Now that's impressive. I hope the one I sent in comes back that nice, but it will be a blue label!

Thats a great book!!! Congrats!! +1 -Ryan How do you guys typically get an X-Men #1 graded? Walkthru? On-site? Can't imagine any other way is acceptable is it?

I'm not even going to read anything in here.... I'm just going to laugh. and then cry

Interesting....I may have to send my copy out for a press and grading.

I didn't send mine in time did you?

Ouch. Wasn't me!

Wow. Any chance you got two?

I love that you are doing an SS Dave Stevens set. If we can't have Dave, it's the next best thing.

28 or more SS books including Frank Miller and some other big names up for grabs.... http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=6375855#Post6375855

that really is a gorgeous cover!

That's ok, I stopped reading after the "death to the puppets"

I think that's just where he molted. Ew.

She a dirty girl.

It wasn't me that asked, but after I attain a 9.8 of a book and maybe a reader copy I quit looking for it. Too many other books out there I want!

He is difficult at best. He rarely appears and signing times are generally very limited. I have a Hawkman 4 that only his signature could save. If you hear of something for him please pass it along!

Yeah, but that's a magazine submission isn't it? ::

That took me a second.

Shipping from Canada will take care of that. Should be a 6.5 when it gets to you.

Guess I should list that as closed. Nope. Picked them up and sent an autographed set to my Cousin as a thank you / Christmas present.

I know I've said this before, but I would pass on high grade if it was something rare. Not just to collectors, but others as well. I would take my early fanzines over a 9.8/9.9 Space Vixens any day. Are you saying you would rather go for rare than high grade? If so, I will agree with that. That's why I went on such a hunt for that Back Issues I have. It won't be the only copy for long. In fact, I know of at least two more out being graded now, but it will always be the first one graded! I don't want my obsession to branch out to fanzines just yet so I'm trying to be good about that ::

Not always true. If I pick up a very presentable 9.4, I'm okay with that. But the high-grade examples are nice. I didn't say there weren't exceptions to the rule, and even I have a couple of books that are not 9.8 that I won't get rid of until I do have an upgrade and if that upgrade never happens I'll still enjoy my DNAgents 9.4.

You would think that wouldn't you. These days it seems like none of the Stevens collectors (mainly us) will go for anything less than 9.8 (I'm the worst) so I don't even go for copies less than 9.8 (unless they are a bargain) because if I ever do get a 9.8 I have a hard time getting rid of the under copy. You know it's true.

Oh, that hurts.

Oh, and meant to say that I went to the Charlotte mini-con this last Sunday and Dave books are popular enough that there was actually a DNAgents raw on somebody's wall. You can count on that one moving it's way out of the dollar boxes....::
