  1. Here are some of the boards that I will eventually be selling once I get settled into my new place. At that time I will generate a new sales thread but just posting some pictures for now so that you can see the boards I do have. I’m planning on keeping a few … as has been mentioned, these things are fairly large and heavy, the Silver Surfer is the biggest piece and weighs nearly 50 pounds ! Also notice on the back of the boards it has notation as to which wall and location that each piece was placed !
  2. Thanks porcupine! As soon as I complete moving and get this new computer setup (aggravating) then I will post up some pictures of these boards !
  3. I just finished building a new home and in process of moving. Over the years I’ve acquired a few more of these Marvel Art boards from boardies so along with those I originally purchased I now have about 10 or so in which I will be starting a sales thread to sell a few. I need to free up a little space and these things are huge and heavy !

  9. Rich bought an Avengers #1 from me in a recent sales thread. Very pleased with the entire transaction as communication was excellent and payment was very quick. I would not hesitate to do future deals with Rich !!! Thank you !
  10. Dan bought and Aquaman #1 from me in my last sells thread and was an awesome guy to deal with ... Great communication and paid lightening fast ! Don't hesitate to do business with Dan as they don't get better than this
  11. Since I don’t typically visit this area of the boards I was unaware of this conversation regarding my sales thread comments until I was notified. Oddly the thread was removed but the comments are allowed here … that doesn’t make much sense? I’m not sure why mods would remove a sales thread after a transaction has been made instead of just deleting comments they feel are not appropriate. The thread serves as a record for both buyer and seller and fortunately on the few books I have sold here, buyers have never had an issue and never will. Furthermore … all of the books that I have sold on these boards were purchased from boardies. While not specifically mentioning Roy’s name in my sales thread, some of the comments were construed as directed at Roy and for those comments I do apologize. Roy is an upstanding member of this community, a well respected seller of high grade books and an asset the comic collecting hobby.
  12. At first I didn't like these pads but after using them for awhile, they work really well. Like has been mentioned, just peel the sticker off the best you can and the remaining stuff on the slab comes off great with these.
  13. Al bought an ASM #2 from one of my last sales threads ... very nice guy, excellent communication, fast pay and just an awesome transaction all around. Definitely a great boardie to do business with !!!
  14. This is some really funny stuff ... great job !!!
  15. Very sad news ... life is just too short so we need to enjoy every minute of it. Condolences to family and friends
  16. As many others have said, Tim’s packaging is the best I have seen and complete transaction was flawless. Books accurately graded and the mylar bags were icing on the cake ! Thanks a ton for an awesome deal (thumbs u
  17. Received a Cap 109 CGC 9.6 from Chay and everything about the entire transaction was epic ... thanks very much !
  18. Glad to see this thread will continue as the travels of Kraven have been fairly entertaining
  19. Picked up a book in Robot Man's last sales thread and the transaction was flawless ... excellent communication, well packaged and fast shipping !!! Bob is an awesome guy to do business with !!! (thumbs u
  20. Wow Roy this buyer was really shady! To go several weeks without responding to your messages is inexcusable when the buyer probably decided to back out on the deal after the first week. It wouldn’t have been as bad if he just told you that he changed his mind in the first few days but to string it out for a month is wrong. Going forward it’s probably best to get 10% nonrefundable upfront then set exact dates and amounts of the remaining payments.
  21. None of the other big-time GA books have the combination Cap #1 has: *No.1 issue of a series devoted to that specific superhero. *First appearance of a classic superhero. *Origin of a classic superhero. *First appearance of that superhero's arch nemesis (Red Skull). *Classic cover. *Impressive cover artistically/visually. Action #1 -- an anthology series, one hero story, classic but artistically simple cover. Tec #27 -- an anthology series, one hero story, no origin whatsoever. Superman #1 -- no 1st app., mostly reprinted material, no notable villains. Batman #1 -- not the 1st app., of the title character. Marvel #1 -- No top-tier characters, no noteworthy villains. In those respects, no other GA book is in Cap #1's league. And the combination of factors listed above are, to me, much more than "Oh yeah, that's neat" kind of stuff. You say that in "those respects, no other GA book is in Cap #1's league", and that may be true based on the criteria that you defined, however based on the criteria I might define the same could be said about Action #1... I don't usually put this much thought into ranking the top books based on personal desirability, but here goes... Although I actually perform a calculation, I suppose that I typically implicitly look at the following criteria, in the order shown, when ranking the desirability of the best of the best Superhero books: My highest weighted criteria: (1) First Appearance of 1st Tier Superhero (2) Cover Related: 1st cover appearance of Superhero &/or Classic Cover (3) 1st time origin story told? Bonus points if the book has this stuff: (4) Arch Nemesis included? (5) Is it a #1 issue of a book that has one or more solo stories in every issue for the Superhero in question; a bit of a bonus if the entire book is devoted to the Superhero in question (6) Other noteworthy factors not covered above I suppose I then implicitly assign ratings to each of the criterion above and then multiply those rankings by the applicable criteria weighting in order to arrive at the overall ranking of a given book Based on the criteria I have identified above: Action #1 -- Meets all of my criteria above and ranks high in each category IMO (bonus points for being a #1 issue and for being the 1st major ongoing superhero book) Tec #27 -- No origin story, and while Bats appears on the cover, the cover isn't quite as classic as some of the others IMO. Very high ranking for criterion #1 / no noteworthy bonus points. Superman #1 -- Not Supes first appearance and not the 1st origin story (although it is expanded on a bit). Bonus points for being a #1 issue and for being the first book devoted entirely to a superhero. Batman #1 -- Not Bats first appearance, nor is it the first time his origin is told (although it does have a very early / very classic reprint). Borderline classic cover IMO (personally I'm not a big fan of Robin on the cover ). Big time bonus points for Joker first appearance and some more bonus points for being the #1 issue of the first book devoted to Batman. Marvel #1 -- 1st newsstand appearance / origin of Subby and 1st Human Torch, but neither are what I would call 1st tier superheros. Classic cover with the Torch but no Subby. Bonus points for being Marvel #1. Cap #1 -- 1st appearance and origin of Cap, and while his stock has certainly gone up of late, I still wouldn't put him in the same category as Batman or Superman. Classic cover. Bonus points for being a #1 issue devoted to Cap and for the 1st appearance of the Red Skull. If I were to actually work through the calcs (assigning weights to various criteria and ranking each book against each criterion, and then adding up total score for each book), based on my weightings / rankings, I believe I would probably end up with the following rankings: Action #1 Tec #27 Cap #1 I'm sure everyone else has other criteria that they look at, and assign different weightings to their criteria than I do, if they were to take the time to try to explain how they personally rank various books... P.S. Having said all that, I guess I don't always follow my own "rules" as my formulae above would probably rank All-Star #8 above Sensation #1, however I actually prefer Sensation #1 over All-Star #8 Definitely agree ... Cap 1 in the top three ! (thumbs u
