Not from this week (from WW Chicago), but finally got them put away:

The first one sold (the seller ended the auction). Probably went for > 2 grand. Cover detached, rusty staples, centerfold loose, bad stains, etc. But still a number 4. Top one went for $1,750 (plus $40 shipping).

Ditto with picking up Warlock issues. Problem is that whole HIM thing confuses his "real" 1st appearance, etc.

Frank - Thanks for the quick - and detailed - reply. Learn something new every day. I didn't know 5G was always meant to be a collection of minis; I didn't do my homework on that front and assumed the Five of Five meant it was the end. So another question: What is the difference - at least for 5G - between doing a collection of minis versus an ongoing with different arcs? Is it mainly adhering to a more defined release schedule and how that fit in with your other work?

So I finished up the first arc(?) the other night and without spoiling anything, it ends with a lot more to explore. Question: How far into the process does a publisher say/ask for a mini to become ongoing in order to give the creator(s) time to shift storylines? I'm guessing if 5G stayed a mini this loose end would have been tied up by the end, or at least tied a little tighter.

+1 #14 looks great!

Hmm, I'll have to check the sub I got back a few weeks ago for this. Wonder if they will have it fixed in-time for WW Chicago on-site.

I am not the speculation master, but given the # of copies available and the distance you would have to cover, I would pass. If you want to speculate on these issues, I would check eBay first as prices have come down since the initial announcement.

Is it still "worth it" to get Think Tank and Clone 1's slabbed (assuming 9.8)? When is it not "worth it" to get #1's slabbed (again, assuming 9.8)?

Well, at least he/she explains it in the revised description: "It has come to my attention from eBay memebers that my first two photos do not match up. This is correct, I fear in my carelessness when I took cover photo two I accidentally took out peice of the front cover all from its side. I apologize I did not see this error. Thanks for users pointing it out to me." Doesn't appear too concerned that this accident cost him/her thousands of dollars. Not addressed: the countless other things that make the two pictures not the same book.

I sold a few comics to Gino - no hassle and quick payment. A+ -- dave

When is this movie due out or even some casting?

I thought it odd that mr.cgc was selling a raw book.... Then I scrolled down and saw in the description that ALL BOOKS ARE RAW.

How is INJUSTICE doing? http://www.ebay.com/sch/Comics-/63/i.html?_from=R40&LH_Complete=1&_nkw=injustice+gods+among+us+1

Thanks for the heads-up on this. I went to a LCS sale last night and picked up a couple copies cheap.

Ken - That's Officially good news! I saw that you're going to be at a local con in a couple weeks in Illinois. What are you going to be up to at the show? YES! I'll be at Mighty Con --- I'll be signing as a guest of the con. Would love to see you there. Here's a link to the show: http://mightycon.com/ Will you have any issues at your table/booth? -- in case the locals don't have any for sale.

I think I read in the EoW thread that some stores had this problem with issue 3 last week. My LCS was fine for EoW but every copy of MP 12 had an indent running the entire length.

Ken - That's Officially good news! I saw that you're going to be at a local con in a couple weeks in Illinois. What are you going to be up to at the show?

I didn't look back through the pages, but is there a listing for all of the books (and I'm sure there are *a lot*) that feature two teams/groups running at each other? And this motif spans many different ages. Such as: Is this a Marvel-only thing or are there some DC examples?

Thanks for the Netherlands Best Offer info. After eBay turned it off in the US, Canada was working to get the BO data. Then they turned it off for the Canada site and I was looking for a replacement.

#1 They removed the $0.50 (or similar) listing fees for BIN (up to a certain amount per month). #2 All listings are now a straight 10% off the top, so no "savings" if you have an auction that ends at $10. Previously, auctions ending under a certain amount would be less than 10% in fees.

1. How did Epic Kill get a second print? 2. Is there something different in it in regards to Revival than the first print?

That's New Teen Titans #2 And to eBay's idea of "high grade" -
