I cant justify paying that much for something I don't readily collect

Nice! Was this on eBay? I seem to recall it on Sam’s blog, maybe a Hero Initiative auction? Congratulations, it’s a wonderful piece.

yeah,  they auctioned it off to help local comic shops that were affected by the shut down.

Why? The red and blues are certified test prints. If this silver/platinum exists the most likely thing is that its an error, like the virgin covers that have popped up

 

Personally, I dont know what makes any of these special, other than the insane low print run

That's pretty much what does it for me. I like having books others don't Have or can't get.

Doesn't alleviate the fact that in 30 years nobody on the boards has ever seen one, let alone die hard maxx collectors. 

Is it possible? Maybe

Is it more likely a mistake? Probably 

Yeah, i just want to see it. Kind of s#!t in my cheerios after I just found a red maxx 1/2 for the silver to pop up out of no where

Gocollect certainly wouldn't have the silver foil listed. They barely added the red foil in March only after I asked why it wasn't there.

I contacted cgc about the silver foil that was added and asked if they had a picture. I was told they'd only take a picture if the submitter requests it. 

Does anyone have any info on the wizard The Maxx 1/2 silver foil edition that was just added to the census?

Fufat is the one who claims to have bought them directly from Wizard.

 

I didn't buy them from Fufat. 

Just now, RockMyAmadeus said:

Fufat said he's not collecting anymore?

And can I ask how much you paid?

Fufat?

Damn... did wizard send these out or were these sold after the fact

They offered them for sale on their website. Here's some more info on them:

I don't know much about these.  Are they a special variant?

Test prints for the foil. Only 10 of the red and blue were printed. Only 6 blue and 2 red have been graded.

Was this a find somewhere if it was it deserves a story.

 

Not really that cool. I just happen to come across the seller online. I never thought I'd even come across these let alone have the chance to buy either of them. I offered what i was willing to pay and apparently it ws the most reasonable offer they got. Now actually getting them was a bit of an issue. The seller didn't really collect anymore and got these from wizard when they were offered on their site. They were a little uncomfortable dealing with that amount of money online because their lcs had warned them about being scammed. They wanted me to PayPal the money friends and family. Which i wasn't ok with. Long story long, i got the blue first and after that transaction went ok, i got the red ... goods and services. But very happy to have both in my collection. Now im just waiting for Sam to come out of hiding to get these signed and graded. Unfortunately i missed the torpedo comics signing. 

I only have these 2

Did OP ever get an answer? Contact cgc?
