To get  you in the Halloween mood. Do cancellations count?

I liked this cover over the "Hughes variant for Harley & Ivy/Betty & Veronica" and the Thor 1:100.

It's generally considered poor form to comment on someone else's thread about their prices, pricing and/or grading.  

There are times and places for such discussions....but unless these types of comments are clearly solicited, more restaint is better than less.  

I totally agree but from one of the sellers post he was wondering if his price was high, one I quoted below..

This and only this was the reason for my post and suggestions.. I was totally not trying to poop on his sales thread.

Very funny.  This copy is so hot. No offer here so far. I thought the price is little high but I can take the offers. Just wondered if they prefer 9.8 over this copy (actually it is so expensive - I bought it five years ago and can't afford the second one today).

Got my books in today..

Thank you bcphillips119

Geez, an original sketch?  Those aren't cheap.  How much did you get it for (if you don't mind my asking)?

If you check past e-bay sales you will find it  (5 bills).. 

This piece can be found in her gallery and it pre-dates this original sketch op.

Nice piece and I am jelly.

GO JOE!! Nice copies  

Thank you..

Oddly these three copies make up half of the Blues on the census..

No way am I preordering that for $300 unless it's already going to be slabbed at 9.8. It should be no more than $100 preorder for a 1:100. That's just pure insanity charging $300 for a raw book with no image 

I agree..

What book, for which signing?

You need a dry press. Check out some SEAL commercial dry presses but any decent one will work. One that has a temp readout is preferable otherwise use the lowest setting.  Also, check out bp21-15.pdf.  Just google it and it will be at the top probably or search for practical considerations for humidifying paper.  There are a couple youtube videos to get you started.  Beyond that it is practice practice practice.  You won't get any help from folks who make money off of it.

I do pretty well but on high value books I send out to http://www.cfpcomics.com, Joe is on these boards and does a great job.  I personally do not like CSS.

This..

I wouldn't mind sending them out to a service, my problem is the time it takes.  These services are inundated with work so talking about it, I would not think, hurts there bottom line.

There was a blog post with reader comments on the web that had some great information as a starting point.  Having a 30 mins conversation with someone that does it is great as well.  I was fortunate enough where someone was willing to share. 

Talk or technique is frowned upon in open forum for various reasons.  The main  reason is "They don't want  anyone to give tutorials on pressing for liability reasons. They say they see a lot of damaged books due to amateur pressers."

Just do the research take the time and trial and error..

$25 and they were going quick, should be gone today, if not already. Picked up number 1 for myself, going to frame that.

Was this at SDCC?

Wow. I love the display.

Man oh man, I see that and I want to do something similar. Is there any risk of damage from light on those covers?

The books are in Mylites2 Sleeves which says "Get Protection from a Variety of Hazards", one being Ultra-Violet Fading.  Not sure how much protection but they don't get any direct sunlight, and the bulbs, I believe, are LEDs.  I read the Fluorescent bulbs are very hazardous, so if you have those don't even try it.  Pulse the light in this run are hardly on as it is the room in the house I use as an office, so I get enough light from the computer.

Also at times I rotate the books out unless I get more shelves.

Awesome book @SamPool!

Thank you sir..

Came in today.

Thanks for Rich_Henn.

Great pieces, you might want to check your shipping says $4.00

You have to ask yourself how much in value would this be in a 9.0 as apposed to 8.5?

How much would it cost to have it pressed/cleaned to possibly get a bump?

If you think it is worth it, then go for it..

If you have the skills to do the pressing and cleaning yourself, then go for it.

What you couldn't find any of this..

I thought that too, but there's no label around the actual neck. We are definitely over analyzing this 

Figured it had to be some IPA from his home state..
