that has got to be the most expensive back scratcher I've ever seen

an original oil for $3500 is not that bad. i know its expensive but art is subjective and, in the grand scale of things, 3500 is not a lot of money for original art. If you like magnus and predator, this will be your cup of tea.

welcome friend.

welcome on board. Best, Magnus

that is an absolutely beautiful comic book. Love the original Turok books (Dell and Gold Key).

these losers sit in their basement somewhere and spend all their time thinking about how to steal from others. Imagine if they channel that energy into trying to improve their lives an honest way?

classic trust and bait strategy. sell a few things, get positive feedback, build trust, then screw people of their money until the gig is up. he wont be selling any more on ebay but so what? he got his money and now he can buy as much cocaine as he likes.

If you are going to drop 100K on a piece of art, it is best to buy a real original painting on canvas. The reason why i suggest an original painting is that you improve your ability to sell it later because original comic art is very specialized and will be harder to find a buyer, whereas, original ...

Agreed.

dang, those images of Captain America really hurt my eyes...

Is it my imagination or is Hulk 181 missing the cover. Is that not the darling issue?

I do not want to sound mean, but Liefeld is an arrogant jerk with little talent and he was always late. He was the posterchild of what was wrong with Image comics in the early 90s. He sucks.
:sumo:

Also, why do all of Liefeld's characters have the same facial expression, mouth slightly open ...

And BTW - Cartman's doll is named Clyde-Frog.

Clyde-Frog!

Thanks Slym2none

Weren't all of the Supreme #1's marked Volume Two or something? I remember being baffled by that one back then.

Yeah I never got what that was about either?

IIRC Liefeld wanted to a do a mini-series prequal that explained Supreme's origin and eventually (years later) it was done as The Power of ...

also, Magnus used to wear brown boots, but then, he wore white boots to make him look even more gay. i know this is going to sound crazy, but when i first purchased my Magnus books, i did not even notice he wore boots. then, a few years later, when i re-purchased the Magnus books is when i noticed ...

Where is Unblessed when you need him the most. I would love to read what Cartman's Frog Puppet has to say about this...

Cavewoman #1 (Basement comics) in NM condition.

the story and especially the art is amazing and abstract. loved the book.

Man, with that language, just leave this board. That is totally uncalled for.

Grow up or get out.


on the other side speculating is bringing prices back up. do we hope DH does a great job yep , but there is a chance it will fail badly but either way solar and magnus prices are going up bigtime ...

Valiant caught the attention of the speculators not because of triple gate-fold foil stamped covers polybagged with a trading card. They caught the attention of the speculators because of the quality of the content..

I'm sorry, but that is not true. Card dealers didnt read comic books. They had ...

Yep, the Death of Superman (#75) had a print run of 4 million copies. Still, superman was an icon and he never gets hurt. So, DC makes an issue where he dies. Its a big deal. Yet, out of nowhere, Turok #1 had a print run of 1.75 million. Turok #1? Huh? Who the F$ck is Turok? Well, of course i know ...

from my understanding, many of the speculators were sportscard vampires who destroyed their industry in the late 80's. Now that the sports card industry was in the toilet, they rolled onto the comic book industry like a pack of leper wolves. The sports card dealers all went out of buisness with ...

The fact heat is applied to the comics during pressing is a stumbling block to some.

Yup - I believe even the LOC states that high heat can alter the paper fibers. Add pressure to that, and it can't be good for the comic. That's why I don't ever want a pressed book, it may look like a nice 9.4 ...

No, that pretty much describes the attitude in the Comic Market pre-CGC. Early 90s qualifies.

I hope I'm not getting my stories confused. The point is that dealers spend time trying to figure out how to rip off collectors. Its a sad situation, and its because of this attitude that CGC was created ...

i voted no because they have a well-organized website for purchasing. also, how do we know they dont just go ahead and print more comics to match the demand? i am very weary of companies that pretend to have first edition books but really are a print-on-demand company thereby destroying any value of ...

If pressing is not something that needs to be disclosed because it is not considered restoration, and if pressing results in a higher CGC scores, then every book that CGC rates will be pressed because there is no ethics in comic books when it comes to money. I apologize for offending anyone, but it ...
