  1. Was a little worried cracking a 9.8 for the signature but very happy with the results!
  2. Thanks to @Rich_Henn for taking such good care of my original off the shelf Preacher 1.
  3. Congratulations! You went for the big 9.8 I see-great pickup!
  4. Darrow was supposed to do bvp originally before he opted out. BvA was fun because of wrightsons’s art. I couldn’t care less about superhero stuff but will almost always give certain artists a look.
  5. Awesome! I managed to get a 98, 96, 96 post pressing on the trio so hopefully you do well if you’re slabbing when you have all 3! Much love for the Goon.
  6. Sick collection! You should pickup dreamwalker too. Slightly earlier than the AI you have and easy enough to find.
  7. There’s a guy on ig who has 3: https://www.instagram.com/p/CMk1Hcjhsbe/?utm_medium=copy_link
  8. I both agree with you and strongly disagree with you on this for some reason. Editor probably said, “I want to see every character on this page but Wolverine big.” It’s as if Kirby and Jim Lee had an art baby that just wasn’t quite right. I’ve changed my mind, I love it. Thank you for this range of emotions.
  9. I don’t see any posts for UF4 1st Print or ASM 4. Both are amazingly terrible “spoiler but not really” with RL level proportion issues.
  10. It’s the first time I’ve enjoyed edwards and that’s due to the colors. That Quitely cover is great though. Good stuff overall.
  11. Some background on this was provided by smith at Comic-Con. Basically he was really nervous that the hype days would destroy the industry so instead of self-publishing, he got a sweet deal from image, did some fun crossovers, and went back to self-publishing when the coast was clear. He effectively parked his brand under an overpass during the tornado that was 90’s comics. Sakai is doing something similar with Usagi and has done so several times in the past though he never self-published to my knowledge nor does he have much leverage, he just finds stronger houses.
  12. Personally I just loved the story and the cartooning. It was different than everything else at the time and it held up over the years. It’s been wildly reprinted via scholastic too. In terms of “value”, I don’t collect for $$ reasons. There is a Netflix series coming which will probably be popular but again, I’m just a fan and don’t care about price/etc.
  13. In addition to being down off and on, I've noticed it's actually wrong for many of my CGC issues. Incorrectly lists cover artist and issue variant. I've had this issue with a few obscure books. It seems like CGC is good on the big couple of publishers but the more obscure stuff just gets ignored during the QA process. That said, I do own an Ultimate Fallout 4 with a 1st print blue label even though it's a second print. Example: CGC Cert # 3694480016 Title Shaolin Cowboy Issue 7 Issue Date 5/07 Issue Year 2007 Publisher Burlyman Entertainment Grade 8.5 Page Quality WHITE Grade Date 10/08/2020 Grade Category Modern Art Comments Geof Darrow story, cover & art
  14. Love the concept of the registry. I've read this note and it's not exactly the problem I'm having. The census data is incorrect (missing) for several of the books that I have. It's been missing/inaccurate for months so it's not a recent occurrence. Here's what I sent support but happy to post in another location should you need. TOPIC: Incorrect Census Data for Shaolin Cowboy (Burlyman). DETAILS: I have all of the comics in verifiable cgc slabs. Feel free to verify my comments by using my previous submission: #3694480. Issue 1 had two printings. Your's are listed in reverse. Issue 2 had one regular & one variant by Mignola. Issue 3 had one regular & one variant by Moebius. Issue 4 had one regular & one variant by Scott Gustafson. Issue 5 had three variant covers none of which are correct in the census: A - Darrow (half-page torn cover), B - Delgado Wraparound, C - Direct Limited Darrow (full-page cover). Issue 6 has one regular & one variant by Nowlan Issue 7 has one regular & one variant by Severin All regular covers are by Darrow. You can cross reference the above statements with my books, League of Comic Geeks, Comic Book Realm, and MyComicShop. Would love to know when there's an update.
  15. Variety of stuff for family. I buy every friend/family newborn the bone hc collection, some prints, and sketches in hopes they read bone as their first comic. Been doing it for a few years but did quite a bit more than normal last year. He doesn’t sell his bone OA (anymore) as you know though there are some Rose pages I’ve spotted in the wild.
  16. I managed to score some signed books during lockdown. Thought y’all would be interested.
  17. Thought y’all would get a kick out of this. Bought a bunch of art from Smith in April and received this face mask as thanks. It’s been well used at this point.
  18. Regarding why CGC doesn’t do verified signatures: it’s really expensive to start and requires a ton of tech/ test & training data. If they make a mistake, it invalidates their history. CBCS is owned by Beckett which has been perfecting this technique for decades on sports cards. It’s not because CGC has ulterior motives around signings or some such nonsense. CGC is a great grading company (best IMO) but they don’t have the tech to guarantee it and that’s what the G is for.
  19. Great purchase, favorable terms, incredible shipping/handling. Thank you!
