generic user Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I have come to notice that many of you are commenting on the particular book being shown, as though you had already seen 27 copies of it before and are only observant of the condition of the book before you, but without regard for the artists work. So many of these books are new to me. I see the grade yea, but am usually commenting on the artists cover work, and how good it looks being in nice new like condition. Is this an example of moneys power over people ? 9.6 is better than 9.2 which is better than 8.5 which is better than 8.0 because it represents "more valuable" ? Just sayin.... or maybe askin Yes and no. The reason they're more valuable is because more people want them (per available copy) than their 2.0 brethren. Even a grade-unconscious collector like me does a jaw-drop when I see a 9.2 Blue Beetle #21. It doesn't mean I don't appreciate a reader copy of the same book, though!

esquirecomics Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Picked these two rarities up at the NY Comic-Con this weekend: ] what's the story w/ the green tape/paper? bound volume? staple reinforcement? Unknown. It is present on both of them and on both sides of the book. At one point the tape, for whatever reason, covered both sides. These copies came from Crowley's files so that might have some relevance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straw-Man Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 What a cute little boy! (thumbs u looks like a cute little tiger fan to me. You know it! Every morning the first thing he asks me is "Dad, is it Tiger Day?" and if I tell him no he asks "Then is it Saints Day?" and if I tell him no he says "Awwww!" Western Kentucky will be his first game in Tiger Stadium, although the thought of him staying in one general location for three hours is comical. how did this young man like the 1st bcs release?

generic user Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 how did this young man like the 1st bcs release? high-fives all around! I bought him a little Mike the Tiger stuffed animal that he carries around with him everywhere. He and Mike even practice the "Geaux...Tigers" chant together. but I lost him on the Saints yesterday when I explained that a "buccaneer" was a pirate: JC: "Dad, I just saw a pirate ship!" Me: "Yeah, son, buccaneer is another word for pirate" JC: "Oohh, then I want the pirates to win" Me: "Honey, can you take him to the other room?"

esquirecomics Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Ok, you guys thought the Masters Comics were cool and rare, check these out! My UNBELIEVABLE appreciation to Dave Reynolds of Dave's American Comics who bought them at an OO estate sale and sold them to me notwithstanding numerous other inquiries and higher offers!
