  1. Then for other reasons like when they apply these exemptions way too liberally with golden age books. . the most recent Action Comics # 1 that sold on ebay, which has 2 medium " bindery tears" that seem to not have counted against the grade. Those tears also seem to have been made worse over time by handling, which should count against it no matter what. IMO. They don't have a sample pool large enough of that book to make a call like that either way, again IMO.

    Have scans? I never noticed that.

    I'm pretty sure the bindery tears counted against it. There's not a lot else wrong with it. Hard to tell from just the scans, though.

  2. We should pick some random, zero-interest book and encourage as many people as possible to "Watch" it on eBay, and see what effect, if any, that has.

     

    I like this plan, which book?

    My first thought was Turok #1, which you probably can't avoid finding in cheap bins if you tried. Viewed newly listed auction for maximum time to accumulate watches and picked one from someone that expects far too much:

    100th Watcher gets a No-Prize :whee:

  3. Avenging Spider-Man #9 seems to be selling like hot cakes, if CGC makes a label designation as "Carol Danvers becomes the new Captain Marvel", we might have another legitimate Modern key.

     

    I was just writing about that. CGC needs to be proactive instead of reactive on this one. CGC needs to call Marvel now or do the reseach and make sure which issue Avenging Spider-Man #9 or Captain Marvel #1 (2012) will have the notation of "Carol Danvers becomes the new Captain Marvel" on the label.

     

    I got no problem buying and flipping a modern like this, but doesn't this book give people some pause? This has the potential to be a key? Really?

     

    Why not? Carol Danvers becomes Captain Marvel, a different character than her previous Ms. Marvel persona. Kind of like Tales of the Teen Titans #44, Grayson becomes Nightwing, a different character than his previous Robin persona.

     

    Good point well made.

  4. NM 87 9.8 is going a bit woah-crazy-crazy at the moment.

    no love for the 2nd print though

     

    Give it time :grin:

     

    I've always been a fan of the second print over the first print since I love the metallic ink backgrounds Marvel used in the 90's for second and third prints.

     

    Yeah metallic ink and holgrams bring back a lot of good memories for me. :cloud9:

  5. Captain Marvel #1 (2012 series)

     

    get the rarest variant :gossip:

    Thankfully there's only 3 1st print covers total. Whew

     

    I believe it was Avenging Spider-man #9 where Carol Danvers appeared first as Captain Marvel. It shares the same published date with Captain Marvel #1 (2012) series but was released first.

    Interesting.

  6. So many cool rooms!

     

    I wish I could have one, but I can't have nice things.

    Tell your wife to pizz off,and take a room for your collection. (thumbs u

     

    I'm not married. I tried house hunting last year, though, and it was disastrous.

    Good for you. :applause:

     

    Tell my parents! Ha ha! They want more grandkids. I just got them another "granddog."
