I just hand them my State tax ID reseller certificate and pay no tax with a card

The technology on pen to screen is just as good as pen to paper, except faster, click of a button and all that is supposed to be black is now filled in instantly and there are no more sketching with a blue pencil or erasing, Brian Bolland does the same thing, pen to screen and his stuff is still amazing. Any artist has about 5-10 mins to make a sketch at a con, compared to published work that takes 12 hours+ to complete.

Todd draws on a digital tablet now, it's pen to screen, instead of pen to paper. His style hasn't changed all that much, Same can be said for Neal Adams, when he was doing commissions he wasn't as good as he was in the 70's but art styles evolve over time, for better or worse. Todd's prime years are 89-93, Todd recently did do an Overstreet price guide cover of spawn/spider-man that I thought looked amazing. Jim Lee still looks great cause he never stopped drawing, he still has the same early 90's quality when of course scott williams is inking him. Jim Lee inks...not so much

His spidey is the best, no one will ever top it.

He doesn't need to do CGC signings or con appearances either but he still does

Same here

Just imagine if Mcfarlane opened up commissions for a limited time

I'd love a Jim Lee piece of art, however. In Jim Lee's defense about his prices, he spent 40 years building his brand and his art skills, to be able to charge 20, 35, 40K+ for his art and people do pay it, If he made his art much more affordable, he'd never be able to finish them all, so it really comes down to "Charge more, do less work and make the same amount" Me personally, No way in am I paying that kind of money, without Scott Williams Inks for anything other than X-Men/Wolverine. So someone could pay Jimbo for pencils only and throw Scott all kinds of crazy money for him to ink it for you.

My brother "Comicartfan" went to high school with Ben Edlund, He didn't even know at the time who he was in the early 90's when I went looking through his high school yearbook, I'm like "That's Ben Edlund!" His caption under his HS photo was "I'm going to be rich, really rich, If not, then I will fake it"

It's simple...a comic goes up...it's being shilled, a comic goes down, it's correcting...there is no such thing as demand anymore. haha

Just buy a HQ legal sized scanner

Got my 5th 9.9 today, been grading books since 2000. No prescreen either, regular submission

The PQ didn't help

$350? Those are rookie numbers

I've been submitting books to CGC since 2000, I've gotten 4 9.9s in that time. 0 10s Harley Quinn 1 (2000) Origins 1 Batman The Damed 1 - both covers People think 9.9s are going to become the new 9.8, and that 9.8s will tank in price are beyond delusional. Most 9.9s that get graded are post 2000-now

The SDB is only 10 inches high, they're fine

The slabs interlock for stacking

She belongs to the streets

As much as I love Baker books, I wouldn't be selling a MC 1, TMNT 1 and a SW Wrightson OA to fund it. I flip copper/modern junk to help fund it.

I use the 10 X 10 size, I have 20 stacked high and 2 spines down on the side. Never had a problem, they've been there for years now.

Yes, now the flood gates will be opened...release the krakken.

I'm gonna guess this CL 25 7.5 sells for $125K w/BP

Got this raw with a few others in a trade deal, Just came back the other day.

From these posts of restoration fails, I'd say it's best to just leave your 0.5/1.0's alone
