Re: Berkeley Comic Show - August 7, 2021 (Really El Cerrito)

I think BetterthanEzra (sp) is one of the usual people who set up at this show. It was in a new location this time and split into three rooms due to the spacing. They hope to be in the old location next time which can house twice as many comics. It's basically ALL comic books vs other shows which ...

Berkeley Comic Show - August 7, 2021 (Really El Cerrito)

Berkeley Comic Show, August 7, 2021

Wow. I haven't been back on this board in a while... but in any case, looks like things are slowly coming back. Not sure how many Valiants you'll find at this show, but it'll be mostly comics with nary a cosplayer in sight.

Re: WTB Magnus #15, Harbinger #8, EW #1 Gold Embossed CGC 9.

Be happy to help. I can practically guarantee 9.8s on all Unity Issues. (I can complete more than 50 sets probably of all Unity issues...)

You'd probably have to slab them yourself, but I wouldn't charge you $100 for each either. If you want me to slab them, then we need to talk.

Does the cgc label say they were pressed, or do you know they were? And if so, how?

CGC does not denote pressing as they cannot detect it reliably (if at all, at least professional press-jobs.)

Well, yes. There is a considerable chance that you will never see Jim Shooter work again on a Gold Key character for Dark Horse. (Or on a Valiant character for VEI for that matter)

It's pretty clear from the complaint that even if Jim's other company were involved, that work could also not interfere or compete with VEI. That's not a loophole.

In my opinion, it looks pretty bad for Mr. Shooter. :(

After reading the complaint, it's pretty clear that Valiant doesn't have a large network infrastructure.

The loss of Shooter's notebook contents seems to indicate that all the planning documents were also lost means the company held no regular backups of Shooter's files and that the files were not ...
