  1. Went through a stack of about 20 copies of Spawn 1 getting ready for the Atlanta comic con coming up next month, and noticed on the inside front cover of one that the Spawn logo is all jacked up. I just figured some dumbo took a marker to it. Then I went through the rest and found 5 more identical to it. It's not marker, it was printed this way. I'd imagine it's common due to 25% of this little stack, but it's something I've never noticed before. Anyone else seen/have one?
  2. My all time favorite WW cover. Bolland's prelims are so detailed they look pretty close to the finished product.
  3. I've sold 2-3 copies of each of the first 13 issues for $50-$100 over the last couple of years. Those early issues had tiny print runs. Think basically the Walking Dead numbers had it not taken off..lower even. This is off the top of my head, but I think most everything under #15 has a sub 10k print run. I want to say the #'s I was hearing were like 6-7k copies for some of them. There are plenty of keys in the series (by the modern definition). They haven't really been cited much, but the series is full of 1st appearances. The Invincible gets raped issue could also count as key. The issue where Invincible fights his father is cited pretty as often as being key. Invincible going into space and living on another planet is pretty key for the series as the last big part of the book is all about that. These days the term "key" has gotten pretty broad in it's definition.
  4. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-1984-Hasbro-Transformers-G1-Twin-Twist-Jumpstarter-Sealed-Box-NEW/392296259338?epid=1208082588&hash=item5b56addf0a:g:GWQAAOSwaGhcwv9Z I'm no Transformers expert, but I've been buying some lately. Sealed??? Sealed with a Bumblebee inside? What craziness is this?
  5. Thanks! You should be the one congratulated though. Those covers are the nuclear bomb to my smoke grenade.
  6. Just noticed this post...There were a couple of non digital pages drawn for this series. I own one. If I remember correctly, I was told the last 3 pages were hand drawn.
  7. NICE! You totally called it on these. Glad you got the grades!
  8. I'm just going to opt out, so I guess it doesn't matter. Thanks for the insight though
  9. I agree with this. I consign A LOT with MCS. I don't want to jump through hoops to justify my pricing. I wouldn't ever price anything like that sweet restored Spidey, but I do price some things well above current market. In this market it only makes sense on certain things. I've set GPA records on plenty of books that at the time of pricing may have seemed outrageous. Books go from being $20 to $200 overnight these days though. Non key stuff I usually try to be the cheapest available unless that price would have me losing $. As far as best offer goes, I am against it. I'm not interested in getting offers of $175 on my items priced at $200 when that book would sell for $200 without a best offer option. I price the majority of my stuff to be competitive with current pricing. I'd rather not bump things up that I don't feel deserve it just to haggle and end at the same price. I don't want unnecessary steps to end at the same result. A lot of people that sell on Ebay loath the best offer option for this reasoning and more.
  10. Looking at his feedback he cancelled this same listing on someone that won it for $26...Hope you get it!
  11. i binged it all and didn't go to bed until nearly 4am. This show is incredible. It's like a really long, really good Zombie movie. Some people are trying to say that it's a Z-Nation prequel. It's not. That show is hot garbage.
  12. The #1 sketch variant is the way to go. Biggest book. Don't get fooled by the studio edition. It's similar, but just a later reprint. Just sold a 9.8 #1 sketch for $150 last week.
  13. I had a guy last year return a Daredevil vol. 2 #1 because he said he read it and it didn't have Spider-man in it. No lie. He basically paid return shipping just to read the issue, and not find a Spider-man story in Daredevil #1. I even looked him up on Facebook because I had to see what this stupid looks like.
  14. my god. Who in their right mind would pay that??
  15. I'm going with the third option. Kirkman keeps coming out with entertaining issues of Invincible until I die. Then he stops. That's my choice.
  16. I figured starting a dollar box finds for Gold wouldn't get much response..Sooooo....share your golden age books pulled from boxes that were $10 or less. You get a gold star if it was from a legit dollar box. I know some of you geezers had to have gotten some decent books back in the day for a dollar, so if you remember, please post the approximate date too. Got this Archie 1 coverless out of a dollar box a couple of weeks ago.
  17. If I started a Golden age $1 box finds thread it would have one post. Actually, I am going to start that in gold. There might be a few here and there..
  18. Invincible ended. It was my favorite monthly book. I'm hoping Kirkman brings it back at some point, but I doubt it will ever have a lengthy run again (especially with Ottley doing the art). It ended. I'm still kind of sad about it.
