G.A.tor

my favorite cb character is the Silver Surfer...my first comic in 1973 was SS 1...and he has always been my favorite... imo, and in most folks opinion, historically Superman is the most important (followed by batman and captain america ,etc)... I believe today, Spiderman is the most relevant and thus, currently more important... my favorite comic book, if I could only have one... for GA: I would likely go with Batman 1 over, say action 1 or tec 27, due to the quantity of content (full book, versus just an 8 page story, etc)... for SA: Silver Surfer 1...

since I am actively bidding on it, I will have to refrain from "showing my cards"

interesting question... my Favorite action cover is #12 my farvorite detective cover is #29 my favorite superman cover is #14 my favorite batman cover is #47 my favorite overall comic book cover is tie between Terrific 5 and Suspense 3

Depends on popularity of the character(s) in ten years time. Looking at it today, I would say either AF #15, FF #1 & Hulk #1 or AF #15, Hulk #1 & FF #1 in that order. Hulk #1 is a tougher book in grade & FF #1 being the wild card in the group. FF #1 is not viewed as seriously important as it should be. In my collecting world, FF #1 is THE key book of the lot, but popularity of the characters drives the market. I don't see much of a change over the next 10 years... albeit, for the first 20+ years it was FF, then AF, then Hulk... but from an investment potential, there are plenty of FF 1 and even AF 15's in 6.0... it is hulk 1 that is scarcer, hence, it ranks above FF1, but below AF 15 due to the higher demand for AF15 (imo)

And the bell boy kept $2. Wheres the other dollar? in a g string at the club down the road

Of the original $30 forked over by the brothers, it is accounted for as follows after all is said and done: clerk/hotel retains $25 brothers retain $3 clerk retains $2 Add it all up, and you get the $30 that was originally forked over by the brothers Looking at it another way, at the end of the day, the brothers should have paid $25 in total, but because of the bell boy's actions, they ended up paying $27 $28 in total. fixed that for you (thumbs u

sponge

2 brothers paid 9.33, with one paying 9.34 (25 divided by 3)

this would be my list... af15 hulk1 ff1

Just added an Exciting #9 why, that is quite exciting

the answer to #1 really depends on "what" slight resto was done... I know a raw VF, with reported slight resto sat unsold for years at 9K... now, I would never stay away from resto , I would only stay away from unfairly repriced resto books...slight resto is a GREAT way to get a GREAT book , mostly at some % of what a comparable unrestored would sell for... appearance also plays a part...but a "generic" answer is in the sub 5 figure range (without more specifics) 2)Raboy has actually "had" his day, and to some extent, still does today...long before cgc, folks were aware of, and collected Raboy covers...they are cool, but unlikely they will ever (mainly because of the character(s) ) reach a level of demand that Schomburg has, due to relative ease of supply... Apart from trimming - what slight restoe is "favoured" (minor CT and glue?) and what is considered 'bad' slight restoe (no chunks - not even pieves - can be added in 'slight' as I understand it?) Everybody will be sitting at home with their GA books cracked out of the vault, - and will be going "geesh, are my restored books "ok"-ed plods or are they always gonna be frowned upon" ... Can you help these people with a little advise ... to help them out of their missery they/we need a method to determine the status of restored books. the degree of resto and type of resto help to determine "value"... on slight, I prefer a little color touch or tear seal, vs a small piece added (yes, you can have a small piece added and still be "slight") or cleaned...the reason, color touch and glue are "reversable"... what does that mean?...it means you can remove that resto and have an "un" unrestored book (lower grade, likely)... so, I would pay more for a slight 8.0 with color touch, that I might be able to get into a 6.0 holder, than I would for a slight 8.0 with cover cleaned, which you cannot "unrestore"... that said, a cover cleaned only slight is still a very desirable book, at the right price (thumbs u

I have sold 2 cgc 6.5 copies in the past year, possibly one of them

the one i found for my run thru 15 is the only one i ever had a shot at.

One of the most underrated covers ever. Green-skinned alien chicks rule! noticed a cake...enjoy your day

if you like PC 71, then you will likely like PC 73...MW also did Fight 76 which I think is pretty cool...I also have a wings 124 which I believe whitman did (not his best, but still enjoyable)...his run of Ranger covers in the 60's has some cool ones as well ... but, my favorite of all whitman covers is Man O' Mars # 1...check it out (thumbs u

dem sure is purdy

to be honest, I believe Cerebus has had as much movement as is reasonable...asm 28, has always been "tough" due to the black cover, but enough copies out there these days, it appears, to satisfy demand... I am a fan of LD 1 and RR 1, but not sure it is mainstream enough in the Superhero collecting world to ever "move" any great distance... so, I hate to say it, even a WW 199, which has had some HG hyped prices, really have no where to go, but possibly down (or static to say the least)... there is just too much supply, and too easily manufactured high grade potential copies, for any long term appreciation (short term would be hit or miss)

I could tell you, but it would spoil the fun

I'll ask around for you (thumbs u

I think of you as a 1930's timely and dc superhero collector

I have seen same issues with date stamps a month apart...could have been transit time, could have been local distributor delays, could have been newstands issues... not sure anyone has really every researched in depth... what we have to keep in mind is that the 4 color printing process that occured in the 1930's and 40's is relatively simplistic compared to today's technology... even Timely comics used former chesler/centaur printing facilities to produce books...so, multiple printers could have been (and likely were) used...but, they were still fairly regionally located together, so I have never heard, say, of there being superman 1's printed in NY and CAL in the same month...anyone else have more info, please share
