  1. Nice haul but that Teen Titans looks out of place with all the other books. Must have been a throw in ! . It's my favorite copper book. I dare you to read it I've read it many times. I do read comics....I'm not Brad.
  2. harrow county # 1 15 hack slash # 4 sketch variant 15 tick # 1 &2 80 @ 30% off
  3. Tough book to find. Here are some others: Thundercats 24 Ewoks 14 Guardians of the Galaxy 62 used to be but now it's close Transformers 80 Moon Knight 60 but the difference is probably pennies If we are allowed to go Copper...Miracleman #24. Back to the main topic...I haven't been buying any new stuff lately, just cleaning out some long boxes. Sold 3 copies of Preacher #2; don't know if it was anything specific in the show or changing the title from "1st Arseface" to "1st Eugene" but they went fast after that. Still can't get an offer on my #1 9.6. Sold 6 copies of The Brave and the Bold #200 (yeah, not modern, I know) at decent prices; not sure if this is Suicide Squad stuff across the board b/c my Detective #474 hasn't had any interest. Ultimate Fallout #4 bagged still a quick sell at $25. (Again not modern but...) ASM #265 and X-Men #221 sales have dried up for me; a Mr. Sinister announcement would be awesome at SDCC but not holding my breath.
  4. I purchased the CGC 9.8 with my eBay bucks. I wanted to complete my set... Regular, Collector's and Platinum version. Enjoy your 15 minutes of fame budd How many other books do we know where the last issue is worth more then the first? Ghost Rider #93 Punisher #104 X-O Manowar #68 Turok #47 Conan #275 Power Girl #27 Conan #275 > Conan #1?
  5. What distinguishes a Valiant Newsstand? The barcode will read "newsstand sales" instead of "direct sales" ? Still waiting on a pic of that book you found. I heard was supposed to be a red cover and you found a black one? A major spider villain does that narrow it down? Here you go.
  6. Looking for a little help here. Found a place with two long boxes of Underground Comix but no idea what is worthwhile and what isn't. On top of that, I know the printings of some of them are hard to determine. Any quick tips?
  7. Unfortunately, that information didn't come in the email I received. I'm hoping it's still in the 3k/1.5k category. Where is the shaking head emoticon? Can't find it, but this one works, too
  8. Want to get this signed but don't see any appearances upcoming. confirmed through his handler he will be at nycc Who do I speak to about helping me out in that regard?

  10. My Copper hoard (though not as big as others [that's what she said]) is starting to pay off. Omega Men 3 Uncanny X-Men 221 now ASM 265 Next we need an Omega Red announcement...
  11. Old/new cases for all! https://www.cgccomics.com/news/viewarticle.aspx?IDArticle=5383&
  12. That's a boardie i think Dre sumthing?!? Yes, Dre, aka BeachBum. I can only guess he walked in and requested old cases, because he has several new books all in the old case. They were walkthroughs; don't know if he ever said regarding case requests. http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=9422797#Post9422797
  13. Those Vampire Tales are impossible to find clean in the wild! #8 is very nice; #2 would be great except for the chunk missing at the bottom right (you can see in the pic).
  14. Though it does contain a hard-to-find book, I'll spoiler my other grab pics.
  15. That book drives me crazy, too. Never found one. Well speak of the devil. Found today at an LCS having a 50% off sale.
  16. Found another Showcase '96 #3; my guess it was not a popular title so not many shops have it. But if they did get it, they probably have it lying around somewhere. I know this falls outside the original parameters b/c it's kind of a key, but Hulk #449 makes me the maddest. Always digging through the 400's and I know it's not going to be there but have to check.
  17. Sure. Why give tips to people who won't be here in a year or two? Gotta start recruiting fresh blood !! Those who come into it chasing 'hot books' are joining this hobby for the wrong reasons. In general. Maybe they'll gain a real appreciation of the art form eventually, but... that's again, generally, NOT what I've seen. I like the people who come into my shop that are 'digital' READERS, attracted to the hobby through the storytelling and art (an aspect that's fully from digital), I think they have a better chance of sticking around. No matter how bad some things get... there's always something else worth reading... Chasing hot books... will only lead to disappointment for most. If they are digital readers what are they up to in your store?
