Love those Catmans......

Used to collect baseball cards but stopped in the late 90's, Collect Star Wars Stuff sometimes and Movies(DVD, Laserdisc, TV versions w/ alt scenes)

Ah you deserved it........

Thanks I've been looking for that HTF DC 100 pager for a while

Show us a scan when you get it!

I had a strong F+ that I sold years ago. That book was my first major $$$ comic purchase.

A few thanks over the last month of people who have helped me tackle books from my top 10 list.

Metropolis Comics, cgcfan and mr007 Thanks guys!!!!

(Hopefully after the holidays I'll be thanking a couple more)

Not sure.....

But here's a pic of the cover

Thats Subby 31 GA

It could add WAY more than 3k to the value if you have a high grade copy.

Dr. Banner rocks again with perfect grading on a VF/NM WW 200!!!

At the Mountains of Madness

Here's another pulp. I think this one has been extra hot lately because of the upcoming movie.

Kudos to Banner. The ONLY forum member who's given me a raw book within 4 grades of what he said it was. He's a dead on grader. Thanks.

How about a pulp

Hey that's what I'm here for. I'm the arbitrator of taste and value.

Advice to live by.

1. Sell the books that mean the most to you.

(If they mean a lot to you, they must mean a lot to someone else... right??)

2. Set records by spending the most ever on a book.

(You just set the new going rate, now you dictate the price,... right??)

3. Sell your rarest books first.

(These are worth the most, so get lots of money for em. Don't worry you'll get em again)

4. Buy lots and lots of all the latest "hot books". The larger the print run the better.

(Higher print run means more people like em therefore they go up in value)

5. Don't collect what you like, collect what other people like.

(Who cares what you like? What matters is who you can impress.)

6. Store your comics in your hot garage or leaky storage shed.

(Comics love heat, it keeps them hot and fresh, they also love extreme tempature changes)

7. Never send books through the mail with a backing board or cardboard support.

(Do you know how much money that adds up to?)

8. Never pay more than what Overstreet says.

And, if you can find a book for less than guide, buy it FAST

(Overstreet prices are never wrong and are very scientific. Never mind the first 1/4 of the book)

9. Don't read your books EVER!

(You might damage them, but if you do happen to have that craving, then buy it slabbed first)

10. Don't question a dealers grading system.

(He's been doing it a lot longer than you, so take notes)

Very helpful, interesting, thanks. I've had somewhat of a tough time getting open the outer case, but its that inner plastic that really freaks me out.

Hey I've got a question along the same lines....

When you open your slabs, what the best way to do it?

Opening these things ain't easy!!!!
