  1. It probably sounds better to say the price is xx, but you can get a discount for cash or check.

    This is a recurring discussion here, and it fascinates me each time.

     

    Is there really a difference between a seller saying:

     

    1) Book costs $1030, but take a $30 discount if paying cash or check;

     

    vs

     

    2) Book costs $1000, but add $30 if paying via fee-based PayPal;

     

    The only difference is mental, right? Why does the phrasing in #2 bother us so much more than #1? This is just a rhetorical question, of course...just one of the vagaries of human psychology, I suppose...fascinating.

     

    People getting a discount. :banana:

    People getting an extra fee. :pullhair:

    People paying a fee they don't know they are paying. zzz

  2. Hard to classify him as underrated with 3 Eisners for Best Writer and another 3 for Best Continuing Series on his mantle.

     

    Not to mention the hit series that sells like hot cakes.

    What current series, Saga? It's lucky to crack the top 25 in a given month.

     

    Underrated in terms of is he currently the best in the business? There are probably a large stack of Eisner award winners that you have never read. At least I haven't.

     

    Top 25 would place it among a bunch of Marvel/DC titles and The Walking Dead. Not bad for an indy.

     

    I attended the Eisner's this year and believe me I hadn't read them all either. But I'm not talking about Best Anthology Reprint of Foreign Material in a Digital Medium for Kids Under 12. I'm talking about Best Writer and Best Continuing Series. You'd be hard pressed to find an underrated winner in either category over the last 5 to 10 years.

     

    But enough about awards – I don't think he's over or underrated – I think he gets the due befitting his talent and output.

     

    Your mileage may vary.

     

     

  3. Batman Red Robin #19 Carrie Kelley1st appearance in the New 52 and 1st in continuity to the best of my knowledge. Nothing groundbreaking. This was a $1 book last month and maybe a $5 now.

    had my 5 copy order canceled by MYBOOKCOMICSHOP last week........

     

    Coincidentally grabbed 2 of these on my lunch today. Left the other 8 or so in the bin.

  4. Your best bet is probably trying to catch him at a a lesser known convention or buying some OA but even that's become difficult now. I hope he eventually get's his stuff back up for sale.

     

    Why did he pull his OA off of splashart's website? Does anyone know?

     

    I got a cover long ago and am glad I did when I had the chance.

     

    Here, here!

     

    I said A cover not 80% of them lol

    I don't know for certain but the art didn't seem to be moving. At least not the covers.

     

    Whatever the reason it seems to have created demand. I've never seen the interest in Ottley OA so high.
