After principally collecting silver for a while, I'm astounded at how trash the printing quality of the comics we read were. Even some of the Byrne era X-Men I have now, I look at them and I'm like how could I even tell this guy was great back then?
-
I'm at a 9.0 because of the slight blunting on the corners and the spine ticks. It's hard to see from the pics which are color breaking and which might be pressable. Good luck! It's a great copy!
-
Giving us all hope with that 9.9 on a non-modern book! That's one small grade increment for a collector, one giant leap for the hobby.
-
Also, aside from just giving a number, let me just say this is MY KINDA 6.0! Gorgeous color strike, next to no spine wear. I'll take edge wear any day over spine wear, and personally I'll take a subscription crease over a reader's crease any day! Grade aside, this is a winner, imo! -
Hi gang, I purchased this copy of X-Men 6 and my eyes popped out of my head when it arrived. It's on its way to CGC, so the pics here are what I have, but I hope they're exhaustive enough. Looking for a prospective grade. Thanks!
-
I'm at a 6 as well. I don't know that cleaning/pressing would affect the grade here, but it would certainly make it present better.
-
Right this is the rub. I'm going to try lots and then maybe we arrive at "make a lot". But the "make a lot" falls apart when its like someone claims 5 books, but someone else has claimed one of them and then you have to ask if they want a replacement but in the meantime someone else has claimed another one etc etc.
-
I have done this before, just on a different venue. But thanks! I'll probably list them in batches anyway. I do have all materials ready from when they were listed before though. But I think I'm gonna go with lots of 5-10 books once they get into non-keys and basically above 140 or 150. Thanks for the input!
-
The lot thing is definitely appealing on a lot of levels, I just don’t know how I would break them up since I feel like a lot of this may be individual fill for any one collector. Maybe break the books up by price and have a “make a lot” thing where you can pick books into a lot of X books or X value for one shipping rate or something? The price tiers I think basically follow the series every 25 issues or so. Working title is looking like “CORVONIE’S CONVEYER-BELT SUSHI-STYLE-SALE”
-
Thanks for this! I have photos of each book already from the other listing.
-
Just gotta get the listing together! Couple more questions since I have you here: 1- better to make two listings (one bronze, one copper), or a mixed ages thread? I feel like I don’t look at mixed age threads much, but what about other folks? 2. In the other venue, prices usually include shipping. For here, i think it’s better to list books cheaper and have shipping info up top, and include info about bulk shipping?
-
Thanks so much for this!
-
Hi, I’m looking at listing about 150 comics here (a large amount of the Claremont run of X-Men). When I listed in another venue, I used a google sheet and Imgur. I am guessing I need to list each issue here in its own post as that’s the usual format? Just wondering if there’s a different, more efficient way to list them all, since many are $10 or below. Thanks!
-
Ha, sure!
-
Did you already own this AE or did I just score a convert?
-
I’m not gonna live-post through this read as part of my mission to convert as many people as possible to loving artist editions as much as I do, but last observation (not a promise) - the amount of pages in an annual brings back the half-and-full-page panels aplenty! Like this stunner that looks like 2 half-page panels but is a full page.
-
Alex Toth who? I love these in black and white bc I can find things that really show how Kirby can really do it all.
-
Just realized I recently picked up a reader copy of annual 6! Gonna dig in tomorrow!
-
This is a gorgeous book! Great grab, Preacher!

Jaysus Mary and Joseph!

I tried to buy this from OP before they slabbed it! Anyone getting this copy is getting the absolute best case scenario for a purple label, imo. The restoration lab and Susan Cicconi are legends. GLWTS @podolsky! -
Take please!
-
Wow, What a great copy!
-
That one is on my reading list too.
