Overstreet also lists the Flintstones New York World’s Fair special from about 1965 as a warehouse find. I bought mine from a street vendor in NYC in the ‘80s, where they seemed to be plentiful.

40% discount on those ones… and that’s Canadian dollars, as well.

Picked up at an antique mall, for a pretty diverse buy... Prices were substantially lower than what's shown on the stickers.

If I were in your shoes, I would wait until later this year, when the trailer for the Flash movie is released, and then list it as a lot. If excitement for the movie creates a few new Flash fans, I think you could get $2-$3 an issue for the full run. Maybe list the whole set for $299 OBO?

I'm thinking out loud here a bit, but there have been some strong auction results for the DCCP 22 Whitman of late. There have been 4 on eBay in the past month (see picture), but I'm starting to think that perhaps the discussion needs to change a bit. Ten years ago, we weren't certain this book existed, then we thought there were fewer than 10 copies that had been found. These days, I know there's a single boardie who probably has 10 copies, and the CGC census has 32, which is probably more than any other DC Whitman has. Has this book been over hyped? It's one of the least "noticeable" DC Whitmans, in that it is easily mistaken for a regular edition. Did this "invisibility" make it seem rarer than it actually is?

I’ve rescued 3 of those from the dollar bins over the years… They’re still out there.

Their feedback appears to all be from the sale of glazed windows.

OG fan here… I saw the original film 14 times in the theatre in 1977, and I also like Disneyfied garbage just fine.

Well, it is a 12c Marvel in a post-2021world.

Promethea was astounding. I would put it and From Hell as his two greatest achievements. (your mileage may vary)

Maus is the only comic to have won a Pulitzer Prize, though they also give an annual prize (most years) for editorial cartooning. To the best of my knowledge, the first appearance of Maus is in Raw Volume 1 Number 2 from 1980. Most chapters of Maus (except the final one) were printed in editions of Raw between 1980 and 1991.

While we’re wishing for things that will never happen, I wish Moore and Sienkiewicz would finish Big Numbers. I agree that things like Twilight of the Superheroes showed enormous potential and vision, and I would love to have see; Moore take on more. I was also a huge fan of the ABC line. But I do fear that as the various League of Extraordinary Gentlemen series rolled out, they got progressively more muddled, creaky and self-referential. Some of the Moore work we’ve see over the past few years is a shadow of some his earlier work. I feel the same way about Grant Morrison, BTW. I was a huge fan, but in recent years, he’s disappeared so far up his own horse that he’s unlikely to ever see daylight again.

There is a more detailed (and very friendly) discussion of this over in The Whitman Thread"... check it out!

This, at least, makes more sense to me. This Guide was released both as an insert (in Amazing Spider-Man #234), and as a standalone edition (I know firsthand, as I acquired at least two copies from my LCS when it was released). This is similar to the Sonic insert, which was (apparently) both a bound-in insert and a standalone release. It makes sense that these could be graded as standalone items, with CGC noting that they cannot determine which edition is which, as they do on the Sonic label. This (to me) is completely different than the Master of the Universe insert which was never produced as a standalone item, or the Nostalgic Mad books, which are incomplete copies of the books that were published.

I think there is also a problem for books going into Australia, at least for books shipping from Canada… I sent a package on October 9, which has been sitting with Australia Post since October 21.

To be fair, the movie was based on the novels by William F. Nolan, which were basically thin plots to string together a series of sex scenes. The movie may have been reflecting that a bit.

For a moment, I thought you were claiming to be a time traveller… I was going to ask for future data on newsstand distribution.

Does @divad have a new account?

I also love these covers, but the books aren’t squarebound. I imagine they are harder to find in 9.8 given that they are modestly valued and 35 years old.

I suppose it' a 9.9, but Marvel Collectible Classics #5 for $20,000 seems a bit of a stretch... https://www.ebay.ca/itm/275138867603?mkevt=1&mkpid=0&emsid=e11021.m43.l3160&mkcid=7&ch=osgood&euid=c3f5458ef4fb457384e4aaac161a63cb&bu=43155438028&ut=RU&osub=-1~1&crd=20220126014744&segname=11021&sojTags=ch%3Dch%2Cbu%3Dbu%2Cut%3Dut%2Cosub%3Dosub%2Ccrd%3Dcrd%2Csegname%3Dsegname%2Cchnl%3Dmkcid

Just on the import tax question, that’s typically due on delivery, and collected by the shipping company. However, as I understand US government practices, there are no duties owing on items valued below $800.00.
