we just need screen shots! Might save you time on general descriptions of the art. I'm waiting for Glen to claim one of Bechara's pieces right there live during the show, then resell the next week as his own.

I wonder how big Bechara's commission is?

Sir, the naked selfies at work thread is in Comics General.

how long before a slab is considered, well, an old fashioned stock certificate? Documented, registered, REGULATED, taxed, traded, leveraged, collateralized, and ultimately, written down or written off?

you as the recipient can also do this once a package has already been sent- just sign into fedex with the tracking number and request they hold it at a nearby fedex facility (and you can choose) I've done this multiple times with HA and others.

Blackstone will claw back a % of auction sales of slabs since they have serial numbers for all slabs produced after they update the CGC terms of use when you send your books in. The cost of slabbing will not be considered a purchase, but some sort of licensing fee. They own it, not you. The possibilities are endless!

FYI- since many of you in the OA thread don't poke their head in the other CGC threads: Blackstone bought CGC, which also includes this here message board, and the natives are F R E A K I N G O U T. I don't care too too much, but what if Blackstone or some other VC set there sights on HA? Now that would be interesting....

I know it's a cover, but it's also a double pager

I know it's a cover, but it's also a double pager

Google image search, think it's from Star Jammers, but I"m not sure if the image was cropped and it's not a double page spread. Looks a bit fuzzy for that.

won't let me delete this one...

what about that Starjammers series?

I think there's one in Marvel Fanfare if that counts...

I realized my mistake just seconds before you correctly corrected me!

I think there's one in #116? A Savage Land shot. I know where that is. Used to be on CAF

Los Bros aren't going to put up a price. It's going to be like a Bizarro The Price is Wrong. Highest Price Offer wins, but not the art, but a chance to buy the art for 2X whatever the offer was.

c'mon guys, tone it down. Let's just agree you're both wrong! or you're both right. I think the dimension you are missing here, is for whatever reason, the likes of Sparling, Grandinetti, Morrow, and I'll add Mayerik, and Spiegle is this: they're more than competent artists, BUT a large body of their work was not on the big mainstream titles & characters or even publishers in some case. Therefore, no nostalgia, not enough anyway to measure year over year as reflected in art prices. The only bump they get is just general OA price inflation (high tide raises all ships, etc) These artists are no worse that Heck or Werner Roth (better in IMO) BUT they didn't draw TOS Iron Man, or SA X-Men. Those titles and history and nostalgia trump the art- didn't matter who drew it. Larry Leiber drew lots of mediocre classic silver age twice up art, guess what, he get a considerable bump for that. Look at Richard Giordano, he drew and inked a ton of mediocre titles for DC, pinch hitting and batting clean up and prices reflect that. He's an awesome artist, but unless it was Batman or the like, no one cares. summary: good artist + mediocre title = low prices bad artist + mainstream title = high prices I'm glad we got that settled!

threads like this about the ratios of a Venom comic with 47 different covers are what make modern collecting suck. I wouldn't urinate on this book if it was on fire. Collect things worth collecting, not this contrived hype machine manufactured collectible nonsense.

what about the NFT?

pardon me, but who is TIm? They won the IRS auction? I have a couple Marvel B&W Magazines that I bought at SDCC in the late 90's that have a COA for the IRS collection with them. There was nothing remarkable about the condition or the prices ($10-15 bucks maybe) I think I have a Tales of the Zombie and maybe Vampire Tales.

all Dell's will be dead money in a decade, especially photo covers. the only, only exception, is of course...

there's no such things as second generation nostalgia. When Gen-Xers bail out of their plastic CGC tombstones in 20 years, and they start showing up at Goodwill, we will start to see viral videos of Gen Covid dropping them from roofs, burning them in fire, smashing them with hammers, shooting them with shotguns, etc.

umm, I wasn't joking. 1998

Imagine if we'd been stuck with the David Hasselhoff Nick Fury and not the Sam Jackson Nick Fury!
