I go to several cons and half dozen card shows a year, in my experience dealers selling raw vintage/“wall books” are always way overpriced. They don’t even want to negotiate like dealers on whatnot or IG do. That’s bc they’re not looking for serious longtime collectors at shows, they’re hoping to sell to impulse buyers or rubes with no idea of FMV. As for the “exclusives,” you ain’t kidding there. I can’t be the only one over this gimmick? Every online dealer had a table full of “exclusive” variants. Don’t get me started on the nude variants. The McDonald guys had a table full of them priced at like $75+. I am embarrassed how they perpetuate the fanboy “has never touched a female” stereotype I thought we grew out of as a community. Meanwhile Black Flag was still selling the same Crain variants people are always trying to scalp on here or feebay so I’m not getting the scarcity argument. Finally, I bought two 2023 C2E2 variants at the Unknown table which I guess they split between the cons. I guess I have a different definition of “exclusive” than comic dealers… I was at Megacon three days and didn’t walk the entire space but the comic sellers seem to be shrinking every year. Maybe it was C2E2 splitting the attention tho. I passed that Dale Roberts booth several times and was tempted to say hi to joeypost but didnt want to bother anyone when vintage comics aren’t my jam. I wish I couldve found custom Lego mini figs but all I saw was guys selling ones pulled from sets. I did bit a few hundred in toys tho bc toy dealers seem willing to price things in line with ebay and even negotiate better prices. Or maybe they just had a bad weekend and wanted to salvage Sunday. This was my 6th Megacon in a row and I’m sad to see the comic selling aspect eroding away.

Add these two to my ever growing pile

Does anyone attending Megacon this weekend sell blanks/sketch covers? I plan to get a handful of commissions this weekend and need to find someone with a good selection of blanks. Feel free to DM me.

That book is awesome! I know the grade is secondary to your sigs but out of curiosity what was the first grade you got back on it and has it stayed relatively the same? I’m working on a few multi sig books and I’m just curious if cracking and recracking leads to a steadily declining return LOL

add to my other claim

add these two to my pile plz (one copy of the Harley/Ivy/B&V book)

these two added to my pile at $4 each (only one copy of Batman 442, plz)

these 2 @ your 2 for $12 sale

I’m noticing certain books Todd is more likely to t-bag you on. Like it seems he almost always does it on a ASM300. It’d be interesting if some dirty stats nerd went through this thread and like eBay listings and came up with a spreadsheet on which books most frequently get the t-bag while which are more apt to get a full proper Tood Mc sig.

These 2 BOGO just under the wire. (one copy of the Batman plz)

these two, thanks.

So I underestimated the glut of McFarlane books flooding the market. Darn CGC and their lightning fast turnaround times! Evidently my “board friendly” price wasn’t so board friendly after all. To rectify that allow me to offer a one time price drop to: $700 I hate bumping my threads but I’d like to avoid feebay and get this off to a boardie - even one from Cleveland. Offer good until this drops off the front page then I guess I’ll move it elsewhere.

I deal in comics, cards, and toys and comic book people are BY FAR the absolute WORST when it comes to making deals. On cards it’s not uncommon to offer say $3000 on a $5500 ask and get an immediate accept or offer $175 on a $300 BIN toy and get it without a counter. But you send an offer for $150 on a $200 comic and they react like you’re trying steal milk from a baby.

Here’s Toddy….

You know this book. Amazing Spider-Man 300, fresh back from the McFarlane signing with the spiffy custom Toddfather label. Graded 8.5 with white pages, I didn’t spring for a press and the graders notes indicate some seemingly pressable defects if that’s your thing. Recent sales on Feebay are mostly accepted Best Offers but the ones visible are $775, 850 and 850 so let's just average that out for a boardie friendly price of $800. Price Drop - See below! Terms and Conditions: Payment: Check or PayPal only. Shipping: $20 for USPS Flat Rate Box with insurance, signature and tracking to USA. Canadian friends I'd have to look into what international flat rate boxes run. Returns: No returns cuz this is a CGC graded book so you know what you're getting. Been buying/selling on the 'Bay since 1998 with 100% feedback and I recently sold a ASM 121 on here so if you need references, happy to supply them. Nobody on the Naughty List or from Cleveland need apply. gets priority. DM with reasonable offers are welcome but little emoji man there trumps any negotiations.

Got my Todd back today. I have to say I’m very disappointed. I cracked a 8.5 with graders notes noting fingerprints back and front cover, cb spine stress lines and light crease top back cover. I sent it to a private presser who usually gets me a bump but as you see it came back exactly same except with all new notes of blunted bottom corner & light creasing to cover. I feel like there’s no grading consistency anymore. As you can see, I met Todd years ago and got a raw sig so I just got this one bc I like collecting keys in yellow label. I’m pretty disheartened by this lousy grade tho so I’ll probably end up selling the slab and hopefully find a better one once they flood the market. Gonna rethink submitting anything other than celeb books (where I don’t care much about grade) going forward if the grading on comics is gonna be this wonky.

My only problem with Driver is that Doom is supposed to be this devastatingly handsome dude before Reed’s stupidity gets him all mangled up. Dude looks like a Ferengi. I’d have preferred him play Ben. He does emo better than anyone and that’s what Ben needs.

Don’t usually bother with a but I really don’t want to put this on Feebay and see them take a big chunk of my sale. Someone has to be looking for this book. Send me a message, make me an offer, tell me a knock knock joke, don’t be shy!

Here's a beauty I picked up at my lone trip to NYCC 6-7 years ago. Thought it'd grade better but I should've had it cleaned & pressed. I've since picked up a better copy so for those of us stuck at home looking for Spidey MEGA-KEYS, here's your chance!

I thought I heard a couple British affects slip in there. Weird because I don’t remember noticing a one in the entire Netflix run. Also I dunno if it’s the new suit or he’s filling in a bit with age but Charlie looked a bit…thicker than I remember. Reminded me of Batfleck. I gave up on this terrible show a month ago but had to come back for DD & wasn’t disappointed. I’m all in with making Charlie the MTVU version of RDJR.

Mexican variant Harley Quinn photo cover signed by Margot Robbie. Only two photo covers of her exist but this one is much much rarer. There’s only two in the census TOTAL, my Signature Series copies - hope this counts since I own both LOL
