Ant-Man

So if a packaged was last scanned on 4/09 (west coast), and hasn’t been seen since, should I be worried?

X-Men #94 CGC 9.0 

$875.00

I remember a separate program for reporting mutants (in the 90s?), and I believe I threw a co-worker or two under the bus.

Sales have been great today.  I may be at a record for amount of key books sold on Friday at a con.  A lot of interest in precode also.  Feel free to stop by booth 1506!  We have the “In A Pickle“ lights above our wall.

Thanks for the X-Men 130!

Haven't bought from Terry in a while, but my recently purchased slab was shipped timely and well-packed. Would certainly do business again.

The Gothic Romances/Tales of Love books are next on the list.

The next ten is where we see many of the familiar titles listed so far:

From an Overstreet perspective (their pricing of raw, 9.2), I believe most, if not all, of the top 10 would come from the Mickey Mouse Magazine title. After that, many of the books are larger, "magazine-sized" format from the Golden Age, which may or may not qualify as a magazine (not my area of expertise):

FF #3

Overstreet's list of the Top 25 Bronze books is incorrect for the second year in a row now. Same goes for their expanded Silver, Copper & Modern lists. I'm sure Gold has some errors too, but I don't watch that one as closely. This is sad on a few different levels.

I believe the largest % gains in the Silver Age were Rawhide Kid #17 (150%), Blackhawk #133 (100%) and Linda Carter, Student Nurse #1 (66.67%). None are in the top 50, but on a pure % basis, they did well. My pick to show (continued) significant gains is Tales Of Suspense #52.

It's a shame that a list as short as the top 25 Bronze books was only correct through #15. Even so, my picks are books that currently sit outside of the true top 25, but could make the jump (ASM #101 and Tomb Of Dracula #10, with 'Tec #400 as a longshot).

I agree that the picture above is not indicative of overall foot traffic. It was never elbow-to-elbow, and certain sections were busier than others, but I never got hit by a tumbleweed. If you've been to WW Chicago, this con was in the hall where folks pick up their wristbands and line up.

I had a two-day pass with early access, so I got in before many of the dealers were fully set up. I was looking for early Marvel SA, and got a nice TOS from Comic Interlude. I thought the dealers had a decent selection, just not the ones I needed. I see this as encouraging for future(?) shows. I also got about 30 books from Hector.

I don't get autographs, or do much in Artist Alley, so 1 full day would have been enough for me. If you enjoy flipping through $0.50 - $5.00 boxes, I think it was well worth the $10 admission that Groupon was offering. Saw quite a few folks making stacks of books. Cosplay was at a minimum. Other than Jake "The Snake" Roberts and Dave & Busters, it was a comic book show.

Tickets were being offered through Groupon. Not sure if they are still available.

And the Hero Initiative edition

The spiral-bound BIG BIG edition

The Hall of Fame edition

Two regular editions

Does Preacher #1 still command a few dollars?

This is absolutely my recollection. Spider-Man was hot because of McFarlane, and everyone wanted a 298. I picked up a 298 at a country grocery store, ended up trading it to a buddy for his 300, because that seemed like the more interesting book to me. I was in middle school, so that would have been around 89 or 90?

Agreed. I wasn't buying ASM at the time, but I knew to pick up #298 because of Todd. I even grabbed Incredible Hulk #330 for the same reason. ASM #300/Venom was not a consideration. It was about the artist, the crazy webs flying all over the place & the seemingly impossible positions in which Spidey would wide up.

Season 2 drop on Friday, Jan. 18.
