12/31/2016 Topic: missing issues lealew7	I cannot seem to locate this comic set; which i obtained a few copies from the set. It is part of the Star Spangled War Story series by DC. Could anyone assist with my search or could it get put into the CPG database? thank you I am also unable to locate the Rose City Comic Con version of Lady Death's: Wicked Ways #1 with the amazon crystals on the cover. there were only 88 issues made, which i have 17/88, and they all came with Brian Paulido's certification and autograph if requested, which i did thank you again.

1/9/2017 Topic: how can I find the value of my trading cards lealew7	I guess the big question is, what type of trading cards are they? I grew up when trading cards where huge in the 90's from artwork trading cards, sports of all types, pokemon, MTG, Yugi-oh, etc. the list can go on Depending on the type of trading cards, there are several websites that can assist in pricing them out, or your local games/comics/cards shop; if you are at least chummy with them cuz then they won't try to hustle you, just fyi, they all try to do that unfortunately if you are not a local/regular. hope that helps a little. Good luck. If they are more than sports cards, i may be able to find you a good website to start with.
1/13/2017 Topic: Is there a market for comics graded 6.0-8.5? lealew7	i'm pretty sure if the demand is right, an adamant collector would take into consideration that non-perfect or lower graded comics may be the only options they have and yes, it could cause a higher value or request for said comics. there are many ways to find collectors or sell your items if just done correctly and safely of course Good luck and i hope others can assist where i lack since i am still a yearling on this Site; but i'm more experienced with the collecting of Comics and caring for my collection than anything. This site is very educational and helpful in so many ways i can not begin, lol.
1/13/2017 Topic: Story lines Question lealew7	browse that is what i do. I ask around my local shops, check and see what people are searching, and just keeping an eye on how the web market looks with different sets out there. One very popular Comic series is TWD by image. They have several comics that are in the hundreds and even thousands just alone, but with the right run, they can go for some serious cash as a set as well. There are Suicide Squad, Batman/Superman, X-men, New Mutants, Aliens, etc. Even Tarot Witch of the Black rose has some serious money into them as well Good luck!
1/25/2017 Topic: missing issues lealew7	i realized that when i requested the Lady Death Rose City Comic Con variant cover that i have to be added to the data base, it is currently listed as Lady Death: the Wicked. But if you look at the actual cover of the comic, it is called Lady Death Wicked Ways #1, not The Wicked. I don't know if it even matters yet, but shouldn't it be listed accordingly as it shows on the comic cover? thanks
1/30/2017 Topic: missing issues lealew7	the initial printing on the inside of the cover states: lady death wicked ways#1 september 2013 originally published by Chaos...etc. When i can find a camera with better pixelation; i will provide a picture of what my comic has on its inside cover. Needless to say, my comic is what it says it is thank you,
1/31/2017 Topic: I've bagged them without boarding them! lealew7	not to mention, it keeps the comic from rolling on its corners; without back support it will slouch in a sense just the same way magazines do. I keep all my stuff boarded and sleeved for all protection purposes; regardless if i read them or not i like my stuff always in nice condition for possible future sales and just to keep a nice collection edited by lealew7 on 1/31/2017
2/3/2017 Topic: Your Opinion: Most Iconic Covers lealew7	if i post all the pictures of the ones i like, this will go on forever, LOL; but for me, the ones that grab my eye and bring me back to my childhood would be the Marvel movie adaption comic books. Such as Dark Crystal, Indiana Jones, The last Star Fighter, Dune, Dragon Slayer, Blade runner, etc. i strive to locate all these Marvel Movie adapted comics now, they just need to be in my collection
2/9/2017 Topic: Metal Covers lealew7	usually they can be found easier when entered as Foil or Chrome covers, that is usually how they are listed i hope this helps. BTW, some of them are worth money, especially if in great condition and belongs to a KEY character or story-line.
2/9/2017 Topic: Metal Covers lealew7	wow, i love the grimms series that is fantastic and i wouldn't know first hand how to identify that because there are a rare amount of any comics that actually have a metal cover. this would be my first, lol. I hope you are able to find a way to get as close to an accurate pricing as possible, good luck!!
2/9/2017 Topic: Your Opinion: Most Iconic Covers lealew7	the Turok is classic, i have one of these issues as well yay!
2/13/2017 Topic: Grading System lealew7	you would have to take into consideration if any damage has been done to them whilst in the bags, which without opening them you cannot verify if any internal damage has been done to them. Technically there really is no such thing as a 10 mint. It would literally have to go from publishing, handled by no physical fingers/hands (with gloves if handled), bagged instantly in appropriate protective sleeve, and pretty much put into a slab instantly to prevent any future damage at all. This would be considered a 10 if proof could be provided i love to think that my collection holds higher quality as well; but truth be told, most decent collectors either pay to have a near mint 9.8 or so graded comic book or actually have at least 9.4-9.6 for their near perfect individual books. this is really being generous because we think we have it down, then we get them graded and realize that they are not as perfect as we hoped; and i have had to adjust to this reality as the years have come and gone. this is just an opinion on how the grading system works because there are so many opinions on how it "should" work. Hope you find the answers you are looking for though Good luck. Maybe you could even post any of them that have clear packaging.
2/22/2017 Topic: Who's Your Favorite Cover Artist? lealew7	I am a big fan of Steven Hughes, but it is unfortunate that not only does Chaos! comics no longer exist, it is sad to know that such an amazing artist passed away so early. I will keep rockin' your comics and art MR.HUGHES for ever!!
2/23/2017 Topic: Get Out lealew7	I like cast that is set for this movie, and it drew me in after watching the first trailer i'm excited to see this movie because i like not just the typical Horror Genre, but i love psychological thriller/horror movies even more. Monsters are great, if they are actually disgusting/creepy and very nightmarishly inspired we can only see. I did go see the new Resident Evil movie, it was very epic and action packed, so it delivered what i was hoping for; and it definitely has an interesting twist. Enjoy
3/20/2017 Topic: What book U bought at cover price that sky rocket lealew7	First Comic i noticed a big jump from what i paid for was my Tarot: Witch of the Black Rose #1, along with 1 of the few variant covers for just issue #1. I paid like 3 or 4 something for it and now it's up in the $50's. The only other Comic i have that really went up and i didn't realize it would ever do so, was my Walking Dead#1 Variant Michael Golden Wizard World issue that i received just for purchasing a Ticket for the day's event. Now its near $200 for its condition with autograph, but only Raw, not CGC graded at this time I too enjoy finding neat treasures when i least expect it.
3/21/2017 Topic: CGC vs. CBCS vs. PGX lealew7	the primary reason that CGC graded comics go for more is because the company was considered the only company that was acceptable in Grading with accuracy; but these newer companies are starting to give them a run for their money because the time it takes to wait for graded comics from CGC has become insanely long. They are not bad companies, they are just still working on their credibility with the public i hope this is helpful.
3/22/2017 Topic: Trying to decide to have comic autographed or not lealew7	There are a few different factors that will fluctuate within a certain price range when considering getting an autograph or already have something signed by a creator/artist/writer/etc. Not everyone likes to have any blemishes of foreign ink aside from the comic itself; hence why there are no real listings on autographed comics. Another thing to factor in is also who is autographing it like you mentioned, how popular they are as an individual, if the comic is a KEY comic, how popular the comic character and book is; and other factors that will vary on the pricing. When sending in to get it graded, sometimes they can verify the autograph and let a person know if it is actually the correct person doing the signing i hope this is helpful for starters. good luck on your choice.
