    The Infinity Gauntlet (War, Crusade, Thanos Quest) Appreciation Thread

    in Modern Age Comic Books

    Posted

    Looks like you have QUITE the issue there Ryan - It's a "Collector's Item"! :o:baiting:

     

    This one really IS a collectors item lol lol

     

    Okay... read WATIW #2 last night. Warlock has set out to divide the infinity gems up and accoss the universe in an effort to avoid the problems that have arisen from a single person having ownership (see spoilers for more)

    He picks:

     

    Drax the Destroyer - Power Gem

    Moondragon - Mind Gem

    Gamora - Time Gem

    Pip the Troll - Space Gem

    Himself - Soul Gem

     

    and

     

    An unknown person to possess the reality gem. The book goes through and shows the gathering of the watch, but doesn't explain at this point why these individuals were chosen. In the next issue.... the High Evolutionary.

     

     

     

    I also read:

     

    What If Silver Surfer Possessed the Infinity Gauntlet

     

     

    (1) Surfer was able to snatch the gauntlet instead of missing it in the IG series

    (2) Become a supreme ruler of the universe

    (3) Ends hunger, hate, war, etc.

    (4) Kills Mephisto, his enemy of old

    (5) Chooses Warlock and Thanos as advisors

    (6) The power begins to consume him

    (7) He sends Thanos and Warlock to Dr. Strange while he decides what to do

    (8) They resurrect Shalla Bal to visit the Surfer and talk him into giving up the gauntlet

    (9) Instead, he splits the power and gives 1/2 to SB, and she proceeds to turn against him (crazy).

    (10) They fight and ultimately the Surfer realizes he has become a madman.

    (11) He restores the universe to the way it was before

    (12) He and SB leave in a flash of light, supposedly destroying the infinity gems

    (13) Strange and Warlock return to Earth and Thanos remains to consider what has happened

    (14) Thanos picks up the gauntlet and looks at the stars

    (15) On a far away and unknown planet, SS and SB live on a world he created for them only, just before destroying the gems.

    (16) SS has returned to Norrin Radd and they live out their days on the planet.

     

    Cool book (thumbs u

    General discussion thread - keep the other threads clean

    in Comics Market - Forum Only Selling Area

    Posted · Edited by heymikesays

    yea may not be the best idea then, maybe the person has to include a picture of themselves holding a thread sale sign with a date on it or something? I think this is the direction sales threads need to go in, accountability, this way they cant hide behind their computers at least we have pictures to go with the name posted.

     

    You still run into the problem of not knowing if the picture they used is of that person or not. Someone could just use a picture of someone else and instead of their real picture.

     

    While I'm all for accountability; I just don't see it happening; in an open forum; that people are allowed to post items up for sale.

     

    Psy

     

    what about setting criteria, like your first 5 sales have to be $10 and below. This would establish how well the noob: ships, rates on condition, follows through on 5 transactions, and the truth of word to their sale.

     

    think of it as passing their first 30 or 90 days of new hire employement. At least 5 different boardies will have an encounter and experience with the noob.

     

    Plus i'm tired of seeing new accounts <10 posts selling $1000+ valued books as a joke.

    Batman Adventures 12. Harley!

    in Modern Age Comic Books

    Posted

    What's :sick: Harley's official 2nd appearance? Could be like Deadpool's 2nd appearance (X-force 2) and not see much action, although should be much more scarce.

    I thought it was the Harley Quinn One Shot with the Alex Ross cover.

    Madlove 2/94

    Batman: Harley Quinn 1999

     

    What's with all this love for Harley? Batman Adventures 12 was on my radar but I figure I could get it later on but now the prices are :sick:. Should I hold off on buying this until prices settle down or should I get it before the price gets even higher?

     

    Yep, prices are looking ridiculous. look at this one that sold for $747.59!!!!!! :sick:http://www.ebay.com/itm/360756052847?ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1436.l2649

     

    but you're more than welcome to make me an offer for my bundle going on here ;) : http://www.ebay.com/itm/Batman-Adventures-12-Origin-1st-Harley-Quinn-Mad-Love-Ivy-23-1-23-2-3D-DC-NM/151134667664?_trksid=p2050601.m2372&_trkparms=aid%3D111000%26algo%3DREC.CURRENT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D17614%26meid%3D1872739197906179320%26pid%3D100085%26prg%3D8172%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D151134667664%26%26clkid%3D1872745577090046002&_qi=RTM1562569

     

     

    CGC Case Indentations

    in Comic Book Grading and Restoration Issues

    Posted

    Good to read all of the feedback so far from since when I first started this thread. I guess I should ask if there is someone on the forums who is proficient with the legal process involved in filing a class action lawsuit. If ever that be the next course of action, I suspect that the mere notion should raise some added attention from CGC. I would recommend those of you encountering damages related to sales begin documenting your losses if you intend to follow this direction collaboratively.

    I put a bid in on this tonite but it's a pretty fugly looking 6.5... (shrug)

    Not sure it looks/grades nicer than heymikesays' 5.5...

    http://comics.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=121333&lotNo=10579

    Nice 5.5 btw... :headbang:

     

    thanks! I actually sent it a few days ago to get it pressed and resubbed. i'll probably get a 50/50 vote from people saying "wth" and "yea, go for it" but hey, like you said it presents really well and I'm willing to take a gamble on it getting a higher score once its done (thumbs u

    Hmm did the person pressing it give feedback on upgrade potential? Only reason I ask is the pic looks like it has tanning. CGC has been knocking books pretty hard due to tanning. Either way, good luck. Nothing like that good news of an upgrade. :cloud9:

     

    yea, the original submitter was given the same feedback, but upon closer inspection I can see some non-color breaking creases and bends that can certainly serve better given the kind of condition I've been observing in 5.5 and 6.5 out there. This one has no color breaks on the spine at all. like you said, it got docked hard for tanning. I'm going through CCS on this one to see how well their services go. from what I am aware, it was never pressed. just hoping for the best and that darn crease/bend I saw to go away.
