Mini Undersized DVD Insert Comics
KolmarAvenue replied to KolmarAvenue's topic in Modern Age Comic Books
Thanks! I've always been interested in obscure and off the wall comics. I'll keep my eyes out for Battlestar. There's quite a few that are International and were never distributed in the states. The Battlestar Galactica may be one of those. Off the top of my head besides the Hellboy Die Hex Troll there's Inception, Green Hornet, Star Trek, 30 Days of Night and several more from the UK, Germany, Australia, etc... Since the shipping runs so high I've held off on these since they'd be at least $30 delivered! -

I have more dvd's than the average bear lolz. Another pic of the spidey 3 walmart exclusive for scale. Undertaker by BOOM! The Serenity box set from Best Buy is fantastic. It's a georgeous window foldout-very distinct and glad to have added it to my collection. -
Mini Undersized DVD Insert Comics
KolmarAvenue replied to KolmarAvenue's topic in Modern Age Comic Books
Yes, it was inside a box set and is too big to fit. I think I'll restrict them to having to fit inside the smaller bag/board that the rest are in. That does allow the mini hardcovers from DC to be included-which I'm onboard with. See the Batman Caped Crusaders DVD / mini HC above. I wasn't able to find clear images of Flesh for the Beast and took a chance on it and paid for the lesson. Same as the DC coloring book which is a full sized coloring book so it got kicked out of the collection. This latest arrival are teeny comics. Spiderman 3 Walmart Exclusive: Now with Best Buy announcing the end of physical media, this niche collection won't be having many new additions going forward. -

Mini Undersized DVD Insert Comics
KolmarAvenue replied to KolmarAvenue's topic in Modern Age Comic Books
Thanks for the info! I'm avoiding game comics or at least not actively chasing them. If they pop up at an lcs or con then i may grab them, but the number of dvd comics out there i need is still enough to keep me busy for a while! Here's some new acquisitions including a great Hellboy book from Germany. Hellboy is a property that is at the forefront / lead of dvds with comics (at least 6 distinct mini comics). One note is that the Flesh for the Beast "comic" is more manga than comic-it's thick. I don't know if I'd qualify it as belonging in this collection. -

Some new to the library- I believe 30 Days of Night was UK only but not 100% on that. I ended up settling on a USA based seller for the book only as I didn't want to pay $20+ for shipping across the pond. Also, finally matched up where the Hulk 91 originated from! There's a good number of books where people say it came from a DVD but not ever say which dvd it came from. 2 Guns was completely new to me. This collection is getting out of control... -
Books you just cant find in the Wild
KolmarAvenue replied to fastballspecial's topic in Modern Age Comic Books
This one's tough! The Hellboy Comic Buyers Guide Supplement Insert from 94. It's 4 "pages" which is 1 wrap so it's light as a feather. -
Books you just cant find in the Wild
KolmarAvenue replied to fastballspecial's topic in Modern Age Comic Books
Nothing but crickets! This is the 4th copy I've found and I've found them all within shouting distance of Chicagoland. I think there may have been a special signing maybe at Graham Crackers Comics (the local Chicago chain of comic shops) or something way back in the day. The other idea I've heard is that this was a test run as Marvel was switching to direct editions. It's been over a decade now that this "logo variant" was unearthed and still no one has a clue where it came from or why it exists! Gotta love this hobby- -

No, not going after 9.8s at all- I don't have anything above a 9.2 slabbed. When i say hidden, I mean it's not listed correctly or they don't realize it's a variant. So they price it low or on par with the reg price version. Also when there's a lot and they don't note that there's a pv in there.
-
I'm halfway there- so it'll be some time!!! I'm trying to front load and acquire the tougher books and so a lot of what I'm missing is fairly common waiting for auctions or in the wild finds to get them a bit more economically.
-
Agreed for the most part, plus the fact that I'm trying to complete a nearly 200 item count registry set (30 centers, I'm settling for a combo of raw and slabbed) and I'm *trying* to keep the cost down! And some pieces are rare enough that an ugly sig or sig placement would ruin the book for me. 9.8 with a disgustingly awful one of those? no thanks. Plus, us boardies can be both extremely cheap and extremely spendy depending. Sigs give higher grade points so those looking to be a top set almost have to have some sig series in there to be competitive. That drives the price up or at least justifies a buyer spending more than they would on a blue label.

I have 1 sig series book and I bought it that way. Sgt. Fury 134 CGC SS 8.5, which, is, ironically, also signed by Roy Thomas. I don't actively look to get SS copies and I think some books shouldn't be signed but that's just me.
