And it came out in 64.

Add another zero and MAYBE.

I'm in full agreement about 80's books... but even today, you can hoard some GA and SA and realize nice price growth (thumbs u Agreed. There are "run" books (Read as non-key) that are exceptionally difficult to find that bring nice gains on overstreet and even GPA. Some examples: All Select 3 and 4 USA Comics (Nearly any issue...) I guess one could make the case that most of these are WWII "covers", but outside of that, the deman factor is what has caused the price surge. There just aren't enough copies to go around.

I would say a resounding "no" to 99.9999% of 1980s books I'd say pretty much the same thing about 99.9999% of all books. golden age there are some 300 really "blue" chip type books...that works out to about 1.3% (so 98.7% would not be good horading candidates)... I think it is a little higher for silver age (about 2%)... but for all other eras, 99.99 works fine (thumbs u I was qualifying that with "now while they are cheap". Of those 300 books, how many would you say are "cheap"? Even by YOUR standards. It would be awesome to hoard Actions 1s, Bats 1, Det 27 and even AF15s. But they could hardly be called "cheap". Maybe 3 Please PM me those 3.

The 123 looks ridiculously undergraded. Might be something on the back, but that is one clean 123...

AF15 is a much better future bet then the '52 Mantle . With Spider-Man he is gaining new fans every year with block buster movies, video games, action figures, Ipad apps and a new hit Disney show, while Mantle`s audience is dying off. I agree with this wholeheartedly. (thumbs u

Mr. Zero would I think just barely make the top ten. Off the top of my head there's: Joker Catwoman Penguin Riddler Scarecrow Poison Ivy Two Face Clayface I agree mostly. What about Ras al Ghul? Or is this just silver/gold villains? If so, carry-on. Also, Clay Face above Mr. Freeze is pretty debatable too.

Niiice! Congrats and welcome to the club!

Good lord! That book has such deep inks it looks wet!

.... My goal is to have Stan Lee 'deface' all of his key books. I'm only missing 4 until I complete my goal Why??? Don't you know what his sig looks like by now??? Stop the madness!!! Keep the originals Blue and, if you have too, have REPRINTS defaced - see my sig line Yes, I cannot understand why anyone would ever get a book signed... I still will say a prayer every night that Stan Lee will forget how to sign his name soon. Each to their own. Some people would say it's nuts to seek out obscure 50s Atlas books.

Yeah, that's silly. That looks better than my 4.5.

Wow. That "X" really did a number on the grade of that book. Looks VFish otherwise. Perfect kind of copy to me.

Meaning it can't be a Kirby SS.

No offense intended, Bob. It is complete speculation. I've removed my comment.

Very cool! Love it!

wow! Don't see those that nice everyday.

Definite premium. Some people wont buy it because it's SS, but the ones that will, will pay more for it. I know I would.

Someones been drinking again... 2.0 looks to be a stretch... But possible. 3.5 is la-la land.

Looking at your sig line, now I see where one of the signed Infantino Strange Adventure 205s in 9.2 resides. I've got one of the next highest graded in 8.0. Very nice book, congrats! And I agree with your sentiment as well.

Damn good start... Congrats!

It is kosher but not wise if you want to resell. I know I never care what someone else paid, only what I have to pay to get it.
