    As if the seller could not be bothered and was too LAZY to do any better. Based on the lack of care (and middling feedback score) put into the auction listing I'd expect the rest of the transaction to go similar for whomever purchases it - if anyone does.

    "Packing the package was disgraceful. Top of box cover destroyed."

    "Item never shipped. Seller lists items not in their possession"

    "seller took forever to ship item and then completely ignored me when I informed him that the CGC slab was cracked"

    IMHO: DANGER! AVOID! DANGER!

     

    P.S. In at least one of their other auction titles the seller uses the word "Minty". While I'm sure there are exceptions, I never personally met anyone who uses that word who was not a total tool :) 

    "Minty" 🤣🤣🤣, that's brilliant! Tbf, I didn't check any of the sellers previous sales. Just posted on here as I know there's always someone looking for the book.

    Sandman 8b - Has a "Karen Berger Editorial" opening on the inside cover. (Rumoured that roughly < 1k copies ever printed)

    Sandman 8 Editorial - Inside cover for those wondering

    RISE!!!

    With the news of the prestige  Sandman show hitting Netflix, it is high time to bring this thread back.

    And wow, prices of these books have certainly immediately skyrocketed since the news dropped.  :whatthe:

    'Bout damn time prices of this book better reflected its top of the line quality.  :sumo:

    Everybody still have their copies, right ? :shy:

    -J.

    Yes I do!

    I also managed to pick up another couple of non graded copies as well ^^ one 9.0 and one at least a 9.6

  4. I believe it is, I hounded the original owner for over a year as I'd bought a lower grade from him originally.

     

    Luckily for me, he required some cash and I was fortunate enough to still be pestering him at the time.

     

    Stoked to own this, I believe you have an excellent collection of Sandman stuff mschmidt and by no means will I ever get close (not if the wife has anything to say about it anyhow...)

  5. It would be interesting to see if the 9.8 came up, I'm certain a few boardies will have a punt at it. (I know I would!)

     

    May be off topic (and a little random interlude to the awesome posts of collections) so apologies!

     

    If you had to put a backing song to one of the endless (ie, if they did in the movie) who would be the artist and what would the song be...

     

    Note: I'm not sure if Tori Amos is allowed ;-)

     

    I'm thinking something like

    Delirium = They Might Be Giants - Birdhouse in your soul

    Death = Blue Oyster Cult - Don't Fear the reaper

    Dream = The Cranberries - Dreams

     

    Maybe A song for Death and Dream = Weezer - Only in Dreams

     

    But maybe it should be kept to just Dream and Death?

     

    Thoughts?!

     

     

    Dream has to be "In Dreams" by Roy Orbison. It's a beautiful, haunting song and the creepy factor is amped up because of the Blue Velvet tie-in.

     

    I have some songs for ya'll, although not too eerie: (thumbs u

     

    'Dream Lover' - Bobby Darin

    'Mr. Sandman' - Chordettes

    'Don't Wake Me, I'm Dreamin' - Christopher Williams

    'All I Have to do Is Dream' - Everly Brothers

    'Sweet Dreams' (Are Made of This) - Eurythmics

    'Dreamin' - Vanessa Williams

    'Enter Sandman' - Metallica

     

    What about "Dreaming of You" by Selena? And "Dream a Little Dream of Me" by Cass Elliot?

    -J.

     

    lol I was gonna add the Selena song, but wanted others to chime in. (thumbs u The ones I put were off the top of my head. :acclaim:

     

    I luvs my music bro! :headbang:

     

    The songs don't just have to contain references to 'Dreams' ;-)

  7. Heres some quick links I've found for 'documentation'

     

     

    This was J's I believe

     

    http://comics.ha.com/itm/modern-age-1980-present-/horror/sandman-8-editorial-variant-dc-1989-cgc-nm-96-white-pages-this-is-the-rare-variant-featuring-the-karen-berger-editori-1-/a/15103-16276.s

     

     

    Here's one,

     

    http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=111561093764&alt=web

     

    And another (this was the low grade J mentioned)

     

    http://cr.azdevserver.com/product/product?source_id=181569873824&source=1

     

    Some evidence is still out there, you just need to be searching as long (or longer) than I have!

     

    I personally should have contacted mschmidt to see if he (or she) would part with one of their 6 raws

     

    Luckily for me I found a guy in the UK who had the one I bought spare as he'd 'upgraded'

     

    The first one is a sale from 2005. I can't speak for Jay, but that *might* be out of the running for "recent."

     

    The other two reference the sales already mentioned.

     

    I dunno....four sales in five months...plus only 2 slabs in over a year...

     

    hm

     

    Doesn't *seem* like a obvious uptick in heat and price to me....

     

    PS. I've been looking for this book since 1991. You too?

     

    :D

     

    91?! Holy , only sine 2012 (when I finally started making the right amount of money!) I'll go get back in the box then....

     

    I would say you could have mine just for your wait, but I've only just got it and it sooo pretty!
