People seem to like 3 better than 2 for some reason. 1st owl appearance I suppose?

I was looking at them but didn't have the pockets for them this time around. I did pretty well in the last 2 CLink. No DDs though. Did you see the high prices in CLink yesterday. I have never seen the prices climb so fast so soon!

Congrats Rob!. Those were the HA auction copies from yesterday I presume. Hopefully you got them for under GPA.

Are there any other superhero platform games like Arkham Asylum/City worth playing?

 

If you mean sandbox, I'd recommend the Infamous series, especially the second game.

Action-Adventure, what other names are out there for this type of game? Crash Bandicoot/Ratchet/Jak&Dakster/Arkham games

Infamous sounds interesting. I have to look into it.

Congrats on that DD7. I don't see high grades offered much recently.

Just in time for Christmas! Got this not too long ago. A great time of year for comics.

I received my only Sparkle city win. DD80 raw copy graded around 9.6.

Looked through it cover to cover. Grading was in the ballpark. There didn't appear to be any colour touches inside or out. No pages were missing. Page quality was ow/w IMO.

I will buy from them again. I might have risked more but I had some of the copies they were selling already.

This director has a thing against North American actors.

Great stuff everyone. Keep it coming.

The conic book has officially jumped the shark. Kill all the characters. Did Kirkman get lucky stealing Romero's work?

Given all the comments about possible inaccurate grading and possible restoration I laid down a bunch of bids tonight. I was thoroughly shut out except for 1. I couldn't see myself going all out. I managed the risk vs the bid. In the end, I wasn't unhappy with my win. DD80

Great books guys. The stories around your picks are feat.

Now that Sparkle City is mainly selling raw books, has anyone experienced any problems with them?

Is there grading accurate?

Were there any problems with books coming back with restoration?

Love this cover.

 

That is an awesome cover

I was meaning to ask you. Did you send any of your copies off to get graded or did you just buy them pre-graded?

 

I had a look at the registry 1 and 2 have an insane number of points. I wish I was financially able to start collecting DD 20 yrs ago.

 

Do you collect any other titles?

 

I've graded a fair share of books. I don't get out to conventions as much as I used to so I don't have the opportunity to look at as many raw books as I used to, but I've graded a few of the books in my Daredevil run.

 

I'm collect a few other titles. Nothing as focused as Daredevil right now. My second title is definitely Fantastic Four. Theoretically that would be from 1-293, but that's a lot more expensive than Daredevil I also pick up Silver Age Green Lanterns when I can and a few other things. I'll have to figure out what to focus on, I guess.

It's awesome you got some of them yourself. FF, ASM, and early X-Men really are a challenge finacially. DD not so much, but it has it's fans from keeping you from getting those last issues definitely. The DDs on CLINK have already gone higher than the last sale. No DD movie announcement up to 2019. Truly bizarre. At least you have time to get that DD1 and 7 .

Keep throwing up those slabs. They are a sight to see. We can sync up on the DD collection if you were ever looking to buy/sell. I have some of those issues you are looking for (probably rawa) but I am not sure I have doubles of them. I could always look and if I did, I'd give you my best guess on the grade.

My childhood favourite

Some others

There are other comics besides those with Neal's work.

A thread to the character that owned the Bronze Age.

Batman/Detective always had great covers and stories.

Is your set completely CGC graded Rob? Are you almost done the series?

 

Yes. All 9.4 or better with OW or better pages (with maybe two exceptions) and generally very good production quality. The 105 will stick out like a sore thumb, TBH.

 

I'll eventually have 1-191 and then various mini-runs beyond that. My focus right now is the 1-157 because it's WAY tougher than the Miller run. I'm nearly done.

 

I need:

 

1-5, 7

20,

31,

55,

60, 65, 66, 69,

78,

84, 86,

99,

122,

144

and Annual 3.

 

(yes, the 60s are hard!)

Well, the fact they are all slabbed is pretty impressive. The 105 is not so bad honestly. I'm not crazy about the date stamp but that's minor. Some of those issues I have trouble finding also. I don't restrict myself to slabs though, or strictly white pages either. I roughly need 4x the number of issues you need still.

Are you number 1 on the registry for DD?

I never touched his eBay sales. Seemed a little shady. Pics were awful. No returns accepted, and people were saying he didn't communicate well. Forget that!

2 left huh, congratulations. I have way more to go

I did get two more awesome raw copies recently though.

I'm in

Mycomicshop allows people who consign to set their own prices. Many set crazy prices for whatever reason. When speaking about MCS's prices, you have to distinguish between the prices they put on books and what a consigner does.

That explains the crazy sums I see for some of their books. If I were them, I would be a little more rigid with those consignors. It's their name on eBay and on their site.

The best thing I learned from the boards was the phrase 'buy the book and not the grade'. If it is a book you would enjoy if you were shopping at a booth, and certainly raw books give you that greater ability, then I wouldn't care too much about the grade.

I've seen stellar graded books from 8.5 and up.
