This is correct. Foxing tops out at 9.6 and "stain" tops out at 9.8. I conflated staining and foxing in my original post.

I was just thinking about this topic while eating my breakfast earlier. A dealer at the end of the day should provide deals to customers to make sales. Who doesn't want a sale? The most important thing in business is relationships and people will become longtime shoppers from you because they like you. If they don't they will avoid being a customer. The more you give the more you get. I don't mind discounting a little in person to make a sale that takes more effort online. Just an alternative spin that hasn't been discussed.

A competent presser should be able to press almost any type of paper materials.

Whoa…

Only buy from trusted authorized dealers

Well as it turns out, today was the day! Shipped vintage. To summarize: 2 Books Vintage SFG: 3/1 GEI: 4/9 G/QC: 4/24 Shipped: 4/24 Approx 38 Business Day turnaround for 2 books in vintage.

@Dr. Balls I don’t think anyone disputes that the driving force is that Jim penciled it. Throw in that it is an early Image piece and it becomes more desirable. However, Chance Wolf didn’t ink it and it sold for $396.00+- in 2023 at HA.com. Maybe it sold under the radar in that auction, 2 people really want an “earlyish” Shadowhawk piece at this point in time, or something else is going on.

Here are scans of four more of my Adventures of the Jaguar: 2 3 4 5

They are definitely better for the most part than the cover art on the Black Lizards from the first revival in the '80's, although I will always be grateful for their efforts. I still read Black Lizards today, although I always prefer reading an original vintage paperback.

I've actually experienced faster than normal times with registered and heavily insured packages. Almost as if the USPS wanted it out of their hands as quick as possible to avoid any issues. Goes both ways sometimes!

The RE-CAP is now on the FIRST PAGE, in the 2nd Post!

The last signing that I know of was several years ago at San Diego Comic Con, I think around 2017/2018. I have reached out to a few different signature facilitators the last few years to see if they knew of anything coming up and it has been crickets. There was a Klaus kickstarter about a year ago from Boom where they offered a limited edition SS Klaus 1 signed by Morrison/Mora but I believe they were mailing the books directly to/from them and CGC. Surprised an in house signed hasn’t popped up, especially since there was a Gaiman signing not long ago and prior there was about zero chance of getting new Gaiman SS books. I have a pretty decent Morrison SS collection and have books I’d like signed as well and am always in the market for books I’m missing.

I enjoyed the series as a whole. I was glued to watching each episode. However, I was expecting and more dramatic ending. Not sure if I would watch a second season. Since most of the show was subtitled, it made me wonder if they limited the audience, excluding younger generations that can't stop looking at their phones for 5 minutes at a time.

I’m here for you, brother.

I got my X-Men #12 CGC 8.5 in today - smoking book! Thanks Corvonie!

This.

This aligns to my thoughts also. Keep the Yellow as is, for witnessed signatures via the current process and not COAs, etc. Come up with a "Verified" color to not dilute the Signature Series brand. And then I can resubmit my "green" labels for verified signature

check sales of other books that you can find in 10 grade that have sold and compare the increase to that of the same book in 9.8. Don't go just on that though. You have to factor in how hot the book is, how hard it is to get a 10 in that particular book (which you can look in the census and see how many there are), and other things like if it is a first appearance, will it be turned into a movie, etc.

But can you not see how that's precisely what I don't want? Every Tom, Dick and Harry would be trying to put his own unique stamp on Batman to differentiate his effort from that of everybody else and it would result in a nightmare! Granted DC itself has done only a passable job in preserving the integrity of characters such as Batman and Superman but at least they try (sort of). Remember when Jack Kirby couldn't draw Superman right so they had Murphy Anderson redraw his face?

I know. I like this movie better than the first. My fav character is the lady with the heat blades. Wish we had a chance to delve deeper into her backstory.

last copy Thanks!
