I wouldn't have bought the books without the signatures. At the time that is what made them collectable. You couldn't get that unless you attended a show. The LCS would trade for them so they could resell them.

30 some odd years ago, I stood in line at WonderCon and purchased an ashcan from Rob's studio. I moved forward in the line and Rob signed the ashcan. The same things happened at other booths. Like at Chaos Comics I stood in line and purchased books and then the entire team that did Lady Death signed the books. I was given a certificate stating that all the signatures were real. Did I pay for the books, the signatures, or a combination of both? I think it was a combination of both and that was WAY before CGC jumped into the game.

I don't think so. His belief is based upon him going to conventions for 30+ years and having fanboys hand over their money to him when he charges a certain amount for something.

I don't think that Liefeld looks at it as you guys stated. He's just trying to generate income. He keeps increasing the cost that his signature to x amount. Fanboys line up to pay that amount. The fanboy's action reinforces his belief. Thus, he keeps charging that amount or keeps increasing it. Once they stop lining up he will lower his price to capture whatever his income goal for the weekend happens to be.

That's a harsh cover.

That's a wonderfully drawn cover.

Yes, I'm with that.

Thinking a 7.0 with a press. Good luck!

Thanks for sharing that. Very NICE!

Sure, and I'll take that too. Without it we wouldn't have Deadpool.

+1, unless the market explodes and prices come back down to a level that mortal men can afford.

I guess you are referencing the landscape panels turned in by Liefeld that Kessel xeroxed, cut out, glued up as standard, light boxed them and then inked. I have one of his try-out pages for Hawk and Dove. His background work on it is pretty good and guess what, two of the panels even have feet drawn on them. I like his work. Yes, he has some clunker pages. OK. I'll take the good with the bad. He and 6 other guys changed comics and I tip my hat to them all for doing that.

That's a funny cover. Looks like they are in the naughty chair.

I like that cover!

I like your local comic books stores price on that GL!

His work on the Hawk and Dove mini-series is pretty good.

Maybe they don't want to alienate a customer by sharing their opinions.

Oh, man. Please, please, no.

4.0. You should be able to use it for trade or sell it with little problems

3.5, nice find.

Big time.

That was very funny!

Looked like a jacked up version of the Ultimate Warrior.

The shows are smaller because they showcase what the show is about , i.e., Collecting coins. They don't have cosplay, pop culture, film, whatever list movie stars signing autographs in them..etc. The aren't the zoos that modern comic book conventions have become.

Love reading your updates. I hope the holiday season is good for you and the store!
