Odds and Ends

Vader…Definitely Vader

Kanan 1 in green paint pen.

Vader in red paint pen would look cool.

eBay global shipping is coming to Canada in Oct. Won’t change things too much for me as the majority of the time I won’t be using it but I guess it is useful for shipping to some countries that I don’t normally do like China or Australia for example. Will make it easier.

I don’t get it, I already have used eBay global shipping to send stuff to Canada.

EDIT: Oh, you mean you can ship stuff from Canada. That’s what I get for not clicking the link and commenting first.

This is in response to US getting rid of their de minimis exemption, which I am assuming that most Americans are not aware of, and comes into effect August 28. Since there currently was no duty paid by the US importer if it was under $800, Canada Post could ship very cheaply into the US, cheaper than even sending it within Canada. This was because there was no custom broker needed for the de minimis exemption shipments. Now that it has been eliminated for all Americans a broker is required in order to ship anything to the US. Prices to ship to the US are about to triple in price.

Ebay International shipping is coming now, since no one would use it before, Canada Post was a third of the price, but now it will be competitive with everyone else, including Canada Post, because of the extra customs and taxes being placed on shipments. Luckily Canada Post is still cheapest for anywhere else in the world.

Did someone say “De Mini Me’s?”

(This is what most Americans heard, or thought of, when reading this…so, yeah they don’t know about it)

De Mini Me’s strike again!

You all see that Image tried to send shops a thank you variant for the Invisible Man 1 that was entirely blank, but accidentally sent them a printed version. Talk about ruining the punchline.

Kind of pissed me off that mine must have gotten pulled. I wanted the error copy. Lunar had mine listed on the packing list but it wasn’t in the box. They’re sending replacement Thank You copies next week.

Would be kind of fun to get sketches inside the cover of various monsters or something…

Sounds like something Bad Idea would do.

@joe
Honestly, I think those are all fantastic picks
If I were to choose, I think I’d go the White Clone one as, with the right color & placement…would be very cool.

I don’t know if you’ve even met R. Steham, but incredibly nice guy. From my area & I’ve been lucky to hang out with him after cons.
He has such a diverse an incredible amount of work that sometimes isn’t as well known other. Lots of choices there… obviously he gets faced with signing Venom & Knull mostly.but a ton of options.

Ya’ll, my girl Taylor and Travis Kelce are engaged! The wedding is gonna be lit! I’m mad she didn’t text me first before they put it on social media, but I’m happy for them.

Yeah, it’s not a “maximize value” for this. I just like getting a book signed by creators I like for the PC, so I’m leaning Avengers or Vader. Those covers are a little simpler, which makes sigs jump a bit more.

Haven’t met Stegman. I’m struggling a bit to find the right cover for him to sign. Love his work, but it’s just usually busier. I hate to stick to the obvious ones, but this one has such a good signature spot over the skulls.

or maybe this:

Cool. Travis and his girlfriend. Lucky gal!

Can someone recommend a decent Pokemon identification / pricing app for mobile? Thanks!

Don’t do it. Don’t abandon comics and go to the dark side…

LOL, nah, just going through a backlog of Pokemon pickups from the last few years to price for the shop.

FYI:

If you use BCW bags, and specifically silver age resealables, they are back-ordered until mid-sept. Amazon is out, and so are my shops. Damn it.

I’m going to have to buy some non-resealables and use tape like cavemen did with their comics. Ugh. Just say no to taped bags.
