Illustrious

I've bought and sold two previous copies of #1 thinking I could buy another copy down the road, but in the last two years it seems they're dried up completely. Thankfully I'm back in the club once more with this copy, and I won't be parting with it this time.

Wrong. I've personally bought many raw 9.6/9.8 candidates from him in the past few years that ALL were up to CGC grading standards when I examined them in hand, and they all graded out at CGC at what he initially graded them at raw.

How much would coverless copies go for now? If AF #15 can routinely bring in $1500-$3000 for coverless copies, is SC #4 close behind?

Interesting...

I wonder if today's news will wake these books up: http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Men-Black-Getting-Another-Movie-With-Major-Change-84437.html

Don't forget Rip Torn.

Guess I should post my set since I started this thread:

Or just have the Annual label state "first appearance of Gambit", with #266 still retaining the "first full appearance of Gambit" notation.

The top copy is a UPC newstand copy I just bought a few weeks ago, it was a tough one to track down in 9.8:

They already changed the label on the Annual after being pointed to this thread. Here's a pic of the old label (on top) and the new one (bottom):

Pardon the scanner glare...

Thanks. I bought them all. NOOOO, I just wanted 1! What's the significance of that book, other than it being the second comic appearance of Phil Coulson?

That would be cool since I love the Marvel Zombies myself, but with the rights issues I'm sure they could only use the Fantastic Four zombies since the rest of them are all the Marvel/Disney movie universe characters.

Over the past 4 years, I've bought and sold multiple raw copies, a 9.6 and and a 9.8, and thanks to a fellow boardie I'm back in the club again with this newsstand 9.8:

I sold a key SA book to Shayne and he paid within hours. A pleasure to deal with and a great boardie all around. (thumbs u

I'd actually be happy if he left, I wasn't enthusiastic about casting him.

I sold my Harbinger #1 9.8 for $900 over the weekend. I still have my raw 9.6 as a back up.

Rip Torn is also in my favorite movie of all time:

Seeing that on MSC did actually get me thinking about the MIB original comics and thus later led me to create this thread.

This brings me to another point. It's been mentioned on here before that these issues were prone to spine tics, and that's why maybe people won't submit them since they think that would exclude them from 9.8's. But the 9.8 copies you posted have one big spine tic right in the middle, noticeably visible. With that said, does CGC take the spine into account as a production defect and overlook it?

Love that movie
