Lebowski Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I was going through my comics assembling stuff for my board sale (Lebowski's Longbox, check it out! ) and I came across this. Haven't seen it in a while as it was packed up ever since I moved 9 months ago, but it brings back a great memory. I was fifteen years old, attending DragonCon in Atlanta in '96 (back when there was a huge emphasis on comics) and Jeff Smith was there. I honestly had only read a couple of issues of Bone, but really liked the series. I picked up the first trade and decided to wait in line to get it signed. The wait seemed to take forever and was further punctuated by the fact that the guy right in front of me spent ten minutes trying to get Jeff to look through his portfolio. When I finally stepped up, Jeff seemed really sorry that I had to wait so long. He was very nice and talkative and gave me this great little sketch on the inside of my TPB. In fact, it makes it my first piece of OA I've ever gotten from an artist! Ahhh, nostalgia... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhiGam-migration Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 so...i bet those NR Bone #1s on feebay are gonna get at least $500 each, huh guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocGo Posted October 9, 2008 Author Share Posted October 9, 2008 Here's the last of my CGC examples for the first ten. I'll have a couple of #10s in my next submission so I'll soon have a complete set (they're both 9.4s, I think). #8 is in my top five for favorite covers. I would have loved to have seen the OA at that exhibit in Ohio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhiGam-migration Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 so with the 8.5Q going for $387 today on feebay, what should a slabbed 9.2 U go for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocGo Posted October 27, 2008 Author Share Posted October 27, 2008 so with the 8.5Q going for $387 today on feebay, what should a slabbed 9.2 U go for? I don't think the 8.5Q looks all that great and there's a qualified discount in that total of $387. I'd say an 8.5 U would hit closer to $450. A 9.2 U though? Based on what I've just written I'd go with eight to nine hundred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mschmidt Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 If anyone's bidding on the raw Bone #1 1st print that's on ebay, it's, surprise surprise, not NM. Looks like a VF/VF+ from the front cover scan I received (still haven't seen the back). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
