the authority Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 ***NICK DRAGOTTA COMMISSION ANNOUNCEMENT*** Nick will be taking a VERY limited number of commission requests for NYCC. This will be for 11X17 commissions. You do not have to attend the show to be on the list. Nick has generally stayed away from full-on commissions in the past, choosing instead to sketch for free at signings as well as doing simple sketches at cons. This is a rare opportunity. Please PM me if interested. Thanks! Does this mean he will not be sketching at the show? I expect he will be sketching at the show, but as always, it will depend on his schedule. And if he does sketch, they'll be his smaller con sketches (typically 9X12) and not the larger, more detailed commission he's offering here. Thank you again! Animated Spawn was awesome on HBO btw! Also... It appears midtown found a box of #1 first prints. No limit it seems, but they bumped the price to six bucks. +1 on the HBO Spawn I think Midtown bought a quarter of the run on this book. I'm not kidding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hulk44 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 East of West will definitely pass SAGA, and eventually Catch Walking Dead, IMO..... I hope it will, but it just won't happen even with a movie. Ok, TV Series .. Still won't happen We shall see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThoseBackPages Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 i'd like a RRP, but i cant bring myself to pay for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the authority Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 i'd like a RRP, but i cant bring myself to pay for it Yep. Pretty expensive. I've heard there are only around 300 of them but don't now how they were distributed. Any ideas ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2k1civicexcoupe Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I believe they were supposed to be at c2e2 2013 but they weren't ready. I believe they were then shipped to the retailers(how they chose who i don't really know). That was the last i heard but i could be way off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emezy360 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 They were offered at the diamond retailer summit and from what I was told one per store only for those who attended the summit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicsnyc22 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 500 print run max, and by the looks of it, if you haven't gotten one now, you're going to be paying a premium for it... There's a blue label in the modern sales thread that just went $500+ The grading on these is really odd, too due to the inking/rubbing on some, but not others. I really don't see these having the same 9.8 #'s as the Saga C2e2 variant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emezy360 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 yup herd a print run of 300 on it yeah I saw that blue label sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meta4 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 How is cgc grading the ink rubbing/smudges? I have 3 rrp's all of whick have very light grey ink smudging on the back covers (like pencil grey). Are they considering this a printing defect and grading on condition alone? Or are they grading down for the ink smudged copy's? Anyone who has a cgc'd east of west 9.8 rrp, does yours show any signs of ink smudging on the back cover?

comicsnyc22 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 i believe they are grading accordingly, as it is not a print defect I don't know, man. I've seen three 9.6's with the rubbing that were otherwise perfect. And there are 9.8's that don't have the rubbing on them. Not a lot, but it definitely seemed like there were some out of the batch that came out looking good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty sure they are hitting them for the ink smudges or scuffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meta4 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I just looked at a few graded 9.8's on ebay, which both had light ink rubbing just by the top staple, so its looking like eyre allowing at least that. I'd imagine as the rubbing gets more extensive, that it effects grade directly. All my copies have very light rubbing, so lets hope cgc's feeling lenient that day.

Then RRPs without the ink rubs should bring a premium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lolocopter Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Luckily I got my RRP for $175 and it had no ink blotches or rubbing by the staple. Lucked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
