Vikingreed Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Kingpin, haha. Awesome. I still have never seen a Kickstarter or Ashcan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZaCrew Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I still want the Ashcan and the Kickstarter Aren't they the same thing? I thought it was just the NYCC and the SDCC ashcans... You're correct. Which is good news, only means there is one single issue I don't have. Looked in my messages with Frank and he believes they only printed 60. Still more than the SDCC Sketch Set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still more than the SDCC Sketch Set I've seen one ashcan; I think someone posted a pic on this thread a while back... I'd love to get one, but have yet to see one for sale. If I recall correctly, Frank did say he'd found the invoice and 60 were printed, of which he kept zero copies for himself. So yup, that makes the SDCC set the scarcer. By the way, your collection of them is insanely awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're correct. Which is good news, only means there is one single issue I don't have. Looked in my messages with Frank and he believes they only printed 60. Still more than the SDCC Sketch Set The difference is that the SDCC was sought after actively and folks preserved those copies. I betcha dimes to donuts that the "kickstarter" ashcan and the ashcan proper were beaten like red-headed stepchildren and lost in space. There are going to be far fewer in acceptable condition as a result. Even the two I possess have seen better days. Been reluctant to get them pressed because of the special inks and paper used. Gonna have to find someone that has mad skills in that department before I get them slabbed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZaCrew Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=preview&id=18437 Funny how they say "NOW AN ONGOING SERIES" like it's breaking news. But ya know, I bet when it appears on the shelves people will be surprised to see it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZaCrew Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 (edited) I didn't say just throw them in there loose... *rolls eyes* The first SS set I bought from a noted CGC boardie came that way, he had them well packed and they got here safe and sound. *Shrugs.

Fair enough. Noted boardie is a key part of that equation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The medium priority flat rate box isn't tall enough - you can fit the slabs in there, but you won't be able to protect the top & bottom of them properly. There's no substitute for the 1092 + 1095 combo when it comes to shipping slabs safely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
