  1. Thanks Shark. I new at least one guy would celebrate with me .
  2. I am pumped up today! I don't want to brag or rub it in. I just want to share my good news with a few guys who might understand my happiness. I was able to get my grade back from CGC for a Vampirella: A Scarlet Thirst nn 1993. It was a miracle find in an old storage unit that I purchased from a guy for about $3. When I picked it up I wouldn't let him touch it and take the grade down. It is coming back 9.8 with White Pages. So rare. I am a few books away from an entire set of CGC 9.8 Dave Stevens with White Pages. My set does not include all the new Dynamite non-D.S. covers because they aren't very interesting to me. Maybe I will join the registry soon and see where I stand. Hope you are well!
  3. Nice! That Monster in 9.8 is hard to find. I always enjoy a Dave Stevens road trip score!
  4. Looks like whatever it was found him first I have been checking back with eager anticipation. Please don't hang us out to dry.
  5. Nice book! I would love to hear the story of how you found this? Hopefully a 9.8. Isn't it painful to wait for your cgc books to return? I am waiting on 4 Stevens Covers to come back from CGC right now and am embarassed to admit I check my status page about 4X's a day.
  6. Hey Stevens friends. I found two Xena Warrior Princess #2 today in a storage locker sale today. I paid 50 cents. One of them will most likely show up at 9.8 - one will be a 9.4 to 9.6. Not a bad find. It was full from a comic store that went out of business about 10 years ago. I looked and looked for 3 hours for more Eclipse, Blackthorne, Harris and Darkhorse Dave Stevens and found nothing. Two weeks ago I found a DNA Agents #24, The Shadow and Savage 1, and an Airboy #5 all in NM. 2 out of the 3 should be a 9.8. I consider all of this a major victory since these books have really began to dry up on my hunts lately. For the years before this most of the raw books I found were in VF at best. The hunt continues . . .
  7. I love that Stevens cover! I would also love it in a 9.8!
  8. Good news and bad news. I am pumped up to finally score a copy of DNAgents #24 in CGC 9.8 yesterday, especially since Bosco685 continues his hoardng . From what I understand from everyone here this book is hard to find without a mark near the staple. On a not so happy note I tried buying another raw Dave Stevens cover from ebay - Cheval Noir #1. I am seeking to get that in CGC 9.8. It looked nice enough I thought I could get it pressed if needed. Wrong again. This makes me 0 for 8 on ebay attempts. That may be my last attempt at buying a raw cover from anything but a Walk-In Comic store so I can see it upclose and grade it myself. More good news is that is looks fantastic in a Mylar until I fall into the the supreme copy.
  9. I took a trip to Reno, NV today and visited a comic book store. Before digging around, I asked the owner if he had any Dave Stevens covers. Positively the owner knew who Dave Stevens was. Negatively, he said there was a Dave Stevens fan who comes to work at the store for free once a week. If there is a DS cover that comes in, this volunteer pulls it before it goes to the shelf. My response (with a smile): "So basically you are telling me that there is no reason for me to visit your store again." It was an acurate statement but I regretted that it came out so rude.
  10. For sure the best cover I do not own and in my opinion one of the top covers ever drawn by Dave. This post haunts me. Please comic world, shops, friends of all Dave Stevens fans, send down just 1 more 9.8 from heaven. .
  11. Who is the member with all of the DNAgents 24 CGC? They posted the cgc's of them together lika a dancing rocket's picture?
  12. What do you think lawyers are for? If it was a CGC 9.8 I would do it. (thumbs u
  13. Alright guys. I am jumping into the forum finally. I have been a huge Dave fan for the last two to three years and I have been checking out this forum for the last year to see if I could buy CGC Stevens' Covers. Of course, most of the slabs I am looking for went before I could jump in. Also, I felt strange asking to buy something from one of you since I didn't have a friendship built. As a matter of fact this is the first time in my life I have ever posted on any forum. My love for Dave Stevens art is ready to go to the next level and join others who appreciate his fantastic work. As of right now I own about 14 of Dave's covers in CGC 9.8, 1 back cover in CGC 9.8, and am still looking for more. I had only 1 graded since 9.8's have been hard for me to find. Most of them I bought from Ebay or MyComicShop. I have about 10 raw books with only one Johnny Quest 5 that I think can get to 9.8 after a press. I have not decided if I want to get on the registry but I am feeling a slow pull in that direction after reading some of your hilarious banter. I have so enjoyed all of the rare art that everyone has posted and love Dave's art books as well. As time roles along I would love to buy and sell with you too. I will keep looking for Dave's Covers in Northern California to see if there is any for cgc. See you around and sorry I don't have any unique or original Dave art to share in photos.
