My pain, your gain! Asking price: cut to $1900, insured CONUS shipping included
Board listing will run for 2 weeks; if there's no buyer, the listing will be closed/removed June 15th.
The light spot/shadow on the back cover picture is a bit obnoxious, and my apologies for that- I can take additional pictures if requested
The fine print:
1)
in this thread trumps any PM negotiations up to the point this thread is marked as sold. While I'll make the "sold" update as soon as any PM negotiations are settled, please understand that there is that small window where a poster could theoretically snag the book from this thread
2) Payment due via cashier's check, money order, Paypal G&S
3) No HoS'ers
4) https://www.cgccomics.com/boards/topic/475675-legion-of-goom-kudos-thread/ Kudos thread here for convenience. Ebay handle is pogohuqa for more positive feedback.
5) 4 week payment plan is acceptable- 50% down. We can work out exact payment schedule via PM. Down payment is non-negotiable
6) No returns on CGC graded books. For raw or artwork, please contact me within 5 days of receiving the item to initiate the return
7) Happy buying!

I'm going thru the same thing tho probably won't start the let go until later this year at the earliest.
Is it true Heritage takes 20% off the back end but also 20% off the front end?
I have anecdotally heard of some sellers being able to negotiate getting a portion of the buyer's premium back, but I would presume that's for those with very big ticket items and/or very strong relationships. Not sure if that's something that's still done, and it's never happened with anything I've ever consigned.
That exclusion aside, you're right as far as the concept. The "buyer's premium" is really a misnomer; in practice and as it relates to your net payout (the number that really matters), the seller pays it. Example: if you look in their archives and see a book that sold for $12k, the seller's payoff started at $10k. Then, their selling fees are deducted from that $10k. You could take a lower gross price from another selling house and still end up with more net proceeds at the end of the day due to that dynamic.
My experience reflects that: for items in the range of the OP's books, anything extra that might shown up as a higher selling result didn't really translate to extra cash in my pocket, but YMMV. Out of HA, Clink, and MCS, MCS has been the best fit for me in terms of net results, customer service, and timely payment, but none of the three have been "bad", per se. I haven't tried CC or Bob Storms yet.
Hope this helps!

Beautiful copy- come bid and snag yourself a bargain!

Anyone have any experience owning pieces done with copic markers? The medium is outside my wheelhouse, and while I know they're not archival, I saw this and was a bit surprised at just how fast this piece started fading.

Does anyone have any experience owning a piece done in comics? If so, how do you store/display it, and is the kind of fading above typical?

When you think Crisis #7, you have to also think Uncanny X-Men #136... You can debate it, but I'd probably value the #136 more, and I don't see that one cracking $1M either. Ultimately, Crisis #7 and the Death of Robin issues are some of the other more memorable DC 80's covers, but you can see with the Death of Robin issues selling recently, they haven't made it into that $1M range. Ultimately Marvel is king, especially when it comes to original art prices. Superman #75 could potentially get to that level, but again, that's Modern! And, I debated Sandman #8 and Swamp Thing #34. Although classics... just not sure they get to the $1M level (and I believe that Swamp Thing #34 was stolen years ago).
Sandman 5 just went for $90k.... not sure what the ceiling would be, but 1 or 8 would go for multiples of that IMO

Sweet! Apologies if I missed it, but could you please include a link to your CAF?

yes he certainly did, how about Gene Colan though?
they are all making choices. Buscema's demons are where he gets funky and his 80s Avengers are to his earlier stuff what this Thing is to Ronin.
My point was about editors sending art back, striving for realism isn't a top priority on a cover.
Gene's rendition of a suit of armor doing the splits and immediately regretting it, agonizing expression and all, I found to quite classical. I'd have the exact same expression if I tried that.

So as a kind of personal "inside joke" I bought a bone saw after the first Tobey Spider-Man movie came out. Unfortunately, I managed to leave it out over a winter about three years later and it rusted pretty badly so I just tossed it under the work bench where it sits today. So if they manage to identify and apprehend the thieves in this case and they need some help castrating those scum bags, I'm ready.
BONESAW IS REEEAAADDDYYY!

$90k with juice. Looks like that's a record for a public McKean Sandman cover, nearly double the last one I could find.
No idea if any have traded privately for more.

Good news...Sandman was #1 again last week on Netflix, with more hours than the #2 English TV series and the #1 English film combined

I'm not so sure about that. I'd rather see movies and cartoons explore new territory rather than give us a new version of stories I already know. Our warrior rabbit has had a lifetime of adventures and dozens of battles. Give me a new adventure, not a retread. Others opinions may vary, and wrong as they may be, they are entitled to them.
Good point, too. Ultimately, I think I would've been OK with either Usagi classic or the new adventures scenario had either one been executed better than what we got.

Isn't saying that Netflix would have been better off following the source material instead of producing a cartoon only vaguely based on the Usagi concept a compliment to Sakai?
The cartoon sucked. Sakai's comics are awesome. These can both be true.
Good point. I added the disclaimer primarily because I don't know how much influence/control Stan had in the Netflix series, or what his constraints were.
You're right 100% in that the source material would've made for a better series.

Yeah the netflix cartoon was awful. Should have just done an accurate comic retelling or even space usagi and it would been gold.
This isn't fair at all to Usagi and the incredible job Sakai has done creating it, and I know it wasn't an either/or proposition, but nonetheless ...all I could think after watching it was which monster at Netflix decided to kill Bone and greenlight this.

It's like they were almost acknowledging that they possibly might have made a poor decision with the whole "For us, this was an unprecedented item to grade," thing, but then they just doubled down on the dumb.
I think they are silently hoping that their ambiguous criteria of only "established" artists working on their "own" original covers and only if they are submitted to CGC for "inspection" ahead of time, will mean that there won't be a lot of these types of submissions in the future.
Luck with that.
Actually, I wonder about the whole "must be submitted for inspection prior to any grading" thing. Isn't that, like, every book? Aren't they all submitted for inspection prior to grading? Is this their way of indirectly addressing the abnormally high grades? Well, see, we "inspected" these books ahead of time, and then, see, we told Black Flag what the grades would be if they went ahead and wanted to officially submit the books. And then, Black Flag told us they just wanted all the real high grade ones to be graded....
One can only imagine the cost of that pre-approval inspection.
For those who suspect there's "pay for play" going on, I'd reckon that's your smoking gun.
I find it extremely unlikely that cost is zero if CGC is willing to undermine their own brand to the level they have. Just slapping these with a green label at the start would've put out this fire before it started; but then they can't sell the opportunity to upgrade into a blue with unaffected (if not outright inflated) grades.
I had my concerns when I saw the Promise Collection grades (with numerous inflated grades and Heritage as the exclusive seller), but this is a whole new level of bold.
My two cents? As the old saying goes: "it is worse than a crime; it is a mistake". What we don't know is if this will be anything more than a scratch on the 800 pound gorilla, but either way, I'm done tossing it my bananas.

Just made it through episode 7. I came in to this cautiously optimistic, and can say that it's easily surpassed my expectations. They've done a killer job adapting really tough source material. The acting has been superb overall- my favorite performance so far is David Thewlis, who really nailed it with his chilling John Dee.
Now, I'm torn between dragging the series out because I don't want it to end and binging it so the metrics look better, because they need to renew this for another season.
