those getting theirs had sigs...

Is this correct? several more weeks for the rest of us?
Please clarify.

Right, sorry I should have been more specific as to my plans.
I have emailed & pm'd Bob, I want to send them over to him and get them asap (I know he's a busy man but this book is starting to feel like an Image book). So far I have not recieved a reply.

SIDE NOTE:

I thought I would post on how the books look at the moment. I know a few people who were up against me in the bidding were planning to CGC the books, it crossed my mind too (albiet very very briefly, the VcVSS is a much cooler road).

#1/40 looks to be the worst condition of the bunch. Its a VF- with bent corners and a few spine stress marks.
#2/40 is a little better but has a top corner bend and a spine stress where the bws card is.
The rest are much better than these two but aren't perfect. I don't think a single book would get 9.8. Maybe one or two 9.6's. A large number of them near the bottom numbers and top numbers have a roll. The best looking books are the middle ones.

All pages are very WHITE, corners are great except for a few valiant corners. Most of the books look to be 9.4 (im not sure how much a roll would drop a grade)

Just to clarify, Bob has been recovering from an injury and that is probably why he has taken so long to respond.

Dino,
I have no idea what you're talking about. If you're writing me--it's not at any e-mail address I currently use.
In fact--I haven't gotten an e-mail from you in quite some time. Since I mailed the books to Ms. Jackson.

That being said, you may e-mail me at: bob.layton@boblayton.com if you wish to exchange info or better yet, just send me what you wanted me to sign and I will gladly do it.
At the time, I DID receive an e-mail from you with explicit instructions--requesting me to only sign a select few books. (which I thought was peculiar) Perhaps, it was a misunderstanding based on how that request was worded.
I honestly don't know.
Again, I have no problem signing stuff, as long as I don't have to foot the bill.

Bob

LATEST UPDATE:

Got an email from Bob Layton today:

Dino,
Your package has arrived.
I'll get everything signed and mail it back to you on Monday. Okay?

Bob

If all goes well I should be able to have the books out Friday. If not there might be a wait as I'm going to be in Hong Kong for two weeks starting July 29th.

WARNING, THIS IS A JOKE!

*flashback to Pulp Fiction* Sub Indo China for Hong Kong

Dino doesn't get a chance to ship the Mag 0's out before going on vacation to Hong Kong.

Dino arrives in Hong Kong hungry for some rice and meat & stuff.

Ninjak springs from the rice bowl, splitting Dino in two. Ewwww.... shoulda mailed the books

PS. I already knocked on wood for ya... you're good to go.

hey dino...any news on extras?
i'd love to have one of these if anyone pulls out.
i'm not interested in getting it cgc'ed or anything like that, i just like the idea of having something exclusive to the true valiant fans.
let me know!
thanks!

dino · Post by **dino** » Fri Jul 23, 2004 6:02 pm
