  1. I only asked for something similar to JLA #51/2 error.... Not being confrontational, but your twenty eight year old example of an obscure title does little except bolster the appeal of the more mainstream JLA #51 , IMHO. Anyway... The market will decide if it's a dollar or $250
  2. ABSOLUTELY. It's a $50-$100 book in a month all day long.
  3. So what is that the sixth confirmed copy from Philly. Second? seventh. They're certainly not plentiful. ( and they could have come from NY
  4. No, because newsstand copies typically have different cover prices than direct copies anyway. The "error" about this book is the cover, not the UPC box or the price. Once it became obvious that the book isn't rare at all, people have gone to new lengths try to keep the book pumped at least through the weekend. -J. Wager? I say DM copies $250 in a month. You say less. Anything. Put up something besides the diarrhea spewing from your mouth.
  5. were Hulk, Avengers 77, Daredevil 41, and Uncanny X-men 423 released with the incorrect cover art? And incorrect issue number? And incorrect creative team blurb on cover. If so, YES. If No, Justice League #51 / #52 is unprecedented. HISTORIC.
  6. ... Splinter ain't dying.... Advance solicit from publishers is often a red herring, ESPECIALLY when cover art is not provided. He's dying Wednesday though. ( Superman isn't dead either )
  7. It's awful. Here's the plot: Wally rejoins Titans. They all hug. They all cry. And hug. They announce that somebody made them forget each other. Then they hug. And cry..... #truth I like it...Titans fans will love it. No... Green Lantern is awful too. Unreadable. And Batman. UnBatmanlike. Rebirth is on thin ice.....IMHO Loved Superboy #0, er...Superman #1 Green Arrow is a Key issue. I've no doubt Green Lanterns is awful, didn't like the rebirth...looking forward to Superboy 0. It's a magical, Joyful comic book. Everything I love about the Super-Hero genre.... A treat.

  10. Splinter won't actually end up dead. I know it. You know it. But he's dead Wednesday. Quick flippty, McFlip.
  11. Superman #1 reads more like Superboy #0 Fantastic comic.
  12. I wouldn't have had a problem with the post if it had been more accurate and not trying to rip people off into thinking that only a few copies were out there. Be honest from the start and say that over 100 were sold, don't imply that it's in the dozen area, and then let people bid accordingly. Seems like the only ones with their panties in a bunch are you and the Comic BS I guy who won't be able to gouge potential suckers its Comic-B.S.-I. Please use the proper hyphens and periods in future sentence structures. BTW I did see a few people with copies of the Preacher WW comic con box variant that had the Preacher and Vertigo logos on the front. And by that I mean "only a few" Weird. I'm sure we're only just starting to begin to see the flood of new Preacher #1 reprints. I know we've all moved on to Rebirth. But that virgin Preacher 1 reprint is making some people a tidy profit on Ebay. I believe it was stated that it was $20.00 per at WWPhilly. If that was the case at least one guy has made about $500 bucks +/- on the bay. Heck, the 'free' reprint is selling for 5.00 per. Hilarious. Yeah, probably should've bought 5 or 10 of them for the quick sale. Curious to see what they sell for when it's officially released in the WW box. "If" they follow the same pattern as the BA 12 reprint, there will be a full color with title logos, the virgin variant and a sketch variant Ahhhh, The Secret Origin of your i-ness: Yeah, probably should've bought 5 or 10 of them for the quick sale. You were right there. Opportunity staring you down. You couldn't pull the trigger. Others did. You got really, REALLY cranky & needed a nap. You're better now. Secret Origins rule! What's it like being a compete miserable cockhead your entire life? Your history of public racist remarks is well documented, it's a miracle that you're still here and aren't on probation again. It's gotta be killing you to hold your db tongue. I chose to not "pull the trigger" on multiples of these reprints, it's not like I didn't have the opportunity, they were there for days puta. Should I have made a few bucks? Sure. Will I lose sleep over it? Nope. The $30 I paid for a Herr Starr sketch is worth more to me than getting a couple of books to flip. If you don't get that, and I'd gather that you don't, then you never will. Go peddle your Jesus Island toilet paper. You're a joke Your history of public racist remarks is well documented, "Lonzilla", I engaged in an online debate about Miles Morales & went way over the top trying to be funny.... Once. I think you've been called out more than once on your remarks: https://graphicpolicy.com/2012/10/18/larry-doherty-and-larrys-comics-at-it-again-this-time-hate-speech-towards-transgenders/ With that said, you have not done this in a long, long while and I think there is a point where past behavior should be left in the past. So if I "blog" about you, whatever I "blog" becomes fact?
