Well, I'm guessing the reserve must be pretty darn high! I bid the starting, and then put in my maximum bid, and was told that the reserve had NOT been met, although I was the current high bidder.

I'm guessing this one is going to be tooooooooo expensive for me!

Annnndddd... I was right-- it did not take long to get out-bid, and no one has met the reserve yet.

Why do they keep the reserve secret?

I can't wait to see what this goes for. I tried to bid on it but I can't touch it where it is now. It's over $200 now.

Stan, how many copies do you have???

Stan once mentioned that he has 10 personal copies of Albedo NR 2 stashed away somewhere.

I think I have about 10 or a dozen copies of Albedo #2. I used to bring one each year to San Diego to sell, but stopped when the e-bay prices broke $200.

I don't know which is my most prized comic book. I do have Fantastic Four #4. I also had #2. I do have two copies of the San Diego Gold Edition of Miracle Man #1. TMNT #1 signed by Peter Laird. I have original pages by Steve Ditko, Frank Miller, and Sheldon Mayer.

I don't collect any series. There are a few I buy to read, like Mouse Guard, and almost anything by Guy Davis.

David Petersen and I have agreed to trade color pin-ups next year. I'll probably do an Usagi/Mouse Guard piece.

That should be a really cool pin-up to look forward to...

Mouse Guard is an amazing series!
My local comic shop sells out of it within a day everytime a new issue comes out.
If you aren't getting it, I highly recommend it.

May I ask why you stopped bring the comics to the con once the Ebay sells broke $200?...People would have been unable to afford it? How much would they go for when you sold then at the cons?

I felt guilty selling them at $100, much less $200. However, with the books going for $500-$2,000, I really could not price them at what I was comfortable with. I may start bringing a copy again, just to price it at $999.99.

I read the beginning of Rise of the Axe on the author's website, and i found it looks like LOTR.

It looks great and it is one more comic we don't finfd here. I would have requested an Usagi sketch to David Petersen, but since you have planned to trade some color pinups next year with him, i will wait.

I want a photo of the price tag on your booth !
and a photo after it has been sold !
