DocGo Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 If he was at the CBLDF booth, odds are the money went to them, and they are certainly a worthy cause. I assure you, it all went to them. CBLDF are part owners of Jeff Smith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JollyComics Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Hopefully, he did for the cause once. I understood that he was off guard by few complaints about Sex, Drugs, Alcohol and others in his books to protect their kids. His cause is to defend his Bone as well as others. Hopefully, it was one time for him this year. After #12 issue, each NM/M condition issue is only $6 to $10 worth against $30 signature per copy plus $35 Signature Series Modern Tier per copy. Go figures. No one will buy any issues after #12. Once again, hopefully, he will sign each book for free like old days before the movie is released within few years. See what happens at SDCC in July. To be continued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JollyComics Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Jeff's signature fees are donating to CBLDF. I don't think CBLDF have anything to sell Jeff Smith's books online right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedGiant Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Anyone have a reliable source (maybe interview with Jeff Smith from the early 90s?) for print run of #1? The only thing I could find online was 2-3k, but couldn't find source so who knows how reliable that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocGo Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share Posted June 3, 2013 Direct from Jeff's mouth: it was 3k. Thanks. You asked him directly or read it? Several interviews back in the 90s. The first print was very popular and everyone wanted to know from Jeff himself. "2k" made it's debut on eBay many years back and it continues for obvious reasons.

RedGiant Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Got my first copy of Bone #1 a while back. Why is that book only a 7.0? Looks like a 9.X from here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoinAddict Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 This copy just resurfaced again with a very optimistic BIN of $2000. The seller ended up taking a Best Offer of $1200 for it. I think in this case someone unknowledgeable bought into the buyer's description which is what I think happened when the original buyer purchased it at $895. That seems very high to me but they seem to sell for more and more each time they show up. Link to auction This copy of Thorn sold for $895 by BIN.

Guest Grails Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I put mine up for sale here last week for $800 and it sold in about two hours. I would definitely pay 2k for a high grade copy. I'd take a NM Thorn over a 9.8 Bone #1 any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Grails Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Why would I take Thorn over Bone #1? It's a more desirable book to me. Earlier appearance, lower print run. 1000 copies printed though probably more scarce now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocGo Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 Which would you prefer a 9.8 Bone #1 or a NM Thorn: Tales From The Lantern? You can put me in the 9.8 #1 camp. Four or five years ago, I'd want a HG Thorn no question but this was just before the release of "Before Bone". Once I cracked that book open and started seeing the "best of" strips from Tales of the Lantern, my interest seriously waned. I understand the novelty of the book and it's sorta fun to see the origins of some of the major plot points, but the tone is completely different from the story I grew up with...and not in a good way.
