Wow, that was...brief.
VARK WARS: WALT'S EMPIRE STRIKES BACK
And there is more High Society than you can shake a baby at.
Oh, and Dave and I talked for an hour and eight minutes yesterday, so:

VARK WARS: WALT'S EMPIRE STRIKES BACK
And there is more High Society than you can shake a baby at.
And Dave's got stuff for Auction. Here's Jeff Seiler:

| Jeff says: "Me answering Dave's phone call while sitting in front of Dave's original art at a private viewing at Heritage Auctions in Dallas today." |
So, over on my Faceybook, I posted this picture:

| Making sure the logo was clear. |
And our very own Margaret asked how she could get one of them fancy shirts.
Short answer is she can't.
I had three made: one for me, one for Jesse Herndon as a thank you for transcribing all the Please Hold videos (what? You thought he did that because he's a really nice guy? I mean, he IS a really nice guy, so he deserves an exclusive shirt...), and one for the box of stuff I need to send up to Dave.
But, than I thought maybe I should get more made. So I asked on the Cerebus Facebook group, and got a positive response.
So here's a better shot of the shirt:
And the logo:
I was thinking of changing the color of the shirt to something else, so the first ones are still unique. The options are:

They also got Women's sizes (if that's what you need.)
The standard price is $21.95 (US), but right now they're 50% off (so $13.95. Sometimes they're even cheaper.)
They're may be a limit on how many I can order, but if you're interested, let me know what size and color (I'm pretty sure I don't have to order just one color.) at momentofcerebus@gmail.com. And, they got other stuff besides shirts, so if you see something you want the AMOC logo on, same deal. I'm not charging anything, so it's their price plus shipping (and I ship for as cheap as I can, anywhere.)

It'd be nice to know the web address for the 'slabbed data' that Dave references, and I was actually thinking of the issue he mentions as the 'most slabbed'.
feather in my cap, I suppose

Steve, Greg Holland also has a slab data web site. Here's a link to the Overstreet Report he posted to slabdata.com, the one Dave alludes to here.

So what I want to know is, why is Matt posing in front of an '80s anti-drug poster?
It's not.
It's a parody poster.
This is your brain
This is your brain on drugs
This is your brain with a side order of bacon
Thanks fellow travelers for the CGC links; that slabdata one is intense!
Do any of these sorts of sites have a free "prices realized" feature?
Steve
Ah. One of my housemates at the time used to respond to the question at the end of that TV commercial - "Any questions?" - with "Yeah, when's breakfast?"
I suppose I should provide some context just in case there's any whippersnappers reading this blog...
Tony: I might be one of the younger visitors here. Yet, I was old enough to remember seeing that "Just Say No" ad growing up.
Steve: No problem. Happy to be of service. Maybe Mr. Holland could answer your query about "prices realized" data?
Waitaminnit - I looked at Brian's link, having no idea what "slabbed" meant, and it's not 100% clear, but it looks like a "slabbed" comic has necessarily been sealed ("encapsulated") and thus rendered unreadable?
What the hell is the point of owning a comic you can never read? Good Lord, what a world I find myself in.
I will you there, Tony. Back boards are about as sophisticated as I am wont to get. I do that only to help me when shipping Cerebus #1s i buy to friends and family. Other wise the comics are for reading IMO.
I am with you there, Tony.*
Tony,
Remember the guy who found the Action Comics #1 in his wall?
And his Mother-In-Law grabbed it out of his hand and ripped the cover?
Which lowered it's value by $5000?
That's why you slab a comic...

(I mean, I'd never do it to my books, but that's why...)
I understand 'slabbing' comics as a third party evaluation of grade, condition, and so on - just as is done with currency, coins, etc.
Most recently (last 5+ years) the great majority of comics I've had graded are the few I have which actually have some value. And I'm investing in the grading for two primary reasons: if I get taking out by the proverbial bus, it'll be easier for my widowed wife to maximize the sale value of the graded comics.
Second, if I do have to sell them for other financial reasons, the ROI of grading makes it worthwhile. (For example: a FF # 52, first appearance of Black Panther; I paid about $10 for it in the early 90's. Graded as a CGC 6.0 with a market value of about $600 - much more than I would get selling the book ungraded.)
