That 1st release is doing great on ebay. The first few listed went in the $300 range and the last one sold for $500. Thanks again for bringing it to the boards attention.

Just updating, the 2nd giclee (“A Filthy Process") in the series is up on nakatomi sight ready to order. Last one sold out really quick so if you are interested may want to grab it in the next few days.

Here is the 2nd lot. Like the 1st lot, these books (for the most part) are from a collection I bought awhile back. Interiors have not been checked on any. I'll pm Ryan to choose one of the lots and get these books out. Thanks for playing people!

Thanks for pointing this out to me. It appears my wording and my example are conflicting. In the example I gave on how I was scoring it, Ryan was the winner. My thought when setting up the scoring system was that someone predicting a 31-24 score was closer than someone predicting a 45-7 score. Even though the total points of 45-7 was closer to the total points than 31-24. After looking at my wording, I can see the "Contestant that picks the correct winner and is closest to total points scored" would throw people off even though the example clearly (I thought) showed how I would score it. That said, it looks like we now have 2 winners! I'll put together a 2nd prize this afternoon. Ryan will get first pick and 707comics will get the other.

Looks like we have a winner! 49ers collapse in the 4th quarter. Always next year... PM me your address info Ryan and congrats!

That's the cutoff. Good luck to all. Go 49ers!

Got my eyes on that CGC 9.8 Stan Lee autographed Silver Surfer #1 for $181,000.00

I probably wouldn't be sending these type books to CGC. The Green Lantern 40 has a subscription crease and could just as easily be a VG grade as a Fine. With shipping and CGC fees you could be better off selling it raw. A box of mid grade silver age books is going to have some value to it, but getting them graded could easily eat into your profits. Put them in a mylar with a nice backing board and they will present well.

Go read it again. I'll wait.

I'm assuming you have never read X-Men 160, there's a lot of misinformation about it. Illyana is pulled out of limbo at the end of the story as a 13 year old (not adult). The book is basically set up as the "book ends" to the "Magik" series. Once she returns from limbo she basically appears on the last page of X-Men 160 with no knowledge of any new powers or her sword. The Magik series then explains what happened in limbo, how she obtained her powers and the sword. A few years back X-Men 160 and New Mutants 14 were both argued to be her 1st appearance. If you have read the full storyline it is pretty obvious it is the Magik series. This has all been discussed previously on the boards (in depth). For what it's worth, the Marvel Database and Marvel Wiki now list Magik #1 as her 1st appearance.

Hank Pym Beast Black Panther Speedy Manhunter (1970s Goodwin/Simonson Version)

Not a big fan of the Amazing Spider-Man 129 club. Never became attached to the Punisher as a character, which is odd as I absolutely loved Man Wolf a few months earlier. I've always wondered if Romita and Kane had remained on the book another 4 or 5 issues if that would have pulled me in. The Kane/Romita cover is iconic, but the interiors were just "meh" at that point. I know Andru has his fans, but to me, the classic Spider-Man run ended at #124. I just don't look at the Andru run the same.

Beautiful image, very heavy paper, it's a little darker than I was expecting but that's probably just me. I got #s 50 and 51 and I thought I got in towards the end. Wouldn't be surprised if some dealer or collector bought in quantity. Or maybe it's just that the #s didn't correspond with the order in which orders were placed.

Mine arrived today. Really nice print, will look great on the wall!

Wife picked up the 1st item for me a few weeks back. I knew it was coming but it was for Christmas. Original art to the Variant cover of Future Quest #12 by Tony Harris, featuring Space Ghost and the Herculoids. . Next, board member AlexH alerted everyone that the Berni Wrightson Frankenstein Book Cover was being produced as a limited to 300 Giclee print. I swooped in and grabbed one before it sold out as a gift to myself. Heck of a lot cheaper than the 1.2 Million the original sold for last month. Lastly, my daughter knows I'm a Herculoids geek and found this Garage Model Kit of Igoo the Rock Ape. My favorite character from the Herculoids. Didn't make it in time for Christmas but is on it's way!

And now it's sold out. Appreciate the heads up on this, got on just in time.

Big Hanna Barbera Fan, Space Ghost & Herculoids by Tony Harris? Heck yeah! Variant Cover to Future Quest #12.

Avengers King Size Annual #2, the classic new vs old Avengers lineups by John Buscema. I remember seeing it on someones website in the late 1990s for $10,000. I thought about shifting some cash out of my 401k to get it, but had second thoughts. Sigh...
