    It blows my mind that the verbiage on the notes section of a CGC label...which isn't even part of the service, just a freebie bonus...means so much to so many people.

     

    I simply cannot fathom it.

     

    In my day, you knew what a Hulk #181 was, a New Mutants #87, a Man of Steel #18, a Spidey #194....you either knew it, or you learned it.

     

    Now...?

     

    :shrug:

     

    "But the CGC label note says X! I need it so say Y!! It has to say Y, or it's WORTHLESS to me!!"

     

    :ohnoez:

     

    :golfclap: +1

     

    Back in the olden days, we just held up a copy of X-Men #244, and if someone asked why it was important, we just said "It's the first appearance of Jubilee!"

     

    I don't need a label note to tell me that Swamp Thing #37 is the first appearance of John Constantine. If you do...you should probably do a little more homework.

    Hey y'all :hi:

     

    Sorry if my sales thread created any heated discussions but guess I am glad in a round about way to help contribute to improving the sales threads and this community.

     

    P.S. I tried to alter my thread so all subjective comments were removed.

     

    No way was my pricing reflective if someone had a grade bump from a press or clean. I try to price my books lower than feebay in similar current grades.

     

    all the best

    You heard it here first, New Avengers 54 will be the next book to have!

     

    A nice read and if you are a Brother Voodoo fan.... he becomes the Sorcerer Supreme in this book. :gossip:

     

    Can still be had for reasonable prices if you can't afford ST169 and with rumors he could be in Doctor Strange Movie, might be worth the risk :baiting:

    So funny at the LCS yesterday; someone came in and asked if they had Strange tales 169. Owner looked and said no.

     

    Than the owner got a phone call no more than 5 minutes later and someone asked for a particular book, he went and looked and than came back to the phone and said I have it (was a strange tales 159) you want me to hold it, and I than he said oh..... 169 no I thought you said 159, I just checked on that same for a customer in the shop so sorry no I don't have it.

     

    Apparently the word spreads beyond these threads, just thought it was funny as I had already looked in his strange tales box weeks ago.

    I know who they are.

    I have ZERO interest in owning their 1st appearance.

     

    Simple as that. Let other people sink money in them, while I buy what I like.

     

    There so many books I perceive as "Keys" that I can buy for $725 in high grade.

    And I could care less about movie speculation on them.

     

    People are worried the "bubble" will pop with all this madness, but short term, I think it is great.

    Filling dealer's pockets with money, more books will be bought from collectors, and repeat.

    Helps me find books too, maybe just not the same ones.

    I hear you on that but unfortunately for me ST 169 is a book I've wanted slabbed in high grade for a while because of my love for the series, same goes for Omega the Unknown #1 which doesn't show up too often in 9.6/9.8. It's like being into an underground band for years that has small following, they explode overnight and you never get to see them in a bar or small club again (*ahem Nirvana)

     

    LOVE this analogy. Love both books you mentioned as well!

    We can agree to disagree on this one, cameo at best. Secret war #5 is first full and origin. Please read the series to see for yourself.

    She appears in over 6 panels and speaks - how is that a cameo? Unless your saying part 5 came out before issue 2. lol

     

    :facepalm:

     

     

    Panel count doesn't count if you can barely see a character and they are just sitting off to the side. Her speaking part was one minor speech ballon - you are really digging for something to say this is the first appearance.

     

    So you probably think ASM #1 is the first appearance of Cindy Moon (silk) - instead of #4 - modern example

     

    You probably think FF67 is the first full appearance of Warlock - silver example

     

    I could go on and on - collectors, and readers will determine which is Key. Either way I don't see "Daisy Johnson" as a character to hold long term collectability either way.

     

    Just warning those who go invest in modern books during this craze. Do your research. If I had #2 and #5 side by side, I would always read #5 first, invest and or collect in it as well.....won't be doing either but just saying.

    Apparently some of you wasted your money on #2 already and are just upset. Also daisy only was a key to secret war in the final book of the series which was #5.

     

    Read all 5 on marvel unlimited last night than re-read them ALL. again to figure out why folks wanted number 2 at all ???
