guess my point is that it's all rather subjective and while I LOVE Scorsese as a film maker....... I don't know why you'd go and P into someone else's Wheaties. Just comes across as petty. I'd feel better about his viewpoint if I could confirm that he's even seen Winter Soldier
  3. Tell me Captain America: Winter Soldier isn't art. I dare you. Was Warhol's Campbell Soup Cans not a "work of art" simply because he didn't create Campbell's soup?
  4. This may have been commented on before, but I notice that he doesn't use the word "by" in his listings. As in "Signed BY Jack Kirby" I would assume that's intentional.
  5. Actors are payed on a "per episode" basis. The moment they started letting that effect the writing........ The show went to . I don't know if it was Kirkman or AMC, but they weren't willing to spend the money to keep the it great. As much as I loved the comic and then the show, I found it rather heartbreaking
  6. My 12 year old daughter recently started reading the Kamala Khan Ms. Marvel series and loves it. I know she's not the one from the movie, but Carol Danvers is the one who inspires Kamala to be a superhero. Since she's a new character, she can jump right into the books with little knowledge of continuity.
  7. "Spider-Wang" has already been done. People seem to forget that Marvel actually did it first. Check out the formerly "heating up on Ebay" series Spider-Man: Reign. I'm surprised that mini doesn't get more attention
  8. I see this notion thrown about from time to time, but I've never seen any evidence to support it. All the ads I've seen going back to the early 80's show Hulk 181 priced significantly higher than 180. I'm not arguing that the statement isn't true, I'd just like to know what it's based upon.
  9. I am far from a professional grader, but it has the look of a book that's been trimmed.
  10. I see Walking Dead as being akin to Star Trek. It'll die out with the masses, still have a cult following, and have a revival at some point. But it may be 30 years down the road. The quality of the core show has definitely hurt product all around.
  11. But they gave Thor a custom goatee! I mean what's not to like
  12. What's interesting is that neither 1716 nor 548 were willing to bid that high on the next auction
  13. It's always possible that I'm just an insufficiently_thoughtful_person, but I clearly see r**0 (512) having won all three auctions
  14. I believe the term "getting close" was used. Case in point: http://www.ebay.com/itm/The-Uncanny-X-Men-266-NM-9-4-white-pages-/282514152356?hash=item41c727dba4:g:rgQAAOSwxu5ZOCxw
  15. "Going for" and "asking for" are two different things. Looks like one sold for $390 towards the end of January
  16. It's awesome to see comic culture blossoming in a country like this. I've shipped quite a few comics to Saudi Arabia. I always thought it a bit odd, but it looks as if there's quite a bit of interest.
  17. The guy sells also...so I looked at something he had for $17.99 with free shipping...another guy on Ebay had it for $11 after shipping..same condition...I asked him if I bought his and found it somewhere else (not 7 weeks later) would he send me a refund for the difference? I told him to look at it from my perspective. That was asking too much. Now i'm the worst dealer on Ebay. Whatever...blocked I'm not saying what he did was right. But and thos is for you too buzetta. You pre-order something off amazon. It's 200 USD. That's what you'll pay. The price drops to 50 before the item is launched. It's still pre order. Do you cancel your order or take a 150 USD hit? Answer honestly. How about from a seller's point of view then. Let's say you pre-order at $200. Demand goes through the roof and the going rate jumps up to $350. Should the seller cancel your order and sell it to someone else for $350? Would he be taking a $150 hit by honoring the $200 sale?
  18. Found several in a very poorly organized shop a few years ago along with Wildcats 2 newsstand and some other wacky like that. I know they're worth very little but I buy em every time I see em out of compulsion. I have a Wildcats #2 newsstand as well. I bought it off the shelf at a local convenience store when I was a kid. It was just a random copy they had sitting with their magazines. It's different non-prism cover is actually what got me interested in early Image newsstands. I've never seen another copy in the wild.
  19. I enjoyed it too, but it does feel like we've been here before.
  20. That's a regular Stan Lee SS copy. -J. So we're saying that because the book was signed on Stan's 90th birthday it gets a 150% or $1500 boost in value? That's the only one well over $1k and it has consistent sales. Yes, plenty of sales for the 90th book. It's not consistent for the other SS books. Your writeup concludes that the book in general is getting those values. The picture I used was of the 90th variant of the book. The book was strong by other metrics as well, not just for the 90th version, that I also mentioned in the write up. Again I said, I consider "all" label types for the books, with the most weight given to 9.8 sales. Hence why it easily makes the list. -J. So are we now classifying specific SS issues as a "variant" of the variant?
