Suck it up, buttercup!! KatKomics private msg quote post Address this user
Nothing earth shattering...just filling some holes and at 60% from Chuck it was still only just a bargain on these books (keep in mind that 60% is really only 25 to 30% off for me due to the exchange difference )

I believe I saw this cover in Borock's cool books that hit my grading desk post a few months ago and I've been looking for a copy in my price range ever since. Glad I got this tonight.

Sweet, I also pulled the trigger on one of these in Ebay auction last week. Mine had a grade of 8.0, but I will have to crack that banned slab before I can post a picture here. Was planning to crack it anyway for signing this weekend. Looks like an 8.0, but with PGX you can't get to comfortable until you see the inside of the book.

Well hopefully it looks good once you crack it for that Steranko signature this weekend.

I thought you were going to say the discount was only 25-30% due to their mile high prices, but then plot twist....canadian exchange and shipping.

Once in a while, I've been surprised with Chuck's prices after his codeword. 60% off is about the only time I would order from him, but I have filled some sizable runs of FF and Alpha Flight with his codeword sales.

Well, well, well.

I never thought I’d see a forgotten isle cover on this board.

The writer runs one of the LCS I go to. Good guy. Very passionate about comics.

The ONLY 9.8 signature series on the census, only 9 other 9.8's total. What a awesome buy. Sometimes it pays to be a chicken 🐔


That is F-ing amazing. Grendel is by far my favorite indy book of all time. Such an awesome book to have

30 cent price variant. I'll be sure to have a pro knock out that spine roll.



Side note. Were the indicia even changed on the price variants to denote the higher cover prices?

Extremely excited to get this, Spider-man 66 with a verified John Romita Signature. Unfortunately (for me) the signature is on the first page and I will never see it unless I crack it open. Got it for a fantastic price, just got it today and I couldn’t be happier. Well, I could be happier if the signature was visible (proof positive you can't have everything).

@southerncross - Some pretty cool books, Michael. Looking at the cover to Gasp #1, it says "Lou Wahl," but I see Kurt Schaffenberger artwork.

@esaravo not sure. Saw that at my local and picked it up. Haven't had a chance to really look at it. Thought the heroes Inc was cool. Looks like it was distributed thru the armed forces. And my first Millie the color just popped on this cover.

If the viagra is working you should be well over a 9.8. xkonk private msg quote post Address this user
Unknown Comics had a buy 3 get 3 sale around the holidays, so I picked up a few. Will get another order in Feb/March after the new Wolverine series starts up.

This one has Excalibur 2 Parrillo variant (Gambit), X-23 #1 Parrillo virgin variant, Astonishing X-Men #1 Jim Lee variant, Phoenix Resurrection #1 Dodson variant, and blank cover variants of the X-Men 1 and New Mutants 98 reprints. Keeping up my options for sketches down the road.
