Another weekend, another yard sale. Paid $70 after a little negotiation for this small stack of books. The guy kept bringing out his old boxes. I found the Sally Forth in between other adult comics sandwiched inside a porno mags box

The teenage nostalgia those Gen13 covers stir  . No matter how many copies I have, I always hang on to the mini-series and #1 variant issues when I find them in collections. It's recently spilled into a second short box.

It's not just Marvel/DC, there's lots of "photocopy" Warren, Creepy, Eerie, Vampirella listings too.

awesome book, glwts!

No color breaks 8.5 really?

I'm not defending, however if there are truly no color breaks, which I recall they don't always note if stress lines are color breaking or not, how bad was the cover creasing?

Yeah, this Estate Sale guy knows comics, but he's also usually willing to negotiate a bit.  

I'd say my Estate Sale was a success if I got $4100 for a single item like a comic book.  I didn't get a look at the book, but it was raw of course and probably fully valued and maybe overvalued.

100%, pretty big risk paying that much under duress and in a rush. $4100 seems like a pretty specific price too, so I'm guessing at best he paid retail. I hope there's no inconspicuous color touch, etc...

look at the awful number alignment and font size differences; this belongs in the "where in the world was quality control" thread... sheesh

Two of my three 2/24 received regular moderns are still in SFG.

it'd really be great if CGC would divulge how they work through the SFG backlog for each tier. I wonder if it's value based (to get highest dollar books off premises asap), seniority of submitter, proximity of box to box picker, etc...

Moved into GEI today.

You give me hope, my regular modern sub received on 3/14 is still in SFG

Came across these suggestive panels today in DC Comics Presents #59... looks like there is a lot more going on than ear touching

Look at the size of Flash's hand.... and then how tiny Dale's is.

STOP MAKING FUN OF MY FAVORITE COVERS!!!! 

that hand is all sorts of messed up, where's the thumb (seems like her hand is in a really unnatural position) ? I don't have a copy of this book, does she have any fingernails? I can't tell from the scan.

Flash! Ah-aah! King of the IMPOSSIBLE!

Sheesh, his color coordination is atrocious, purple adult size onsie, green tights, orange cummerbund, red cape.... you can tell the girl is thinking the same thing, she's not leaning in, she's pushing away.

You have to look at it, if you like 122 better you should buy it first

I was unfamiliar with this cover so I had to Google what it looks like. 

Is it some weird lighting or is the whole top of that cover crunched? I mean I guess it's the later if it's in this thread..... that's really bad.

Wow that's awesome and at the same time sad.

People actually have magazines graded? I thought the only important "magazines" were early TMNT issues...

Apparently I've had too much to drink tonight

I can't even wrap my head around the hammer price on this, maybe it's because I don't have nearly the same amount of you money..

I'd love to know if this was investment speculation or the person really loves black spandex Spidey. Each day that passes collecting these old pieces of paper becomes a little less affordable for the everyday person.

Have you looked at the census numbers to help you decide? There are a TON more ASM 361's than Hulk 340's and ASM316's. If it were my money and my situation, I'd go Hulk 340 every single day. There's fewer graded, it's a less popular title than ASM, so my brain equates that to less supply (both graded and raw). It's an iconic McFarlane cover but it's also really simple and clearly digestible. I look at 361 and to me it seems too busy; it takes a few seconds for my brain to get oriented and figure out what I'm looking at.

Exactly. And the guy who knew nothing about comic books was so nice when we chatted. Facebook saw Detroit or whatever, hood, African American guy in his late20's/30s ish with old comic books and the replies followed. I messaged him, we had a good chat per say, and everything fell in place. I even helped him get Paypal verified, verified receipt of shipment so his money was released by Paypal and then i bought everything else he still had....duplicates of the 47,48,57,54,55 ect ect ... its funny how a little chat, human interaction, with someone so far away, judged by others, turned out good for everyone...and NO i didnt pay $5 a book!!! He got plenty of funds...$1000's of dollars

Better hope the 1099K thread posters don't spill over and see this; they'll complain how you've harmed this guy and his situation by making him get a 1099K next year...

Talk about PERSONAL collection... can something like this press out?

I was thinking about it however technically I don't think the indentation alone is keeping this book out of a higher grade considering the tears and the line breaking crease.

Looks like a bindery defect to me
