what I like about the this year's guide is that some folks actually changed their ads...."new eye candy" (same "we buy collections", but none the less)

 

Are you criticizing me for not changing my ads? :sumo:

 

(:

I didn't read it as criticism. (I didn't change my ad either!)

Besides, why would anyone want to criticize you, Mark?

When does the new guide officially come out? (shrug)

 

April 8th is the official release date (bookstores, amazon.com, etc.). Inside my copy, which I got from my LCS today, it says May 2008. :think:

It appears that the census didn't make it in. This is very distressing since it lists - for the first time ever in one place - every known ashcan and the number of copies known to exist. It wraps everything up nicely and puts an exclamation point on the rarity of these comics.

 

If only there were a place where such information could be made available to large and interested audience without having to be published in a book. :sorry:

 

lol

 

Mark and I have already decided we're going to post it here for everyone. Should be in the next few days.

 

 

:banana:

 

:banana: :banana:

 

 

By the way, great ashcan article. It was the first thing I read after the GA rankings and percentage increases. Whiz #1 is still in the top 10, albeit barely.

I don't Rich, why are people ? It just happens I guess.

BTW, I didn't read it as a criticism either. Hence the (: (which according to the CGC translation is "he he", i.e., giggles).

 

Guess Rich wasn't awake enough to notice it was called SARCASM. :makepoint:

 

I know this is the GA section but not everything written in ink here should be read literally.

Great stuff!

I wasn't planning on buying the useless guide, but I guess now I'll have to. Can't wait to read the article. (thumbs u

Flash Gordon #5 30-40 copies

 

Are there really this many copies of Flash Gordon 5? If so, then they all must be locked up in collections - I've never even seen a scan of one. This is the B&W small-size issue that was sent only to subscribers. If anyone knows where one is please let me know.

just check your guide and make sure it is not missing 40 pages like all our copies :(

 

:o

 

Wait, maybe it's a rare variant! hm

well then, we have a bunch of them!...I didn't notice, but one of my customers did, so we checked them all, sure enough, all missing pages 513-544 :frustrated:
