  1. I LOVE Card art!!! Where did you get it? ...and who did that awesome frame job? It's sweeeet!
  2. Those are some gorgeous Vampirella pieces. I love the Jusko painting as well. :thumbsup:
  3. This is my kind of Thread!!! My only regret is that I don't have too many books with more than 3 signatures. Anyway, keep 'em coming! -Issa Wolverine Nabisco Variant Signed by Yu, Sienkiewicz and Vines. Hulk 181 signed by Trimpe, JRSR, Stan Lee and Len Wein X-men 266 Signed by Stan Lee, Jim Lee, Andy Kubert and Claremont X-Men #1 (all 4 covers) signed by Jim Lee, Claremont and Scott Williams. (On Hold)
  4. Easyt63, Which comics are in those binders? How do you get comics bound into binders like that? Do they take all of the issues apart and put them in a binder? ...I would really like to do that myself! -Issa
  5. Issa I'm so jealouse of you!!!! :shy: Thanks for the kind words LBJARM
  6. I bought this book on a whim and got it signed at NYCC 2009: Wolverine#145 (Nasbisco Variant) CGC 9.8 SS Bill Sienkiewicz, Leinil Yu and Dexter Vines. Thanks to Par2ch for the silver sharpie, for teaching me how to prep my own books...and for letting me follow him around as he got the signatures for me. I learned that SS Witnesses are very quick on their feet. I could barely keep up with Dan....but it turned out very well as this book is the highest graded and has the most signatures (I believe). Thank you so much Dan. P.S. I still can't believe I prepp'ed this book myself....because I can't even keep the camera steady... -Issa P.S. Moved to this thread because "Back from CGC" is more appropriate.
  7. Thanks Jimbo/PinkPanther. I'm actually a bit taken by Joe Sinnott's signature. It's very neat and uniformly drawn. Interestingly enough, Sinnott's son, told me that he can't draw Dr. Doom/Galactus commissions because of the strain on his hand. With a signature like that, I think his hand is OK, right? Am I right? ...just kidding)
  8. I've been watching this thread for months hoping to finally add something to it. Here it is, my first FF book, first appearance of one of my favorite characters, Dr. Doom! I'm enamored by the fact that this book has no Marvel chipping. -Issa
  9. This is a DPS Andy Kubert piece that I've had for a few years. From X-Men #40. Word bubbles and sound effects still glued on.
  10. Very Nice Ditto! Man that's a sweet book? Is it for sale?
  11. ...you guys are too funny. Anyway, this is my contribution to this thread. Andy Kubert DPS of Wolvy and Sabretooth: I would take a better picture, but I bought it framed and I'm terrified of taking it out for a better picture. Art is 22 x 17"
  12. Wow, I love your FF#19/49 covers! ....I'm trying to get an FF#5, but have had no luck for the longest time. I look forward to the time I can post it in this thread.
  13. some amazing covers! makes me want my own double cover book!
  14. Wow this thread is sweeet. If anyone has a FF#5 they'd like to part with, please PM me. P.S. I'm waiting for the FF Omnibus so I can read the entire Lee/Kirby run of FF.
  15. I purchased a number of CGC graded books, totally about $4,000 from Silver Age Comics. Each purchase I made from SilverAgeComics was completely random in every sense of the word. They simply happen to have the books I was looking for. When I bought his X-men#1 at NYCC, someone pointed to Gus by name and I turned to him and said, 'Hi, I'm the guy who picked up book XXX from you two weeks ago. Thanks!!" So, thankfully, everything has worked out for me with SilverAgeComics and I have no qualms about buying from them in the future. As a side note: I do NOT buy RAW books online for a number of reasons. So, I cannot make any claims as to how well SAComics is with RAW books. Slabbed books, I have had ZERO problems. -Issa
  16. Ok...ok...I hate to the voice of reason here...but if you're waiting 5 years for a piece of OA, you're crazy. I'll let those with insane goals slide, (like super large OA, awkward DPSes and those with lots of demands). ...if an artist has a 5 year wait list, I'll buy some other OA from this artists (rather than a personalized commission. However, I now find myself conflicted, because I would probably wait a good while for a Dale Keown Hulk piece...
  17. Congrats to alwaysbronze for buying ASM 300 CGC 9.6 SS Stan Lee! Thank you to Congrats to blind_owl for selling me his Incredible Hulk #3 CGC 5.5
  18. I can think of at least 5 board members with collections that are worth more than a million.. Just 5? I can think 10 or 15... Bangzoom (millions; in a category of its own) jbcomicbox action1kid MrBedrock detective27kid metropolisent koko1 EsquireComics CentuarMan BillyParker CaptainTripps continue... What are some of the books/sets they own, if they've reached a million dollars? I can't wait to hear some answers to this.......
