  1. With the best website and platform second to none and this collection they are leaving CC and CL in the dust. They are taking comic books both GA/SA to the next level as this collection will break the world record price of the Billy Wright which was only 367 books...great GA books...look for $25M when all is said and done...This is great in terms of GA comic book collecting..for everyone..those who will get great deals of 6.5 books they have always wanted while other shoot for the sky with these books. I wish I had a time machine 5 years ahead...everyone is gonna say...I should of bought more... and FYI speaking of time travel..I saw a great trailer for a upcoming SF epic which has time travelers coming back 30 years to get more people to fight the alien war in the future..give it a look, great concept..."The Tomorrow War"...Amazon spent 200 million to buy it and avoid theater release to promote its platform..its great...July 2, 2021
  2. Solid Copy...of a great book...WOW
  3. Billy Wright was 367 books, a lot of which some were bought by the guy that defrauded that company. thus quick resale..this a 5000 OO amazing condition collection...apple vs orange hre
  4. I think grading is very subjective but overall so far from I have seen its been spot on 85% of the time. 5 years from today...my prediction...board members are gonna say "I should have bought more"....
  5. Prices will increase as those books for years have been underrated, you might want to check out the two Ditko marvel masterworks reprints, those books show the quality of art and story...great buys..super buys especially unrestored and ungraded books...best deal out there for SA marvels
  6. There needs to be a difference between brand new staples and replacement similar from the time period. Given this issue could cost Action #1 100's of thousand of dollars in an auction return or private sale..this item needs to on top of the CGC to do list.
  7. These ultra grade timely's are once is a lifetime, the SA books, which might cost more to replace..CAN BE REPLACED...certain books in this collection cannot unless you own a time machine..you are trading up from SA to GA to obtain non-replaceable material...it is a no brainer..this collections is a game changer on so many levels...
  8. I wonder if the CGC clue the future or buyer on that fact...new or replacment..good point
  9. Cap 1 is 1941...not much known other wise
  10. On the Berk action 1 how much decrease in value do think that staple replacement will cost the seller?
  11. I always look at any grade closely and make my own opinion, but these books are gonna have special value above normal non-special collection books and that should make up the difference in any over/under grading. You must consider, a level head at all times...but this is it, no hype needed, yes with the Berk Action #1 and Tec #38 coming on board for this it is gonna be quite special time to be a GA collector!
  12. This is it guys and gals....once in lifetime upgrade..there will be so many out there, that if you are careful and selective you can really score both collection wise and when you decide to exit look like a champion. I think very early in is the best strategy and that is why I agree with you. I do not think you will see a OO collection of 5000 GA books hit ever in our lifetimes again and its time to rumble. Time to trade up...I agree Fast Eddie
  13. What is HA waiting for...I don't understand why no announcement about this collection..they are already posting books?
  14. Mine too, Fav of the books seen so far..any idea on what price it might go for?
  15. Never had a issue with them, especially on grading.
  16. I will second that...its been that way since I was collecting and bought #83 off the newsstands, TOS 39 was a tough one
  17. I will second that thought. The books in this group are gonna impact all GA collectors. One thought, if 5000 Ga books each unique, how many different GA books were published on average each month per year say 1943.. any idea ?..we should be able to do the math as to 5000 divided into...to establish some type of years say 1941-1946?
  18. we now know some of the books, Cap 1..wre 1941...are there any 1938/39 books?
  19. I never suggested a 5000 comic book auction, a 1500 book one would probably break the world record comic auction price. HA is going to put the lesser books in the weekly auctions to promote them. They have 52 of those, plus 4 signature auctions. I would say if there are a real total of 5000 that we see 2500 a year, over two years. The impact on the GA comic book market is once in a lifetime. These books separate the men from the boys. As in every type of auction, there will be bargains, now that might not be apparent right away, but say 5 years from now you are all gonna say...I should of bought more! The GA comic book market is gonna overall is going to go up, more interest on this once in a lifetime event. Everyone better start looking out on those weekly auctions, as the first couple of weeks, I predict some books will slip thru the cracks, and look like great deals in just a couple of years.
  20. I think the real issue here is will the GA comic book market be able to handle this collection coming into the marketplace. With 5000 books with a average price of say $5000 each, it would suck out of the GA market air about $25 Million dollars, if higher average price book, then even more money. That will be the real issue here, will after say 70% of the books being sold into the GA market show some wear and tear. So when the collection hits its last 500 books will those be the "bargains" we have been looking for. Timing this sale of when and how much to purchase is the key. Why not get 5 books for the price of 3, I guess it just depends on what your want list is and what comes up for sale. What are your thoughts about the timing of buying into this collection?
