Ouch, but their premiums will deter buyers..... no it won't. Bidders (most at least) understand that you simply factor in the BP into the price. So if one is willing to pay 25k they bid 21k +BP =25k. True, but that buyers premium has always deterred me from bidding. They make money off both end, which is fine if it works, but I wish the book was on CL and not there. True, the heritage system only hurts the seller, not the buyer.

I've turned down 25k offer on my 7.5 so surely this copy will be in that range

oh I don't know...history is often told from the perspective of the "victors", but there is enough info out there that understanding is easier now than it once was (thumbs u

Techincally there were only three Axis members (who signed the Tripartite Pact) Japan, Nazi Germany, and Italy. Thus why you usually see Musolini, Hirohito and Hitler depicted. Finland actually only saw their "war" as a war with Russia (who had taken land recently in the Winter War) so they sided with Germany when Germany began to fight Russia. FInland did sign the Anti-Comintern Pact. Finland repeatedly rejected signing the Tripartite pact because they specifically wanted to maintain diplomatic relations with the US. I dont know that the US ever technically declared war on Finland (though the UK did, due to Finland's agression towards the UKs ally Russia), or that the US forces ever fought Finnish forces... ok that was entertaining research, back to work, it is still a good question to GAtor regarding WWII depictions of any forces or leaders other than the big three. If I'm remembering correctly, the U.S. debated sending aid to Finland during the "Winter War" between Finland and the Soviet Union in 1940. If the Finns had held out longer, the U.S. probably would have ended up sending aid. The stories about heroic Finns during that episode would have made them poor comic book villains even though they did fight on the German side when Germany invaded the Soviet Union in 1941. To the broader point, I don't think the average person in the U.S. would have known which small European countries were on our side and which were on the German side. Hitler, Mussolini, and Tojo/Hirohito were recognizable villains. I think it would be truer to say that the Finns recruited the Germans to their side in their local war against the Soviets. In terms of support, Finland seems to have worked both sides to their advantage. Looking at their air force (my particular interest), they fielded American, French, British and German supplied aircraft (as well as being very adept at repairing and re-using Soviet ones). After the Continuation War (second war against the Soviets) was negotiated to a conclusion, the Finns agreed to fight against the Germans who up until them had been assisting them. I've read the Finnish/German fighting was particularly half-hearted. the Germans left without too much of a struggle and the Finns let them. It's a fascinating sidebar to WWII in Europe. History is easily googled. Funny that I did a history assignment on Greece for one of my kids last night. michele pfieffer is the only good thing about the sequel. hard to beat ONJ.

D copy you still like comics

$250-300 ish

be a long work commute for one of them.

Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and Slovakia all joined the Axis and were Sovietised after the war.. The Croats were the only nation that the Nazis trusted to run their own concentration camps. To this day there is an alpine meadow high above Ljubljana which bears witness to the final struggle. But, oh, sorry - you were talking about comic books.

minor...they are early tecs and in demand, but way less demand than batman covers...

I have tried gator before! Doesn't taste like chicken

Again, book looked nicer than a 6.5. GAtor had a 6.5 with a $6500 sticker on it in NYC and no bites.

Cgc always tries to be consistent. That said, the human element comes into play every day. My recent submissions seem to be fairly consistent with previous past periods.

The eBay 3.5 has very little eye appeal (faded etc) and is way overpriced. I am not a fan of huge spine rolls so personally, I wouldn't buy either (and the fact that both are currently available means no one else wants to buy either right now. That should be enough of an indicator ). Just my opinion There are plenty of supes 76s out there....patience

cool teen titans origin book. Not sure why there would be any great upside short of maybe a tt movie. (Thumbs u

I have specifically commented on recent comic con interest (not just at my booth but at virtually every booth in general that has had stock of bb28). Outside of cons, I have sold a dozen + copies in the last year .... There is certainly demand, apparently just not at shows. (Thumbs u

i expect a slow down in appreciation. No slow down in appreciation from me! Good point and play on words hehe

I do, if you are trying to retail them (if you are wholeselling them, they sell fine as folks like the "under" guide buying power)...I find that the folks that put together GA "runs" (those are typically the folks that buy "filler" issues) are getting sparser and sparser out there.... it is a financial drain these days, and in the cgc cover centric world we are in today, there just seems to be less appeal (take batman 22 for instance)... Do NOT besmirch Batman 22 (also known as "dancing Alfred cover"). That book rocks ! book might. Cover is

not lately

i expect a slow down in appreciation.

not just action 1, but all the major Keys....but, unfortunately, not a bubble...just a huge influx/increase of demand relative to available supply

none for sale at the moment... I have an 8.0 in my collection, but that is it...

According to Mr. Owl its three. But I don't buy it! I would like to know what do you think the toughest Chesler is and the toughest Timely. (Not counting Canadian books, Annuals etc.) for me, USA 5 was the toughest superhero timely.... I know parker needed a Mystic 9 last, to finish his SH timely run... lately, they pretty much all seem to have been available at one time or another.... punch 12 is certainly tough....punch 9, too... Star comics 5 is probably the toughest I know of (falls under the centaur veil, but is a chesler)
