Yeah, I’d try to make this bug slab as public as possible. Take it to Instagram, take it to the YouTubers, take it to Facebook groups, take it to the CBCS board, hell, even take it to Bleeding Cool.

I don’t want to make a big deal out of it but may post on ebay just for the fun of it.
Happy Birthday to me. Going to crack it open as it has the old scratched holders. Might press and send it to CBCS for regrade. It looks clean for an 8.0

Really cool pickup birthday buddy. Happy birthday to you too.
This wasn’t a crazy deal I suppose, but I really like the cover & it cost me $50 total at a local shop who just happened to be doing an Instagram sale live, so I couldn’t resist.

Just got these back. All available if anyone is interested. I bought the NYX 3 at King Kon a month ago as a 9.2 
The Venom First Host is slowly rising. I had a copy already and bought another at the show.
The Daredevil 9 was bought at the same show. Still sitting in a box at the end of the show for $40, don’t think anyone realized it was a newsstand. My friend actually found it and didn’t realize it either. He was gonna put it back but I told him to get it and I’ll make him at least a few hundred bucks on it lol. The whole top row up until the DD9 are his, but also available for sale.

Just curious - how is the “bending” going?
Have they corrected the problem yet after 1.25 years?

Some had a slight banana bend while a few others had a newer left to right curve. Nothing obvious and no damage to the books but it’s clear they need a new slab/slabbing system.

Really? Oh there is hope. There is a chance for no damage.
That was a gamble with that cover…

I remember selling tons of copies of this, raw, for $30-40. Those were the days.

I remember the rally cry: “High Republic is a long term hold”.
I’m still holding

The buzz around High Republic and that cover surely was fun. I’m guessing we’re all still holding onto a pile of those books. Oh well.

I remember loading up on the first two phases till I figured out this was going nowhere by the time phase 3 released. Now when I’m at a show and someone pulls these out of my $2 bins I get excited to see these go. Maybe in 20-30 years we will all be kicking ourselves for letting these go, but who cares at that point.
