cujobyte Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) Man, I wonder if everyone who backed out will regret it? They won't know any better if they backed out and didn't read it. Whoever said this book raises the bar for all books said it perfectly. It absolutely does. Edited March 28, 2013 by cujobyte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden Caulfield Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Man, I wonder if everyone who backed out will regret it? They won't know any better if they backed out and didn't read it. Whoever said this book raises the bar for all books said it perfectly. It absolutely does. I wouldn't worry about it too much. The sky is always falling for someone(s) on the boards.

Cobra83 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) I missed out on it today since I had to take care of some business. Any idea if its worth getting the DF 9.8 for my personal collection at $89? Also, I have 7 of the UK variants coming but wasnt sure if I should just sub those...and not get the regular cover. Finally anyone know of a coupon code for DF for possibly free shipping or any deals going on that would work? Thank you in advance if anyone can give opinions and/or help. Edit* I did buy the digital version to read and loved it! Edited March 28, 2013 by Cobra83 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krighton Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 DF is never a good idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra83 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 krighton why so? I have heard they have a horrible wait time, but other than that please do tell...are they infamous for canceling and not being able to come through or something of that nature?

krighton Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 For $90 you could buy a year of cgc membership and get it graded via fast track. With the paper stock they are using 9 8 is a no brainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra83 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I hear you krighton, My comic shops sold out when they were supposed to hold some for me... I hate buying off eBay since everyone and their mom advertises NM/M so maybe I will take a trip a bit farther to look later today and I do hear where you are coming from. Thanks for the heads up.

krighton Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 And df is sooooo slooooooooow with no fast track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra83 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Ok thanks krighton. I will hold off and just look for some later today. I wouldnt mind subbing my Forbidden Planet variants as I like that cover the best personally. I just hope they get here in good enough condition to grade. I got a chance to look at one two days ago at my local mall as the shop owner showed me it bagged and boarded but I didnt take it out or handle it. Is the paper quality matte and almost like SAGA's?

It's the same as Manhattan Projects so not as shiny or smooth as Saga's paper stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katchoo Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 And df is sooooo slooooooooow with no fast track. What's the rush? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjoseph7772 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Because if you buy from DF you might get it before you die, you might not. You never know with them. They are so slow it looks like they are going backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krighton Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) there you go, there's no guarantees i'll still be walking around by the time the DF appears...I've heard a few say they never got their order...or maybe it seemed like never because it was 8 months +. The comic could be canceled by the time you get the slab. In the case of Star Wars Dark Horse #1 i'm pretty sure the comic will probably wrap up before the DF is shipped.

Cobra83 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 ^ I know you guys know what you are talking about and I agree with a lot of what you are saying. I thought it through and what I did was secure my order and will just look for raw copies to submit. If I find them I will cancel, if not then I will be good for the 9.8 on a personal run I want to make of this book. This way I also won't have to buy it for $200 + once DF sells out. I honestly dont care if it comes in 4 months etc, as long as I can get one I will be happy as I seriously am not in a rush to get it. Im probably going to drop everything anyways as far as my pull list and just keep this, Five Ghosts and finish up the Black Beetle and maybe Dark Horse Star Wars. I also have some phantom variants and some regular covers of Five Ghosts signed that I may look to trade for a 9.8 candidate or two of EoW.

krighton Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 careful because i'm not sure DF lets you cancel your order.....depends on who you order from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike's Rack Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 And df is sooooo slooooooooow with no fast track. What's the rush? True, you could buy the $90 book from DF or you could handpick three copies and submit them your self via fast track for roughly the same price. DF does not fast track so based on the posts on turn around times, you should get it in late October. If you don't want to slab your own books, then you can wait about four weeks a buy a copy from the boards, I'm sure they will start out much cheaper.
