The OP isn't trying to list books in any sort of order, and is limiting the titles to Marvel only.

In CGC boards parlance that's properly pronounced "tree-fiddy".

So many useful threads were sacrificed by being locked or poofed in pursuit of the almighty 'pernt', but there was still value in watching people circling those threads like restless buzzards, imo.

I found that chocolate/peanut/raisin combo to be somewhat of a turn off.

Cheese cake exhibits the very best traits of high quality pies, so I think that should be noted as an exception.

What comic is this?

Was it someone who criticized your retaining wall instructions?

If you're referring to the Archie Digests, value is relative to demand, and the market for these books is quite different than that for standard sized comics. Age is mostly irrelevant for these as far as value goes, and even digests from the 70's can be found cheaply unless in pristine condition, so it wouldn't make sense to have a book graded as you'd never recoup the costs involved. With few exceptions nearly all the story material is reprint as well. The only (Archie)digest I can think of that has collector interest from the last 30 years is Archie All-Canadian #1.

I collect and read. I'd also say I'm a passive preservationist. I bag, board, then hide the book for however long it takes before I want to read it again in whole or parts.

DC. Still pretty cool, IMO Do they have a triple coffee happy meal? I haven't been there in ages.

I've been watching this space just in case. It's been a ghost town as you can see.

Yes, it's Jungle Action #23 that reprints the DD #69 story.

Here's a few more threads on media mail for folks who haven't read through them: http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=7972625&fpart=1 http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=4585834 http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=3389693&fpart=1 http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=7989848&fpart=1

Was wondering what the disposition of the Pep #22(and others) was? Auction house, dealer, private collector? Are you saying CGC already graded this? Thanks for any insight.

Looks like an Astonishing X-Men #1 variant cover.

Yes, when conventions have ceased for the year.

Warlord is a great read. It also might be the longest running story arc in the history of comics. Early Little Lulu is also sheer genius. Some remarkable stories in there. Tubby sinking in quicksand is one that stands out in particular.

The Hairies...

There's still the Sig verification and restoration check to consider here.

I was thinking that Max Gaines is worthy of consideration. While working for Eastern Color Printing he had the idea to repackage newspaper strips in magazine format and published Funnies On Parade. Shortly thereafter in conjunction with Dell he published Famous Funnies: Carnival Of Comics with Famous Funnies then launching as an ongoing series that ran 200+ issues. By the late 30's he was publishing under the name of All-American Publications(with the help of Jack Leibowitz) and produced titles like Flash and All-Star Comics among others. When All-American was sold he then started Educational Comics which following his death a few years later became EC when his son took over.

There's the Slab-Pro silicone bumpers to protect the case corners.

For March '79 there's Micronauts, Shogun Warriors, and Battlestar Galactica that have had blank UPC boxes shown as "variants", but no superhero comics for that month, although the hero titles start again for April cover dates.
