  1. You will probably get a lot more responses if you post this in the Comics General section, and you may also get a lot of direct messages and offers as well.  But as Revat said, I wouldn't do anything until it is actually graded.

    Grading an AF15 is probably going to be somewhat expensive. If you were to sell it, auction houses like Heritage and Comic Link may be good options, and I've heard you can even negotiate the fees with big ticket items like an AF 15.

    Looks like a great book, and welcome to the boards!

    Edit: Sorry for the loss of your father

     

  2. RIP Dave Prowse 

    I met him as a young kid back in 1983 or 1984. He was in town visiting kids in the local children's hospital where my mom worked as a nurse. She was allowed to bring me in to meet him as well, and I got this signed picture which I still have. The back side has a local charity information printed on it.   I think this is where I learned there actually 2 people that were Darth Vader.

  3. Another great episode...we need more than 8 in a season! :sumo:

    Interesting to learn more of Grogu's past, but wonder who saved him from the Jedi temple during the purge?  Or was he already known by Sheev to be special and was immediately captured instead of killed?  And maybe it was Grogu's DNA/blood/whatever with the high "M-count" used to help make clone Palpatine (or multiple Snokes) in Rise of the Jedi?  Of course, that means he would have to be re-captured at some point, so lets not go there...

     

     

  4. Welcome to the boards! (well, it looks like that was a year ago :) )

    I would probably post this in the signature subforum on this site to get some ideas there.  It probably will come down to what are your goals with the book: sell, long term hold, get sigs form favorite artists, etc.   Personally, I feel the cover artist is always a good choice.  People have varying opinions on celebrity signed books, but I think Shameik Moore would be excellent in this case as well.  Actually, I would get them both if I could!

    I have signed up for a Marvel subscription for one book (ASM) fulfilled by Midtown.  The books arrive in a backing board with cellophane around the comic.  The first one, honestly arrived perfectly.  The second one... less than perfect... far far far far less than perfect. 

    It looks like I will cancel the subscription if it happens again and then just wait a year and buy them all on the second hand market.

    I am down to one title.  No comic store is holding that for me. 

    Before I got back into collecting a few years ago, I had a similar experience.  I went through the Marvel website to subscribe to the Star Wars series, which was fulfilled through Midtown.  The "backing board" was thinner than a normal backing board.  For the most part, they typically arrived in pretty good shape, but I wasn't expecting 9.8s.  One time, it was very damaged, and I wrote their customer service.  They basically said something like their subscription books  (or maybe just Star Wars?) shouldn't be used as collectibles, but they would send out a replacement (up to two times or something).   A couple of times an issue was skipped, but after writing them, sometimes twice, they would send out a new one.  At the time, I was ok with them since I really just wanted to read the story and they were at least 40% off cover price.

    After a couple of years, I decided to get more serious about collecting and started visiting the LCS and cancelled the subscription.  Things may have changed since.  I'm guessing subscription comics may be shipped differently than if buying single from their store directly (where they would ship more securely)?  But I'm not sure
