  1. So what you are saying is when other people had issues you explained them away, but when it happened to you..............................
  2. I was really expecting some movement this week based on some other's time frame.
  3. Great information on the extra pages. Thanks. I ordered the deluxe version.
  4. Open for pre order. http://www.vanguardpublishing.com/page-2/index.html
  5. This is one of my favorites. I actually snagged this in one of their flat file sales a few years back .
  6. I probably have a 100 or so Frazetta cover books. This will be a great checklist. I think there might be a few missing from the definitive reference and the pictures will help for those that have multiple versions with Frazetta and non Frazetta covers.
  7. Hopefully you paid in some way that offers buyer protection.
  8. Vanguard follows last year's hit Fantastic Paintings of Frazetta book by J. David Spurlock with definitive reference on Frazetta Book Cover Art. Frazetta is the revolutionary fantasy artist of #Conan, King Kong, #DeathDealer, Edgar Rice Burroughs, #LordofTheRings and more, whose original art sells for millions. This new 2022 #Frazetta book follows last year's hit, Fantastic Paintings of Frazetta and is similar to Vanguard's earlier Frazetta Definitive Reference book. But, it is superior in at least one regard. Instead of cataloging Frazetta items with mostly smaller illustrations, this new book is devoted solely to the artist's single, most beloved venue, Book Cover Art. By focusing on this specific area, the book boasts room enough to feature every single one of Frazetta's famous and highly collectable illustrated book covers, beautifully and authentically reproduced at a larger size on a page to itself. All are presented in chronological order which, gives readers a unique ability to follow Frazetta's evolution as an artist. Accompanying text includes commentary, original publication titles, publishers, dates, and rare quotes from the artist himself. For this Definitive Reference to feature the Complete Collection of Frazetta's decades of book cover illustrations, in a single beautifully produced volume, is a dream come true for Frazetta fans, art and book collectors and historians alike.

  9. Imagine having books at CGC for 9 months and these cut the line in front of you.
  10. For everyone saying they will liquidate their collection so it isn't a burden for anyone, that is great until you get hit by a bus tomorrow. You should definitely have a plan B so people know what to do if they have to do it themselves.
  11. I wonder how many people die waiting for their books to come back? Sorry, I have no idea why that popped into my head.
  12. If? Do you know something the rest of us don't?
  13. I have provided my wife with the names of people to help her sell if needed. I should probably tell those people they are on the list.
  14. they wouldn't tell you 9 was the new time. you would just have to sit there with no updates. and then it would be 9 next week. i hate this restaurant.
  15. My LCS gave me a free Marvel calendar this past weekend. Nothing spectacular, but nice enough. I wonder if all stores get them for free?
  16. I won't complain. Then goes on to complain. Excellent work.
  17. The big problem I see is if you are trying to split things equally overall money wise between multiple people is valuing a large collection. Also the costs associated with liquidating a large collection. As opposed to cash/stocks/real estate.
  18. Of course there is going to be a massive wave of submissions to get in before the price increase. Never fear though. CGC has tackled the critical step of figuring out how to open up mail in less than 2 months.
