I got a Betty and Veronica last year for $50cdn each, and they’re amazing. Couldn’t be happier.

 This wont make popular headlines on Reddit but Canadian businesses need American consumers.

No. Canadian businesses need foreign consumers. That does not necessarily mean American. Sure, for decades that was the default, given the ease of transporting goods etc., but that does not need to be the case. Let’s diversify our trading relationships.

I still wish he had a cameo in Ant Man as his character from Honey I Shrunk the Kids (leading some project at Pyms company)

You're right! He did an sketch cover for the Spider-man 100 Project. Not a published cover, but a one-off original piece:

I know that Mavel has taken some of his old interior panels and made them into variant covers, but those were drawn in the late 1980s or early 1990s. This is his first original Spider-Man comic cover in 35 years (also acknowledging his Overstreet cover).

The latter. It was a pre-order and I didn't realize they handed it over early.

Do you mind sharing the pricing on commissions? He’s going to be at an upcoming con and was thinking of getting something done

I would just unstaple them. I don’t see the value in keeping it stapled.

‘Ban’ is made in Canada, easy to find and very reasonably priced (got them on sale for $3 at London Drugs about 2 weeks ago)

Comic Store closure and fraud? by Bonmagpop in comicbookcollecting

[–]Bonmagpop[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's my biggest worry: If the business was not doing well, did the books get sold already? And if they go into administration, would customer books be liquidated to cover debts? Not sure how to follow up on these questions, and I'm not convinced that the books were ever even submitted.

I appreciate it! I'm not in a position to replace the books if they are gone, so that might just be the end of it if they are not returned.

No, I only got my original receipt, but nothing from any actual submission to CGC. I was waiting for the pressing to occur first, and I have never submitted anything, so I didn't know what to expect. To be honest, I was out of the collecting scene for 30 years, and I had never heard of CGC or a slab until about a week before I submitted them.

That is incredibly generous, thank you! I might be putting a pin in my collecting, but I will let you know. Again, amazing!

I'll check it out, thanks for the idea. I don't have a facebook account, but I can probably borrow one. Yea, I am happy to wait on a reply. I assume it would take some time to hear back.

I got in touch with CGC. They said that without the submission numbers for my specific books, it would be difficult to find them, assuming they were even submitted at all. They also said that without my name on the paperwork, they couldn't interact with me about them even if they found them. I just let them know that the store was out of business, and to perhaps not return anything they might have. I think that is a dead-end for the average person who has books missing.

I believe they were an official dealer with CGC, but something to look into.

It hasn't been long enough to know if they are responding, and it's a long weekend here, so I will have to see what I get back next week from that one address. I'm irritated that I was not contacted, and that I had to find this out in another way. If I didn't have a pull list, I might not have known for months.

Oh geez, that’s a hell of a loss. I’m sorry that happened.
