Wednesday, the best day of the week, new comic book day.
We open things up to hear from you. A free for all.
The 304th edition of the open forum!
Here are my pickups from last week. An epic key added in as well.
Did you know we have the forum up and running, you can check it out at the official CHU Forum site, go over and sign up.
As always we also want to hear about your weekly pickups.
So, What were your pick ups?
Picked up: Cerebus 1 Remastered reprint. The Waverly Press is selling the remaining inventory from the Kickstarter. There are variant covers with expanded content available, but I picked up the original cover version.
Picking up: Batman/The Maxx 4
I saw it so i have to ask. how does a book due out today, appear on Ebay already CGC’d? Does CGC have a tardis drop off I’m not aware of? Joking, yes, but i am seriously curious.
i am referring to Venom 27 3rd print
People that live close to the cgc office. I can say that some retailers got their deliveries Thursday or so last week.
are you kidding me? i was told that when you send books in it takes a month or more for return
Nope. You can do drop offs I believe. I think it’s all in where you live and who you know.
It’s also about the volume you’re willing to guarantee. About fifteen years ago I was one of the dealers playing the “first 9.8” game. As long as I sent them at least 200 books a month for 9.8 prescreen, they’d do them in 3-4 days. It had to be brand new issues. Couldn’t toss in my Amazing 361s or anything. But if I sent them 25 of this week’s Thor and 25 of this week’s Wolverine and 10 Venom third prints and 5 Black Widow variants, they’d all be done in 3-4 days.
I imagine things have changed a little. But I doubt they’ve changed much. Big volume 9.8 screens are the easiest and fastest work they get.
Pick ups for the week:
Star Wars #7 (1:25 Kuder variant for $15)
Avengers #36-store got in replaced damaged copies and was able to get one for cover price
Spec pick ups for the week:
Rejected #1 2nd print Source Point (cover price for another copy)
Batman Adventure Continues #2 (1st printing) 2 copies at cover price-can’t believe these are still out there on the shelves. I sell these everytime I get them for $16-$18
Canto #1 (2nd print) $5-with the high prices on nice shape 1st prints, figured this might be a good pick up and hope for halo effect.
PC pick ups for the week:
Howard the Duck #12 and #13 (1st appearance of Kiss in comics) in NM-NM+ shape. I paid $45 for the pair, but have wanted a set for quite a while. I really love these non-mainstream 1970’s books!
