I personally enjoy them.I had Ramos sign & sketch on this one last year at a con & I have 2 old Gen 13's I plan to get signed & graded by JSC.

I like that they are a bit rougher and more about the creative process than the polished production process.

I have a few and would love to get graded but $40 a pop is to high for my blood. I had just one done.

That's a tough one.

Some ashcans are very rare...see the Maxx Blacks...and quite valuable. Most of them are junk, but...a ton bunch of them were thrown away in the malaise of the late 90's, so some of them may actually end up being rare.

I've always wondered how creators see them, especially if you had one at a con for them to sign. Someone ask for me next time lol

@thpike I wouldn't think they would be against them seeing how they were a part of them. I kind of wish I saw more of them around. They seam to have kind of died down after the '00's.

@Sirtoddington I wonder if this has to do with how so many are created digital these days. You can do a whole mockup in a program and see it there generally speaking. It was just something I was wondering about since you don't see to many of them like you said. What has really replaced them for people to check out before a comic gets created.

@thpike well... they're made the exact same way as the regular books are. just sans color. but yeah. maybe they don't need the use of the ashcan to promote anymore when they can just use social media, websites, etc to promote online.

have this one, sent out to CBCS and came back RAW, because it has a seal on and they would not cut it.
i have seen some ashcans with seal on them, so remember they will not grade it if it has a seal.
