darkstar Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 So i am looking at the new CGC census, it seems there are only 26 total graded ECCC books graded. There 7 non SS, compared to 19 SS books, not that many from a 210 print run. Any thoughts? My only thought is who has the slabbed unsigned unnumbered 9.9?

Mr Wiggles Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Gush away. I've been gushing since it hit the stands day 1. I'm afraid I've made a mess of my entire room..... You and me both. Completely shameless plug of some of my reviews: http://wearecomicreviewers.com/category/image/five-ghosts-the-haunting-of-fabian-gray/ Been trying to track down where/how to purchase Chris' work since but I'm a bit naive of the art buying experience. This thread has been a mountain of information (thanks!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accessndx Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Been trying to track down where/how to purchase Chris' work since but I'm a bit naive of the art buying experience. This thread has been a mountain of information (thanks!). The where and how are easy: contact Chris Mooneyham. He's on all the major social media outlets. If you can't find him directly google Frank Barbiere, find his blog @ atlastincognita...and look on the sidebar for people and things of interest. Chris has a link amongst others there. I'm not sure Chris has an acct. here at the CGC forums yet, but as per a prior discussion with him: he's trying to track down someone who previously purchased OA from five ghosts so he can potentially get a digital archival copy back. I'm going to do the same for him as well having purchased a few he didn't copy. He's going to try to get in touch with that boardie via PM here, hence he'll probably stop by this thread sooner or later (fingers crossed) and reach out to that member. I told him how insane the party gets when creators, artists, writers, etc. join in the threads....always very cool to have that kind of thing going on. If we're lucky he'll drop in some art (pretty please). No guarantees if or when that's going to happen, apparently he's got a killer schedule to maintain. It's a surprise Frank can even get in here because he's got an equivalently crazy schedule. As far as WHEN Chris is going to open the floodgates again to purchase OA...that's up in the air. He doesn't want to sell anything that he doesn't have a copy of...and that's perfectly understandable. I'd not want to lose something that I worked so hard to develop. So I guess the moral to the story here is be patient, and OA will be available sometime in the hopefully not to distant future once more. In the interim, I'll continue to salivate like a rabid animal for the next installment of ghosts. That's something I never enjoyed about television shows, serials....comics or books...practically any media: the wait for the next one. It's just too cliff-hangery for me. I like when I've got a stack of stuff to read....so it's always great when someone turns me onto something late in the game. I remember watching LOST pretty much towards the end of that show. There were numerous seasons I hadn't seen.....so I had tons to watch and catch up on. I never felt the week to week or season to season jones. Five ghosts is killing me with anticipation, but unless I freeze myself cryogenically I'm stuck waiting with the rest of y'all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comicsnyc22 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 So.. I know nothing about this book, but should probably feel stupid about passing the stack of ECCC variants by during the con, huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

accessndx Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 So.. I know nothing about this book, but should probably feel stupid about passing the stack of ECCC variants by during the con, huh? It certainly was a missed opportunity. Can you ask Chris the "who/what/where/when/why" on FG Original Art? I'm sure all of us would love to know Earlier in the thread Frank mentioned the why and when: why FG OA isn't available is simple: Chris is archiving everything before he sells it. That takes a bit of time. When: whenever he finishes that up he'll be selling again. Where: typically at signings, cons and by private arrangement directly from Chris. Who: Chris Mooneyham himself. What: What? How: In small unmarked bills only with a blood sacrifice to the Spider-gods. With: your hands and wallet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machiavelli Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Thanks for posting accessndx! I actually won one of those 9.8s. I think I have around 10-15 copies of #1 first and only one of them might be a 9.8. I wonder if CGC is grading this one on a curve due to the printer defects.

accessndx Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 What: What?. lol What? There was much internal :: on that point as well. I wonder if CGC is grading this one on a curve due to the printer defects. Seen more than a few 9.6s floating around......I'd attribute that to the said defects. Alot of them break color, and the printing defects seemed to be ubiquitous....so you've gotta find a perfect storm of minimal defect without cb and then press to get a 9.8. I'm sure there are a lucky few natural 9.8s but the real question is where are the 9.9s and the always elusive 10.0s. They'll be tougher to find than Bigfoot.

darkstar Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 there are far more 9.8s on the census than 9.6s. No 9.9s except for a single eccc variant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
