  1. My first comic-con as a collector was last year at SDCC. I got a few different books, submitted some through CGC. The one I was most excited about was a nice copy of X-Men #266 that I got signed by Andy Kubert (witnessed). The book never made it back to me, and was lost in transit by UPS on the return trip. Painfully, I found out that insurance was an option, one I had overlooked.

    Anyhow, I know I am assed out for any kind of recourse because even if I found it, it likely has changed hands several times. I would be interested in getting ahold of this specific copy if it turns up.

    Edit: This should be in the general forum... if a moderator would like to move it, please do. Thanks!

    Here are some copper lots I'm hoping are priced to move. All issues are NM or better. Most issues are in a Mylites2 bag with fullback (but not all sets). First person with the :takeit: gets the lot.

    Please, no probies or HoS board members. 

    I prefer PayPal, but would be open to other options.

    I prefer shipping Priority, but will ship media for you. Just say the word.

     

    First up: Justice League 1-7. Very nice set. Most issues are NM+. $10 plus shipping.

  3. I didn't read The Forge or The Casting. I did like this book, although I was clearly missing some pertinent information. Being new to comics I had no idea who they were dropping on the last page.

    I want to subscribe to this but the last page was VERY intimidating at $4 a pop or more...!

  4. Yesterday I recieved my first CGC encapsulated comic for my collection in an ebay purchase.

    Avengers Annual #10 - CGC 9.2 (0271595007)

    I don't have anything to compare it to other than pictures online, and after a little bit I have myself concerned with a few things:

    1. White Pages: The label says it is white pages but it doesn't even look close to me. I know this is subjective as far as when and by whom the book was printed. It means original condition pages, not necessarily white. I took a close up picture if anyone that knows this book can chime in.

    2. Sealing glue: There is a couple of inches where there is glue on the outside where the seam of the encasement is. Is this normal? Another picture is attached for that.

    These two things and not knowing better gives me that sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. The book itself is nice, but I am not an experienced grader so I cannot tell if it is worthy of the 9.2. If there is legitimate concern with the issues above I will add more pictures of the condition.

  5. Is 70k extremely low? I managed to snatch up several copies too by going to a handful of shops.

    What a fantastic read, I have no prior knowledge of Mister Miracle but by the end of the first book I cared about him, was intrigued by what was going on with him and left with excitement for the action to come!

  6. Was able to call this morning and get my LCS put a couple aside for me until I get off work.

    I was going to go grab it yesterday for the heck of it, not knowing what to expect, but had to work late. Then at 9pm last night I see all these reviews about the "best comic book of 2017" and MyComicShop.com was 'sold out' already. MCS has some now but they jacked the price up.

    I will read it tonight and come back with my take, I have avoided spoilers past the first couple of pages.

    lol sorry bud.....i should have made it more clear....im doing separate posts now to make it more clear date and time.....im confusing too many people

    I even called my mom this morning to tell her my exciting news! :acclaim:#notreally :)

     

    Agree, separate posts would be better for auction style I think. It was way too far under the radar to end with my bid!
