    I'm certainly not trying to derail your thread.....and if I'm wrong, I apologize in advance; but isn't the first appearance of Kid Kaiju in Totally Awesome Hulk #3, not this book.....???

    Not a problem. You are correct  TAH 3 is the first apperance of kid kaiju, Sorry if the way i worded it was confusing. It is the first in comic apperance of kid kaiju's monsters SLIZZIK, SCRAAG, MEKRA, AEGIS, HI-VO, FIRECLAW, and Smasher(who all appear in the ongoing series monsters unleashed). Hope that clears it up.

    I know you have you wait until it hits shipped before seeing the grades online.  Could you call CGC when it hits graded to get the grades?  (I am sure they prefer everyone didn't do this otherwise they would be flooded with calls).

    You have to wait until its about to be shipped. I tried after hitting graded status but couldn't get grades over the phone until it hit QC

    Interesting that they went with Voldy on the ultimate because the numbering from 1-250 will be on the slab. Not the book.

    Did they release info on the slab somewhere? So if the numbering is on the slab then if you crack and resub at cgc i wonder if you can submit your label to keep your # status.

    There ultimate is a virgin edition, it won't have the trade dressing. The trade dressing was posted from another iron fist cover Frankie's showed on their website. It's a fake fan job.

    I was asking where did they post the new version i am aware of the sketch virgin ultimate.

    Interesting ...... I had no idea this was just a mock up.   The ads are a bit misleading (shrug)

    To be clear The blue cover is the actual regular cover. The other is just a referance of the ultimate, i dont believe they advertised it on any site as far as i know. Just ebay sellers.

    How many teams are they going to have Kamala join?  hm

    She's an Inhuman, former (?) Avenger, Champion, now the Protectors?

    And despite the speculation on the 1:25 Variant, anyone else think the normal cover looks better? (shrug)

    There seems to be no limit on the amount of teams kamala will join. She is on the new secret warriors team coming soon also. And i agree the regular cover is superior to the the 1:25 which is a tad bit goofy for my personal taste.

  9. To be fair, while I don't agree with everything on the CBSI site, I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy many of their articles. It seems to me an argument can and has been made for 4 different books being made as first appearances of the trio as a team. At least 3 of them have some validity imo. The outsider to me is HQ #3 and it happens to be the only copy that I own. It doesn't matter, its still a first of a sort and has it's own reason for being potentially valuable.

     

    A first does not always equal most important and there is little consistency in which appearance becomes most valuable. See the first Wolverine vs the first Darkseid.

     

    I've caught myself worrying over why something is popular or not and does it deserve to b. Who decides ? Can a CBSI article sway the perceived value of a book ? Yes, it can but so do opinions on here, on comicbookjunkie.com, on bleedingcool.com, on ebay.com, on comicsheatingup.net, comicbookresources.com, and...you get the idea. An article on a film site can change the perceived value of a book too.

     

    Having said all of that, it is impossible to know for certain if people intend to manipulate the value of a book or are just diehard comics fans wanting to set the record straight. I speculate ( get it ? ) that sometimes a person or 2 may have a vested interest in the success of a book and put out words trying to tip the scales. Then I wonder, who doesn't do this ? If you like a book, you talk about it right ? If you're like me and buying multiples of certain books, you probably intend to sell some of them at some point...or need to see a doctor lol

     

    To give you an idea of what I'm speaking of specifically. I read and collect or have collected East of West, The Walking Dead, Southern Bastards, Saga, etc. I've hyped all of the above. I've sold all of the above. I continue to buy ALL OF THE ABOVE when I can buy them for less than I can sell them ( dependent on the margins ) and will continue to do so. So if I say "hey, you should be reading TWD " and turn around and sell some later, is this manipulative ? I don't believe it is but that is up to you.

     

    By the same token, it seems weird to get upset that someone points out that " hey, you guys might have missed something, the actual book you're looking for is this one..". We learn from our mistakes. With over 800 different issues a month hitting the shelves, there is a strong likelihood that someone has read something that someone else may have missed. This could potentially lead to a new discovery. It seems to me that we should be open minded to a potential change...even when they are hard to swallow.

     

    Keep in mind that while a person may be correcting the record, they might or might not have an interest in the book being more or less expensive. Who cares ? lol

     

    For the record, I'm not a member of CBSI but thats simply because I enjoy exchanging with the people here. I don't view it as an us vs them. I do visit their site. I'm betting many of the people who write there visit here. I know its a long rant but this place is much more fun when the disagreements keep the personal out of them.

     

    Sanity has returned. And east of west is amazing idc if my copies are never worth more then $10 that book is great.

  10. From what i seen he hypes things in the works for his fans. Nothing wrong with that as long as they are actual things in the works, its a great thing for everyone. Companies or people who hype things that have no chance of ever happening are the ones i cant stand. Tims word for the most part has lead right into what he hinted at.
