HEAT Viper Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Thanks guys! Here's a bit more . . . I couldn't meet Larry Hama without getting some sketches . . . (sorry for the glare). First up, from 2010, Snake Eyes: And then, from last year, Storm Shadow in his Joe garb: I also have a quite a few raw books signed by Larry--#1, #26, Yearbook #3 and so on--nothing that hasn't been seen before. Then there's this, which I'm thinking may be a bit more unique: Also had a great little chat with him about it as he flipped through it--it's the same edition (albeit his is older, he commented) that he used/uses. I thought it was very cool of him to sign it. It's been said before, but it's always worth getting something signed by Larry and hearing one his stories.

Junkdrawer Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Plucked a G. I. Joe Special #1 from a large collection I have been going through. The book has a serious shot at 9.9 and I am sending it express tomorrow. It's a 9.8 all day long, but I need to roll the dice. I can't wait 5 months on this. Anyone dare to throw out a figure on what a 9.9 could be worth today, considering that there aren't any yet to exist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maloney414 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Hi, guys. Why is GI Joe vol. 1 #126 in the $10 market? Is it a key issue for Firefly? Yes. It's the issue they officially connect him to the Snake-Eyes/Storm Shadow origin. Firefly was a member of their ninja clan and was originally suppose to kill Snake-Eyes for Cobra Commander. It's revealed that Firefly is the "Faceless Master" who had been referenced before in the series. (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that, I just bought this from a fellow collector for 250php so that's around $6-$7. I'll get a scan of it when I get it.I'll probably jump into the G.I. Joe band wagon. Weee. It's a newstand copy, so it does exist. Edited November 6, 2012 by ygerg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zekebarrett Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Most of the 2nd printings will have a different price. Earlier issues that were 60 cents will have the 75 cents price. On later issues, I know on the direct editions, the 1st print has the "M" with the price/issue number while the later printings have the standard box.

zekebarrett Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 And you can always ask the seller to open it and send you a scan/picture. It will be stamped Second Printing or Third Printing. I had a seller send me a pic of an issue and I got a first printing for a steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theskunk33-migration Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Open the cover to the first page, and look on the bottom near the "fine print". If a second or third print, it will be clearly stamped under this area, usually in a different font/size. In my experience it's pretty obvious to see.
