  1. Try bidding from the UK (5 hours ahead of NY). I have fallen asleep in more than one CC or ComicLink auction.
  2. I have the following serial movie posters
  3. I'm old school. Marvel #1 as I love the book. If "investing" it would be Cap #1.
  4. They'll do just fine if they focus on their best 8-10 shows and get out of tiny markets like Des Moines that can't support them. Agree. Over aggressive expansion without capital to pay for the growing pains of each show will reflect in fall of share price.
  5. Tec 38 for me too. Owning that Superman 1 would bother me too much.
  6. Neither. The missing piece on the 1.8 is too large for me to buy it and the brittle pq on the other would make me wait for a different copy.
  7. At $5,000, it's not going to be worth their time to investigate you. But, it does put a fairly low cap on how big this can get without attracting the attention of the authorities. and they have stated that they want to issue up to 88 million "coins" in the future.......
  8. They can call this a coin or a cryptocurrency, but they're soliciting investors, investing in comics, issuing dividends, engaging in buybacks - it's an investment company as far as the SEC is concerned. I hope you have consulted a good securities lawyer because this looks flat-out illegal without complying with all the regulations in place. Oh, and any dividends are absolutely going to be taxable in the eyes of the IRS. +1 Interesting concept. Can you please provide details of this investment fund with transferable units (the coins). I would like to see your fund manager licence, past performance, details of how the funds assets are segregated and that you have been in compliance with all rules when establishing this fund. Do you have a prospectus? How do you ensure that the coins are not sold to the public without the full regulatory exposure required?
  9. I sold it to carbonaro so it was he who had it on display. And at sdcc too...and heroes con. Which book are we talking about? the restored 9.4 that was a restored 9.2 It was at Carbonaro's booth. Here is my iPhone pic. And a fairly lousy but still mostly legible blow-up of the label. Rick, did you ever see the Kane auto on the first page? amazing - whats the price tag on this ... He was asking 500k in Chicago.
  10. Eisner, Foster, Caniff, Cole, Raymond... they had proper artists back in those days. Thank you. I kept wondering if anyone was going mention Alex Raymond, who has to be one of the most influential artists of "Ever...Ever", according to many of the artists making the list. Yes - Raymond and Foster the trinity - Raymond, Foster and Milton Caniff My personal favourite is Foster.
  11. didn't think 33s were in your scope. Nice I've always had a soft spot for Tec #33 when I first put my tec run together some 10 years ago, tec 33 was the book I sought "first"....it was "old school" thinking (since I had not actively collected since the mid 90's, upon my return 10 years ago)... I quickly realized, in our cgc cover centric world, that I should have gone after 31/29/35 first, but never regretted owning a nice 33! I'm definitely old school

  13. That is not the book you are looking for
  14. That's tough. I'm tempted to say Pep #22. Not for the popularity of the book itself, but for the popularity of Archie. Many people can name Superman, Batman, and Spider-man, but MOST outside of comic collecting CAN'T name the comic with their first appearance. (They just guess #1.) If looking purely at pop culture then Hulk #1 Most outside the US knows who the Hulk is. Hardly anyone outside the US knows who Archie is.
  15. Based on the tables the closest grader to CGC is Metro at -0.18. From a buying point of view (with the big assumption that all dealers priced the same at each grading level) the best dealer to buy from would be Bob as he undergraded by a full increment level. I would have expected this to be the case as Bob specialises in SA and BA books and those who do are generally stricter than CGC when it comes to grading GA books. I have the same debate with Nick Beckett (Flaming Telepath) when comparing GA and SA books
  16. D copy you still like comics Bought a lot of drek recently (SA Marvel readers to share with the kids) that wasn't worthy to post with the treasures that are in this thread.
