To celebrate the 100th Issue of Transfomers, IDW printed a special incentive blank cover variant which were all supposed to be sketched on by the late Herb Trimpe and then distributed to retailers who ordered X number of copies.

Unfortunately Herb never got around to sketching on these. Which makes these some of the rarest blanks on the market. A must have for a transformer completest.

Below you will see a scan of the front and back covers as well as the inside front cover which shows all the different editions.

These have some scuffing which would make them less than 9.6. Charles Costas, who is currently in possession of these, will pick out the best copies for those purchasing them through here.

These books are being sold with ALL PROCEEDS going to Herb's widow Patricia Trimpe.

Price per book is $30 plus $6 shipping.

If you are interested in purchasing a copy or copies please send payment to trimpdog@hotmail.com which was Herb's paypal address.

Once payment is sent please then contact Charles Costas at comiconxion@hotmail.com,

He will follow-up with Patricia to make sure payment is received and work with you to arrange shipping.

Feel free to PM comiconxion or me here on the boards if you have any questions.

Avengers Annual #10

My pleasure!!!

Laughing M4N,I am happy to hear that everything got resolved for you. I want to mention that I have been apart of 3 separate Sketch opps that Mike Jeter has offered and each of them went smoothly with great communication by Mike.

As someone who has run no less then 30 opps for over 7 years (link to my first sketch opp in 2009 with Mike Zeck can be found here, http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Main=169073&Number=3397612#Post3397612),

I would like to reflect on a few things you mentioned in your post:

I've no ill feelings towards Mike, I know challenges outside of the boards can drastically affect things and I hope things look up for him.

Yes there are MANY things we as facilitators cannot predict when running opps, this includes (but is not limited to) artists who face unexpected work or personal commitments. In some rare cases artists have been know to go RADIO SILENT; stop answering emails, texts, phone calls etc. In situations we as facilitators can only do so much in order to get sketches completed. Some methods that have been implemented to reduce this from happening include holding money in escrow until the pieces are completed. Unfortunately this doesnt work with all as some artists sill require payment upfront.

It was my first participation in a sketch op on these boards and an unfortunate one. I've had one sketch arranged and completed at a convention via a facilitator which was fantastic and likely to only collect these from the artists themselves as that direct connection adds a lot more to the experience.

Getting sketches in person IS AWESOME!!! However not everyone is able to attend shows. When I started offering opps on the boards it was basically for 3 reasons.

1. I wanted to offer sketch opportunities with artist that were NOT attending shows. If you do a search you will see my first few opps were with artists that had not attended any show for years including Mike Zeck (who now is everywhere) Dave Simons RIP, Al Milgrom, Don Perlin etc.

2. I didnt want to fill up sketch lists with artists at conventions with requests for me and client (hey I am a collector too you know )

3. I wanted to offer higher quality pieces/ie at home commissions

I'm not opposed to sketch ops on the boards, but there needs to be a whole lot more communication from whomever runs them at all times. I don't know if CGC take on board how many of these get completed but I'm all good now and hope anyone else outstanding will be as well soon.

I cannot speak for every facilitator BUT I can tell you all MY opps and all the OPPS that I have been apart of (DarrellF, A-DONIS, Alphatrion1, THECOLLECTOR, DennisRodmanofSS) have ALWAYS had great communication. Yes some take a little longer than expected, but all were completed.

Again, I am happy you got everything resolved with Mike. But please do not allow your experience, in this, your ONE AND ONLY OPP, be reflection of all OPPS and facilitators who ru them here on the boards.

Is John Romita Sr going to any cons this year? I know NYComics has a signing with him (and they're fabulous!), and maybe DWC/Celestial CBCS (they've treated me well in the past but its hard to overlook some of their recent issues), but I'd like to actually *gasp* meet him and get comics signed in person. Any knowledge would be appreciated. Does he usually show up at SDCC? I know he was at Florida Supercon last year but it doesn't look like he's going this year.

 

Thanks.

 

He canceled out of FSC last year and may actually never have agreed to attend. He has snuck into SDCC in the past to sign at the HERO booth but I have no idea otherwise.

From what I was told, he never even agreed to go to the show.

Not true Darrell. He was scheduled but chose to cancel when his son was unable to attend due to family obligations.

Long overdue kudos to Dan / Par2ch for getting me these sketches at Magic City

 

 

Thank you!

 

Those are awesome! Dan is the Man!! (thumbs u

My pleasure

Stupid question, how do you know what your order number is for these?

Bob asks for a donation to sign.

Joel Elad

I had an issue with a creator that was holding books I shipped him back in 2012. Joel found out about this (through the grapevine) and offered to help. Joel drove (3 hours round trip) to meet the creator, repacked my books and shipped them back to me.

The books are now safe and sound back in my possession.

Joel you are THE BEST!!!

This is what the CGC SS board is all about!!!

Dan

He doesn't take come comissions at least that was his stance at a show last december. I habe some great hama sketches on blanks for sale if interested.

I'll be accepting requests for Motorcity FYI

Nice collection

 

...now brace yourself like you were on the bridge of the Enterprise, PM's incoming. Shields will not hold...
