  13. In what sense are you a collector? I qualify as a collector since I collect comics, books, magazines, etc. because I am interested in their reading content. I mean that generally I would not collect a comic just because I like the cover, or because I like the art. I can purchase something I like but its occasional, and generally has little to do with the fact the thing is sought after (i.e. I dont care about having an Iron Man #55 at those prices). I do like rare things if they have historical value but that Punisher coloring book is mostly a curiosity, and I dont like the idea of dealers charging those prices for that, thats all. I agree with you on collecting as just to read. Back home I have probably 10-12,000 books that are cover value from 70s-90s but as a kid more was better and I loved reading them. As an adult my focus has obviously went foreign but I still feel like that same kid when my dad brought home my books every Friday from the store. Yes i wish the prices were low but that is the law of Supply and Demand... More collectors versus quantity of a book = higher prices... I agree on the IM55,some high price books have no sentimental value so I will pass....but some books I will pay 20-50 times any market value for. In stock market we do the same thing. If there is no market on a stock, we create whats called a "Market Maker" to see who will buy of we have a new stock at an (IPO) initial price offering to see how people will react. I take the same philosophy form stock market to the books. Market Makers and IPO offers get the IM55s and the Brazilian 129s and the Arabic 227s Market watchers do just that,...watch...
  14. I read that a few years back Nicolas Cage and Leonardo DiCaprio were in a bidding war for a Dinosaur skull...He paid $276,000....now THAT is RARE my friend...i dont think they are making those anymore haha Nicolas Cage and Leonardo DiCaprio apparently did not have anything better to do than spending big money. Nothing against the fossils, but c'mon As per your other question, I could have a million of different examples, but they all amount to value: it seems clear that here we are mostly speaking of desirability as a "collectible": well, I am not a collector in that sense, all I could do is recognize the dynamics which are implied in "collecting". In this sense, you are right, but Liam is also right: there are some people collecting this kind of "collateral stuff" in Italy, but I seem to get its not so common. In what sense are you a collector?

  16. I would like to hear your example of something not valuable even though it is rare or considered a collectible..... I look forward to clarification on this possible contradiction Let the debate begin!!! (thumbs u
  17. Unfortunately pornographic comics are part of our "Silver Age" Still cant see the point of that as a collectible. . well anything is a collectible one deems important, significance, value, or rarity. Petrified Dinosaur s-h-i-t is collectible... This books by 129 collectors is deemed important, significant, valuable, and Rare. If you find one please let me have it hahaha
  18. I need to order Treasury Edition backing boards and mylars...any idea where i can find them.. My poor jumbo books are all sitting on ashelf with my new ASM129
  19. it is a super RARE collectible indeed...especially if it has never been unpunched, untouched, not drawn or dots connecte... I think I have seen one of those before..... For some ODD reason...I believe you Being 2 I guess knocks it out of the "white buffalo" requirements but even there being 2 between us all, it is still veru difficult to locate Did you find your in Italy? Yes..but I think I was looking for something completely unrelated when I found it, I had seen it before but hadnt acted on it previously. YOu cant slab it because there is no story in it.... i think it is too big to slab....i dont know what is the largest slabbing #s
