In general I agree with Nexus - I would buy OA over a slab 11 times out of 10 from the same book if prices were relatively close. I think, as was mentioned, that the pool of slab collectors is greater and slabs are seen as a more liquid asset than a typical OA page. As much as we all love the comic media 1st, finances have to be a consideration.

I KNEW something fishy was going on when I was trying to complete my x-men run

Nice! I've really been digging Eaton's pencils lately. I may have to get one of his pages

Those are sweet. I bought some of Mico's Moonknight and Rage of Thor work from you a few years ago, before I joined the boards. Very nice pencils.

Even your 'next tier' pieces make some of us novice OA collectors jealous Thanks for sharing

Court has an impressive collection on CAF. Anyone who can sport a Romita sr. ASM OA cover AND a McFarlane ASM OA cover is a player.

I feel like I get redirected to an alternate comic universe whenever I come to this thread...

You need to set one up; I want to see the hoard of Chew OA you're sitting on

That is too rad!!!! Great commission piece!

The Scarlet Spider cover is sweet. I really like the CPW3 Dredd also. He's one artist I love & don't have any work by. Maybe soon...

Looks like Scott Eaton's signature; I have one of his older pages, but he's really been nailing it lately. Thanks for the props on Debris 4; I got it from Jason at Interior Pages. Funny story: I originally asked about another page & he sent a photo with this cover in the background (this was a couple of months before it was released). Even though the image of this cover was partially cut off, I could tell it was a great cover, so I changed my order. And I agree re: Riley; he really brings something different to to table artistically - hard to define, but I'd have to call him an experimental artist.

I know Debris never got any love, but I loved this cover to issue 4 by Riley Rossmo. SO many good design elements: composition, the foreboding outline of the monster (can't remember what it was called), and Riley's unique inking style to name a few.

Nice Score! Since there's no OA for Saga, any of Fiona's sketches should be a keeper!

I need to figure out how to use this phrase in an everyday conversation...

If it sells for $750 BIN, the raw flood gates will open and feeding frenzy will begin.

I agree - if you're the first CGC 9.8, go high.

Hit up Carter3175... he might can hook you up ... Viper days - wasn't he buying 100 - 1000 of everything?

using TWD as a measuring stick is misleading. The popularity of the comic/show coincided with a cultural rise of interest in zombies. The book and show are a great product, but I think they caught lighting in a bottle the way that the once-in-a-generation cultural icons do; Star Wars, TMNT, Star Trek are a few. I'm not saying it can't happen again - there are a lot great books out and I'd love to see some of these creator owned books get big. I know other boardies feel the same way. That being said, NBC programming is currently terrible, so if TSG is done well, it could be a hit for them.

Love your service Whetteon - keep up the good work. It's always an interesting read. My son - who's really into video games - loves looking at your game section.

Yeah - it seems like a meme that could go viral.

John had a prototype Chog at AACC - I believe he said they'll ready for sale in mid-March. It was pretty cool; good quality.
