The reason I was looking up sales results of Faith is because Key Collector listed it as a trending book, so the topic was on track. Don't like it? Then contribute something worthwhile.

I guess it depends on whether you consider withholding information misleading. This is a CGC Replica variant. Nowhere does it state that it's a Replica. Could it have been an honest omission? Perhaps.

Yeah, this is a graded copy. Technically the seller didn't misrepresent it, but you gotta specify what the item is if you want to avoid pissed off customers. On action figure variants I always specify that the lot isn't for an actual action figure.

Does that include Milestone? I'd love to see a Milestone custom label.

I suspect the buyer of this is not going to be happy when they get the item: https://www.ebay.com/itm/304801517442?hash=item46f7960f82:g:cpYAAOSwNmtj57Zj&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAoFpHhFe3PJiCo6whp8mNpw4L%2BqkQIULKWyOdkgtMVKszHWCzq3M6QDukamhnWb%2FnwuxBzZ4Vjgj3migx98e795iNxqefPC4I6z3GZhc3ys3YuzBiW%2FMXYvXoveevzdHvR%2BMeapnhImKcKN7gDo2gNSnhNbkXISDWSMdMtg8t2k%2FPjTwne%2B3Pl0Gn8%2Bogj90HPsgqAqknc1qljH1BW0gWvho%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR4yRoOLMYQ

The first comic series for me that was top of the pile on new comic day was the Outsiders. I had picked up a set of the first 7 or eight issues at the comic shop where I bought all of my Doctor Who stuff back in the '80s. I loved Jim Aparo's art, so much so that it felt off when Alan Davis replaced him on Batman & the Outsiders. So you can imagine the shock when Erik Larsen filled in for the last two issues of the Outsiders.

Ah, I didn't realize the X-Men one was a giveaway. The others I hadn't heard of.

Other than the Black Panther partial sketch cover, I'm trying to think of another convention giveaway that's gotten as pricey as this Moon Girl comic. (I'm sure there are some, but I just don't know what they are.) https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1313&_nkw=Moon+Girl+and+Devil+Dinosaur+1+-cgc+-cbcs&_sacat=1&LH_TitleDesc=0&_odkw=Moon+Girl+and+Devil+Dinosaur+1+-cgc&_osacat=1&_sop=16&LH_Complete=1&LH_Sold=1

Does anyone know for sure what the release date is for the 30th Anniversary Special? I've seen next week, and also 3/7 and 3/21 in different places.

This is pretty much my view. Barring someone who was on the inside actually sharing the facts, the best indicator is going to be gotten by examining the market and seeing what's available. Because regardless of the print numbers, unsold newsstand copies were sent back and destroyed. And examining the market is going to be a better way to establish a value than the print numbers anyway. If a million copies were printed but none are on the market, if one goes on the market, there are going to be more buyers interested than a book with a small percentage of newsstands printed, but is readily available on the open market.

Let me know how it looks when you get it. I asked the seller, but he seemed to think that I was referring to the strip of front cover color that bleeds over to the back cover (because the yellowish color can be seen along the spine as well). But it was a moot issue when I got his answer because it had sold at that point.

I believe so.

It probably depends on who is stating what the print run is.

New Mutants 86 isn't quite like the others. The "teaser" is more of an ad, as it's not in-story, just an image of Cable at the bottom of the final page, after the story content.

This was on eBay, right? 775? I was watching that myself. Wasn't sure whether that yellowing along the bottom was just the pic or the paper. Was considering the purchase since I have a 9.6

The catch with submitting this now is that you might have to pay the higher fee for a high-value book, if it's a 9.8. But the additional 9.8 lowers the value.

I recently picked up a handful of those from Midtown Comics; looks like they're sold out now.

I'm pretty sure there is also a poster that Sienkiewicz did the art for; fully painted

Nice pickups. What is the Milestone content in the Superman/Batman mag? Trying to figure if I need to have that for my collection.

Yes, but the cape and hair would be as well.

But why is her cape and hair flying away? If not in space, at best she's just starting to hit the atmosphere where the amount of air would have an insignificant effect on it.

Fair enough. Store backstock I can definitely understand because customers aren't so keen to ensure maintaining the condition of the books that they're not interested in buying, and books in box that are part empty tend to get bent if they're leaning over. But certainly far more attention was paid to the condition than people did 20-40 years prior.

The big difference, of course, is that the Golden Age books were largely tossed away as disposable entertainment (or recycled to be used for the war effort in some way), and by the time the Copper Age rolled around, collecting them as a hobby was in full swing and many people preserved them in top condition.

Let it burn

This looks like someone ripped off a Ploog cover. I don't have a specific cover in mind; just has that feel.
