  1. Hahahahaha - ya I triple matted them with a foam spacer between the bottom mat and the next two to give it some depth. It may be a bit overkill - but I have a personal collection to both story lines, so these are keepers in my collection forever, so I thought I may as well spend the little extra to frame the way I wanted it done
  2. Thanks everyone - I figured it would likely run $3K minimum for a piece from his X-Men run and it seems like my suspicions were correct. I do not need a splash, just looking for a simple panel page - so I wills tart hunting
  3. My first two framed pieces: - Batman 494 - Knightfall Page - Action 685 - Funeral for a Friend Page Both with acid free mats, Archival Glass and archival corners (thanks to this board for all the tips)
  4. Trying to figure out if it is feasible to buy a Jim Lee page from X-Men #4, 5 or 6 from the 1991 series - and by feasible I mean I am trying to figure out what a Jim Lee page from this run would cost? obviously not looking for an exact amount - but more a range ie., $1,000-2,000 or $2,000-3,000 etc. Thanks for any help and feel free to PM.
  5. Price drops: take both Wolverine books for $150.00 take the Batman 497 for $230.00 with shipping included
  6. Hello all, been lurking/posting/buying for awhile on the boards and have started selling. I have purchased quite a few books from established boardies so if you need any references just let me know and or check out my kudos thread here: http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=9184022#Post9184022 Some rules and general information: 1) trumps any PMs or ongoing negotiations. 2) Shipping - I am located in Canada and everything will ship from here (no import fees for US customers as I understand it). I package very well and this book will be boxed and packed with extreme care. Shipping will only be to Canada or the continental U.S. Shipping will cost $10.00 (it will be more than this but I will cover it) unless stated otherwise 3) Acceptable forms of payment: Paypal only here. 4) No HOSers or problem children. Your $$ is no good here. I also reserve the right not to sell to someone on my personal do not sell to list. It would help if the buyer is a member with solid feedback on the boards (PM me to discuss if you have little or no feedback please). 5) All prices in $USD. 6) All slabs are in great shape unless noted otherwise (I will make specific notes where needed). 7) No returns on CGC graded books. 8) If you need more photos I am happy to accommodate - just let me know (sorry for the glare - I don't have a scanner ) 9) Feel free to PM me offers or questions. Wolverine #2 CGC 9.8 - White Pages - from the 1988 regular series - the first 10 issues have great back cover Wolverine Images - Asking Price: $70.00 Wolverine #10 CGC 9.8 - White Pages - from the 1988 regular series - it was when published the 1st Wolverine vs Sabretooth story - but I think there was a retcon somewhere along the way - Asking Price: $100.00 Batman 497 CGC 9.8 Newsstand Copy - a very tough book to find as a 9.8 Newsstand - GPA has a couple sales denoted as newsstand with the last couple of sales at $300.00 and $330.00 - Asking Price: $245.00 SOLD
  7. Thinking about taking my 5 year old so. (well a few months shy of 5) - wondering whether it is too scary? So for those that have seen it - is it too scary for a 5 year old and if yes is it just certain parts? ie. I am ok taking him for an hour or so if that would work. For reference he has seen Big Hero 6 and was ok with it.
  8. Just saw it tonight ....... the Good: it was visually very well done, Black Manta and Ocean Master were good comicbook representations, it was a fun turn your brain off movie, the Bad: the acting was not great and the writing/dialogue was terrible, story line was predictable, and a lot of plot holes. Overall not a good movie - it was better than Suicide Squad and Justice League, but much worse than BvS and Wonder Woman and Man of Steel
  9. Well this sounds like fun - thanks in advance, I am very interested in these results
  10. Any safes you can recommend - just starting to research, so would appreciate a shortcut/reco
  11. Thinking about picking up a safe and I read through this thread: and was wondering what safes people on this board were using for storage of CGC slabs at home? I am thinking about picking up a small/medium size safe to store about 10-12 slabs and was looking at some options from Sentry like this one: https://www.sentrysafe.com/product/SFW123GSC But cannot find too much info about the fire-proofing materials they use. Wondering if I should forego a fireproof safe OR if using silica packets (and changing every few months) would take care of the problem - the thread linked above is a bit inconsistent. So looking to see what people on the boards are using and how long they have been using them (without incident)? Not as concerned about Fire as I am about theft.
  12. Finally back in the club! It has been two years since I sold my 8.5 so happy to be back in - even if I had to settle for a lower grade copy
  13. And I just picked up my Hulk 181 (mentioned above) - this has to bump the AV4 and Superboy 68 Down a peg
  14. This thread needs to be on page 1 with the quality of the books in here ....... plus there is an imposter thread
  15. Was just going to post this coupon - now someone use it on my ebay listings - same seller handle
  16. Wow - this thread never ceases to amaze - especially with a Tec 27 sighting I had a big year (by my standards) on rebuilding my collection after I sold most of it for a house down payment two years ago (which was well worth it for me and the family). I was really sad when I sold my Showcase 22 - so was thrilled to pick-up the copy below. I had been hunting a Batman 47 in low grade for A LONG time and the house purchase delayed the acquisition - so I was SUPER PUMPED to add it to the collection this year and it is my first Golden Age Book as well. I couldn't decide between my thrid and fourth place - as I had wanted both a Superboy 68 and Avengers 4 for quite some time, so I am going to cheat and add both in I should note that ALL of these books were obtained from fellow boardies as well - and that (among other things) is why this forum is so great! EDIT: I also have a Hulk 181 CGC 5.0 on its way, but no good pic to share - it would bump the AV4 and Superboy 68 down - and it was also obtained from a fellow boardie (I can't wait to get it in my hands as I have been sad about selling my 8.5 copy a couple years ago)
  17. Had a smooth transaction with Remy for a Hulk 181 - he was great with shipping and kept in constant contact until the book arrived. Thanks again!
  18. Hmmmn maybe I should discount my fixed price listings by 5-10% to further incentivize
  19. ASM1 is a great book and while AF15 will always be THE KEY spidey book ASM1 is certainly next in line and a top 10 Marvel Silver Age book. What I wonder is whether/how much more ASM1 would be worth if it contained the First Spider-Man - i.e., I think if Spidey appeared in ASM1 first (and AF15 did not exist) then ASM1 would be more expensive than AF15 currently is - or to put it another way, I wonder how much more AF15 would be worth if it was also the start of Spider-Man's flagship title ....... obviously we will never know what the delta would be, but I think it would not be insignificant.
  20. I also prefer #3 (but am actually more drawn to #6) - BUT I think #14 is the bigger "key" (but #3 is more difficult to find than 14 for what it is worth).
  21. Agreed - but Stormshadow is pretty close in popularity IMO - but definitely Snake Eyes on the Joe side (but Road Block, Sgt. Slaughter and Duke were personal favs as well )
