So barely detectable or undetectable resto = no resto. Got it. Considered restoration by whom? I don't think a third party would be able to tell, but who knows.

the funny thing about MD - there is no talk of a tv show - but it continues to garner interest. All the previous "hot books" had all sorts of media chatter swirling around them. Sometimes a good comic book is just a good comic book. SAGA didn't either, which is that last book that really took off. Maybe there is still hope for comics!

From what you to are talking I think it's a somewhat valid comparison in the sense that there is no way of knowing how many 238's still have the original Tattooz in them, attached.

Interesting, looks like 252 http://www.midtowncomics.com/store/dp.asp?PRID=Fantastic+Four+%23252+With+_221424

The problem is that people don't read comics anymore, and they just look at what's on the CGC label. And on that note, what is on the CGC label? The major point I would concentrate on is the first cover appearance, combined with the first full appearance in 362. People like covers, as they look kewl in their plastic tombs. As far as the plastic tomb company goes, 359 does not list Crossbones at all, 360 says 1st.

Crazy ! Someone should study up a little. Buyer: 0 rep

The Potts or Mignola cover?

+1 I like the dialogue they came up with for the censoring. I mean, you know what it says under it. Use your imagination!

That's typical for an auction house. Someone brings them their stuff to sell and the auction house gets a percentage of the sales. They buyer also pays a fee (usually 3-4%). The local auction house by me charges 4% with a 4% discount for cash, so no fee for cash sales.

$10=40 close to 100,000 x I like that math i figured with that many zeros, it'd be obvious i was exaggerating. has anyone here ever bought one of MCS's consignment items? i assume they sell some, but i can't understand how. Doesnt the owner set the price they want to sell at, not MCS, when consigning? . I believe so. You ship the book to them also.

korath-thak? Eh, no thanks

Or does he...

Looks like it's similar to a RRP: "This variant edition was only given to major comic retailers as a preview to the first series."

Anyone out there know where to find list of these book market variants? Was thinking that myself. Kind of like the DC Universe editions. Quick search turned up some: Ultimates 3 #1 X-Men Forever Alpha #1 Models Inc. #1 Marvel Illustrated: The Illiad #1 Marvel Illustrated: The Odyssey #1 Dark Tower Born Gunslinger #1 Wonderful World of Oz #1 Amazing Spider-Girl #1 ('06) Amazing Spider-Man #546 Anita Blake: The Laughing Corpse #1 Marvel Super-Hero Squad Ultimatium #1

Wolverine was around before Hulk? (no Foom references please)

Guess were back to the old Image calendar system.

Same here. Too "campy" for my taste. Almost all the non-comicbook collectors that I know don't even know who or what a Guardians of the Galaxy is. They don't even know that it's from Marvel Comics! I'm surprised non-comic books collectors even know what Marvel Comics is.

JCS really gets the shaft on these boards, except by those selling. J. Campbell Scott? yup...him and Frank Cavilla

Marc Millar has had a lot of options as well. So far I'm not seeing any pan out.

I would hold at least till a TV show hits air. Considering how many comics have been optioned for TV and movies, I wouldn't be surprised if 80% of them never make it. Sometimes it's good to sell during the initial rush, since a lot of these books won't make it to TV. Then you're stuck with it. Very true, Iwould then ask what your ROI at this point would be compared wwith it not ever getting made. Did you invest $40 in a slab? You could break even if it doesn't make it.
