Just got around to opening my package from DF that had Bedlam #1 in it

 

CGC used the thicker case on this, and the book is just sliding all over the place inside the slab.

My #1 is the same but they managed to get the NYCC variant in the thin case and it sits nicely. Wouldn't they be the same book thickness?

Has anyone here started a 9.8 run? Would love to see pics of some slabbed copies...

Just read the first three issues and waiting for #4 to download on the DH app.

I've read 1-7 today, will read 8 tonight and then the hunt begins to put together a raw run for myself.

Only downside to finding a gem like this is my need to own the singles.

im going to have to break down and pick up the TPB

 

Might work to your benefit - I find its the type of comic that reads better when you read 3-4 of them at a time...

 

This is true of just about any book. I often save up books for 2-3 months to read several at a time.

True - I just find that with most books i read I like to go back and read the last issue again first, with MP I feel i need to go back at least 2 issues.

What are everyones plans - stick or twist?

Selling off my raw Saga, Revival and Bedlam to put a 9.8 run together of each. So I guess I'd say enjoying it enough to collect it.

It looks nice with the keyline typeface. The blue background had a bit of a colour band through it like most of the first prints though...

Just went to my LCS and there were only three copies of #8B but 30 or more #10.

I know they normaly get in quite a few second prints, was the run on #8B unusually small?

Anyone find this at their LCS?

Bought myself a #7 Ghost 9.8 Universal yesterday, looking forward to welcoming it to the tribe...

Have two TPBs on the way from Challenger with the signed bookplate illustration.

 

+ love those Phantom covers...

Arrived today - 51/200 and 113/200

The purple pen looks awesome...

I think I just went into shock...

Well done - I saw that when there was 15 mins to go. US shipping only, otherwise I was all over it - such a bargain.

can we get confirmation on this? i think Tim & Mike deserve to know

I'd prefer to just take Andy's word for it...

If I can get my hands on a 9.8 ghost I would sell of 8 out of the 10 that I have

 

eBay sucks for saga slabs there is like 6 of them on there and 5 are #1s

Couple of 2nd and 5th prints but no 1st prints of 3-9. I know there is a #2 first

Print, but I'm not spending 23 bucks shipping from Canada

I'm trying to get together a 9.8 candidate of #2-#8 to submit myself for slabbing, because

A. There are none on eBay

B. Hoping it will work out cheaper

Currently have two complete sets of raws and half of a third set - should be able to get at least one 9.8 per issue together...

Flipping through back issues today at my LCS looking for the 2nd print Saga #7 that I've told myself isn't needed on my last two visits and I came across 2 x Revival #1 first print and 1 x 4th print...

Got them 10% below cover.

They don't even have first prints of issue 5 left on the shelf... Weird.

Got my copies from Chapel Hill today and wow!...great copies. Flawless

 

I got two copies of ToT #1 in excellent condition from them last spring. Highly recommended dealer.

+1 - nice guys.

Great recommendation - just jumped on to their site and got a few #3 first prints... Great prices too considering the demand ATM

Yep I'm astounded that someone is asking that much thinking they won't still own it in 29 days and 22 hours

Woah!

9.0 2A

I wonder if the prices for first print #1 and #2 will go up now that #3 was such a good read... You can still get both prints really cheap on eBay... Might rent a warehouse and stock up...

For me, if you're a store (online or not) that buys direct from a supplier you should stick with cover price. You shouldn't start going through your back issues and adjusting - that's the charm of a comic store - finding gems at cover price.

Resellers can charge whatever they want as they're matching the market trends, but if you bought in bulk at cost price from the supplier - sell it at cover.

Just my thoughts, would prob think differently if I owned a store...

I would push again for one set at listed price and money back for the rest.
