songsaboutclouds Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Not sure about normal, hard to say considering how rare the Ruby reds are suppose to be. Anyone have a number on print run with the ruby reds? Honestly, I had forgot all about them. On a side note, got my grades back on a couple of Gen 13 # 1 variants....books not in hand yet but soon I'm sure. Janet Jackson variant only came back 9.2 but the Lingerie version came back 9.6. No 9.8s oh well Print run was allegedly 400 but not sanctioned so were supposed to be destroyed. Mine went about 4 years ago on Ebay for $550 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayor006 Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 So here's a question.... If you look at a label for Deathmate Black it says it is the first full appearance of Gen 13. Does that mean that there were appearances of any team members prior to that? So back to this...why else would CGC put that if there wasn't a prior appearance by at least one of them somewhere?

Real Elijah Snow Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Rainmaker appeared in an issue of Stormwatch prior to the gen 13 app in Deathmate. Lynch may have appeared in something else prior to that too, but i could be imagining that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayor006 Posted July 25, 2011 Author Share Posted July 25, 2011 Hmmm that's interesting. So CGC sees Rainmaker's first appearance in Stormwatch #8 as a prequel to the team appearance even though Rainmaker was not a member of the original team... Hard to keep up with stuff like this!

Mayor006 Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 So who picked up all those glorious SS copies over the weekend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 So who picked up all those glorious SS copies over the weekend? I was underbidder on a lot of them! at least 5, maybe more. My brother was sending me emo sad txts when the 5th avenue or whatever street variant ended at 22. I suspect i would have just been the under on that one too I was pretty mad i didnt go all out and win the brady variant. Especially since i like spending money with Dan.

RockMyAmadeus Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 :shrug: That's an unbelievable steal, considering SS costs $27 or so just to slab. The sig and book were free, with a discount on the slab. Great for the buyer, bad for the seller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
combiner1 Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 well considering the Janet cvr came just under $200 and the lingerie cvr just under $120, i think just between those two, he'll probably just break even or maybe just make a small profit. I got the Grundge spidey cvr just under $45, plus the rest was just over $55 (i would know, i bid on atleast 4 or 5 of them) So i think he's doing just fine PLUS, i think this was his third set of Gen 13 SS. the previous set sold way more than the 3rd set did.

I don't determine for other people what is "just fine" for them or not. The seller may have been happy with "just breaking even" or he may not. I DO know this: when sellers can't make money, they will stop doing whatever it is they are doing, and the supply dries up. As a seller, I will sooner burn an SS book before giving it away for $22. And I'll still take the "better book premiums." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was the highest grade in that as well as the only time I offered a chrome signature series number 1. Although it did come in lower than my last 2 sets I'm still pretty happy with the marginal profit I made in the long run. The were couple good deals that were made I'm happy to start or continue a a collectorsignature series addiction Edited August 5, 2011 by Par2ch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Par2ch Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 (edited) As they say you win some you lose some. But in the long run in the attention those books got by the number of watchers Definitely increased bids on some of the other book I had for sale . No slabs were hurt or burnt in the Listing and subsequent selling of these books Edited August 5, 2011 by Par2ch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockMyAmadeus Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Think I have seen a similar one before, but without the happy dance self-control Ok, so I saw one of these at San Diego. The dealer didn't know its origin, and thought it was a sketch of "Dangerl Girl" he'd gotten a few years ago. It was, however, this. Sadly, as is typical with this dealer, it was radically overpriced ($300.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayor006 Posted August 9, 2011 Author Share Posted August 9, 2011 I think these might be the comics that came with the dolls. I think I might have one of them raw in my collection. Pretty good price if you are a completionist! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 6 of those, and they all reprint Gen 13 #1, the mini series from 1994. They also reprint various old covers, including Gen 13 #13A, #6, #25, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
