  1. Extremely impressive collection Timely I haven't checked Parrino's site in a while. Any interest in the Marvel 1 Pay Copy? I only have a couple of Timely's and none up to the quality of these posts. I already have a Marvel #1 9.0! Timely
  2. Captain America #51 CGC 8.5, 3rd best copy. Schomburg-c. Male bondage cover. Timely
  3. Here is Captain America #50 CGC 8.0. Cool Schomburg gorilla cover, that should excite all you DC Silver Age gorilla fans out there! Looks like the Flash and Superman were not the first heroes to fight an irrate gorilla! Timely
  4. Captain America 49 CGC 9.4, I listed it before but it's back for this part of the run. Timely
  5. Captain America #47 CGC 8.0! This is the last War over issue for Cap. Schomburg-c. Timely
  6. I guess Steve Erwin wasn't the first "Crocodile Hunter." Timely
  7. Did Hyper Publications do any other books other than Hyper #1 and 2? Timely
  8. Here is Captain America #44 CGC NM 9.4, it's the Highest graded copy! Timely
  9. The "SN" books are a minor pedigree. They were termed the "Tennessee" or "SN" copies. I believe Geppi found the collection in the 1980's, many of them were sold to Overstreet. Timely
  10. I currently have 44.3% of the superhero Timely's. There are 431 Timely/Atlas superhero issues total and I have 191 of them. I've got a ways to go yet! Timely
  11. Here is Cap #43 CGC 8.0, only 2 better! Why is Bucky always in trouble? Timely
  12. Captain America #40 CGC 8.0, no copies graded 9.0 or better yet! I think this is one of Sid Shores better covers. Timely
  13. No, there are no USA's with an 8 or above, and only one with a 7. I have seen and been offered both of those issues in 8.0 and above, but they wanted way too much. They are not scarce, but they do tend to stay in private collections (giving the illusion of scarcity!), and when they do come up for sale they are priced way high. Timely
  14. I've got a Daring Mystery Comics #4 too, its graded 8.0 but I think it's closer to a 9.0. Its' the Nova Scotia copy too! Timely
  15. I cannot believe I am reading this! Let me set up a scenario here on two books, assuming ALL other things equal. Captain Marvel Adventures #49 and 50 will be our test subjects. Here is a "fake" census on the pair. CM #49 8.0 19 copies 8.5 33 copies 9.0 55 copies 9.2 100 copies 9.4 22 copies 9.6 0 copies CM #50 8.0 1 copy 8.5 0 copies 9.0 0 copies 9.2 0 copies 9.4 1 copies 9.6 0 copies So what you have alluded to in the other posts is that under these conditions you are saying the 22 9.4 copies of CM #49 should all sell for more than the 1 lone 9.4 copy of issues #50 because those 22 books are competing with 100 9.2's, 55 9.0's, 33 8.5's and 19 8.0's?!? Obviously I have used rather large numbers here, but only to make my point crystal clear. With 229 graded copies of #49 and only 2 graded copies of #50 you can be sure all the #49's battling for new homes will not make the issue go up in value, rather the reverse. Regardless of what you may think or have been told, there's no way in hell those 22 9.4's of CM#49 battling against their lower grade counterparts will sell for more than that one 9.4 copy of CM #50! The fact that the HT #1 9.4 he has is by far and away the best copy makes it that much MORE special. If there were 5 copies in 9.2 10 copies in 9.0 and 20 copies in 8.5 then the 9.4 price should be lower, not higher! Common sense here PLEASE! Timely PS. If a book competing with itself actually made them MORE valuable like you are suggesting that should mean Spawn # 1 in 9.4 should sell for $10,000, $20,000 in 9.6 and $50,000 in 9.8! After all it's one of the most competative books out there, as far as the CGC census is concerned!
  16. Next is Captain America #37 CGC 8.0, 3rd best copy to date. Incredible Schomburg war cover. I've posted ths one in another thread a few months ago, but I think it deserves another view. Timely
  17. Sorry but this statement makes no sense to me. Are you saying because the HT 9.4 is by far and away the best copy CGC has graded that no multiple should be on this book, but if there were dozens of HT's ranging from 8.0-9.4 then there should be a high multiple on the 9.4? Because that's what I am taking from your quote, and if that's what you are saying you have no comprehension of the market at all, not to mention SUPPLY and demand. Also with your 9.8 remark at the end it sounds like you are saying that if the best copy of a given book is 8.0 or 10.0 that the price of either book should be the same because it is the highest graded copy. Again, that makes even less sense than what you wrote in the beginning !?!?!? Timely
  18. Starting today I am going to show a lot of my Caps. I have already shown a few however I think it would be cool to see them in a run. This one is Captain America #35. Cool torture cover by Syd Shores. 2nd best CGC copy at 8.5! Timely
