  1. True but if they have boxes of these books they have 3 options: 1. Liquidate 2. Stick them on a pallet in the archives to never see the light of day 3. Destroy them At least by liquidating them they made a bit of money and get them into the hands of collectors. Now if you were one of those that paid premium prices for these then i can undertstand why you would be upset but to the best of my knowledge none of these books are all that desirable anymore despite the low ratio's. In future publishers need to be more wary of over printing these "rare" variants to avoid situations like this.
  2. DC Comics Liquidates Rare Variant Covers How do we get these? https://www.bleedingcool.com/2017/06/15/dc-comics-liquidates-rare-variant-covers-including-1300-jim-lee-sketch-covers/
  3. CGC should reach out to him and fix this. Bad publicity.
  4. I think it was for a Canadian documentary that aired way back then.
  5. 1970s Marvel/DC Offices Saw this awesome footage from 1977 i think and just wanted to share
  6. Yes when i met him he was nice to me as well. Heard people say he's a person_who_is_obnoxiously_self-impressed but it wasn't the case.
  7. Same here. Bought everything but dropping the discount, stealth print increases and now no print runs + the fact he is pumping them out so frequently has put me right off. Bored of the 3 variants of a variant sets as well. The 2 X-Men sets will be my last for a while.
  8. X-Men Blue 3 cover set is still available. I like the new Jean Grey set but too many variants, too quick so will pass.
  9. Everyone deserves a second chance unless they commit the most heinous crimes, which this is not. The Bible and other religious text preches forgiveness after all.
  10. Shame. He's a good artist. I like his work. X-Men Gold 1 was the first X book I've picked up in years. Hope he learns from this, issues an apology and is given a second chance.
  11. It's the contrast between a human face and a CGI armor pasted on a man in green bodysuit. It looks fake everytime. That's why for example when Iron Man has his mask off, RDJ is wearing the top half of the suit as a real prop. I doubt the finished version will be much better.
  12. It's very common to request items be destroyed to get a refund/replacement. Sideshow for example do the same thing with their statues as it's not worth shipping it back if there is a defect. In this case it just looks too easy to fake.
  13. Noticed both Gold and Blue 3 sets are still available on the next day. Over saturation (9 covers in 1 month) or are people unhappy with the print increases, discount decrease and cover price increase?
  14. Why does it slip when the second guy holds it? It would be very easy to fake that with a high res copy of the cover attached to a coverless copy of the regular edition. I'm NOT accusing anyone as i have no proof.
  15. No that was someone else. To me he said you can go ahead and cancel if you want. So i posted it here. Then i told him I'm not going to cancel, I buy it for the art but this damages his credibility.
  16. I called him out on it on twitter and he just said "feel free to cancel your order". Yup, thanks JSC but you lost me as a loyal customer.
  17. Higher print run, higher prices (compared to ones pre X-Men Gold) and now the discount code is down from 15% to 10%. This will probably be my last order from the store. Been buying from him for over a decade.
  18. 2 episodes in and i have no idea what the critics are on about. Really enjoying it. Sure It's a bit slow but so were the others.
  19. Noticed a lot of the reviews are complaining about casting a white guy and that he should be Asian. Yeah i know.
