Silver age comics that are heating up
Microchip replied to rabidwolf's topic in Silver Age Comic Books
Can you provide any evidence of her appearing in this book? Her name mentioned at least 3 or more times on the cover perhaps? -

Correct. Probably what could be more indicative would be the 9.6 sales figures. There are plenty of copies popping up. @Runeare you happy to share what you paid for your stunning 9.8 copy? I'm guessing, well under the Heritage result.

The Silver Surfer Collecting Thread
Microchip replied to comicgrinder's topic in Silver Age Comic Books
It would have to have been a semi regular thing. But as a printer, you'd be trying to get a book printed a single batch of paper stock. I'll ask my artist gf. I was showing her my platinum Sandman #50's a while back, and she explained pre-digital printing era, the silver star's on the cover, and the other bits were really tricky to get right in the printing process. There was a strong margin for error with what they were trying to achieve on the cover. This being a 90's book, the 60's, and 70's certainly would have had their own issues we would not be intimately aware of. -

I was told by a knowledgeable auction dealer in the UK, many years ago, #3 was made with mixed paper stock, which is why it's so rare to see the white page designation on this book. -

SS #2 Northland is 9.6 OW/W SS #3 Northland is 9.4 OW I've got more Northlands, and do I regard it as a pretty good pedigree, but you might have a point. Externally, particularly back covers, they present very well. There is some weak books in the collection, and some staggering stellar books as well. -

amaaaaazing accomplishment! i see a few of my old copies in there! i hope you find number 1 in 9.6 with WP at some point. if i hear of one, i'll let you know! The Rocky Mountain #1 would be WP. The two Boston #1's, one was a genuine 9.8 WP, and the other copy was resubbed from a 9.6. It's a W/OW pagers 9.8. Northland copy..?? Twin Cities... Sacha News.. ?? Western Penn, I don't think they have surfaced yet/exit?? Slobidan..? -

The story is understood that issue 3 was made with mixed paper stock, which is why you never see the book in white pagers. An old timer will need to second this, for general verification. -

The reality is the $20k result would of prompted a few guys to wrestle their no3's from their collection, and bring to the auction blocks. Would they of appeared on the market without the result of your purchase? No.3 is easily the least traded book in the run 9.2 and up. I personally waited years for a high-grade copy, and just grabbed them when they appeared. And at the time, what was nose watering prices. So we all do what we felt right doing at the time. Looking back, 2022 and beyond could be drought. And the book you got, was the Slobidan copy, old label... The 9.8's are still banking around the $40k mark, so your price point isn't bad. I kind of think the Dec 2021 sale was a fortunate pickup for the buyer. There simply isn't an unlimited supply of this book in grade. And to prove the point, this fugly 9.8 still got $37k!!! -

This one got caught in the Wandavision speculation hype. If you wanted one at that time, that's what they cost. If you had a crystal ball looking into the future, you could have held off. I'm curious to see how 2022 goes. -

Wachowskis' THE MATRIX 4 starring Keanu Reeves (5/21/21)
Microchip replied to Bosco685's topic in The Movie Forum
The other movies worked because Keanu was the weakest actor in the room, and in this movie he's the strongest. And there's a lot of love for Keanu, but as a big punching actor, that's not him. All the other other actor's in this movie are forgettable, or bordering on annoying (Jada). And Barney Stinson as the bad guy, and the other guy, they're just too weak.. poorly cast. They were light years away from Hugo Weaving, they had zero gravitas. And the same for Morpheus take two. Joking, and dressing like he's about to go on a Carribean holiday, just lost it for me.- 461 replies
