  1. I have a few Dave Stevens books to post, will have 100+ Spawns that might be added starting tomorrow or will end up in a different thread.

    The rules:

    *I accept first unconditional & unedited  :takeit: with item info here in the thread or PM, text, email, phone call: timestamp wins(I get emails of all posts and PMs for timestamps).

    *Payment due within 7 days of invoice unless arranged before "I'll Take It" or items may be reposted for sale.  Time payments may be an option, please PM before "I'll Take It" to discuss.

    *I accept Paypal, checks, MOs(sorry no International money orders), I think it's reasonable to expect if you post "I'll Take It" then you have the time to pay in the above stated terms unless otherwise arranged.  Please do not edit "I'll Take It" posts or post "I'll Take It" unless you are going to complete the transaction.

    *No returns on this item, no HOS or Probation list members please.

    Shipping in US $7 for one raw comic in sturdy Hotflips mailer, by weight after that, PM for International details.

    Of course, if there was some magic price and everyone everywhere was expected to meet it, then comic book prices would never rise, or fall, over time.  The "market" would cease to be and forever stay stagnant.

    On the other hand, I always thought it was a bit weird that con prices tend to be higher then elsewhere.  In a normal world, it would seem if you bring a bunch of dealers together into one place, competing directly with each other, often with a lot of the same stock, it would drive prices down.  But it doesn't seem to work that way with collectibles.  

    I think overall there is more inventory/more competition online that can drive prices down. At a con the time is brief, the inventory not as deep, and even if dealers have the same product the buyers have to be able to find it all and be patient enough to compare all the prices before making/negotiating a purchase.  It's a carp-ton easier to do that online, for sures.

    I would assume, like the other guys that have a verified signature program, that there would be a higher charge for verifying sigs. I believe that witnessed you pay $5 a sig, and verified you pay $25 a sig. So, in the long run you really wouldn't save by going the not pay the creator for a witnessed sig route. The few times I have taken advantage with the competition was when I went to an event there wasn't a witness at, or if I bought a book off a creators website that came autographed. I can't speak for everyone, but I know that personally, if I'm paying around the same cost either way, I'd rather the creator get the extra money then CGC. 

    Part of the equation we don't know is cost of Authenticated product will be, so we'll have to wait and see

    Bottom line is I think it still would be better as a separate product/label from Yellow Label Signature Series.

  4. I posted this in the other General thread, now with an edited first statement:

    * I think combining a Verified & Signature Series label for comics would dilute the CGC Signature Series brand, one that has been championed as the only all-witnessed product, and valued for this by collectors.

    *I feel this may have an adverse affect on the SS process in general.  (Previously mentioned in someone else's post) One potential aspect is related to the creators who are charging more for SS signatures, a customer now can pay the lower (non-SS) signing price and then go and submit the book for Verified status. Shenanigans galore. There won't be a need for the facilitator, bottom line might mean that creator signature prices go up across the board to counter this tactic which of course affects the true raw signed book collectors wallet.

    * Possible use of JSA for CGC application? Limit the authentication to creators/celebrities, etc to those that have passed away prior to the inception of the Signature Series program, and give it a completely different label.  Easy peasy, with less/little/no detrimental effects on the SS program as it is.

  5. I have another addition to the thread...
