I've got a couple or three of the gold ones.

I don't want the red THAT bad!

Yes, but do you have the platinum embossed?

Yes, it exists. Yes, I have one.

Tell me you're kidding. I've got the original blue, I've got the gold...uh wait a minute....I don't have the original blue, I DO have the gold and the silver (platinum?) both are embossed.

SWEET!

Yeah, silver, platinum, no one cares what they're called. It's shiny and silvery.

The variants *I* know about are the gold, silver-plat, and red...plus maybe a black and white...and of course, the regular blue. If anyone knows of others, please let me know!

I know I'm going to regret this.....

Are you screwing with me now? Black? White? Is there a Topps Comics site anywhere with checklists????

No. That's why I'm writing the damn book.

It's really bizarre. The $100 was near the end of last month, and was the only one up for sale at the time, so it's probably just an anomaly. If people are willing to pay this much for just the signed comic, imagine what they'll pay for one with gloves. Geez.

The $100 sale was a Buy It Now, so I wouldn't use that as a measure of the value of this book. $40-$50 seems about right, maybe a bit higher if one comes along with the gloves and letter.

Hard to believe I thought I was paying too much....

x-omatic · Post by **x-omatic** » Sat Feb 05, 2005 10:37 am

Well the $100 one did have the gloves and letter. They are very hard to find still together.

How hard would it be to fake the gloves and the letter?

MedicAR · Post by **MedicAR** » Fri Feb 11, 2005 10:34 am

The gloves wouldn't be too tough, I guess. They're just white cotton, no labels of any kind, nothing too fancy. The letter might be toughter, I'm not really up on scanner/copier technology. It has a very faint Deviant logo that covers most of the page, you can just make it out in the scan I put up on page 2

depluto · Post by **depluto** » Fri Feb 11, 2005 12:13 pm

You know, that would be a piece of cake. Probably the same deal for the X-O Database VVSS.

Easy forgeries.
