I posted this in General, but I'm so happy right now I had to post it here too. I got my all-time comic grail today....and it's signed by Jack Kirby!

The best day I've had as a comic collector has come today...I got my all-time grail book: AND................it's signed by Jack Kirby!!! Needless to say, I feel like this right now:

Auction is up to $635, with 9 hours left, this is exciting!

I read it for the articles...

He's a reputable dealer indeed, I've bought quite a few books from him the past 3 years.

And 77 and 78, but if you go by Marvel's retcon the Atlas-era Bucky is another person pretending to be Bucky, and he later became Nomad.

Uh, you have something against "raw" comic books? (thumbs u No, but I do have something against irrational exuberance... Is it irrational exuberance or people thinking they can get a deal on a raw that could be in 9.8 shape?

The item description and the seller's feedback history looks very, very fishy.

Potential money maker. No brainer (thumbs u I own a copy myself but I just don't think it's worth the current going prices. Same with NM98 and all the other mass produced 90's books. I remember seeing all these books on the stands as a teenager and it all seems like yesterday, so maybe it's because I'm not thinking that it's been 20 years and over now so nostalgia is kicking in for some people.. I understand the demand is there, but will that ever exceed the supply?

What's with the tulip mania enveloping this book? I see an awful lot of hype coming from board members who are known to own a copy.

Posed this in General yesterday, but thought it fit here too:

Those airbrushed Schomburg covers are timeless.

It does look great in person. Plus, it's a good Cap to go along with that coverless All Select #1 I bought from you last year.

If you want the "real" first appearance of Nightwing, you'll have to get Detective Comics #38.

I sold a book to Nick and the deal was pleasant and smooth. I wouldn't hesitate to buy or sell with him again.

I'll be listing a Incredible Hulk #1 (1962) CGC 1.0 either tonight or tomorrow night.
