    thought I saw Steve B post he had gotten the book in via heritage for a consignor...maybe I mis read?
  2. G.A.tor
    Anyone know why the consignor to heritage had the book sent to CBCS vs CGC (just curious)
  3. G.A.tor
    good point...I wonder how the owner was able to flip the book over so evenly, to equally fade both sides (of just the red, mind you)
  4. G.A.tor
    The back cover is also absent of red. That tells me not faded but actually low/no red ink

    Many of the pre arrow funny pages are rarely seen (and probably rarely collected too )

    Funny Pages 2/6 first issue published under the Centaur publisher

    Also remember every other time I sold I then proceeded to successfully put the run back together (I think 4-5x). We all "collect " differently for a myriad of reasons.

    Market is cyclical for sure and I do recycle money to books to money, etc that said I buy and sell comics because I enjoy it...Its fun, can be profitable and I do try to time the market (or even make a market) if I can But I like the challenge every bit as much ...typically once I've owned I'm ok selling (hopefully profitably, though many times not).

    Always miss comics ive sold that enjoyed collecting ... just not willing these days to pay what I consider unrealistic to sustain prices

    I sold all mine. I think they will likely still appreciate, but I was not comfortable in this market holding them , so got out bc made sense to me

    There are varying degrees of marvel chipping. Kind of like slight vs extensive. While any mc should affect value, the more chipping the lower the value

    I've been touting no mc , better eye appeal books for as long as I've been a reseller. That 5.0 looked better than many 7.0s. (Bc stains kept technical grade down). Mc copies will continue to lag behind non mc copies. They really always have , but the spreads were not as noticeable as they are in today's accelerated pricing.

    Funny Pages 2/5 5th D Ryan funny animal themed cover that started volume 2 interesting to note that these 5 Ryan covered issues were actually published under the Ultem banner (post comics magazine and pre centaur )
  16. G.A.tor
    Ok. I'm technically challenged...will try it
  17. G.A.tor
    We expect it to sell for fmv. We don't expect it to sell at an eye appeal premium

    All I know is the windows scanner settings stink. Scans made on my microtek which used to be wonderful are dull and lifeless now
  19. G.A.tor
    I knew it was something along those lines

    Wonder Woman tries to teach about being healthy ...or something like that.
  21. G.A.tor
    But of course
  22. G.A.tor
    I haven't found Art a batman 1 yet, but I'm always on the lookout !
  23. G.A.tor
    Yikes. I hope no one would place an eye appeal premium on that copy
  24. G.A.tor
    Wish Windows 10 supported microtek scanner drivers. Ugh. Photo is not easy
