GORGEOUS

Hi crew, Picked up a lot from a collector and found several “heartbreakers,” including this phenomenal copy of Daredevil #45 that has a cleanly popped bottom staple. Wondering whether this just turns out to be a qualified grade or something else. Thanks!

Great grab!

This is SO interesting, thanks! And now I am fascinated by one question, if this is a stamp placed by the OO: why is the placement of the stamp on mine so obviously deliberate and the placement of the stamp here so haphazard? EDIT - dead center top front cover is actually haphazard, so never mind!

OH YEAHH the boxer briefs key!

Take please!

Hi @vaillant @Primetime @esquirecomics I asked a friend of mine here about this stamp and they said you all might know. Thanks so much for any info!

I’ve got a copy of this, but someone should grab this! A particularly good issue of these great Marvel Mags!

Nice grab!!

The only reason I was thinking to hide the post is that the comic will soon be listed for sale. It's not a big deal and it is a great thread, thank you! I thought to hide it for the above reason, though. So completely up to you, especially if my lack of experience with having - let alone selling - books like this is making me overly cautious/paranoid/weird.

Hi @CGC Mike - I was trying to find a way to delete this post, but couldn't find the hide or delete options. Is this a moderator only feature. If so, can I request this post be hidden/deleted? Thanks! NM found the hide! EDIT: No, I didn't. Doesn't seem like I can hide the whole thread. Is this something you can do if allowed? Thanks!

my good friend @flying_bison doesn't use a scanner but does take stellar photos as well! I ask him how he does it and he says "I use my phone"

My good friend @flying_bison calls this the poor man’s #5, and I love that

YEEAAAAAAAAAA, BOY! I saw this and thought of you. Glad you nabbed it!

I don't have #15, and am assuaging my FOMO by posting my favorite yellow cover, the one that started it all for me, my beloved copy of Fantastic Four #2 with it's supple pages and peachy interiors. I bought a lot of FF from this collector after this one, and have started calling them the SARGENT BOOKSTORE PEDIGREE in my house

Namor with all that cake on the cover of #14. Every subby cover in early FF is so great. WHAT YOU STARING AT SUE?!

Sure, but please don’t judge me if I drive by your house in a truck full of cigarettes after the sale.

Can’t believe I didn’t react to this previously, bud! Thank you so much. I have to say that in a hobby like this that can easily foster FOMO and a bunch of other crappy feelings, the genuine excitement and generosity of spirit I see every time I share a win is probably my favorite part of collecting (right after getting back a 9.8 on a silver book lol). Truly grateful for all the camaraderie.

Oh thanks! My buddy is the flash guy, but I’ll send these over!

That is a GREAT 5.0. And perfect evidence for what a completely BS grade 4.5 is

Recent pickup! Had been looking for one for a while. Happy w it, obv, but also have come to the conclusion that if 7.5 might be favorite grade to collect, 4.5 might be my least favorite.

Speaking of “alternative editions”, I don’t know if I’ve already shared my absolute favorite green label ever here.

Haha, yes he was like that for a while and even in the new movies. I call him the hirsute hulk. And now I have to share my fave. You guys, look how French l’incroyable Hulk is. I really had to stop myself from buying this when it came up bc I was just floored at the genius of this slight change to a serge gainsbourg hairstyle as a way to totally change him
