  1. Gonna be some cross-posting of these....the whole three-issue run in one shot
  2. That's one way to look at it...I'm not in the SS crowd either; I know for some reason SS buyers pay more for the same book that's in the same grade (except for the writing on it; ironic to me and my mindset), but I do believe there's fewer collectors in that pool. I guess there's the perception that someone stood in line and paid for the sig so it's a value-add, but my idea of an autograph is a memento of a chance encounter, signed on whatever was handy. The idea of standing in line to pay someone to sign something for me is just a turn-off for me, even if I respect/admire/enjoy their work. All that as background to say I agree with the OP that the drawings detract, not add. But YMMV if you're already into collecting your autographs right on your comics...two very divergent strains of collector is what it comes down to, I think.
  3. All initial pix are up, so we are open! (I may post more during the auction if specifc ones are requested.) Do I hear $275?
  4. Y'know how some people start a thread with "just one book tonight?" Well, just 147 books tonight... Welcome to the Hexbox auction, a 147-book Jonah Hex extravaganza. On average, much of the lot is high side of mid-grade, with books mostly between F and VF, though there are some outliers to either side. The All-Star Western #10 is more in the VG range, with centerfold detached at the top staple. I will provide a few exemplary pix; happy to add any by request. The winning bidder gets: All-Star Western #10-12 & Weird Western Tales #13-38 (complete Jonah Hex run), Jonah Hex #1-92 (complete set), Hex #1-18 (complete set), Secret Origins #21, the 1977 Jonah Hex Spectacular, Vertigo Jonah Hex miniseries Riders of the Worm and Such (#1-5, complete) and a reader copy of the Jonah Hex Two-Gun Mojo TPB. Whew! Get hated by your postal carrier! I offered this once before as a straight sale; let's have some fun and see what an auction does. If I've missed any essential auction rules, someone please gently prod me and I will add/correct ASAP. I want this to be fun for anyone who is at all interested, so therefore opening bid will be low, bid increments will be low, and BIN will be fair but much greater than opening bid. Will ship U.S. Or Canada at actual cost. (FYI, I am in the northeast; I priced this to NYC at around $25 and LA at around $75. It's about 25-26 lbs of comics.) Payment is Money Order or Check. Returns: Sure, just notify me within three days of receipt and get it back to me on your dime in the same shape. Don't be listy Auction-Specific rules: Auction opens soon as all initial pics are posted (coming ASAP) and closes at 11 pm EST on this coming Thursday, July 12. (To clarify, a 10:59 pm post is good; an 11 pm post is too late to qualify). In the unlikely event of a tie, we will panic, fret, consult a psychic, and think of something. After a nice sandwich. Opening bid is $275 If you are close enough to easily meet in person, I am happy to meet and eliminate shipping. That said, I like my Dunkin black with a turbo shot. Bids are in whole dollars, with $1 minimum increments. BIN is $900 More/different additional pix? Just ask! Bid (and krap) away!
  5. I really gotta get out less...
  6. Awesome stuff, from three to five digits! Can you give us a general flavor of what sorts of things you're looking for in trade? Of course, we'd have to find you a live dodo bird to offer you something scarcer than some of this, but that's another matter figured I'd at least ask....
  7. +1 except the "or," -- call them all; invest the time. Think of it like selling your primary residence; you probably wouldn't hire the first real estate agent you meet. Compare terms, gain knowledge, establish a comfort level.
  8. I've got a whole run myself, but I just want to stop in to say these are great books -- inexpensive and awesome reads, some of the best, Cheap under the radar bronze Marvel (especially if you like offbeat) -- and a great seller!
  9. Fer instance close-ups of the Man of Steel #17, and a further price cut on the lot -- $125 shipped within U.S.
  10. Robot Man just bought some GA from me -- great communication, rapid payment, and a touch-base PM upon arrival. Of course, unless you're new here, you're probably not reading this as he's one of the great boardies and everyone knows you can buy or sell with confidence! But, for you new folks, now you know!
  11. Words fail me, and I don't think he would have wanted many, but I hope he'll accept thank you for everything -- the heroes, the countless visions of alternate realities, the expression of your beliefs through your chosen medium -- all of it. Thank you.
  12. Wes, it's all your fault! I KNOW you posted a Yes video, but I cannot get Pablo Cruise outta my head!
