TheRealVenom

CGC Just added this show. They will be there taking books and witnessing signatures! WooHoo!

Big thanks to Torrey aka Kevlar at Twin Cities Comics for the awesome Gal Gadot book! Absolutely love this one!

Your local comic shop. They are january's pre orders.

Anyone see the new previews? Marvel is doing some Venom variants again and the X-23(All new wolverine) version is pretty stellar. might blow up. Get your pre orders in!!

Here's a wild thought... could they have been buying books they wanted for their collection, instead of just buying stuff to flip? I believe that - I'm often reminded how lucky we are on these boards in terms of knowledge and understanding of the market compared to the vast majority of collectors. To most, story and emotional connection are still a priority when selecting books. You can be buying for your collection and looking to buy the most valuable books for as little as possible. Are there really any collectors who willfully pass up a $15-20 book when it is priced at 50 cents? Recognizing 1st app of Doomsday does not require any super specialized board knowledge. If you collect comics from the last 40 years it is probably something you know. The other stuff not so much, the mignola detective that is now worth a few bucks is a book that i used to get out of the dollar box, ditto with most of the other stuff in there, I have no interest in becoming that tied up in ebay auctions that I'm flipping 50 cent books for 15 bucks. I guess I'm odd. :shrug: Doing that is $175 an hour, so I suppose you are. I will happily do that all day long. Respectfully, that's your job. For those of us who aren't as practiced in turning over books, we're going to take lot longer to do it. As I've said, flipping is best left to the experts, not the weekend guys looking to scratch up a few extra dollars. It doesn't take an expert to sell a comic for $15. As a matter of fact, it takes about as much savvy as you typing on this message board. If you don't care about making fun money from something you like anyway, that's cool...more for me and us "weekend guys" selling to support our personal collections. You have a weird history with people profiting off comics and I'm curious where it started.

Mark Hamill Morena Baccarin Charlie Cox Dawn McTeigue Conner/Palmiotti (Only 10 SS Foils made 9.8 according to census!)

From what I can gather from all this info is find a raw book thats NM+ and pray to the cgc gods for a 9.8 I currently have 2 books submitted (without asking) to ccs thru a facilitator here and over 800$ tied up now since SDCC and I probably wont see them until febuary or march. You can bet your butt I wont use ccs ever again, even tho I didnt ask for it.

Who is organizing these sketch ops? I'd like in if there's a next one.

I would use a facilitator all the way. Im sure Doug or Torrey will be there. I am pretty sure tho that you will still have to pay a fee to anastasias just because they have the stan lee exclusive cgc rights. also always sub under your account. makes things easier for everyone.

Just a quick add on to this, you do NOT have to use anastasias to get your stan lee book cgcd. At fan expo Gotham Central was there taking subs for cgc. Even if you wanted to meet stan, you could have just called those guys over to come witness for you. Ofcourse you'd have to pay anastasias a small fee but you could have used someone a lot more reliable. Look around and heck if youre a boardie you should know which facilitators are there and you can use them.

there were plenty of other people taking subs at fan expo. Doug from comic sketch art was there and gotham central also had a private signing with stan. The competition was also there and you could have used them as well. I talked to the anastasias guys and their prices were insane. I wouldnt deal with them. If you are personally lining up to see him I didn't think that was the case. If you want to leave your book with whoever to meet up with him later you would have been fine. Honestly, had I known I would have skipped the line-up. He wasn't talking to anyone. He never does. I feel bad for stan. his handlers just want as many sigs as possible which leads to sloppy rushed sigs and poor placement. He had 2 free pannels if you wanted to hear his stories or ask him a question haha Gotham Central could have provided you a witness though if you wanted to meet him in person. A VIP pass is also a huge help.

Sketch by Ebas and Splatter by Dawn McTeigue done at SDCC and live streamed on facebook

My little contribution to this thread I have a bunch of x-23 commissions but promised the artist I wouldnt post her work online. Wish I could show them off!

Got a great book at a great price! fast safe shipping, cant ask for better!

This wasn't even an option at the cons I've been to. You get a sig and that's it. Wasn't an option at fan expo a couple years back either. Heck I was rushed along so fast He didn't even have time to raise his head or say hello back to me. It's kinda sad.

Nothing crazy but iv'e wanted this for a long time. Such a huge Krysten Ritter fan ever since breaking bad haha

Fast payment and great communication, Couldnt ask for more in a buyer! Enjoy your books!

Rick was an awesome buyer! Great communication and super fast payment. Pleasure to deal with and hope to do so again!
