Surprised how interesting episode 4 continues to be. Nice intro to Wildcat, costume, first test of powers a la ASM movies.

What channel is it on?

By intercourse you mean verbal discussion.

It's the best kind of intercourse.

Or at least that's what he tried to tell Carol after blurting out the name in the middle of intercourse.

STAR SAPPHIRE YOU DOLTS!

She could almost be #1. Sinestro couldn't get away with half the stuff she does!

Any preference as to which team?

Silver Age original?  Days of Future Past line-up?

I love the original Brotherhood but they are probably too closely linked to Magneto, so I will settle for the Mystique led crew.

Can I vote for the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants?

The writer who decided his Eskimo Inuit? Yupik? sidekick should be called Pieface.

Richie Rich Cash #1 - 1st appearance of the diabolical Dr. N-R-Gee! He once cleverly snuck into Rich mansion by disguising himself as a floor lamp and having himself delivered. I was seven years old when my mom bought me this comic (for ten cents) at the used book store.

Reminder to those who have picked up at least one book (and who haven't claimed 2 stickers yet), there are still 16 stickers left to be freely claimed (see Page 1 for what's left) ...

I will take Black Widow and Medusa if available. Thanks!

Buyers who use GPA to gauge value also need to remember that not all CGC graded comics are created equal. Comics in the same grade (ie 9.4) can have different PQ, miswraps, writing on cover, etc. So a perfectly centered white-paged clean copy can easily command more than many recent GPA sales.

And sometimes a seller just knows a comic is worth more than recent sales show. About 3 years ago a beautiful CGC 9.2 FF 49 was listed for sale at about 25% above GPA. Before I could even think about lowballing the seller another boardie jumped on it. The comic has tripled in value since then. Made the same mistake on a mid grade FF #5. 

I like to list my comics at 20% above what I am looking for (at least GPA) so boardies can haggle the price down and feel like they got a bargain.

Picked up my original copy of this book from the Passaic Book Center. Finally upgraded after all these years! 

Those tiny monster heads remind me of Madballs!

When I saw the title I thought for sure this was another Trump thread.

Last book of the thread ... Fantastic Four 48, 4.5-5.0ish, with room for improvement; had it priced lower in previous threads but this book just keeps rising; on the hunt for a higher grade so I’m letting this one go; $1050.00.

Currently sitting on a deck and enjoying a beverage.  So no comics until early this evening 😀

 

Now that's how a true Canadian celebrates July 1st (the closest I'll get to fireworks is a few craft ales on the patio). Happy Canada Day!

I think I'll take it as a curiosity piece at this point, so that maybe I can learn more about restoration.  The staple placement looks weird, if that was actually monkeyed with, and I want to examine the trimming.

 

Normally with this issue I look for copies like the one shown below, with the cover aligned to show the sole of Thor's boot (often cut off) touching the bottom of the page, which should leave approximately 1/4" of red above the letterhead. On this "file copy" issue half of the toe of Thor's boot is missing and there is minimal red above the letterhead - I would guess this comic has been heavily trimmed top and bottom. Still a decent deal at the price paid though and one I was tempted to pull the trigger on myself despite the obvious (and duly noted) hatchet job.

Batman Beyond Free Special Origin Issue (Q)NM (store stamp) $25

Johnny Quest #5

FF 243 - 244

JLA #64

Glad you were able to win one of the books for your collection.  That Thor is an especially good win, because it's an unattributed Suscha News pedigree copy.  It's also got history on the Boards - I bought it from Batmiesta, who had it reholdered and let me know it had come from the premier picture frame Marvel collection of them all.

So if I ever get it reholdered I can just give CGC your number and they will add the pedigree?
