  1. This thread just got even better! I love that Ghost Rider cover!!
  2. That makes more sense. It's a wonderful work and Len Wein and Herb Trimpe will always be comic icons.
  3. I have only a few pieces of OA, but I wanted to show this Jae Lee 9 by 12 sketch that arrived today. Earlier this month, Sketch Prices - Comic Book Sketches, Commissions & Autograph Prices (FB) reached 10,000 members and in celebration had a drawing for sketches following donations to the Hero Initiative. It is a very worthy cause and this is one of those prizes.

  5. Lost Years #4 is one of my favorite Ty Templeton covers.
  6. These books were kind of fun to collect and add to my Batman Adventures registry. Since it is not a series that was kept (or likely wanted) by many, three of the 5 copies are the only ones ever graded by CGC. In addition, the #1 has only one other 9.8 and the #5 is the only 9.8 . Thank you to the amazing Mollie for helping to add these editions to the CGC Registry.
  7. Quite the nice comments from CGC. https://www.facebook.com/CGCcomics/?hc_ref=ARSIOYwuc0d7R6oSW0LdnndItwl5YHCYF04oqFqgINifxgarU-AOpi029GMaK63QLmQ&fref=nf
  8. Johnny D does some really nice covers. Congrats!
  9. I would put higher value books in a 2nd floor corner over a SDB. Your bank next door neighbor is most likely a mid 20th century land deed. Your OW-W copy will now be Cr-OW.
  10. I would not put any of those books in a safety deposit box. You are placing something that you want to stay away from acidic contacts next to someone else's old, musty documents. Sorry, but your little box is not airtight.
  11. Grade definitely has an impact. There are a few really nice 9.4 and 9.6 covers that I am considering having additional sketches on the back to bump the grade. I am not a "9.8 or nothing" type of person, but.... the 9.8 is nice... and makes a difference for a good number of collectors.
  12. A good number of sketch covers are done on nice, white blanks so color breaking creases are less of an issue. Obvious spine bends and corner crunches do decrease the grade, but the most likely downgrade is due to stray marks on the back cover.
  13. You are welcome. I believe Kirk Dilbeck is his representative/contact person.

  15. Hi Mollie. My Batman Adventures 2003 issues have made it to the census, but still are not available for the registry (1247992). Thanks!
  16. I'm sure she was signing a book every few seconds. No way she was changing the color of her Sharpie just for me. At least it does not detract from the original cover.
  17. Sorry, just saw this. The CGC Value FT shipped 10/19 The 4 Modern FT (pressed) shipped on 10/26
  18. The 25 Modern Pre-screen shipped on 1/12/18 The 25 Modern ST shipped on 1/9/18
