I all most fell off my chair laughing

Great pick up. I bid on this early and forgot to follow up. Looks like a spectacular 8.5.

Very nice!

I caught my Prince Albert on a box handle once. I guess that is what you get for moving boxes with no pants on!

The main reason 94 holds its price is because its the first book with the new team in the UXM numbering, whereas GS1 is seen as a 'one shot'. I don't think that is correct. I am happy to be corrected (thumbs u Well I imagine that is a factor and I certainly can't prove it isn't but I would have thought scarcity in grade is a much more important factor. 22 copies of XM 94 in 9.8 compared to 102 for GSX 1.

The white cover and there have been a few huge warehouse finds of GSX 1.

The price of each book is determined not only by the appearances in that book, but the number of copies available in that grade and other factors. 94 is much much rarer than GSX 1 in high grade.

Double cover for a 9.8 on the interior.

That weird Terror is a great cover.

That is freakin sweet!!!!!

i keep buying drek...

Amazing, great to see the different inking styles. And noticed that Bill Sienkiewicz left Wrightsons name off the finished piece . Thanks for sharing this Speedy-D I love this! Please post more.

No, I am correct, the print run of a comic has absolutely nothing to do with its valuation. Absolutely nothing. Now, if demand spikes and the available HG copies are lower than expected (due to many factors, attrition, print defects, print run, recycling drives, etc.) then it can affect price. But by itself, it is absolutely positively 100% worthless as an indicator of value. We will have to agree to disagree. Obviously it is not the last link in the chain of causation but it does have an effect on the total number of copies available on the secondary market. That is as there will never be more than the original print run available, hence it is a determinant of the final supply, and hence price.

Was walking dead responsible for those developments in comicdom? I was deeply into zombies, and their pop culture profile seemed to be increasing sharply long before TWD. I remember the zombie craze beginning with 28 Days Later and being further accentuated by the Romero remakes. And while TWD began publishing a few months before Dawn of the Dead was released, I don't remember any buzz around the comic until 2006-2007 while the Romero remake was a hit. But that might just be the way I experienced the phenomenon, not how it was actually accelerated.

Print run certainly does have some effect on price. To say it has "absolutely nothing" to do with price is a gross overstatement. Price is a function of supply and demand, if print run in part determines supply then it must have some effect.

I just read your original posts Bang Zoom, what can I say, WOW!!!! When you dropped that Adventure 40 I almost fell off my chair. Even experiencing such a collection and its story vicariously was a great thrill. Thanks for sharing.

very cool. Any pics? Not yet. Photo shoot is tomorrow. I look forward to it.

You might get a better response in the wanted to buy sub forum. Good luck with the search.

The Codex Seraphinianus, some real trippy stuff.

60K for a lowgrade funny book (which isnt even the 1st app.) = A tough market to enter. It takes deep pockets to play in the deep end of the pool these days ... With a little luck they'll come down ... It is 1st Joker and Catwoman.. Super nice book sartre

Very cool being OO makes it so much more appealing in my books.
