  1. Lot of modern variants, proceeds paid directly to Brittany’s fund.  Great books for the variant collectors or anyone who loves Dell’Otto or Iron Fist!

    A little different approach: pay what you feel is fair for the lot (minimum is $100 shipped in US only).

     

    I will match the sale value with an additional donation up to $500.  (i.e.  If you pay $200, I will match $200.  If you pay $500, I will match $500.  etc.)

  2. To the CGC Board Members, their family and friends:

     

    I wanted to provide an update on my situation.  I am not online very much anymore, but this community has been a huge part of my life for the past few years and it will continue to be so.  I look forward to the day I am healthy and back on the boards daily (I really do love this place).

     

    Health update: I have still been pretty lucky by heart failure standards.  There have been a few hospitalizations and some scares, but I am still able to spend time at home while I wait for a heart.  It has been roughly six months since I was listed and the doctors have let me know it could be awhile longer (given my height and blood type).  I am extremely thankful for the opportunity to be around my wife and son so much.  If I were healthy and working I would have missed so much, honestly I didn't realize how much kids change day to day.

     

    As before, I will continue to participate on the boards as I feel up to it and will try to respond to PMs.   I will keep people here posted, but please know that my wife will be updating the HelpHOPELive website on my individual page as we have major news.

     

    I want to reiterate what I said last time.  Your generosity is truly touching and we are very thankful that when the day comes, we have funds available to help with medical costs.  The money is still all in the account, ready for that day when I get the phone call (hopefully sooner rather than later).  It can only be applied to medical expenses and the HelpHOPELive organization manages it all as we navigate during stressful times.

     

    Thank you so much, I hope to have good news soon!

    PS - I apologize for another name change.  When the new site hit I was curious how the new process would work and if this name was available.  Low and behold, it changed over instantly!

     

    Please know that my former board names are SpeedForce and rfoiii.  :foryou:

    Our family is overwhelmed with happiness behind the love, support, encouragement and generosity of the CGC board members and their families. The kindness that was shown to our family was unbelievably heartwarming and well beyond our expectations. We never would imagine that so many people whom I have never met in person or had little interaction with have been both so supportive and generous. Particularly there are members with whom I have exchanged opposing ideas (sometimes in an unfriendly manner) that stepped forward and put it aside to help my family and I. I am floored by the kindness of the people here and am proud to be a member of this community.

     

    com·mu·ni·ty

    2. a feeling of fellowship with others, as a result of sharing common attitudes, interests, and goals.

     

    The members here aren't just brothers/sisters in arms with collectibles, we are truly a community of people supporting people and I couldn't be more honored to be here.

     

     

    I want to extend a special thank you to Dave, Bryan and Sharon. Without them none of this would have been possible and the additional hours they spent (during the holidays) to move this thread (and the others) forward is amazing. You are truly the some of the kindest people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Thank you so very much!

     

    Health update: I am very lucky at this point to still be able to live at home while waiting for a heart, there are many who cannot leave the hospital. My condition is "stable" for the most part right now and am patiently waiting for the "call." My doctors informed me that due to my size (I am a tall/large man) and my blood type (O-) matching me will prove a longer process than average. This means it could be awhile before I receive a transplant. The unfortunate truth of the matter is that someone has to pass away for me to get a second chance at a full life - so whenever it comes it will be with both sorrow and joy.

     

    I will continue to participate on the boards as I feel up to it and will be happy to answer anyone's questions. Additionally my wife will be providing updates via the HelpHOPELive website on my individual page so that everyone will see our progress up to and through a successful heart transplant.

    My family and I want to thank everyone for their love, support and generosity. We are overwhelmed by the compassion on these boards from people I know, people I don't and even people whom have been at the other end of a discussion with me.

     

    We sincerely appreciate everything everyone has done and continues to do. Everything helps!

     

    And a special thanks to Bryan, Dave and most of all Sharon! I was floored with your offers to help and without you none of this would have been possible!

  8. Hmm should have probably ordered at least 1 more set.

     

    You could probably say that about any variant really. Only it seems the ones you do order multiple copies of, happen to not perform. :frustrated:

     

    lol. You're got that right.

     

    I feel like to win that game you have to multiple versions of most of the variants and hope that the profits from the select few that take off to carry the day. If you have an online or brick&mortar store you should be fine with selling the laggers without much loss as long as you didn't slab them.

  9. I wouldn't necessarily say 31K is now the "new price value" for that book. These big books like that rise and fall all the time, it's really what matters how it does over the course of the long term, I highly doubt this book with fall any further 20-25 years from now. The problem is that some people get impatient and sell far too early. People use the excuse "Well the last one sold for XXXXX.00 last month" as leverage to get a cheaper price. I wouldn't worry about the price of this book one bit.

     

    Someone got an absolute steal on that book...

     

    Trust me, I wouldn't have sold it if I had a choice.

  10.  

    hm

     

    Good point stressing how often these rare variants end up in the crapper.

     

    They are random variants and were all bought mostly in two days... Something stinks...

     

    :gossip: Goes back to September 9th. The 3 months that eBay shows.

     

    Maybe you wanted the 1:200's, direct from the publisher, taking off....

     

    I guess I am missing the point... :shrug:

     

    I don't see any discernable pattern or pricing trends here. The books are across multiple genres and collecting focuses across multiple non-key issues.

     

    I could be wrong.
