Ah you meant they look nice for the technical grade. They surely do, I’d love to have your #5. Going for the first edition (when possible) has been something I started to care for pretty early, not only with comics. The Mastwerworks would have been a lot better if they used uncoated paper and recolored them following the original color schemes, avoiding the ugly computer coloring of many of the first issues.

I wondered because you said "all came from reputable dealers who know how to grade" so I guessed they were bought before. Well, I am the opposite, I always strive to read the original books. And after twenty years I am giving away the Masterworks, which I have never read.

Roy is 44 so he should have conceived you at age three. All is possible with Roy, 'though.

So you had them graded but originally bought them all raw? Man, I’d be unable to keep them slabbed…

I just love Dr.X's #5! I can just imagine how it must have been reading the Torgo storyline when it came out: I was as much excited as when I started to read them there was the second Torgo-related storyline, by Roy Thomas, so Torgo is an old acquaintance, and so is Gorr, the Golden Gorilla.

The Torgo storyline is wondeful… I think I need to upgrade my #92 or #93… Love the #46 Bill, if I remember to scan them I will post my #48 rag and my Annual #6 with the Kirby signature. (thumbs u

He bought 1 book. I bought 11 I'm genuinely sorry to hear that - and I'm clear that his willingness to ignore your comments is an augury of much more. Has that problem settled? Were you able to get in touch with the seller?

It looks amazing…

I have yet to scan it – I was trying to go from start to finish, but if I remember to do so I will dig it out and scan it (there is a piece which is about to get detached from the cover).

Whatever I was reading… I need to finish it. I have the bad habit of leaving novels halfway.

Even if the picture is a bit dark it shows it’s a great copy! If I’d show you mine (a GD- or so), you’d be scared!

Dark Knight, your #48 is a beauty… I’d deslab it immediately!

#7…

The not negligible difference is that ASM #300 is actually a good story, worth having.

For that matter, in the United States – and only there – Mario Bros (or Sonic, later on) was already more popular than Mickey Mouse in the late 1980s and in the 1990s. Nothing surprises me anymore about the superficial attitude towards entertainment which large firms seems to nurture. See? You don’t even need verbs, or any grammar anymore with Deadpool. And he kills people. What do you want more?

If someone gives me an offer, and I tell them I will get back to them on it, I get back to them before selling it. And that pretty much seals the question, valid for everyone. (thumbs u

This one's nicer . . . Good grief...I have so had enough of wasting my breath on this topic. If you choose to make money selling this way, that's your choice, but I really have no idea how you sleep at night. A line of dirt all the way down the cover, near the spine. A significant impact crease at the bottom of the spine (very visible from the back) and a smaller one up top. Last time I mention it, cuz you'll obviously keep doing what you do, but man that is just brutal. Jim Besides divad's grading (which in these grades you really can’t tell unless you can have the book in hand) that is clearly not a big impact crease, and the "line of dirt" is not dirt bur rather some kind of ink smudge, production related, and very common with these books. I agree divad is not the king of pleasantville, but let’s be objective: that one can be a NM as well as a NM+ or a NM/MT – you just can’t tell from a scan that size. :shrug:

Super-sweet #22 – were you missing it? "Furriner" sounds like a "furry foreigner", and it’s pretty funny…

Just because it‘s the first appearance of the Inhumans, as a race and of the Royal Family I guess. The fact that they will supposedly used them in some movie helped to boost the book, but I agree it’s exaggerate for the 45 alone, as the 36, 46 and 47 are equally important – and not only these. :shrug: @Billy: great copy, and you rescued it from Europe.

Andy is a much agreeable collector, he purchased a Fantastic Four book I auctioned here on the boards, paid immediately and great overall communication. I would definitely deal with him any time, either as a buyer or a seller. Thank you very much! (thumbs u

+1 No matter what, Robert is always right. (thumbs u

Jerry sold me a graded Fantastic Four #5 (SS-R with Stan Lee signature) and was so nice to include in the deal two reader copies of other early issues that I missed. He was also enough patient to help me save as much as possible on shipping by using a custom box instead of a Flat Rate which would have costed more, and books were packed well protected. A class seller all around – many thanks!

I think pricing is another matter. If he wants to ask an aggressive price it’s his choice (and his risk) – people who buy Walking Dead comics know how they are going, I guess. On grading it should be accepted to make an observation, and not seen as threadcrapping, IMO. :shrug:
