Ya I think Tomega's book X-men 35 is definite "Have a cigar material"

Ya Sterling gradign will always be subjective and with the amount of books that CGC sees there will always be phases from strict to less and back and forth etc, etc

You think the market is about to peak for FFs

Not sure how many people have seen this cover - it was posted a few days ago in Comics General by October_Fire. Its the Alternate cover / unsued cover for Tower of Shadows #1.

your shills have nothing on me..... HOM RULZ

Mike has definitely got a point with respect to the Artwork - IMO the best pure art in the BA is DC Horror. However the Superhero collectors, while attached to the artists, especially Neal Adams - are still superhero collectors. There are no identifiable characters in DC Horror. I know Doug was screaming it from the rooftops and I respect Doug's opinion - I still think that all dealer proclaimations in teh OS guide need to be taken with a grain of salt. I still see the same bidders competign with me in Ebay and in other venues and I have actually seen less presence of a few of the guys that drove the prices up in the last 2 months. They probably have their 1-2 copies and have moved on. DC BA Horror is a grass roots movement in the hobby. There will be no movie, or popular culture extraneous circumstance to bolster the market - thank god for that. And finally I still point to the Pre-Code stuff that has now seen a huge levelling off, besides the key issues. Ask the pre-Code guys about the demand verses price of the filler issues. Take into account that there is more BA than Pre-Code and I think Mr. Sulipa's comment while apt for the moment must be tempered with real time knowledge of the limits of DC BA Horror. Even though I hate to use specifics to generalize - being a BA Horror Guy I still do not go outside the 4 core titles IE HOS, HOM, WWBN and TOD. A few books here and there, but I don't think that the number of completionists for the Witching Hour will ever approach Spiderman or X-Men levels or even 5% of those levels to be realistic.

I don't remember seeing that one on Saturday. Too much vino! Tooo many Avengers

Recently slabbed. I purchased this raw last fall...knew it had a good shot at a 9.8. Top Census!

I also bought two FF#52s recently. I still need an ASM#52. I had to send back a raw VF/NM that I bought recently because it was overgraded. You could have had a nice CGC 9.2 Spidey #52, but you didn't want my book. Cheap [#@$%!!!].

I'm kinda torn on this one - I love all the scans, but seeing all the covers that I've never seen before, especially the Charltons makes me buy more comics. Oh, and I have to give props to the 2 latest additions to the HG raw HOM run that has been 3 years in the putting together. the 290 came courtesy of Red Beard Comics and surprise surprise the 224 is one of Greggy's cast offs.

Ya Pov saw it at WonderCon and agreed that it was a 9.6 for sure. There is one spine stress that does not break color, the LLC looks a lot worse in the scan than in person you could slice bread on the other 3 corners, Even though I bought more expensive books at WonderCon it was my Cherry Pick for Friday morning before the public got there. This one's never coming out.

It occurs to me that I haven't actually thrown up a book in this thread in quite some time. Here are two that made the final cut into my permanent collection.

Is that the Michael Jackson Pedigree - did I type that out loud

Captain America 105 (Boston Copy) raw GS X-Men #1 raw - Its taken me 2 years to pull the trigger on my GSX #1 must have looked at hundreds of them, I am happy to have this one

Can you list the changes of the new inner well please? I do not have a slab with the new design, when did it get instituted?

I happen to think that's a great cover. Yeah, but your English. His English what? My Little Pony. HIJACKING IN PROGRESS - All thats left to make it official is Graemlins from Gre...

Just in case I want dupes, how much for the pair? They are on Ebay

I have a VF copy, but I have a feeling we will be doing business soon.

What grade do you give the 199 it looks a tad better than Donut's, no offense FD

SId that's one of those books you just buy if you see it. Its like one of the books for WW and horror collectors. Put it this way, I own a copy and wasnt specifically on the look out, but if I had seen it for $35 it would still be in CA as opposed to WA - nice pick up congrats.

Well from the Scan it looks a lot nice than the Weird Mystery Tales # 4 that Heros had graded at VF-.

Ya I believe it was Terry that had a few in the VF range at WonderCon as well. Thanks for the information, I guess the search continues.

Hey Rip were you at the dinner, I wasn't even aware you were at Wonder, too bad would have been nice to chat about horror books, I know that Pov Sid and I had some cool conversations.
