How do I post that I’m looking to buy any of these covers: Action Comics #9, Detective Comics #34, and Mystic Comics #7? I have the coverless, and want covers to ‘marry’.

Will CGC be there accepting submissions for sure?

CGC 4.5 sold on eBay, 2/18/203 by Gary Dolgoff for $3000, 2/21 CGC 4.0 for $2125, 3/11 CGC 3.5 FOR $2125; market has crashed since it's pre-Black Panther 2 movie heyday; probably folks who got those comics for pennies on the dollar, and/or need the money. eBay update (CGC): 6.5, 4/28 = $3651; 5.5, 4/23 = $3051; 3.5, 4/30 = $1520 (interesting to note, saw it listed for $5500 before Black Panther 2, and the dealer commented "Sure; it's a little over-priced"). Heritage Auctions update (CGC): 4.0, 4/24 = $2280; 4.5, 4/17 = $2640; 5.0, 4/10 = $3360; 7.5 (white pages), 4/1 = $9600

Make an FF movie 'Kirby' style: Action, Sci-Fi, and great story. https://kirbymuseum.org/blogs/effect/jackmagic/ https://slate.com/culture/2022/09/fantastic-four-marvel-full-circle-alex-ross.html This link to Hickman's Secret Wars is the recipe for making a Marvel blockbuster movie too. https://readfullcomic.com/secret-wars-issue-1/ Stan Lee used to tell his artists, “Draw like Kirby!”; he meant, “Take the same dramatic approach as Jack.” Lee recognized the fact that Kirby had developed an almost perfect comic book formula. These days, few editors stress the use of Jack’s technique, and I believe the business suffers for that. Jack Kirby “wrote the book” on comics, but it seems nobody wants to “go by the book” any more.

Further updates on this mag (3/31/2023): FF#4 CGC 6.5 currently selling on eBay: Auction start $4,299 + $60 shipping on; Heritage has a CGC 7.5 at $5,280 (includes 20% buyer's premium) currently, auction closes Apr 1, 2023, and many other CGC & 'raw' coming up for auction. At the height of Namor movie speculation, dealers were placing a CGC 3.5 at $5000-5500, and lately are lucky if they get $1850. I've noted that prices are getting slightly 'bullish' again, as most conservative sellers are not looking to give this book away(not that desperate for money). pemart1966 and Dr. Balls are SO RIGHT-see their comments below. This link is great too. https://comicbooked.com/revisiting-90s-speculative-boom-nearly-ended-comic-book-industry/

https://bigapplecc.com/ The CGC has been there in the past: Will they be there for 2023 accepting submissions? Anyone on this thread aware?

Agreed. Some of latest data from February & March 2023 proves the downward trend: eBay ( 2.0 = $900, 2.5 + $1,300, 3.5 = $2,125, 4.5 = $3000); Heritage ( 4.5 = $2,280, 5.0 = $3600)

Thinking about selling this and buying an unrestored; while the market is low. I had vintage comic fever the night I bought it; is this not too bad as far as restored goes? I've since learned the effect of the 'purple label' on value; but this is a beautiful book! I'm a 55year-old, humble kid reclaiming his youth; & learning the hard way.

Post 'Subby' movie appearance, FF#4 prices have crashed: Saw a CGC 4.5 go for $3000 from Dolgoff on eBay, then another CGC 4.5 go for $2280 on Heritage. Will this book make a comeback? What do you think are the causes of the 'crash'?

You sound like an honest dealer. I edited my original post after some long thoughts; and I do understand there is more than one point of view: In this case, specifically, buyer and seller. Moreover, I get how a seller has to contend with eBay's 13% fee, among the myriad of other issues involved with running a business-as you pointed out in your post: I'm sure it's very involved. So if I offended, it was unintentional , and I apologize. However, I felt I made fair offers, and raising the price $500 after showing interest, and after coming back willing to pay what he wanted days earlier, was very frustrating. In addition, the higher the price the more tax added on to the final sale price. I was just looking to get the book for a fair price.

Wow: Well said! Born in 1968: Growing up, comics were all we had! I attribute great comics for building my imagination & creating an escape from the hardships of life. If you're saying I have a romance with comics, you're right. As I proceed through the 'Fall' of my life, the nostalgic love for great, old comics(their smell, look.. the hunt for one you always wanted) makes me feel alive and young; and that romance will surely continue into the 'Winter' of my life. This may seem silly and corny to some, but for those of you who love vintage comics, I think you can relate. When I see a comic like FF#4 or ASC#7, I feel good-so call me a romantic. If you're simply implying I should buy some GA romance comics, that's not my 'cup of tea'.
