I think we are talking past each other. I thought you said the MCs boxes were only good for a few books. I don't recommend amazon boxes but if they work for you....

I don't know which boxes you are referring to. I get a box from MCS that will often have well more than five books,, or even 25 books in it. Are you talking about the white boxes they send slabbed books in? I would not ship those on their own. I use them within a box, but not to ship solo.

DC Whitmans in HG are much rarer than HG Mark Jeweler copies.

When I lived in Vegas, I'd put ads on craigs list and the local community boards for bubble wrap and boxes. These days I don't need extra but when I get too much I'll advertise on facebook. I've yet to have to throw any away, someone is always moving or packing something.

Amazon boxes are made incredibly cheap and seem to be designed for single use. I rarely find a box of theirs that is worth re-using. They almost all go in the recycling. MCS has the perfect boxes to ship books and I'm lucky enough to get a box a week, on average. I have a contractors waste bag pretty full of popcorn thingies and another of rolled up paper that people use to ship. I also get a weekly delivery from Wild Fork Foods and their insulated cooler boxes are perfect for shipping bulk slabs.

Was anytone here subscribing to Marvel books when the Big Diamond books were being printed. I read in one source that these books were sent out to subscribers while another says that they weren't.

I've never come acxross one of these. I actually thought they were distributed in one gift set until fairly recently.

I don't get that. I think the SMFC books will eventually be recognized as being truly rare variants. Until then, I buy them when they are priced right..

Disney made a Long Island Childrens Hospital remove a mural of patients interacting with Disney characters a few years ago.

I bought two when they first came out, as I wanted to see what they included and they were on sale. I forget what they cost, but I was happy with them. If you were to buy the individual parts, it would cost more. Watch a few youtube videos to see what they included and go get your own.

So Much Fun Classics are rarer than both. Only about 5,000 of each book were made.

Disney will certainly try to shut down anyone selling it's products. They are notorious for it.

1st world Problems.

The Batman 401-403 and the Wonder Woman 1-3 packs were solicited and distributed by Diamond. I don't recall them soliciting any other three packs besides the GI Joe #2 multi-packs that set off a scandal and made Marvel change it's reprint policy.

Would you care to wager on that? I'll wager this new logo is a top ten seller for Disney.

Or.... Disney announces they will stop selling merchandise with a beloved logo, but gives the fans a few months to buy it. Then they get to sell a new logo and eventually bring back the old one. Ka -ching.

I kind of like the new logo. It's got a Conan/Death Dealer edge to it. The old one was fifty years old. Retire it and then bring it back in a few years for a limited time only. If Disney did a Punisher/Biden crossover ala the Spidey/Obama one, I bet a lot of suspect groups would never display the Punisher logo again.

I'm surprised these books have not gained more traction. I just bought a few off of ebay for under $15 shipped. Unless there is some new info on these, they are supposed to have less than 5,000 copies per title. I recall the scramble when these were first discovered and I thought these would be as big as the Marvel .35 cent variants. A regular Spidey 292 had hundreds of thousands of copies produced. The SMFC version has 5,000. I've never seen a three pack of them but that seems to be how they were sold. Anyone else have the bug? It's a pretty small subset but not easy to put together.

I gave it a few episodes, hoping the real Bobba would show up but I'm guessing he didn't. What a waste of my time watching that .

I don't read the Punisher and havn't since The War Journal days. I liked the original character even if it was a blatant Mack Bolan rip-off. I will say I was surprised Disney allowed so many groups to infringe upon such a well known logo, to the point where they switched it rather than protect the copyright /trademark whatever. Living in NY, I was surprised to see the NYPD ESU using a variant of it, and several right wing extremist groups in Arizona blatantly sell knock offs of it. I liked the old logo and appropriated it for my clubs softball team one year, but when we tried to use it again the next year, the league said it was not allowed. It's strange that Disney will stop a bunch of middle aged guys from wearing it for softball but not defend it against other uses.

Go for it.

In the early/mid 90s, I disassembled a few books and used a comic bag and board as a cheap frame. I'd sell the pinups/posters/ mutilated pages for a buck each and sales were very hit and miss. I found if I was at an outdoor venue and had room to spread them out they did okay but if they were in a comic boxc they were almost ignored. There was one book that featured Superman pinups from the ages that I could sell six or seven pages from better than I could sell the comic itself. It wasn't much of a money maker but it moved some inventory. Just be prepared because there is always a richard who will talk bad because you desecrated a sacred text.

What I can't fit in normal or Golden Age comic bags will usually fit in a magazine bag. There are a few books, like Warrior Magazine that don't fit the regular magazine bags. For those I use treasury bags.

Why not have MCS submit them for you? Ship them to MCS.

I don't think that is the case. Two weeks might be for raw books .