  13. Thanks Larry It's not a "lock' Just a spec. ( I got tipped from "ok" source ) Don't spend medicine, stripper or booze money. Any variants worth picking up or just first prints? The Renew Your Vows has some cheaper, high incentive ratio variants. The market has been migrating towards cover A's for awhile. The ONLY books I'm specing on personally regarding this rumor: Amazing Spider-Man #15 Civil War #3 poly bagged Quesada variant Amazing #529 The rest is fluff..

  15. Sometimes the best spec is the top of the foodchain. Guess others have been listening to the same little birdies... Smoke, meet fire. http://www.bleedingcool.com/2016/06/10/mindless-speculation-over-who-will-fall-in-civil-war-ii-3/
  16. Don't cry, "Divdad" It's just a spec... you're no better at it than me. Anyway... ( I'm actually in the back stock business. Business is good )
  17. Amazing Spider-Man renew your vows #1 Amazing Spider-Man renew your vows #5 Amazing Spider-Man #529 Amazing Spider-Man #42 Pre-Order Amazing Spider-Man #15 now... Pre-Order Civil War #3 now... A little sumpthin. sumpthin might be coming.
  18. Just Awesome. I chat with shops all over the world. It's the same everywhere. Exciting.
  19. Larry's one of the hardest working guys in the business. He knows comics! He's an innovator and knows how to run a successful shop....whether it's his brick & mortar..online..or hittin' the road doing shows. He's a great guy to talk to and he looks out for other dealers. That's how you survive 25+ years. It's hard to please every person in this hobby,and chatboards like these have always got plenty of guys that just want to hate on people that are movers and shakers. If you are one of his customers or a dealer that has dealt with him you'd understand the guy would go out of his way in a heartbeat to help you out. Now,if I find out he has a sugar mama...I hope she has a sugar sista! Man! You're sweet.. Thanks Joey
  20. And this has been happening for decades... It's not a new development. It's how business has been conducted in the direct market. Forever. Not all-of-a-sudden The sky isn't falling. The sky is the same.
  21. I'm on vacation too. Not stepping in a comic shop while I'm here. I have been reading a lot of stuff. I will say this. I visited the same lcs for over 15 years, though not exclusively, and quit going over limits. I literally spent over $500 a month on a bad month, and $1000+ most months until the day he limited my purchase. Haven't been back since. I'm sure he is doing fine with current market conditions but I was buying the same when he was barely keeping his doors open. I think when all of the johnny come latelys head to the NBT and comics aren't in tge sane demand, he will regret losing a lot of regular customers to Midtown, MCS, and TFAW. Which is still extremely down from the early 90's, which was the point. But it's nice to hear that accounts are growing, though..... Larry, do you believe there's still room for much more growth? With digital comics, online discounted new comic sales, most areas having at least one big store.... can it grow more? I hope so. Diamond's minimums are as low as they've ever been, which is good.... it certainly helped a smaller shop like mine get started and grow over the year and a half I've been open. And the Publisher's have slowly eased their policies on things... DC's return policy on Rebirth, I think could be the start of something interesting for the Big Two.... With digital comics, online discounted new comic sales, most areas having at least one big store.... can it grow more? And the 90's were down from the 40's *shrug* Most fans want to visit a LCS for the spectacle, community & service, the skinflint here are the minority & ultimately they will nit pick online discounters out of business. ( All my books were not 9.8 refund me, wahhhh ) Digital has been monstrous for my shop. Huge. Free advertising. More eyes on comics are a good thing. Example: New guy in shop yesterday was a lapsed fan from the 80's... His wife bought him Marvel sub for his I-Pud Spent $700 on books he wanted to own after perusing online. We gave him concierge level service too, a kid walked him through everything he needed to know. He is an art director & was blown away by shops drink & draw that was underway & is supposed to attend next week. Digital rules! It's the spinner rack du jour. This is the future I dreamt of as a kid. Comic book tv shows, comic book movies, Comics accepted by mainstream public. I love this business.... Fans consider comics art / comfort. They want to possess them. Tiny tactile treasures. Big future. BIG.
