Actually, Defenders 48 - 52 unless you already have 52. Moon Knight is in or on the cover of 48-51 only though

Sheesh I just realized I will have to pick up defenders 48-51 ,35cent variants That going to be a pain!

Never seen that one. Nice cover.

the artwork freekin rocks I commented on this sketch in the signature series thread and agree it is a nice sketch. However to be a nitpick the artist screwed up the placement of the fist spikes. The spikes should be facing forward away from under the knuckles on the fingers and not attached to his backhand. In this current position MK would have to twirl around and around to unleash muliple backhands to get any use out of those spikes .

Good Luck! (thumbs u

That book is fine the way it is!

K so MK marvel saga came late but it is finally here. Also a MK poster came from diamond in the free stuff so I grabbed that as well. Vengeance of Moon Knight is pushed back to the Sept. 16th and there will be 4 covers for #1. Not sure which is which but think there is a 50/50 covers and then 2 differnt variants in which one is a sketch variant. I will update on the 16th. Vengeance is coming and will be served.

Awesome!!! Agreed here, too! (thumbs u Great books, great grades, great prices for the seller. Andy This cover is pretty nice too. Might have to pick up a low grade of it

One of my favourite covers out of this genre.

Wheres Canadia? Do you have to go thru a wardrobe to get there?

Perhaps one day... In the meantime, maybe we can see a picture of you in your Ninja Hoe jammies.

thirdgreenham we need a picture of you wearing your War Dork #1 shirt

Update: From my understanding Moon Knight series ended at #30 and in September a new series called Moon Knight Vengeance which will pick up from #30. I noticed in the previews that the first book of this series will have a 50/50 cover and a variant. Figured Marvel would have learned by now we getting sick of all the 50/50's. Funny how they do 50/50 when financial times are rough. Oh well I only collect this title anyways and dropped many others because of it. This should be available in September. In August there will be a Moon Kight Saga book that is free that will have more info and catch up those that are not regular readers of the series.. http://marvel.com/news/comicstories.8475.Heroes_Con_~apos~09~colon~_Vengeance_of_Moon_Knight http://www.newsarama.com/comics/090620-heroes-moon-night.html Ross variant cover http://marvel.com/comics/onsale/lib/view2.htm?filename=/i/content/st/8475new_storyimage5442999_full.jpg

That figure 117 is just an other reason I don't want pressed books in which it is actually a method of finding what books are pressed by spot pressing. Also in my opinion that is damage since the paper courseness is smoothed and not as it was originally.

hmm my mistake thought you got that on the boards. Must have been someone else.

Asked and answered several times already in this thread. Yeah I know I just wanted a shortened version like a yes or a no. maybe

So what is the conclusion that pressing has on books? Is it damage or not regardless of how minor?

Well their is a lot of issues with this subject one being disclosure and how if people keep pressing books and it becomes commonplace raises the chance of there being a pressed book in my colection in which I do not want. I want no restored books in my collection. If they want to press their books for their personal collection that will never be sold then go nuts. But when they are releaseing these books undisclosed and such in which I have no control over stopping these books getting into my collection is just wrong. I should have a choice in the matter if I want a pressed book or not. If pressing becomes commonplace then they are taking that right away from me thus it is wrong

Well I don't know how to answer your statement because I have seen two sides of the topic where one thinks that non colour breaking creases are flaws and some that say that they are not flaws which goes back to whether it is restoration or not. I will note that when CGC grades or using the overstreet grading guide that they are listed as flaws that reduce the grade. My opinion is that it is a flaw being removed by pressing thus restoration since it is being restored to a previous condition. Some of these guys say that it is not restoration. I think when you have a community divided such as we are on the topic that it must be a negative thing thus why I do not like pressing and would like to keep my books pressed free in their damaged natural state.

In which I would hope we would try and do those things as less as possible for those of us that want to kep our comics pristine as possible. Thus pressing = BAD. but by that logic reading the books = Bad. So am I suppose to disclouse if I've read my comic book? YES Interestingly enough some people on ebay actually disclose if the book has been read or not in their ebay auction. Usually that they have been unread. but yet you'd still buy a book that has been read or handled. Everything that happens to a book, inculding pressing, is all on the secondary market. There is no natural or unnatural treatment. There is common and uncommon. It wasn't common for people to take great care of their comics in the 1940's and 50's, it is common now. it wasn't common for pressing 60 years ago (?), it is becoming more comon now. A book will be handled regardless and is something we don't have control over (unless you are sitting right at the press with white gloves and taking your copy right off the press). We have control over if we press or not.

They are all bad things that some collectors try and prevent. Hence Acid free boards, hence plastic sleeves be it regular or mylar, hence CGC encapsulation and all the other methods of storage medium. So if we are all trying to prevent these minor damages from happening to our books why would you go do something that speeds up the process such as pressing? I am well aware of the natural issues of degregation of a book but pressing is not natural! Handling a book = natural (people read and need to put the books away in sleeves and such along with shipping handling and whatever else) Reading it = natural (that is the whole point of a comic book is to read it so it is bound to happen) Rebagging = natural (Supposively with mylar and fullbacks you do not need to resleeve which was stated in this thread earlier when I asked about the lifespan of different storage mediums) Doing nothing to a book = ?? nothing happens if nothing happens Owning a book = (this is dependent on who owns the book and if he/she is pressing them) Pressing a book = not natural (this is done second hand and does not need to be done) Funny how we try and prevent all these things to our books that you have listed but yet some people do one of those negative things to books which is pressing regardless of how minor the damage is.
