The 2022 show has been canceled and rescheduled to February 17th to 19th, 2023 according to the site.

Looking to get a few things signed from guests appearing at this show as I'm unable to attend due to work responsibilities. Are there any facilitators from these boards attending?

Picked this up from @Par2ch. Not sure I want to risk it to crack and get signed by Ray Park. Decision for another day!

Was looking to get some Terminator 2 stuff witnessed, maybe even a KISS comic or two. Are there any facilitators or CGC witnesses that will be in attendance or setting up a booth at this upcoming show?

It's a private sale, you have to contact Sol Rosenberg for the details.

I'll bring all my shoes and all my glasses.

"I don't miss...." 

LOL, at least, that's what I think my Biker Scout would say.        

By the talented Dave Dorman! 

 

I'll only quote this one, but all of your Dorman sketch covers are absolutely stunning. I assume these were direct commissions and he submitted to CGC?

Here is some post Christmas goodness celebrating the lives of two great guys we recently lost.  Enjoy!

I love the "Brawl to settle it all" Vader/Maul dual sig, and I really like the artwork on the two Forbidden Planet books. Thanks for sharing these with us. Hope you had great holidays. Looking forward to 2021.

McGregor and Christensen 

 

That's terrific! Looking forward to the Obi-wan show on Disney+. Hopefully that means we can see more of McGregor at shows in the future.

No.

Thank you.

The demo video showed bagged/boarded books being inserted. To actually use, do the books get inserted raw with a few backer boards? Also, do these get returned with your graded books to reuse?

Thanks. I was thrilled to hear that Jeremy Bulloch was coming to Buffalo ComiCon two years ago. He and his wife were both so nice, but it was obvious that there were some cognitive issues. I understand that this was one of his last convention appearances. I had Jeremy sign a blank cover or two.... Tim Proctor did the Fett sketch cover.

I love that cover. It's really too bad about the decline you mentioned. You're definitely right about the Bullochs -- both Mr. and Mrs. are simply lovely to speak with. I really miss them on the convention circuit. I know some boardies have arranged private signings with him since he stopped doing cons, so keep an eye out for those posts.

I get the sneaking suspicion you're a Fett (Bulloch) fan.   That Hamill X-Wing Pilot AFV is killer.

Nice collection! Thanks for sharing with us.

Remember those books. He was a nice guy!

I forgot to tag you in the post. Couldn't have added those to my collection without the excellent care @Kevlar took with them. Crossing fingers I can get the money together before the Harrison Ford signing.

My two purchases from the Hero Initiative Heritage auction......

 

Is that Drew Johnson Batman a steampunk take on Bats? I like that one a lot, especially the cape.

Anyone having an issue logging into paypal?

Not sure if it was PayPal related, but I had two items in a cart on eBay, and it wouldn't let me check out through PayPal until I changed the quantity in my order. My order was two auction wins, so I was unable to change it.

Selected one of the two items to try pay it individually, and it went through fine that way and was able to pay for both (and my seller combined shipping previously through his invoice). Not sure if this is the same problem you were experiencing. It affected both web-based eBay and iPhone app.

Special thanks to Twin City Comics

That's all sorts of awesome. I kick myself for missing this signing. Hoping there will be others soon.

Star Wars #63 was a pivotal book for me growing up.  I had a copy at my grandmother's house, and when we'd visit I'd find where I stashed it (hidden from all my cousins) and read and re-read as Luke partnered with Chewie to infiltrate an Imperial base shaped like a huge alien bug!  The issue has humor, drama, and it was great to see Luke partnered with Chewie for a change.  And Chewie is the hero too!  But the kicker was always the dynamic cover, by the great artist Tom Palmer.  I think this cover ranks near the top in terms of Vader versus Luke images.  And this was waaaaay back when it was just one SW book a month being produced.  Now, we are spoiled with multiple amazing SW covers every month.  So this cover always spurred my imagination.  

I was eventually able to get a copy signed by the great Tom Palmer and here it is!   He was the inker on the original Star Wars #1 too, so I was able to get him to paint an original Darth Vader on a blank comic.  It's one of my most cherished comics ever, and here it is as well. 

 

Personal story + pictures of your treasures = pure magic. Those are awesome!

Nick was an absolute joy to work with on multiple transactions so far, helping me add to a set I've been building for a long time now. He is always courteous and professional in communications. And if you want bulletproof packaging, Nick's your guy. I don't think the Samsonite gorilla could damage these things. You can tell he's a collector too, because every book was in immaculate condition and well cared for. He's also been kind enough to offer me time payments on a couple big ticket items, which is much appreciated. 

I picked up a couple more beauties from @Nickbandit1977 for my action figure variant collection. Got a Hamill X-Wing Pilot and a Samuel Jackson Mace Windu (the second one). I should run over to the kudos page to drop a line about him there too.

Love the Gang of Harleys sketches, especially the 2nd one. I picked up one from Kincaid recently as well.

Oooh, I like yours too. It's very cool how much good art can be packed into such a little box. Thanks for sharing it.

Not an actual Kirby, but a sketch to honor Kirby by artist Phil Hester. On his social media account, he took bids for character of your choice, winner of a poll (4 choices) and a character he hadn't drawn in his xxKirbys run.

Long story short, Sky Masters of the Space Force won the character he hadn't drawn part of the competition, and I was lucky enough to have the winning bid. All the sales went to benefit Hero Initiative, the Jack Kirby Museum and HACAP (Hawkeye Area Community Action Program for Iowa derecho relief). 

I don't have the actual piece in hand quite yet, but here's an image of the final product:

A new commission done for a client and being shipped off to get graded. 

I like this one a lot. Her hair is astonishingly good. I also like the [what looks like] chalk drawings in the background. This piece really pops. Your client is lucky.
