Re: WTS CGC Books Mostly Variants and Key Books

Updated price on the Solar 10 cgc 9.8 based on recent sales on ebay

Corrected error on signed Solar 10 cgc 9.2 where I had wrongly wrote BWS was one of the signers...It is in fact Jim Shooter and Bob Latham. Was thinking of classic BWS covers when typing my post, guess I had BWS on the mind.

Re: preview of Bloodshot: Rising Spirit aka Valiant suck now

Well the original Bloodshot was a gangster named Angelo Mortali so I guess they're going back to their roots(?) I don't know, I never liked the origin of the original Bloodshot in the 90s either. Being a "gangster" just felt like such a 90s thing to do in comics, like suddenly everyone goi...

WTS CGC Books Mostly Variants and Key Books

Sadly with two kids in daycare, I am slowly selling off a bunch of my CGC books. Prices on most are pretty firm and are based on recent sales on eBay, though some I may be willing to negotiate some if offers are reasonable. Pictures can be provided if desired, but any noticeable defects in the case ...

Re: Fast tracked books taking a long time at CGC normal?

Consider getting your invoice number from the store and calling CGC and finding out when they actually received it. Who knows how long the store sat on it. Can't discount that, though they typically mail CGC books oout Monday, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and I dropped mine off I believe on either Frid...

Re: DMG about to collapse? Please let Dinesh buy Valiant bac

My understanding is that DMG has nothing to do with the Sony movie. Perhaps they will get a credit, but the two companies have nothing to do with one another. I understand the options on Bloodshot are very old, so you have a situation where it's very possible that Valiant/DMG will get zero $$$ from...

Here's proof of the timing. It's crazy. Instant karma? Actually, it makes me wonder if the announcement about acquiring Valiant caused some DMG creditors to point out... "uh, you owe us money". Since we now know the stock price falling is due to debts. :hm: More likely to believe this tha...

Re: DMG about to collapse? Please let Dinesh buy Valiant bac

Sony is producing Bloodshot. Not sure what the rev share is, if any. Valiant might get nothing. DMG US says it is independent from DMG CN, but that's very unlikely to be the case. DMG US is funded by CN, and the ownership of the companies are probably intertwined to the point that it doesn't matter...

Re: Fast tracked books taking a long time at CGC normal?

I'm getting value tier stuff that was received on July 5. You are not getting fast track service. That's what I was afraid of. I'm going to ask my comic store to call CGC and request they refund the $10/book fast track. It's suppose to take half as much time, and going on 10 weeks is poor fast trac...

I'm not going to pretend that I fully understand the financial situation underpinning the whole affair here, but the way I'm seeing the situation I'd be surprised if the Bloodshot movie ever even hits the screens at this rate, never mind any other planned movies or tv series.

Re: DMG stock down 10%...20%...30%...40%...50%...60%!!!

Posting something semi-positive here for once. I did some additional research on DMG to try to determine what's been influencing their cash flow over the past few years. With Yinji Media tanking, it's likely DMG Entertainment will cut ties with them. Obviously doing that will have an impact on DMG ...

Taken in its entirety, this was a flop. Mostly because Valiant doesn't have any villains so they are left pitting the heroes against each other. And the villains they do have, they ignore.
