I guess I haven't posted here in a while.  Here are some recent reviews...

By the way, if you want to avoid the waiting room hassle tomorrow to reserve your hotel, the early bird hotels are available now.  The early bird hotels tend be 5 or more miles away from the event, and the reservation is nonrefundable, but it sure is nice to avoid the hassle and then have to wait and see if you got your preferred hotel or not.  The early bird option will probably end late tonight or sometime tomorrow morning, before the regular reservation system begins.

Has there already been an SDCC attendee ticket sale? I never saw any emails about it...

The website says it's sold out.  I think a lot of people who had purchased badges for the cancelled 2020 show were able to transfer it to 2022.

Is it possible that this is the first SDCC 2022 thread?  I couldn't find one.

Hotel reservations begin tomorrow, April 28 at 8am Pacific Time.  

Thanks, guys, that's very helpful.  I just picked up an awesome Spock statue, and thought it would be fun to display it with a Nimoy sig series.  

I don't even really care what book it is.  What premium does his sig bring?

I'm just as dubious about a private sale as I am some of the public auction sales.  About the only thing I would believe is a canceled cashiers check for the full amount. And if other parties are involved, brokers or auction houses, I want to see what the consignor actually received $$$$ in their hands, not just what the buyer "paid". If this involved a known comic art dealer, just as it's happened with comic art dealers bidding on HA- it's all funny money. They use fronted credits from the auction house or proceeds from previous auctions to bid on other items in future auctions. No actual money changes hands, they don't pay sales tax, they get a % of the BP or don't pay sellers commission.  The IRS would have a field day if they ever scrutinized the Dealer/HA circle jerk. Meanwhile the market has been further manipulated as to what the FMV of anything actually is.  Doesn't matter how many zeros we are talking about.  It's more perception that reality, but everyone is cool with it, because most everyone "needs" it to be real when they sell or trade. If this wasn't 100% a cash deal, (well there was X % in trade, bah, whatever) I don't think this means much other than a well timed attention grab. 

Why wouldn’t proceeds from past auctions be a legitimate funding source?  What does the fact that they don’t pay sales tax have to do with anything?  Anyone with a business license stating they’re in the business of buying and selling collectibles doesn’t pay sales tax at Heritage.

Why would you say this now results in greater transparency since you have now lost the grading history (i.e. prior grade and prior date graded) for the book as the only information that now shows up for the book would be the current grade and date?  

I agree.  I don't like that we've lost the prior grading history for the book.

When you run the Church 8.0 cert number (1072525001) the book pops as an 8.5 graded January 10, 2022. Same cert number. Apparently, the original cert number was used for the upgrade. First time I've seen that. In the past when a book is resubed, the old number is zeroed-out and a new number issued with new grade/label. Interesting aside, the color touch is identified as "Restoration" in the grader notes.

 

That's odd.  I wonder why?

$775 shipped...

I wasn't planning on selling this, but I see a copy sold last month for $775, so what the heck.

Shipping is on me.  No returns on certified books.  No one on the naughty list, please.

Paypal accepted.  Personal checks preferred.
