Sent off to CGC today. Will update when it gets back. I’m hoping for a 3.0, but wouldn’t be surprised if it comes back as a 2.5.

.75" tear between the N and the O at the top of the cover.

FWIW, none of the Walmarts near me carry any of these exclusive comics (the two I checked, anyway). All I wanted was one of the Swamp Thing exclusives, but I had to resort to the bay.

I'm a big fan of this Kong of Skull Island #1 cover from Eric Powell:

Very cool piece! Game development is another path she could take. Good concept artists are always needed but also some of the most competitive positions. There are a lot of aspects of game dev she could consider in art; animation, character artist, environment art and concept art just to name a few. Depending on the studio and the game, pay can be pretty good and will pay out bonuses if the game does well enough.

Strange. I've had two books both shipped priority - one I shipped and the other coming to me. An Alert with expected delays were on both of them due to possible emergencies in Ohio and Oregon... But both seem to be on track. :Shrug:

Picked up my first OA piece last month. Eric Powell's art from Action Comics #857 page 4. Loved his portrayal of the Bizarro characters and this piece had 'em all! Bizarro Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Hawkgirl and Lex Luthor - and regular Superman throwing some classic Powell Punches!

Is it? I don't know much about this book. But cover A seems to sell right around $500 (although maybe not close enough!) https://www.mycomicshop.com/search?TID=25139861

Ah yes, wasn't even thinking of those early Goon appearances. Good call! All New Marvel Now! Point One #1 is another one. 1st Kamala Khan.

Goon #1 from Avatar just sold for $1425 at a 9.8 on the bay.

I picked up a Goon #1 the other day at a qualified 9.0. Grader's notes are: light soiling right center of front cover medium, light gloss smear top of front cover. I couldn't see these flaws through the slab so I cracked it to get a closer look. There was a little smudge of something to the right which I was able to wipe off. My main question is about the gloss smear. I definitely see it but it's only visible in the right light. It's almost like a light abrasive was quickly brushed on a portion of the cover causing the gloss to wear away. I'm pretty sure nothing can be done about this, but I just want to make sure. Anyone else have a note like this before and is there a remedy? I'm kinda shocked this book isn't at least 9.2, it's in pretty excellent shape. Dropping it down to a 9.0 for a light gloss smear seems intense! Tried my best to get a picture of it.

I usually set up automatic declines for ultra low offers. I think it's always a good idea to send a counter, even if it's far from the buyers initial offer - You never know!

Love it when I send an offer to a seller and they decline with no counter. Do you not like money!!??

Pulled this out of storage the other day. One of the few toys I kept from my childhood. Still looks great!

Bump! Open to offers!

The seller also has this heavily restored and trimmed Batman 9 that somehow has a blue label: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Batman-9-CGC-0-5-OW-Pages-Classic-Cover/401703962848?hash=item5d876c08e0:g:UM4AAOSwIt5cXhTp&frcectupt=true
