  1. That will likely wait until they change the cases
  2. I think that the signature was also on the inside cover with the sketch wasn’t it?
  3. I think I have all of these as well… I’ve never been sent them though! I just love to see them especially at this time of year
  4. Haha… I’m looking for those 2! Very, very nice!
  5. Ok that makes sense - I knew something along that line had to have happened with it - how’d you hear about it? It doesn’t seem like something that would happen with shipping but maybe the encapsulation process itself? I saw offers on heritage for that copy up to 45k and actually thought it sold. Man… what a thing to happen! CBCS says they can grade it, honestly I prefer CGC but I am not sure if I would risk it… maybe the bagged raw grade option they have would be a better option.
  6. I went back to revisit the conversation I had with one of the people and he said basically that as far as condition some of the people don’t know how to grade and they could be 8.0 or nm… the other person said they were from an unopened box so they should be nm…. I’m sure for the price they should be nm. Years ago I sold a pristine copy, with a period sketch inside autographed to someone else, due to an illness in the family and I always tried to replace it afterwards so I bought every nice copy I ran across trying to replace it… mine all have sketches so when I saw the Kickstarter I jumped at the chance to get a virgin copy so that one day I can get it sketched to me. I am excited to get another!
  7. 32x40 Poster board I got off of eBay back in the day…
  8. I made the mistake of sending a Thorn book out to CGC for grading - just after I sent it I was horrified to learn that a hurricane was bearing down on Florida… it came back safe and sound but ungraded to my dismay… not a cheap undertaking with insurance etc from Canada! As I told them it should probably come up as not a candidate for grading when you enter it in their database for submitting! I did notice awhile ago that the sole graded 9.8 does not show on the census - I wonder if it was damaged while grading hence they no longer grade the book? My book was returned with an explanation that they no longer grade the book as it can damage the book
  9. Kickstarter pledges have been collected!…. I will have to update my bragging photo soon! Nice to see that interview with Jeff Aaroncash! I have never met the man but that news scared me! I am excited yet apprehensive to see Bone make the big screen one day! Oh would think it would be a no brainer for the studios…
  10. In regards to condition of the Thorn books, I have talked to a couple of people - not sure of their connections but one said 8.0 and up, but the other said they’re from an unopened box so hopefully nm(which seems to be what the Bone #1s from a previous Kickstarter were).
  11. I actually fell asleep during the Heritage auction and meant to be a bidder on that copy of Thorn Tales from the Lantern… seemed like a very good deal. Maybe some of the potential bidders had already backed the Kickstarter weakening the bidder pool?
