Doc McCoy

The Schulze pieces that he's attempting to pass off are obviously fakes as well.  Signature on all three look different.

They sure do come up with some creative descriptions for why their forgeries aren't quite right: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1988-ORIG-PEANUTS-SCHULZ-SNOOPY-COMIC-STRIP-HAND-DRAWN-SIGNEDED-SCHULZ-/302411229692?hash=item46691d29fc:g:uksAAOSwcYxZjJD8

Nothing to do with this weeks episode, but still fun if you haven't seen it yet.

The writers went out of their way to note that Sam hadn't been told that his father and brother were roasted alive. I guess that makes Sam the new Lord Tarley now?

I don't think so, since he's taken the Black.

Have a feeling that he knows someone that may be coming into a position of authority that could release him from his vows to the Night's Watch (if the Night's Watch even exists once this is all said and done.)

Didn't the witch say Cersei would have 3 children? Maybe this child is never born or just BS to give Jamie more reason to go on fighting, because he was ready to give up.

Creative liberties taken by the TV production.

Was there a new book published? I thought they ended at least a season ago.

No, Martin has been working on the Winds of Winter for several years now with several missed deadlines.

As for Tyrion, it's been hinted at in the book, but not really as much in the tv series that his father may not have actually been a Lannister:  https://winteriscoming.net/2016/05/06/game-of-thrones-theorycrafting-is-tyrion-lannister-actually-a-targaryen/

What does your LCS have as far as a "Comic Club".

My LCS uses this program: https://www.bellycard.com

You get a little card that you scan in a the register each visit that allows you to earn points.  Accrue enough points and you get a free Pop keychain, discount on certain books, etc.

Really enjoyed this episode.  Brought up several thoughts:

• Sam, where are your manners?  You never interrupt a woman when she's inadvertently trying to tell you that your illegitimately born best friend isn't illegitimately born at all and is the rightful heir of the 7 Kingdoms!
• So Arya can kill the entire House of Frey, but can't manage to sneak around a castle she's known since birth without Littlefinger catching on that he's being followed?  Not buying this one. 
• Jon and Drogon!  Jon and the Avengers Westeros Coast!
• Where the holy hell is Ghost!?!

I know nothing about these things, but how can you tell just from the art? I've seen hundreds of bad con sketches that wouldn't pass muster either.

 

The complete lack of uniformity in the characters size and the unsure lines would lead me to believe they were traced right away.

Not only is it the top of the Andy Kubert class, but, it's also probably the most sought-after later issue of the X-Men and one of the biggest Marvel books from 1990-present in terms of back issue demand.  I'm not trying to make more of it than it is, but, it's undeniable that it's a highly sought-after, very speculated-on book with tons of interest among comic collectors/speculators of a certain age.    

I'd say Gene's argument here is pretty "Unimprovable".  I had to go and do a search to see what was on the FF 77 cover, but immediately knew UXM 266.  While everyone has their artist preferences, from a historic standpoint, I'd be hard pressed to come up with a more desired character introduction from that era of Marvel Comics.

I think whatever shine Gambit had back in the 90's was lost long, long ago.

Couldn't you make the same argument for the FF?  Due to the contract with Fox, Marvel has pretty much banished them to the Negative Zone.  While Gambit was mishandled, at least he has currently been reintroduced into the X-Men fold and is featured in one of their main titles.

One bidder's no different than another, right?

In this case, I wouldn't think so.  Someone employed by Heritage my have a more intimate knowledge of the auction itself, when the best time to place a bid within their system may be, etc than the average bidding public.

Depends on whether it's an East Coast or West Coast show. 

Makes perfect sense.  If you're with Chris and Ron, I imagine it would look like this:

Necro'ing this post so I don't create a new topic.

I'm looking at a penciled only page and the description says "Pencils Only. Inked Version likely exists." So can I assume it would be a prelim and not the final/published version?

Not necessarily a prelim.  More than likely the inking was done over blue line due to deadlines.  Both pieces could be considered published art.

Not that there's anything wrong with it...it's just "ambitious".

Thanks!

I hope my con report was half as thorough and entertaining as yours, Alex!

Thanks all!

I put in a bid on the Lashley and it doubled what most people I talked to thought it would go for.  I got thumped.  Oh, and I think F for Fake might squeeze out a literal last second win with his Wagner guess.  Way I figure it will need to go for over $716 for me to win and I think it will be about $600.  Either way, it was a fun little competition Jay!

I think we forgot to factor the "Con" effect into the equation for the 2nd round.
