Infinity +1 Capital City number = 139,800 Capital City Marvel 1992 % = 19.9% Print run for Infinity War #1 was about 700,000 copies. Sooooo... Infinity -1?

Do funny AMINALS count? If not, they should

I remember once I listed a book with auto accept for 40.00 and forgot all about it.. The buyer sent an offer for 30.00, I countered with 45.00 then he offered 40.00 and got it.. I was on the phone with eBay asking them how on earth he got it for 40 while I countered with 45

Now lets see some good ones:

I heart Erma Felna

By who...? This is an assumption. Do I need to whip out my Dark Knight again...? I swear to god this is the line I used on her last time

I listed this about a month ago where were you sir

Yeah, you should see what happens. About a year I listed my Marvel Preview 4 on ebay. One guy sent me an offer and then a few minutes later hit the BIN I do that all the time. If I see something that just got listed with a cheap BIN/offer and I am willing to pay full boat, I will throw in an offer to see if it triggers the auto accept. If not, I hit the BIN before someone else can snatch it. Probably looks really strange from the seller 's perspective, but there is a reason for it. That's good info. I've had buyers do that to me, and I never knew why. +2 That info is gold. GOLD Jerry!

There you go.. Wouldve posted it in the Bronze section but this was discussed here so viola

Just want to give credit where its due to ebay seller avidcomicbookcollector who came through with my pre-order of Bats40 combos. These were all bought for cover and shipped the day of release

Actually the 1st appearance of Thor would be tonight

Bite your tongue sir. NOT Warlock!!! ...or Rom, or Power Man, or Iron Fist, or Silver Surfer, or.....well, anybody. Rom Solomon!

Sure, but creator ownership is not a significant part of any one age and it's been around, in one form or another, literally forever. Even Bob Kane had gross profit and licensing rights on Batman through the GA and SA (as did Kirby and Simon for CA, they just never got paid), Robert Crumb did self-publishing of his own creations in the 60's, along with many other Undergrounds, Atlas/Seaboard offered creator ownership of new characters in 1974-75, etc. True. But they all evolved into their own separate streams popularized by the industry. Bob Kane is known for Batman which will fall into the DC/Golden age category, Robert Crumb's underground Comix revolution. Sim, the Pini's and Spiegelman are exclusively affiliated with independent comics than anything else. I would add Will Eisner to that list if anything, but that a discussion for another time maybe..

Heyyyyy! Thos are my dad's comics!!!

I think that some events that undeniably happened before copper (such as the ones I listed for instance) have affected the copper age, and some will argue even modern. Wendy and richard pini's Elfquest, Dave Sims Cerebus and Art Spieglman's Maus (dubbed by some the first popular Graphic Novel) made the first popular breakthrough comic books that would inspire creators to publish creator-owned properties

sending these without pressing first will surely knock it off the 9.8 mark.. unless cgc treats an unbagged combo as imperfect? Pressing as in "PRESSING"!? You mean actually pressing a minty-fresh modern straight out of the bag? Is that common or is there something about this issue that necessitates pressing? Combo pack are notoriously known for having been poorly treated at the manufacturing stage. Some could easily be fixed by proper pressing

Sure, but the End of Bronze/Start of Copper will certainly be within this period of incredible change in the industry: May 1979: Daredevil 158- First Miller art Aug 1979 - Tomb of Dracula cancelled, effectively ending the Marvel BA of Horror Nov 1979: Iron Man #128 "Demon in a Bottle" Feb 1980: She-Hulk #1 Mar 1980: King Conan 1 Apr 1980: Star Trek 1 Spring 1980: Epic Illustrated 1 Aug 1980 - Tomb of Dracula Magazine cancelled Sep 1980: X-Men 137- Death of Dark Phoenix Oct 1980: DC Presents 26- first New Teen Titans Nov 1980: New Teen Titans 1 Nov 1980: Moon Knight gets his own series 1980 : Superboy Spectacular- Direct Sales only 1-shot Jan 1981: Daredevil 168- First Miller -script; Intro Elektra Jan 1981: X-Men 141- Days of Future Past launches alternate time line that would form the basis for lots of uber-fandom-based X-continuity over the next several years Jan 1981: Capital Comics launches and publishes Nexus 1 Mar 1981: X-Men 143- Final Claremont/Byrne Mar 1981: Dazzler 1- First direct-sales-only for an ongoing series Mar 1981: Bizarre Adventures starts Mar 1981: Captain Canuck is cancelled May 1981: Eclipse Magazine starts June 1981: The Hulk magazine ends Jul 1981: Fantastic Four 232 - Byrne takes over FF writing/art duties.

You know what they say about assuming... Yes, they are all first prints. Newsstand later printings have essentially been unheard of, with the exception of Superman #75. That was quite unprecedented. There's no reason to believe they have a "super low print run", other than the fact that it was a relatively new (but not the first!) format, with a higher cover price. DC didn't typically print "super low" numbers of books in the mid 80's. I suspect you haven't seen them because most sellers don't scan the back covers. You know what they say about people that suspect... No, what? Um...it's the exception to the rule that illustrated my point...? Other than that, nothing. I don't know what it is you think you're seeing. All these qoutes are getting me dizzy

This was my "grail" back when it came out. Finally picked one up last year. The comic shop I used to visit had one for $200 when it came out but no one ever saw it. Its a shame this book hasn't gone up much from that. I paid less for mine,.last year, than what it was going for in the mid/late 80s. Yeah, I picked up a stack of them, still sealed in their original boxes, 5 or 6 years ago. Couldn't move them at $250, couldn't move them at $200, sold a few between $150-$200 & then gave up. Recently I've been able to move them in the $300 range, but overall it's still cheaper than it was 25 years ago. I'm down to my last keeper copy, but would still like to see it make a price jump. I bought one maybe 6 or so years back that was still sealed in the original box for a pretty good price. I'm guessing I must've gotten it from you. I still have it and it's still sealed in the box (I guess I should've bought one to open as well). It had been one of those pieces I could only dream of owning when I was in high school and my LCS had it in their fancy "Can't Touch This" display case. Now part of me is really awed by the fact that any copies are still sealed, so I still can't touch it, I'm just hanging on to this box. Well then, its a beautiful thing. No one could own a copy of this in the 80s. This was a grail.. 600 back in the 80s would get you a VF/NM Avengers #1.. and I know what I wouldve gotten if I had that money.. Just exactly what you just got. So who cares if you bought it for 150.00, its a book you always wanted and brings you back to that time. Now you have it. And he lived happily ever after The end

Judging by the covers they look more like mouthfuls to me You've got an awfully large mouth . . . tig ol'...

When GTOG came out I sold 2 copies for 30 each.. and they were VF+ so not too sure if its heating up really

You know what they say about people that suspect... No I havent seen one because I probably sold 50 copies in my lifetime and never came across one.. Seriously man, what is it with you and Supes 75, just curious
