  1. That's great! I forgot that he did those early Shang Chi books!.

  3. CGC is very hard on books with water stains. I personally wouldn't buy it because it will be hard to resell if you ever decide to.
  4. My guess is a clean and press should bring it up to an 8.0. The corners look too rounded to grade higher, but I'm no expert on CGC's grading methods.
  5. I don't believe in key bumps so 5.5. I like the date stamp on the front page. Very cool!
  6. Since you were never really a collector, I just want to remind you to be very careful when handling books in high grade like this one. One little paper bend or a finger smudge can make a big difference in value.. A copy of this book graded at 9.8 recently sold on ebay for $400.00 dollars whereas a 9.6 sold for around $120.00. This book might have a chance at a 9.8. Be very careful with it and protect it well if you mail it in to be graded. Good luck!!
  7. That is a pretty big crease on the back. I would grade it 8.0.
  8. Edge wear, rounded corners, creases, and staple wear. I would estimate 7.0. maybe 7.5.
  9. I guess the only Cherry Poptarts I will be able to find will be at Ralphs Market. Oh wait.... MyComicshop has them! Yay!!
  10. My thoughts as well. its 9.4 as is, but those creases can be easily pressed out.
  11. My copy is white. It does appear that it is color rub as stated above.
  12. I wonder how many people marry MJ inserts into other books. I have a lot of Arak and Orion books that don't need them anymore.
  13. Hoo boy. Even sellers are going crazy!! UNCANNY X-MEN #141 CGC 9.3 - DAYS OF FUTURE PAST!!! NOT CGC 9.8!!!! | eBay
  14. As with any book. You buy the book you can afford at the highest grade possible. Why did the hobby turn into the stock market? Prices will drop eventually, but by how much? What if the next Venom movie stinks? What if it is better that the last one? Why is collecting sooo hard!
  15. I'm guessing your too young to know what comics on the comic rack looked like back in those days.
