Bronze Age Fantastic Four Appreciation Thread
Mjolnir! replied to Mr Sneeze's topic in Bronze Age Comic Books
I have all of these bronze issue. I wish they were in better condition though. I wish the Human Torch had been shown to be more powerful. He was always underrated in my book. -
I have no problem with a teaser cover without a face, body or limbs. As long as it has $$$$$$$

Giant Size X-Men #1 and/or X-Men 94 Club
Mjolnir! replied to HeroX's topic in Bronze Age Comic Books
I'm still blown away how much these books are. I sorta wished I had invested in buying more books when the train was still at the station with the conductor saying ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL ABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOARD!!! But no, I looked at him and said what, are you crazy? You want how much for this book? Kinda wished I had paid more back in 2011 & 2012. *Sniff Sniff* We didn't know it was the last stop to climb aboard at those prices. -
Whew....for a second I was worried there but your response was spot on perfect reply. Regardless, I'm still covered because I have an excellent #239 as well.

Master of Kung Fu appreciation thread
Mjolnir! replied to SuperBird's topic in Bronze Age Comic Books
Whaaaaat? Look man, I've got Eagle Eye Joe eyesight and I KNOOOOOOWS 9.8 or better when I see it! What do you see in this perfect gem scan of a book to imply it's not the 9.8 beauty of perfection 95 percent of posters on here would say HELL YES if they saw it in person? Listen, If you saw see this book yourself, the sheen color gloss alone would knock your socks off! That's if you wear socks that is. Umm your right, I shall take your wisdom advice and get better protection. -

I've considered trading in my 9.6 and other books to maybe get a 9.8. -

Mjolnir! replied to SuperBird's topic in Bronze Age Comic Books
Here's my golden membership ticket. I'm pretty proud of this one. It's definitely a 9.8 or maybe better! I bought it around 30 years ago at a convention. It was on my must-have-list at the time because it was cheap and I loved the cover. The original price stub is still on the cover! -

Mjolnir! replied to HeroX's topic in Bronze Age Comic Books
And you still haven't gotten this astounding book slapped yet? What are you waiting for? A roll-out-the-red-carpet dinner invitation from CGC? -
I always thought this issue was an especially awesome cover at the time it came out not knowing who it was stalking the X-men. This book continues to age well like fine wine, only looking better every-time we see it. That black cover edge really brings out the center and showcases the extreme dire plight the X-men are in! Proud to have a couple issues of this amazing breathtaking key moment in time. Anyone know if those ticks on the spine could be pressed out on a black cover like that?

Hmmm maybe it's overdue for a new plastic bag LOL! I'll do that next time I visit and take another photo.

I 10000 percent agree with you. It's the sole reason I had FF 112 on my must-have-list and purchased it at a convention at least 30 years ago. The price tag is still on it. One day I will get this issue graded and slabbed but for now it's locked away in my safety deposit box with my other child-hood gems.

Giant Size X-Men #1 and/or X-Men 94 Club
Mjolnir! replied to HeroX's topic in Bronze Age Comic Books
Finally made time to visit my sweet heart at the safety deposit box today. Brought my usual chocolates and flowers to her. We are still madly in love with one another. We kissed several times and this time I took pictures. -
Someone please help me out here. I'm too lazy right now to read the entire thread which could have the answer to my question: Why is this book worth so much when there isn't a first appearance of anything that usually is the key factor in making a book relevant these days?

Giant Size X-Men #1 and/or X-Men 94 Club
Mjolnir! replied to HeroX's topic in Bronze Age Comic Books
As I stated before, I couldn't read the article but for the most part, why would the bank take the risk of being sued? And what's really the difference of trusting the bank with your account information or other financial assets? NONE. I've never had a problem with my bank or federal credit union. -

To ease your concerns I would simply make an appointment and ask the bank representative any questions you may have before committing yourself. In truth you're taking a greater risk in NOT securing your books if you truly care about them. I have complete peace of mind knowing they are in the best area possible for the best price/value. -

Mjolnir! replied to HeroX's topic in Bronze Age Comic Books
Yes, of course. I'm provided two keys by the bank. One key I carry with my other keys and the other key is in a spot where the wifey has knowledge of. You thinking about using a safety deposit box to secure your goods? -
Incredible Hulk #181 - is it *that* red-hot?
Mjolnir! replied to Getoutandstayout's topic in Bronze Age Comic Books
Good question. I bought the book because it's considered to be one of the top 3 trilogy Marvel BA books which include GS X-1 and X94. I just wanted to finally be able to have a piece of history that changed the comic industry forever. But when I bought those books I never ever imagined they would have increased in value like they have. But then again there are a lot of books that have skyrocketed that were considered "common" so you may have a point, people are buying them for the sole point of flipping them. Because I don't need the money I haven't bothered to slab books. But man this really is an awesome sellers market and I wonder if I should just sell. Not the top BA books I just mentioned but all the others. We may in the "peak golden time" seller's market right now. Just so many books at record levels right now. How can this be? The spike is unbelievable. -

Incredible Hulk #181 - is it *that* red-hot?
Mjolnir! replied to Getoutandstayout's topic in Bronze Age Comic Books
But even if it was reachable, and I mean just within reach, would you spend 20k and buy it? -
Incredible Hulk #181 - is it *that* red-hot?
Mjolnir! replied to Getoutandstayout's topic in Bronze Age Comic Books
Yeah I see what you're getting at. For most who are affluent and they want the book, money isn't really an issue. I And even though I'm wealthier than most, I'm also frugal, which is the reason I'm better off than most. It's that frugality that's hard to turn off sometime. But I did turn it off (or so I thought) when I spent 2k for my IH -181. Even though I can afford today's prices in any grade, I can't see myself pulling the trigger. But like you stated, others will do it because...we'll they can (HG) and it's a big desire to fulfill to have one. -

Mjolnir! replied to Getoutandstayout's topic in Bronze Age Comic Books
What I remembered during that time was prices softened in the comics market.....not sure what happened in collectibles as a whole. What is your assessment as to "being in reach" to acquiring a IH 181 in the grades you mentioned a few years ago? Price range? -

Well if they have plenty of affluence then it shouldn't be an issue getting a copy then right? If I'm understanding you correctly?
