TheDanimal Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Awesome copies!!! In January or so I'll officially free up cash in hand for a 8.0 or better...might just have to pony up for 9.0. This is the most meaningful book I could ever own. Before the internet I never really saw too many copies because I was just a kid in the mid ninties and didn't really attend comic shows..so I always just so it listed in Overstreet. I want one bad though! Going to be a huge day for me when I score one!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocGo Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 Fourteen months ago, CGC'd Bone books were selling at an all-time high. Now they're selling at an all-time low. Any thoughts out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberjad Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Fourteen months ago, CGC'd Bone books were selling at an all-time high. Now they're selling at an all-time low. Any thoughts out there? Buzz of the movie coming out probably just wore off plus everyone started feeling the effects of this economy. Dont worry the movie will come out and the prices will go back up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mschmidt Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 There has been Bone movie rumors swirling around almost as long as rumors of a Sandman movie - I think it's much more a matter of there only being a couple of collectors out there who have any interest in slabbed Bone above issue #7 or so ...

DocGo Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 There has been Bone movie rumors swirling around almost as long as rumors of a Sandman movie - I think it's much more a matter of there only being a couple of collectors out there who have any interest in slabbed Bone above issue #7 or so ... I can count four who will bid above a certain level for double digit Bone issues. There are several who try to win for $25 or less. The Bone movie is at least three years away (only scripting at this point) and there have always been rumors & announcements so I don't think this has much to do with anything. The economy coming down hard on 20 and 30 somethings is the more likely reason. Plus, I have most of these books in raw 9.8 so my bids have been absent. The #55 SS hurt me though.

DocGo Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 Below are the latest additions to my collection. Big thanks go out to GOTHAMCENTRAL as well as Joel Elad for helping me get these books signed over the summer. I've finally cleared the 50% completion hurdle too. It will be long and enjoyable journey towards 75%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocGo Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 Bone #39 is a classically tough all-black cover with a large blank space that's perfect for a small sketch. The design of the Great Red Dragon doesn't lend itself to a quick and sharp sketch but I think Jeff did pretty well. He threw in a Ted for good measure too.

DocGo Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 #46 is the other series book that is perfect for a sketch. Carlos also got a Steve Hamaker signature as well (he was the colorist for most of the covers as well as the color TPBs). This and the #39 were both signed at this year's Heroes Con.

DocGo Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 Don't know if many of you have read this mini-series which came out during the year long hiatus between #37 & #38. I've always liked the main character but have been annoyed by the rest of them. Sketch of Big Johnson Bone isn't great. I'm guessing he probably doesn't get this request all that much and the pen was a little too thick. Still like the book and signature though and it's a nice upgrade from my 9.6 SS.

DocGo Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 The other mini-series produced between #37 & #38. Beautifully painted by Charles Vess whose sig I hope to add some day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocGo Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 This was the free book given out when Bone switched from Cartoon Books to Image Comics. It was meant to summarize the first twenty issues before Image's version of #21 was printed. Jeff signed this with a Fone head sketch at the Baltimore Diamond Retailers Summit a couple months ago.

DocGo Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 The Wizard Ace Edition is a mail-away reprint of #1 produced by Wizard Magazine (the pages in this thing are great). Jeff kindly added a Smiley head sketch to his signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyberjad Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Looking at the census again there are now 2 9.8 bone #1s (that seemed to change after like a day) and one qualified 9.8. Would not mind getting my hands on that qualified book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
