  1. This argument over 608 only further illustrates the confusion surrounding first appearances. This is why the definition clearly states: A first appearance/debut is the first time a character appears anywhere. Insertion into a narrative is not needed, an appearance on a cover is not needed. Though these things may be more desirable to collectors ans sell for many times more based on that desirability they still should not be considered a first appearance.

    That is your definition of first appearance, as you've stated many times, and it's correct from a strict dictionary standpoint. However, as comic books are a storytelling medium, what is collected as first appearances is usually character involvement in a narrative, not Previews ads, CSN stories, flyers, coupons or inter-office memos.

     

    Once again, despite the dictionary, if someone calls you 'bro', don't assume they're your brother. :baiting:

     

     

    This definition is not a dictionary definition, it comes right outta Overstreet!

     

    MrWeen Just gotta say I love your sig photo. I just saw the movie you got it from, The Zero Theorem, which is great by the way!

  2. Made my first visit to CGC headquarters 2 weeks ago. I only live an hour away so it was really convenient to not have to spend the extra money on shipping, was also able to get it the day it was ready which was great. I met one of the staff and she was extremely nice. Also got some cool insight on what employees can and can't do with there own books. Overall a really pleasant experience and I'll probably be back next week if my other books are on schedule. Also a plus to not worry about shipping my books.

  3. Well I just got a package in a bubble mailer, which I don't mind since it's only a $10 book (The Life After) but it was in between 2 thin priority box cardboard and just barely fit the book resulting in a ton of spine stress, if he had used thick cardboard that extended over the book it would've probably been fine. The guy may have a replacement to send but if he sends it the same way is it even worth it to get another or just get a refund? Seems like a really big seller. Has over 17,000 feedback.

  4. This guy on eBay seems to have an unlimited stock of SDCC2 for sale!

     

    I tought in the past that this comic was somewhat "rare" or at worst a little dificult to find, but i have doubts about it...

    do you know if there's been some kind of "wharehouse find" on this comic?

     

    regards

     

    There are a few Hellboy collectors out there that caught on early, and bought everything they could find.

    Imapaqrat, who is a seller loaded with the early Hellboy books, posted this picture the previous year when selling off his Dime Press 4's one at a time. I had some good email chats with him about Hellboy. SDCC 2, Next Men 21 and Hellboy 1 were some of his deep stock.

  5. I haven't invested much I got my GoG #1 9.8 signed by Stan Lee for a grand total of $51. Stan Lee sig was a gift. I actually am quite excited for the movie. My gf after seeing the trailer wants everything Rocket. I think it will bring in a decent amount of women which will help. It has a good amount of buzz at the moment and it opens in a spot with not a lot of competition, although August is notoriously a slower Summer month for box office.. I think if it approaches $150mil domestic its golden. Overseas will take care of the rest. It also is suppose to feature Thanos and play into Avengers 3. Marvels brand also means something right now. But I guess we'll just have to wait. I personally think it looks bad , I'll be there opening weekend..
