Now $175!

I'll take the NM- Web of Spider-Man #1.

Now $200! (I'm going to continue to drop until it sells or I get a nice trade offer.)

(There is a glare on the right side, especially on the bottom right corner, but that looks to be a camera problem.) I can send pictures of the other issues if you'd like.

This is (I believe) the second 1992 JC Penny Marvel Comics variant/reprint set, which includes 20 different comics. I purchased these as part of a larger collection, and these were still in the cardboard box that they were originally shipped by JC Penny's. They are in incredibly nice condition -- never read, never looked at. i'm conservatively grading them at VF/NM, but they are really fantastic. The set includes: Amazing Spider-Man #330 Captain America #241 Captain America #371 Excalibur #27 Fantastic Four #51 Ghost Rider #10 Incredible Hulk #333 Marvel Milestone Edition: ASM #1 Marvel Milestone Edition: Avengers #4 Marvel Milestone Edition: TOS #39 Marvel Milestone Edition: X-Men #1 Namor #8 New Warriors #3 Peter Parker, Spectacular Spider-Man #26 + #27 Thor #312 What If? #4 X-Men #60 + #61 + #245 Price: $250 $200 $175 $150, shipping included (to the US). I will ship internationally, and the cost for that will be based on where/how fast you want them. Payment: Paypal, check/MO, or I'm happy to trade for Bronze Age books (doesn't even have to be keys -- just Bronze Age fun).

This was my first show in 2 years after moving from Chicago. I wasn't fully ready and didn't come with everything I wanted, but I still did great. Fresh meat. I don't think I'm doing August, but I'm going to try and set up every other one.

Didn't we do that with the JLA #1? I think how this was done was fine. The outcome was just not ideal and showed the true colors for a lot of people involved.

Did anyone go? I was debating, but there was just too much stuff going on this weekend.

I'll take the New Gods lot.

I currently have three lots up -- a one-pager from the 70s, a 5-pager from the 60s, and a 2-pager from the very early 50s. I would be willing to do a partial trade (in comics; not art) for any of these auctions, and I have other romance comic art from the 50s through 70s as well. https://www.ebay.com/sch/rcheli/m.html

That was the first convention I ever set up, in the crummy, low-ceilinged hall at the Mighty Con in DuPage County. Oh... those wild, wooly days. The guy to my right, Tony, is @Mutant Manatee.

I'll take it.

Nothing quite like a DuPage Mighty Con show...

So the fact that Ditko possibly breathed on it doesn't matter? And Marvel over other publishers isn't as big of a deal? OK... I think I have a price in mind and hopefully it will sell. Thanks for your input!

Capullo doesn't sell his art? Huh... Anyway, thanks. I have a complete 5-page Al Hartley story from a 1963 issue of Love Romances. I don't particularly care for it and I'm not a big Hartley fan, but I assume it's my most valuable piece because of the completeness and that it's Marvel. (It was also published the same month as Amazing Spider-Man #1, so I can pretty much bet Hartley and Ditko brought their pages into the office on the same day and at the same time, so this is practically like getting an original Spidey #1 story... Right?)

For a couple of years in the early 2000s, I was buying a lot of original art -- mostly 50s and 60s romance pages/stories. Unlike comics, where there are both guides and copious amounts of verified sales for every issue/condition out there, it's difficult for me to find a good guide of where I should be pricing my pages. So my question is, for things that are both not as desirable and not as common, where do you get your pricing? A nice, two-year-old Batman page from Greg Capullo has a lot of comps. These pages, not so much. (I tried to search on the boards here for a similar thread, but the search feature is... lacking.)

I'll take the rest.

I'd be a millionaire... But I'm also not someone who has a desirable signature. Starlin's request may seem unreasonable -- especially asking for the personal information of the customer -- but that could be explained to him to create a much better outcome. "I'm sorry, I can't directly give you their information, but I'll do one of two things. First, I'll try and contact them right now -- perhaps they're still here and I will call their number and they can stop on over. If they're no longer here, I will drop off the money later this afternoon and we will just be reimbursed. Sounds good?"

I agree that he's somewhat to blame, BUT the response by CGC seemed to be cutting off their nose to spite their face. Have someone at CGC pay Starlin the $20 or $40 or whatever, and then contact the person directly and get reimbursed for the unpaid signatures. That person's name would remain anonymous to anyone outside of CGC, and Starlin would get paid.

This is a Canadian version, too. You can tell because it's missing the ID logo as well as just generally crummy printing/color separation. The Canadian Atlas books are cool because they often have different interiors than their American counterparts. It's not in the GCD, either, so this is a new discovery of sorts! Send it into them.

I certainly don't know as much about original art as y'all, but $600 for late Buscema Savage Sword pages seems close to retail, no?

You may want to get your butt over to this estate sale. https://www.estatesales.net/NY/Wantagh/11793/1469607

Buddy needs to hire a designer for that email, because it is the absolute worst. The content is fine, but the layout is haphazard, there a about a half-dozen fonts, font sizes, and colors, and no consistent branding. I emailed them and offered my services, but I haven't heard back from them.

Didn't Topps (or someone) re-release those Batman cards sometime in the late '80s?

I'm going to try my darnedest to make this show.
