Bidding Ends Tonight!!!

***I am putting up a list of CGC SS series on my Ebay store. *** The link is: Ebay Store Link: djmartini_store The following books are up for sale: If you find something that interests you and you have a specific offer please let me know as soon as possible.

I think the direct edition (spiderman logo), newsstand and the 75 cents Canadian price variant are the only different cover variations.

A listing for those that want to know the rest of the most valuable vinyls ever... Most Valuable Vinyls

This "Final" trailer actually has me a bit more interested than before! The special efforts look 10x better than Justice League and it makes the -script sound a lot better. Might have to see this in theatre now! I don't want to have too high of expectations but hopefully it does good.

Exactly! As the saying goes "any publicity is good publicity". However, my respect of Bill Maher has gone out the window. He will probably lose a lot of fans due to his comment but that's the price he pays. In the long run, nobody will remember Bill Maher, so sad.

Price for the 9.8?

I've been to a bunch of cons where Stan Lee was signing. I remember Rhode Island a couple of years back where people would actually fighting over Stan Lee tickets because his tickets actually "sold out". It was ridiculous. I guess now Conventions can spend more money on other entertainers or entertainment since they no longer have Stan to bring in the crowds.

Totally agree! I was monitoring eBay just to see what was happening and as predicted, there was a huge spike in sales such as posting books and buying books that were signed by Stan. It was quit disheartening but it has been a trend with writers and artists that are passing away as of late. I think the spike will plateau after a while (give it 6 months or so) but as stated, Stan signed books are going to cost more now. The bad sigs (from the last few signings) will hopefully go away, as those will be sold first and then non-keys and then keys that are a higher price will eventually be the last ones left. At least he is in a better place now and all the bad stuff and bad press that has come up lately, he won't have to deal with anymore.

Sorry to hear this As stated, definitely contact CGC first thing on Monday. Hopefully they will discuss the situation with you. Also let us know what happens. Good luck and hopefully everything gets fixed!

Gotcha. Well, I don't believe that this book has the correct holder and/or in the right category. Unless something has changed that I am not aware of. Hopefully someone with more knowledge or a CGC employee can comment. But as it is not your book, I guess whosever book this is, got a book with a rare mistake.

I feel like sending this back in might be a good idea to be given the correct holder. I am assuming a mistake was made somewhere???

Looks like cool heads prevail and Customer Service comes to the rescue! Great service from Brittany (as always) and the team!

Hmm... a discussion to get some people talking and maybe CGC will eventually change it? I mean, Incredible Hulk #180 states "1st appearance of Wolverine in cameo on last page" not as popular as a character? (which is a good debate as well)

exactly. Also here is link to what is contained in this book... Batman and other DC Classics

I am going to go with a hard "no" only because this looks like a sampling of stories going on in the DC universe (New Teen Titans w/ Nightwing, Batman: Year One, Maxwell Lord Justice League,etc) and plus Wikipedia says Tales of the Teen Titans #44 is his first appearance But anywho, i think this was published in 1989 (if my search of the book is correct)

Please let us know what happens when you contact CGC regarding this? This whole situation does not sound good.

Definitely don't think you made a mistake, as the item is worth to you as much as you think you would enjoy it. Congrats!!!

That's commitment!!!

Oh yeah, I remember those days. It was so exciting to take a book out of the plastic and ACTUALLY see what it looked it (if it wasn't spoiled already). So, my question on this topic is every copy of a book that is "still in the original plastic, mint condition!!" technically damaged goods and not mint condition? And are the people that buy old bagged comics not getting any book that is mint condition? (asking for a friend). Thanks for the nostalgic topic!

I would definitely say Alpha, Beta, Unlimited are the best cards/sets to have at this point. Arabian Nights, Antiquities and Revised come in second (or 4th,5th,6th) best cards/sets to have. I definitely think the cards are only going to rise in value as new sets are produced and the game is everywhere now. I used to play back in the day when Revised had just come out but never thought of it as a collector's hobby, just a game. That's not to say I don't have some valuable cards now and have a good collection of cards now. Now's its more of a collectors hobby for me and barely play the game. Anyways, here is a link to a good documentary on Magic Cards and the top card of them all: Black Lotus The Black Lotus (documentary)

New the Comic Art Gallery pages but wanted to share my first artwork as it is a piece from Legendary artist Jeremy Dale, R.I.P. This is fitting to put this up as I first met him at Baltimore Con and he was one of the most humble and inspiring artists/creators I have met. I ran into his wife selling his work at Heroes Con this year and had talked to her about her husband, his work and she was more than glad to have these pieces sold to someone that adored her late husband's work. If you get chance to run into Kelly Dale, please take the time to talk to her. Anyways, here's the artwork from SKYWARD (Action Labs), enjoy!

This was the worst news to wake up to this morning.... I will always remember him for his introduction to the Tim Drake as the new Robin, Anarchy and his work on Batman including Knightfall. A great blessing to have been around to witness and see his work. Now I am definitely going to have to his "Legends of the Dark Knight" collected work. R.I.P.
