  1. Is there a separate version of #2? If not, I don't see any issue with how they do it. If anyone is misleading people, it's the publisher.
  2. Kool and Da Gang. Now you have to find five buyers. Best of luck.
  3. Manufacturing errors are a small niche in the hobby, and the book is worth more to people who collect them. It's a novelty that might make good trade material. It's a fairly obscure Dave Stevens cover so the book is in demand. Those errors are rare, but not many people chase them.
  4. I picked up a small, well-loved batch of Underground a few months ago. There are lots of cool titles, but most have coffee stains throughout the books. I didn't read many underground books in my youth. I didn't care for B&W, and many were 50-75 cents at a time when comics were a quarter. Eventually, I'd buy an occasional Raw or Neat Stuff, and I sold those in my shops, but I avoided underground books since I had many underage patrons.
  5. I have not identified the two large Indians, but they are incredibly detailed. Blue figure is most likely from a 1950s Fort Apache set. The other is known as a ring hand, as it's hands allow for interchangeable weapons.
  6. Recent finds, fresh from a vinegar bath. The three brown ones are six-inch Marx, circa late 1950s/early 1960s. The Yellow one is an unknown maker from the same era. These were sold individually, where the small figures came as part of a playset. Marx had playsets in the $5-$7 range, but offered a deluxe version of most. The smaller cowboys are mid-1950s Lido and the nazi is from a 1963 Marx Desert Fox playset.
  7. Only those willing to risk going too far can determine how far they can go. Artists like Miller, Giffin, and Bill Sienkiewicz could have stuck to imitating Kirby and Starlin, but they struck out in their own direction. I don't like their new styles, but I appreciate how they evolved. Daredevil was forty-five years ago. I'm sure all of us are vastly different than we were in 1979. So is Miller.
  8. Batman, pre-Miller was dead. It was one of the lower-selling DC titles but Miller changed that.
  9. You didn't sell football tickets; you sold unwanted personal property and can offset it with sales of other personal property.
  10. Have you looked at the notes on the book? CGC grades the whole book. You are looking at the cover.
  11. A star is paid $50,000 for a convention appearance. A company pays $100,000 for someone to fly to their hq for a signing. Are these 1099 events?
  12. If the buyers were bidding on it because of its historical aspects, I'd be thrilled. I'm fairly sure the bidders are more concerned about its future ROI than anything else.
