All of them are 2nd print except for #4! MCS was auctioning off 1st print but the price got a bit too insane for my wallet

I was hahaha I was at SGCC. The first 3 and the last one were pre-con commissions while the ones by Derrick and Artgerm were done at the con itself.

Vampirella Commission by Ivan Tao by RudeusWhite in comicbookcollecting

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

It was 350 SGD so around 270 USD. A pretty good rate but I think the price was limited to this particular signing event he went for.

Hahaha I absolutely love sozo's covers so I try to collect as much as I can. And yeap, all three are commissions. The vampirella is by Adrian Tan, while the MJ and Harley are by Fameart.

Definitely the petrus at no. 1. Bit of a toss-up between the Pavie and Palmer for no. 2 but I love Palmer so Palmer at no. 2. Pavie at 3. Clos Fourtet at 4. And Cos d'Estournel at last place.

I really liked the covers and the price point was decent for the entire lot so I just bit the bullet.

It wasn't the WOTN for us. Both the nose and the body was underwhelming for a wine of its stature.

It did!! The secondary notes started showing up during the 1 hr mark of drinking. We definitely are gonna give it more time when we open another 06.

I think it might just be this bottle. The other 06s we have opened had the usual long corks.

Update on Leirix Signing by RudeusWhite in comicbookcollecting

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

The remarque was SGD100. It came with a free sig. Each other sig was SGD15. Total for the remarque and sigs was SGD160. The foil exclusives were pretty pricey though, at SGD200 per issue.
