Was surprised to see the difference. It’s almost as if Scott didn’t get the art that was being compared and only received the pre-color corrected for that page. That edition actually has lots of pages where Mike’s “splotchy” blacks are clearly visible. Guess he couldn’t get hold of that collector.

Re: Mylar - the recommendation by BCW is large poly bag as it stretches with the weight of the book instead of tearing. The bags used for “Ditko is...” large format books can be used. Re: AE generally. I have Hellboy, Thor (Simonson), LE GXM Cockrum, Bone, and Chinatown (Powell), Grasscutter (Sakai) & Wrightson in the IDW format. They’re all spectacular. I focus on getting the signed/remarked versions If available or the sdcc version which is tricky sometimes. They’re stored in a closet on a good shelf laying flat. I toss the boxes but get why people keep them. In case IDW is reading: WTB Corben & Darrow. aeindex.org is a great resource for these in case it hasn’t been mentioned.

Has anyone seen a copy of these issues in the wild? This series is an exclusive giveaway for users of the Dynamics ePlate Credit Card Device, users are given a digital page for every $35 spent (double if spent on TFAW or the Dark Horse Digital store) and once all 32 pages per issue are earned the full digital comic is emailed to them and once all five digital issues have been earned a physical copy will be sent to the user. They were collected in a trade which is easy to find but I haven't seen any of the physical copies. I see where they promise physical copies but I can't imagine too many users getting to those spend levels on a failed card. Did any even printed? I searched all of CGC's forums for details but nothing. Would love to find them or if not, at least confirm that there was in fact a print run.

You bet, CBCS has the ability to verify existing signatures and the result is a verified yellow label. https://www.cbcscomics.com/verified-signature-program

Just my $.02, now that CBCS uses the Becket signature verification process (which is crazy good), I see little reason to use CGC for slabbing books with existing sigs.

Yeah, that’s a real one imo and I have quite a few. Cbcs can verify his easily. Also, great book!

First time considering Trinity for a very high grade slabbed book which will need to be cracked for signing by Adam Hughes. Anyone had experience with these guys opening a book before? It’s a legit 9.8, no missed flaws by CGC. highest on census and one of 2. Should I even bother?

+100 for Ben but sadly unlikely. If you want 5, ping the owner of Mystery Pier in Hollywood. He told me that he could make it happen and I’m sure they’d send it wherever you wanted it with a creator note if that’s even possible. Cheers!

Hughes is doing one for trinity comics soon. Check their FB page.

I ordered it through DCBS but you should search “in stock trades” too. Yeah, it’s a larger format book than the Omni. Not sure what will happen to it now that DC is restructuring their efforts though.

On the off chance you’re still wondering about this (I think it’s real btw as he uses a brace now), submit to cbcs for verification. Their tech is legit.

I just realized today that all of the Strange Academy 1st appearances actually appeared in Thor 2 because of the massive Preview section in the back. This has to have been covered somewhere no?

I sold my Absolute Planetary years ago and saw this which looks great but I passed. Then I noticed DC put a single volume Absolute Planetary in solicits last month. Arrives this winter apparently. We’ll see if it gets cancelled. I can’t imagine this entire run in a single absolute format. Stoked.

A few tips... I might have missed it, mobile search isn’t the best but if you’re collecting Conan Omnibuses the Dark Horse books (OOP) contain stories & imagery that won’t be reprinted in the Marvel re-releases this year. Worth the money even at high prices given the floppies cost an arm and a leg now. I got really into Valiant with the 2012 relaunch and purchased all the deluxe editions, many of which are in the $150+ range which means nothing to me as won’t sell them. Of all of the Sandman iterations I’ve read, Absolute is the winner as is the case with Preacher. It is not the case with the horribly recolored (lossy not just subjectively ugly) Saga of the Swamp Thing. Goon Fancy Pants and Dark Horse Alien / Predator Deluxes are way undervalued. I also stopped buying “keys” in favor of waiting for the artist edition.

New to the process, would appreciate feedback if you're up for it. @World Devourer, @Phish&Comics, @Galen130. Thanks!

I purchased a book from @Phish&Comics and it was an excellent transaction. Thank you.

I purchased a book from @Galen130 and it was a seamless transaction.

Thanks all! Yeah, it’s already a signed blank cover so I’ll sort out a facilitator. Is there a list somewhere? I have the right creator agreements for when I do this from scratch but it’s a signed book that I bought.
