  1. I still think ebay is more realistic than overstreet. archie gets zero respect in overstreet
  2. Yes, it should! this is next on my "to track down" list
  3. all my locals are out or never got the variant so i'll have to order online from somewhere
  4. ok archie experts, at what point did B&V switch from the very mature look to the classic younger look we know?
  5. Love this cover! I talked to Andrew Pepoy, the cover artist at Heroes Con and he said he was surprised at the response to this cover. He told me that he'd sold the cover almost immediately for much cheaper than he should have, and had been fielding e-mail inquiries about it since (mine was one). I did see the original there for his Afterlife with Archie #1 variant which is cool, though much nicer before Archie Comics decided to censor Betty's butt cheek outline... He wouldn't let me take a picture![/url] Let's put it this way... I have never purchased an Archie in my entire life. The most I ever read were the digests while waiting on the supermarket line with my parents when I was a little kid. As soon as you posted this I went over to eBay and picked up a copy for about $8 shipped I think. I was captivated by the cover of this book. Then I text messaged a picture of it to two of my comic collecting friends and one of them immediately headed to eBay to pick one up. He definitely sold the original cover art for probably far less than what he got for it. I pull Archie for my daughter. I've never read it but she enjoys the book (I think...). This cover caught my eye. I put a post in the wtb thread to see if anyone has slabbed this. I rarely buy slabs but I want this one. ebay had nothing, it could be because its so new but I think its more no market for modern archie slabs. virtually non existant on ebay
  6. mr toast came up huge for me. picking up a sdcc book for me. much kudos to him
  7. and add to that, being charged duty on an order that you don't pay duty on. your charged for potential duty charges. I called ebay and told them it was out and out theft, they loved that
  8. ahh. ive delt with it too and its garbage. its hidden charges that cause friction between the seller and buyer. my 1st time I asked the sepper why I was charged 32 dollars for shipping for 1 magazine!! and he had no clue, he only charged 10. ebay keeps the rest, absolute garbage. I now ask before hand if they use this and if they do, sellers will not use this option and ship direct or we just don't do a sale.
  9. I put in my postal code and it shows 10 dollars shipping to Ontario. did he quote you 25?
  10. did he say what the cover sold for? that the cover of the year for me so far Love this cover!

  11. I was just going to post this too, absolutely love this cover.
  12. I wonder if overstreet will ever give archie books there proper due. http://www.ebay.com/itm/290944426165?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
  13. is anyone on here creature75 on ebay? they have some really really nice FM's up right now
  14. she is one of the most despicable human beings ever.
  15. that just seems wrong. can that mean all the books that came with the action figures can be second prints too? I don't know how to explain it, but I see a difference in a reprint and a second print, just my opinion
  16. that's sweet but its lame they put the word blurb over your sig
  17. ive never seen this book before, I need to find it now. was it a one off or a series of reprints?
  18. that BV is near the top of my list
  19. man, all the wife and I found today were a couple of planter boxes......
