Overdue

Was there a thread that caused this or is this just from old stuff?

 

What was the topic?

 

it was the new personal announcement sub-forum thread that was poofed

 

i'm guessing this was the other side of the argument

No, unless its a friend.

If not a friend/person you have done deals with a lot in the past, then take 50% off

I am considering a collection buy and am waaaaaay too impulsive about these things. He has a short box full of Superman 400s and all I can think of the last week or so is trying to run to NYCC and get 10 or so signed by Walt Simonson and Bill Sienkiewicz, maybe even do a sales order with raw/slab options (although not as smoothly as BeachBum runs them, that is for sure). So keep your eye out for that on Saturday or Sunday!

 

I am pretty sure we will reach a deal and I will buy these Friday or Sat, Knowing myself as I do, I will then start treating them like Elaine Benes treats her contraceptive sponges. I think it has potential for some good signatures but have to go check GPA I guess to see. They have to be 9.4s at least I would think.

 

I put this here in discussion as I was hoping for advice BEFORE I do a thread and flameout...am I blinded by potential or is this an okay endeavor?

I would question whether that book has the type of mass appeal that something like that would need.

I know. I wonder as well. Ebay has it at 50 cents to $12 an issue, all recently. It isn't then end of the world should it not work out, and I will trying to look at the print run numbers. At the minimum I think I may sub one book SS on Sunday and see what it comes back as. I can play the long (TAT) game.

Are these any kind of a key or are they just random Superman issues in the 400s?

 

There are a lot of random issues signed and graded out there that beg to question why anyone would get those signed and graded. Other than completionists, which will be few and far between, there may not be a market for randomness signed and graded.

No, it is all the same issue, Superman issue 400. A short box full that are most likely untouched since put there.

 

 

I am thinking of getting 5-10 signed this weekend.

Nice cover…I could see getting a few of these signed then.

Yeah, it is enticing.

 

Honestly, if I pay a few bucks in the end I am going into it as buying a lot of fun for a while. If no one buys the box of Brigade (the guy seems to have loved Brigade) it becomes press experimentation fodder!

I like the book as a jam choice. My copy includes Jerry Robinson and Moebius.

Sweet! Yeah, a few sigs is the way to go but Sienkiewicz cancelled so only Simonson at this show I think. But there are always more shows.

I noticed that his AF15 sales thread used the same photos as a June eBay listing.

 

Not that this means anything at all...could be a completely innocent transaction...but...just sayin'.

So multiple sales threads running in the same forum at once. How much of an issue is this? Happening now.

[ChiSoxFan]

And the response to this friendly suggestion:

 

Great books, but please be courteous to others, and consolidate your sales threads! (thumbs u

 

Was this gem:

 

Thank you but no I wont,..

 

 

I was considering buying that #400, but simply based on that reply, I won't now.

You’re absolutely right Randall… I posted a humorous reply so he knows what happens.
