  1. Marvel 1 is very cyclical. Periods where supply appears ample and periods (like now) where supply seems limited. It is the first marvel but the book has taken a back seat to action, detective, superman, batman and even captain America among its own ranks. Whats the rough guesstimate on the C-cnect sligth (P) copy? Unfortunately book I have interest in I don't tip my hat

  3. There is plenty of supply of mf54 relative to demand. It has managed to hold value in higher grades but has slipped in lower grades as most all mf comics have (73 an exception at the moment) I used to try to keep 1-2 copies but as demand has dwindled, I have not sought to have any longer Action 23 is supes/lex. It will hold up better than mf54
  4. Baltimore in sept might be best Choice. NYcc is biggest but a madhouse and expensive to attend If you are more south then Heroes in June would be a good choice Atlanta in may/June is first time I'm setting up so can't comment
  5. The market has ready spoken that it is not too significant
  6. More fun 55 has always been a cool book. Dr fate's first cover (56) is a better book to me, but with his fa in 55, if he were to somehow become a featured dc character, both those books have potential I used to stock action 23 deeply (3-5 copies at all times). It went into a period of flatness last few years but always has demand. Again, nothing really to ignite it at this point, just a cool early action ...I mean lex Luther has been done to death in movies , etc.
  7. Go stand in the corner Strictly from an artistic perspective, there can be too much stuff going on in a cover to fully appreciate the central characters. Schomburg was magnificent at producing action packed covers, but some occasionally veer off into being overly busy. That doesn't make me love 'em any less, but my personal faves feature the main characters as the center of interest, not lost in the action. Of course, everyone's mileage varies. So whats your "ask gator" question. What's your mileage? platinum level
  8. It was 35 degrees and windy. Cold is just the tip of the iceberg.

  14. Ah. I see. I missed "cap" Cap 46, 3 and prob 26

  16. Terrific 5 Mmc46 Brick Bradford 6 : suspense 3, all select 2, startling 53
  17. I turn sigs off, I find it distracting too Then how do you know to find me books I need!

  19. should have clarified...I still lump SA in, and as you mentioned, those are pence covers produced at the same time as the US covers, with identical interiors (originals)... GA, are predominantly BW reprints, I believe, correct?
