  1. Pete is truly a pleasure to work with. Trustworthy, great communication, and a really good guy. He made selling a solid five-figure book as easy as possible. If only more buyers were like Pete...! Thanks, brother. I know the book is going to a good home. I'm looking forward to working with you again.

    And as far as storing non-graded comics, there is really only one way to go in my opinion...

    1. E. Gerber MyLyte2 (Mylar Bag)

    2. E. Gerber Fullback (Backing Board)

    3. Corrugated plastic boxes at minimum.

    Always pay attention to the environmental guidelines as outlined in my articles.

    Thank you very much for sharing the results of your research.  It was very thorough and the synopses at the end is an added bonus.  I'm sure this is a sticky somewhere on the boards, but if it's not, it certainly needs to be!

    Unfortunately I have no dollars and cents data to confirm this, but I've been  getting the feeling for a while that collectors aren't as hot on TOS 39 as they used to be. Could just be things going in cycles, but it seems like amongst the Marvel "Grails" it has fallen somewhat in desirability. 

    I've always loved the book and I'm proud to have one in my collection. Just curious where it falls  on the list of desirable keys for other collectors. Personally I would rank it only below AF15, Hulk 1 and FF1. 

    I've actually asked myself the same thing lately.  It is on my want list.  Congrats for owning one.  For selfish reasons, I hope it's still relatively affordable when I'm finally able to buy one.  For Marvel silver keys, I'd say my favorites list is as follows:

    AF15, Hulk 1, JIM 83, TOS 39, FF 1, X-Men 1, ASM 1, DD 1.  I only have 2 out of the 8 so I have a long way to go. 

  4. Boardies,

    Amazing Spider-Man #25 1:1000 Remastered CGC 9.8 - NOW $2,395 Shipped to continental US.

    Price is FIRM!

    PayPal, Check, or Money Order.

    Thanks for looking.

    It's great to see this! Congrats. I have quite a bit left to complete 1-700. I admit that with all the variants, I had to call it quits at 700. Good on you for keeping it going.

    The scammer that hijacked the account xsfers the 7500 immediately to their bank and withdraws it a day later. That's how the scammer "wins". Sure, the buyer will likely eventually get their money back (with some effort I suspect) but the scammer still gets away and leads them to do it again and again. 

    Yes. Been there with the exact price of $7500 about a year ago.  The seller sent messages stating he couldn't make it to the post office. After he got his/her money out, he went silent. Probably not the same seller. I got my money back, of course, but I'd guess the seller doesn't care about PayPal (off eBay transaction) taking him/her to court.

    Is it possible to retract a bid?

  8. I'm inexperienced in the hobby/business compared to some, but it seems that this auction, alone, has drawn a lot of rightful speculation about the reasons for such bidding. It could be a die-hard fan, hobbiest or non-hobbiest investor, or market manipulation. I've read a lot about "ground breaking" sales in the past that many thought absurd, but later turned out to be wise. Still, has the hobby ever seen anything like this?

  9. Mijael is an A+ boardie! Everything was done by the book.  He's great to work with, maintained constant communication to ensure the book arrived safely, packed very well, and his grading is spot on!

    Since we are back on topic -- sort of -- and discussing the Kirby vs Ditko versions of the AF15 cover, I thought I'd repost this version I did a week before the old boards went away.  I never saw a comment which I hope was due to the switchover.!

    AF15-DitkoCGC.jpg

    :golfclap: I love it. Thank you for showing how it may have looked if published as the cover almost 50 years earlier. I like it better. I've always admired the way Ditko portrayed realism in his comic art, right down to the burgler's left pant leg falling down from his shoe. I love Kirby's cover, but Ditko gave Spidey a better hold on the burgler.
