Steranko Batman--Original art or a print?
L'Angelo Misterioso replied to L'Angelo Misterioso's topic in Original Comic Art
What's the most reliable way to get in touch with Heritage? I've previously inquired about a celebrity autograph and got radio silence. -
Are falling prices creating "deals" for you?
L'Angelo Misterioso replied to 2Sunny's topic in Comics General
I'm primarily interested in golden age, so there aren't really any "deals" to be had, unfortunately. -

Link? -
Truth be told, I'm not a fan of most of the Fear/Crypt/Vault covers, but these stories are still the most fun I've had reading comics

Super Patriotic Heroes List and Pics
L'Angelo Misterioso replied to Professor K's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
I've recently been interested in these Red Blazer covers. All-New #10 is also great. Is this #7 your copy? -
I dare say it's one of the best comic book covers ever. Nailed the look of a traumatized soldier, and the lighting and shading is awesome

Hundreds of "Photocopy" listings on eBay
L'Angelo Misterioso replied to Kramerica's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
Yep, this has to be the best place to buy these. The few transactions I've had here have been perfect. People pack better here, grade better, and offer fair prices. Even though the turnover rate of prime golden age books is low (this is one reason that collecting golden age is totally different from collecting bronze or even silver age), enough nice golden age comes through here that you can amass a very nice collection if you only buy on the boards. What I'm saying it's not just dreck that people get rid of here, it runs the gamut of all golden age. Underscoring this. I have no idea what the goal is with these prices that are in many cases DOUBLE what the going rate is. I'm not sure if it's because amateurs find a 10-cent comic and automatically assume it must command a +$800 price, or if it's experienced dealers who set farcical prices in hopes of luring buyers who aren't experienced with the golden age market. When I found in my house the comic that kicked off my interest in comic collecting, Haunt of Fear 17, I thought I was rich because, well, everyone was putting up mid-grade copies on the Bay for like $1,500. It is worth nowhere near that in 3.0-5.0, and those listings are probably still up to this day, because no one will pay that much for a relatively common EC book such as that one. I hadn't yet learned that the sky-high asking prices are a bad yardstick. -

L'Angelo Misterioso replied to Kramerica's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
Yes I've noticed this too when browsing eBay, and it's just another thing that convinces me to not buy golden age on that platform -
The HA War Comics Showcase Auction
L'Angelo Misterioso replied to tabcom's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
Have war comics historically been slept on in the hobby or have they been a close third to costumed heroes and horror with respect to interest? The prices realized at this auction surprised me, but I have not been collecting comics for that long. -

L'Angelo Misterioso replied to L'Angelo Misterioso's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?

L'Angelo Misterioso replied to tabcom's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
If only I were into funny animals and westerns instead of the actually cool comics! -

Nominating BronzeAgeStar68
L'Angelo Misterioso replied to Captain Crash's topic in Marketplace Probations
Probably already been dealt with by Mike in some way, but yeah this case is definitely cut and dry. And I highly doubt this user will ever return -

Superman #1 CGC 3.0 resto removed?
L'Angelo Misterioso replied to clarkkentdds's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
As someone relatively new to this hobby, its hangup over restoration, especially for golden age books, is rather annoying
