:thumbsup: That didn't take long! Good pick up, bud.

Sandman #1 CGC 9.6 s/s Neil Gaiman, Sam Kieth & Dave McKean - $925 *(1st Morpheus) SOLD to ebixter Gorgeous book. I still don't know why this is a 9.6. From my uncirculated source of books ---actually, all the Sandman comics in this thread are from that source---I felt they were all solid 9.8 candidates, but those dark covers are unforgiving.

Sandman #2 CGC 9.6 s/s Neil Gaiman, Sam Kieth & Dave McKean - $500 SOLD Census stats---3 copies at 9.8 s/s (don't know who is on them, have to assume at least one is Neil Gaiman---) with one recorded sale in 2013. Not Gaiman. The next highest is this book, which stands alone in the 9.6 s/s census. Then there are some 9.4 and 9.2 s/s ,but don't know who is on them.

Sandman #3 CGC 9.6 s/s Mike Dringenberg, Sam Kieth & Dave McKean - $325

Sandman #7 CGC 9.6 s/s Mike Dringenberg & Dave McKean - $275

Sandman #8 CGC 9.4 s/s Mike Dringenberg & Dave McKean - $275 *(1st appearance of death)

These next few books are priced pretty much on sheer availability, signatures and the probability that many of these signatures are not very likely to be replicated (for obvious reasons). 1) announced retirement from signings 2) lack of interest in shows and/or private signings due to personal reasons These were difficult to get from the get go---and you don't see many of these books on the market because those guys who have them---are in black hole collections. Ignore the grade, focus on the signatures. They're all rock solid. If you pass, pass because the price tag is too steep or because you're patient enough to wait for someone else to sell their copies at some point in time. But please think twice about passing if it's because you're patient enough to wait to get the signatures yourself at some point down the road. You'll be waiting a VERY long time. :thumbsup: Harmon, Schmitty & JJ will no doubt back me up on that.

Star Wars Splinter of the Mind's Eye #4 CGC 9.6 s/s Alan Dean Foster - $225 SOLD to Matt_Kay

Star Wars Splinter of the Mind's Eye #3 CGC 9.8 s/s Alan Dean Foster - $325

Star Wars Splinter of the Mind's Eye #2 CGC 9.6 s/s Alan Dean Foster - $225 All I have left on issue #2 is 9.6 and lower

Star Wars Splinter of the Mind's Eye #1 CGC 9.8 s/s Alan Dean Foster - $475 Anyone who is a SW fanatic, probably knows that ADF was hired by Lucas to write (again, this is back in the 70s prior to ESB) the follow up to New Hope. That story was Splinter of the Mind's Eye. The book was released, but Empire was the sequel. Dark Horse adapted it in the early 90s. ADF doesn't do shows or appearances---pretty much ever. This is part of the only signing to date for CGC signature series, a mail away I did with Alan earlier this year. The only s/s books on census are the ones that I did privately with ADF. Below is my last 9.8 copy of #1
