I would love to own some of Clayton's stuff from Rai....
The material in this thread is terrific.

I'm making two of the hobbies most sought-after autograph cards available for anyone interested in these great and proven long-term assets. Availability: -on eBay for those who like that platform -on the Wave 1 Collectibles website at a discounted price from eBay -or for the best price, will knock $...

Just added a nice 6-card collection from the Chronicles of Riddick set for anyone interested. Availability: -on eBay for those who like that platform -on the Wave 1 Collectibles website at a discounted price from eBay -or for the best price, will knock $20 bucks off the W1C website price for a Paypa...

:thumb: I know how much you like Iron Man! CGC has been posting some fans rooms on its FB page. It’s really fun to see other people’s collections. And how they live with them. Thank you, brother.... I'll have to check out the thread there. Nowadays the majority of my stuff is in one of two configur...

Picked this one up recently for what I consider to be a steal.... https://i.imgur.com/Xde0023l.jpg This is a great grab for me. I loved, loved, loved Mike Ryan's work on Iron Man vol 3. And at the time the introduction of Temugin - the Mandarin's son was actually met with applause as a great way to ...

You're giving Barucci too much credit. He's below "bottom feeder" because the auction for the Acclaim properties started at $250,000 and he didn't bother showing up. Nicky B is the guy who jumps in the Uber that the actual last guy at the bar called for the last girl at the bar and then h...

Thank you brother, I appreciate that.

Best deal I got in the last year was the original preliminary drawing for Alex Ross' "DC Mythology" cover. Greg and I spent some time discussing how I came about getting this piece of art because I picked it up for a better price than either he or I could compute. And so, later I authentic...

Woke-$#!( also seeks to displace or replace traditional archetypes rather than joining them by adding something new to the existing mix. I think this is a good way to articulate the debate…displace/replace versus adding something new. I’m stealing that :thumb: Go for it. The more definitive languag...

Apart from being a great movie, Aliens happened without any agenda or intended audience political manipulation. So whilst I see the point being made, it’s all about context. And I'll illustrate the context here because supporters of woke-$#!( lack all critical-thinking nuance and simply onboard for...

John Byrne cover! :cloud9: It's funny this came up here. I've been buying John Byrne runs on basically any title whenever I see them lately. Most recently it's been his Fantastic Four and Superman stuff. I've also been all-in on the newest Iron Man run with CAFU and Cantwell. The book has been terr...

This is cool, but I'll never understand how the Valiant I.P. holders have failed time after time to deliver on a solid action figure line. It would be huge. Surprised we are doing a game over that.....

That's really neat... I'm torn between the Starbrand cover and the Crusaders cover.

That would definitely look cool sitting next to the old X-O ring in a nicely displayed Valiant collection......

Over the past 20 months or so, I’ve sold more on eBay than all my previous 15 years, and by far! FB groups have been okay, but I only post stuff there that are big lots I’m looking to dump, or big runs that are cost prohibitive to ship, or big books with time payments attached. Despite its high fee...

I think the real downside to shortboxed is that you have to send them your slabs, almost like an amazon shipping partner/seller.

I've been doing pretty well on eBay since setting up a valid store there about a year ago. Traffic is good and word of mouth has been terrific for me, which I'm thankful for. The best model? Don't feed anybody bull$#!( about how great they are or how great the fandom is or other nonsense about how y...

I remember you discussing this some time back too... Really happy for you getting it back, brother.

Now just go through each book and make sure that she didn't cut them inside the pages with scissors and put them back in the bags...

Greg and I were just talking about this thread for a while, giving me cause to look at it. In many ways this is such cool info, but in others it's like - God help the general collector who gets interested enough to hunt these down. :!: In some ways it's fun, but in others this was the kind of releas...

I saw that too. Isn't that nuts? And guess what? Marvel Boy is in it - LMAO I didn't find out about that until after this book popped. So now I want it for collector reasons while everyone else wants it for spec.

Dino,

Anything you can clarify regarding the print runs or wider availability on these deluxe editions now?

I've just finished and it's incredible. I thought BWS was a great artist but he is an even better writer. I would go for the signed edition. You won't regret it, once you read it you will cherish having a signed copy. If you don't I'll happily buy it from you for what you paid! It's crazy the amoun...

I’m on the fence as well. Would love to hear if others liked it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Me too, but it's not for lack of faith for a BWS project, but more like the price point is a little high for the signed trade. I'd like to get a copy, but we will see. Maybe it's not "high"...

Addition by subtraction. Looking at her twitter you can barely tell she's even in comics. The comics industry truly is amazing for continuing to hire people that take their previous work or company to new lows. Not something exclusive to just Antos, but it's amazing And then they talk about how har...
