Re: DMG status

Thats crazy, it lost 90% of its value... When DMG i guess now Yinji, goes under, or at least dumps the coms.. this will be known as the schizophrenic period of valiant's history. Yinji will dump but to who? they will probably want $50 million.. What they want is irrelevant. We should put together a...

DMG status

With the Chinese bond market groaning under the weight of Evergrande et al, I'm wondering how this is effecting DMG. I don't know much but I recall posts here talking about the precarious nature of their parent company (whose name escapes me). Does anyone have any insight on the matter?

Re: Ebay alternative

I think the real downside to shortboxed is that you have to send them your slabs, almost like an amazon shipping partner/seller. And I think I read that there's a 10% fee on the gross sale. That's better than Ebay but not much. I remember back in the Ebay early days when they were content with a 50...

Ebay alternative

Tried searching on those terms and just came up with a ton of posts with "alternative" but not "ebay". Adding a + or putting it in quotes didn't help. Ebay fees are ridiculous. CL won't allow you to post to other cities with regularity. Is there an app (phone or otherwise) anyone...

Re: Bad Idea is OVER!!!

I wanted to support the effort but when I started reading about how difficult it would be to purchase the initial issues, I didn't even try. I think the scarcity thing was bad idea. "Look how hard it will be to get our product!" is not a selling point. I wish the crew all the best and sinc...

Re: How important is colour?

Not sure how to answer the question, but I know that I've seen Cary Nord Valiant issues without color and thought they actually looked better. That being said, I'm not ready to give up on colored books.... at least not in an ongoing fashion.

Re: Valiant NY Offices are Permanently Closed

While it has ominous overtones with the demise of Valiant's publishing numbers under Heather Antos, I agree with Ken that there's no way they needed to be at such a ritzy address. After my first tour of the office five or six years ago, I was already wondering if they really needed to be there, when...

Re: WTB DIVINITY #1 LAROSA (1:40) 9.8

Your 9.6 looks great. Hopefully it gets sold. It sure beats the remaining raw copy on E-Bay with a couple of issues that probably drops the grade a little. Honestly, I will never understand what kind of Ouija board, coin flip, or rock-paper-scissors-lizard-spock game CGC uses to divine a 9.6 from a...
