  1. I've had that problem and followed those steps. They do work when the piece locks. One thing that I would make sure to do when using the HP ScanJet is to not use it until it is warmed up and the green light is on. Good luck

  2. This might be a better question to ask in "The Signature Room" since the people in there are into sketch covers. You can also join sketch cover Facebook groups to get an idea of what others have done on those covers.

    It is tough to say what to get on those covers because you are the one that will have it in your collection (unless your thought is to flip them). Using the front and back cover could make a larger scene happen on the cover. The other idea is to have a sketch done with important milestones in Action Comics and Grayson. For example the death of Grayson or marriage of Superman and Lois Lane.

  3. Welcome to the Signature Room. Honestly your best option is to find a CGC Retailer that will also be available at the convention. Since your slabbed comics will need to be cracked open for the signatures, it is safer to trust someone who had experience cracking open slabbed comics. Also don't bet on receiving the same grade that you got on the comic.

  4. 1. He has a very active Facebook page. Reach out to him and see if he would break the case, sign it and submit it for you to CGC

    2. There is no guarantee that having it signed and re-graded will come back as a 9.9. The original people that determined the grade of that comic may not be the ones that grade it when re-submitting it. It's Russian Roulette.

    This is shocking to me. So young. I was a fan even before Big Adventure was made. A friend had a tape of the HBO special he did with all the characters that were later in Pee-Wee's Playhouse with a little more adult humor, and we watched the heck out of that tape. So sad to hear this.

    I remember the HBO special and Phil Hartman played Captain Carl. I hope now they are together coming up with skits with Pee Wee Herman and Captain Carl.

  6. With Kickstarter and Indigogo, people that are publishing their book is putting the cost in for printing and shipping the book. Also, they feel they can charge the cost because you are not just getting the book but all of these extras with the book (stickers, bookmark, fridge magnet) with the main character on all of those items.

    He’s been steadily raising his prices for years, and he’s been satisfied with the results, by whatever metrics matter to him.  And the market seems to have gone along with him.
    so it’s hard to say he’s so illogical.  Whether it’s good for collectors is another thing.  But that’s not really his problem.  At least he’s pretty straightforward about it.  

    I agree. The last that I saw was last years NYCC. He would charge different amounts depending on the book that he signed (NM90 vs. NM98). Also he would make a remark of a Deadpool head. I look at it as it is your money to spend. If you want to pay for it, then go ahead and if not then your money goes elsewhere.

    I don’t think they dumped half of their inventory but a game that simply sucked.

    At least that is what I remember.

    The problem with the game is that you couldn't tell what you had to do, unless you read the instructions which gave you the steps to complete the game. But who reads the instructions. (shrug)
