  1. Misquote or does he really believe it? Agree or disagree? Which one will go highest tonight? A1 or T27 ...
  2. It's so pretty!!! Someone pull the trigger on that thing! I aint gonna sink that kinda dough into a funny book. Its too harsh on my budget.
  3. Do I see left FC amateur scissor trim ?
  4. If you were asked to condense your GA marketreport for the last year (keys) into just a few sentences, what would youre overall message be? (thumbs u
  5. price point on the #27 is probably moving up too fast to be frozen as "a point" in a survey. Actually. 27 is probably the most steady right now. Pretty much 80-85k a point for low to mid. On what sales data do you base these two claims (most steady + 80K a point) ?

  7. Wow. I know these books have been on the upswing, but am surprised how pricey these have become. How much would you deduct for extensively restored copies? I'd love to add a restored 35 to my collection...
  8. Hey completist, why d'ya leave out #27 ?
  9. Some old-time baseball groupies were probably familiar with it as well. Take it down to the bone home ... he he

  11. Glad that I carry with me my personal 'bulldetector' everywhere I go ...
  12. What was the restoe on it? slight amateur CT?
  13. These fellas not exactly art school representatives. More like buisness executives.
  14. Marvel 1 is very cyclical. Periods where supply appears ample and periods (like now) where supply seems limited. It is the first marvel but the book has taken a back seat to action, detective, superman, batman and even captain America among its own ranks. Whats the rough guesstimate on the C-cnect sligth (P) copy?
  15. How does the supply/demand equation look for Marvel Comics #1 ?
  16. How significant is Tec26 iyo being the first ever mention of the "Bat-Man" (text only) ?
  17. No one is denying that this is the first appearance of Wolverine and that it is significant. However, it is not the famous, iconic image that the Hulk #181 cover is, which is why the #181 cover is more significant, even if it is the second appearance of the character. There are people, like myself, who know the OA landscape, know who the usual suspects are for this piece, and what they are likely to pay and not pay, both for the #180 page and the #181 cover should it surface. I'm not saying that $750K-$1mm is impossible, but it would be a total guess/leap of faith and certainly not based on any facts, logic, comps, or any other kind of information that dialed-in collectors have at their disposal. "If I had unlimited funds" guesses square away with reality about as often as transitive property arguments like "well, if the ASM #328 cover sold for $657K, then this better piece should sell for more". Fact is, we've seen many pieces better than the ASM #328 cover sell for much less since that particular sale, and comic collectors playing Fantasy OA are rarely clued in about what actual collectors might pay as opposed to their conception of relative importance and valuation. And, before anyone suggests it, no, Hugh Jackman won't be buying the piece. It's always one of the usual suspects - people in the hobby forget that it takes a special kind of lifelong clinical psychosis to rationalize spending hundreds of thousands of dollars for a Herb Trimpe Wolverine page; having a lot of money is simply not enough to get outsiders to pull the trigger. Quote: " people in the hobby forget that it takes a special kind of lifelong clinical psychosis to rationalize spending hundreds of thousands of dollars for a Herb Trimpe Wolverine page" If this is true I guess we should ponder the POS of aquiring a Boardie-Shrink ...
  18. darn little to me cf. ' love me some trim / hate me some ...' etc. etc.
  19. Who benefits from this fiasco? PGX does. food for thought ...
  20. Isnt the restoe check the gold standard that's supposed to distinguish CGC from PGX ...?
