I'm glad DC is doing so well but I like new 52 stories much better, at least when they started. I don't enjoy Rebirth at all. I have only been collecting Batman and JL for sentimental reasons and may be dropping them for good. I think they are awful. It seems to me using the perpetual reboot strategy DC will match Marvel in marketing. They will eventually clean up their movie fiascos as well. I'm contemplating buying the sa/ba material only. The independent titles are the only new reads keeping me interested now.

DC rebirth has killed the new52's And how. Those damn foil variants, shoulda grabbed some on the cheap Jerome I was wondering what would become of the new 52s. Batman 1 is still putting up good numbers. Rebirth will go the same way after DCs next reboot.

Isn't this proof enough that the Bronze Age rocked?

Someone is mad about the state of Marvel Comics sales. That's a first. Marvel Sales

DC's reboot strategy gives them all top 20 books except for Civil War II and beats them in market share. If they keep the reboot strategy they and a few good movies they will be even with them.

Holy hoarding! Nice copies everyone.

mess, his videos were entertaining. I would have watched longer if you know... I didn't have to go on living my life. I understand him being upset. Some things that crossed my mind as I thought over the problem... As submitter... - you take a risk with your book by submitting them to someone else anyway. Whether the grading company is honourable or not, mistakes happen. - I wouldn't use expletives directed at the company. That's a type of abuse that no one has to deal with in a customer/client relationship, and is reason alone not to do business with you in the future. As a grading company - do your best to make it right and own up if you did do something. - I would have changed the letter to say that you are no longing doing business with the customer but actually putting the word 'banned' doesn't sound right to me. So yeah, his book got damaged. That really sucks. Is it CGC's fault? Maybe. Maybe not. At least it wasn't FF#1 9.0. Something you can financially recover from you have to let it go. At best CGC can recover your grading fees and whatever you declared on the book (up to difference in the downgrade). I actually came across this video as a youtube recommendation after searching for grading companies, so this must have some high playback.

I'm out of practice with these grades. I'll say 5.5

Probably $1000 minimum, either raw or lowest graded slab. -J. You have to like a straightforward answer.

So what do you figure the going rate is now for this book in any grade?

I don't have many silver age ASM. I really like this one I picked up from a boardie.

Thanks guys. I bought mine from a1-comics in Cali. Their service is impeccable. I was captured by the blue and green colours on this one. Still I don't think treasuries are for everyone. They are quite large and cumbersome. You can't really read them without causing stress damage to them. I read mine to death as a kid and they quickly become detached.

My contribution

Time to bump the thread.

Very cool 90 & 118

Well I love much of his work. DD run, Sin City, All-Star B&R. Not so much DKR. The only knocks I'd give on his work is that his art has become very abstract where I just appreciated it as it was in the DD or even Sin City. And the other issue is that he always too dark with his stories and never lightened it up. I always thought you needed both.

I got robbed on the grade for my 163 newsstand. It came back 9.4. If pressed it would likely come out better although I personally didn't think it was necessary for a min 9.6. The colours on that cover really shoot out.

For your second set, I'd choose this order. #158 #181 #227 #168 No real explanation. Just my order of preference.

They are gems.

It is a stunner. OW in that grade wouldn't bother me at all.

29 is classic. Solid copy.

Thanks. I wonder if the popularity of the show has everyone holding on to their copies for the time being.

That is a nice copy. It's on my want list.

9/1976

I'm having great difficulty picking up books for my run. However, I finally got my hands on this one.
