  1. that or a toothpick for Mr Bedrock (thumbs u
  2. I have bought and sold at least 20+ copies of hulk 1 in the last 3 years...one of my fav SA keys!
  3. Great Gustavson cover... he is really underrated. Does this book have Gustavson interiors as well? Do these Arrow books reprint Funny Pages stories, or are they all new material? I think there is a gustavson story, as well as a T Mills if I recall (though, as parker is quick to point out, my mental faculties are fading of late )
  4. there was a population report on these done not so long ago, where I saw what Marvel stated to be the print runs on their 1960's titles... I don't believe hulk 1 was the lowest of the "big"...I think it was TTA 27 if I recall, but certainly of the big #1's hulk would appear the lowest in the current marketplace
  5. thanks Cat...typing on an Iphone just doesn't lend itself to that kind of detail, but you are a mountain among the hills
  6. one of my fav. centaurs...it is the hardest of the 3 arrows, but not "that" hard relatively speaking... but way awesome book!
  7. I do have a rule of thumb for silver age keys, but not nec GA...suprisingly, on most all titles, if you pay attention, you can establish data points from which you can make a reasonable value assertion...applies even to the rarest centaurs... that said, there is no subsitute for experience and time (no way to speed it up or put in a simple formula)... I do have a restored correlation scale I typically use, but not unrestored... OSPG's exponential value increase across grades is a good starting point, but by no means is it even remotely accurate many times... really would depend on the title, issue, condition, etc
  8. according to the master technician, quite easy...I would say a 3 (with 1 being easiest)
  9. human torch is just above subby on the lower end of the popularity of collecting scale the early teens are tougher, as are the later 20's... I would look to complete the teens next, then 20's, then the single digits (They are typically more readily available) I think cap, usa, all winners, etc are better long term candidates for value increase potential, when compared to mmc, ht or subby for the obvious reasons (character relevance, aging collecting demographic, etc)
  10. I owned star 1-4 but never a 5 or 6. Never had even seen one for sale till the bw 6
  11. who are these people you are referring too
  12. I have seen several keen 1s. Owned the lloyd j copy. A few stars I have never seen for sale
  13. Great win! really...last of 10 is 10th place...horrible that parker has to suffer with this wrong wright...
  14. FYI - I saw the BR Tec 35 in hand today and there is a fair amount of rust on the top staple. yuck. I'm out It was so unfortunate that I had to pull the lamp over and ask the guy previewing next to me if I was seeing it correctly. but at least it wasn't one of my 5 "must" wins...whew

  16. at your namesake, I am sure that could be rearranged
  17. Boo Hoo. why don't try a "reasonable price"
  18. The general duck/barks collecting demographic is aging. A look at sales will show a slight downward trend price wise on hg. That said they are still realizing, in some cases, strong prices all things considered. As we have seen in the barks art market, demand has waned resulting in softening prices and that trend is likely going to continue in the comic market imo
  19. ok, thanks,I've listed the 94 and will keep the 52 to my grave because I just love it!
  20. Last I heard Robinsons estate had an unrealistic expectation of value and it had not publicly changed hands but I'll make an inquiry to see if anything has privately taken place
  21. if you bought them for your collection...keep them... if you bought them for resell, sell them (thumbs u
  22. that was a very attractive price... I believe I am guilty of moving the price of supes 14 upward over the past few years, as my goal was to win them all...now, by just taking me out of the bidding equation, I have noticed prices have softneded... that said, it was a very good price (I regularly paid over 3K for 6.5 in the past ) IMO
