  1. Man, Bats 1's are everywhere. Never suprises me to see one I have never seen before. great price IMO as well for this book I'd get it take the extra staples out and decide on what to do with the trimmed centerfold personally
  2. I wouldn't touch that one id leave as is beautiful!
  3. Great stuff everyone! I had no idea as to the extent of his appearances during the 10 cent age! wow (and Loki to boot!)
  4. Cap 1 from 1941 has a story on Thor's brother and mentions Thor the god of thunder on the splash page
  5. GL Rules. why the delay?? ryan reyonolds movie? (maybe the don't want to pull a spider man)
  6. it was the best looking one in that price range on the Bay I think someone must have just been itching to get one now and pulled the trigger Definitely a new record for .5
  7. what did it cost you for a walk through on a book like this?
  8. Garfield>Tobey>Nicholas Hammond ASM 2 was a stinker but Garfield had major potential I liked Tobey too for the record a combo of two would have been right on
  9. As a kid in the 70's and 80's I remember DD 1 ST 110 and TTA 27 being like the 3rd tier of collectible books from Marvel but considered key books nonetheless I don't ever remember Av 4 being considered like it is today. although extremely impt for a multitude of reasons relating to Cap it is not his first appearance and I think is being made up for in this way with SA collectors or because so many are priced out of the market with a Cap 1 . cap 1 prices are absolutely crazy and I don't see them falling back to Earth this book has probably taken over Marvel Comics 1 as the #1 Marvel book (timely) of all time even though I believe there are more available
  10. Wonder how much of that is due to Cap 1 's being priced out of the market for many collectors
  11. apologize in advance as Im assuming this might have been a thread already but can't seem to find it. which is the "bigger book" to you? pound for pound $ does 1 always top 4 in terms of sales?
  12. Dude! The Gotham collection is blowing UP!!!! COngrats!
  13. I use this thread to increase my posts---does that answer the question?
  14. Love seeing a Tec 38 in a sig line--great collection!
  15. Nicest 1.8 Blue I remember seeing. ( Your Hulk 1 and FF 1 present fantastically too btw for their grade)
  16. Why is this book a 1.0? gorgeous copy! congrats! can you tell us where you found it?? I don't think Ive ever seen a label where the pages are labeled "brown"
  17. another pre robin tec on ebay Blue label .5 #35 always happy to see some .5's hit the market giving people a chance to own one http://www.ebay.com/itm/Detective-Comics-35-Classic-Cover-Early-Golden-Age-Batman-DC-1940-CGC-5-/311277573250?pt=US_Comic_Books&hash=item487996d482
  18. Ever since the trailer this forum has been at the top of the threads lately guess this book is due for a comeback like peops have been saying for a while
  19. Movies, cartoon shows /movies etc are HELPING keeping things relevant for the NEXt generation all these kids in Batman shirts and backpacks aren't wearing them because of the comics per say it helps them get into the books in many cases Bats 1 is a great book IMO mainly because of the Joker.....yes its a #1 and has one of the coolest covers around but its not the first appearance of Batman nor Robin (the 2 iconic heroes---which usually fuel sales) what Wayne-Tec was getting at I think was the new suicide squad movie and the fact that Jared Leto is on board to play the Joker (which I guess will be some sort of arkham asylum version) further putting the joker into the mainstream consciousness which will fuel more attention to the book etc you think Captain America #1 is where it was compared to 5 years ago without the movies success?
  20. Missed that one! I think that went relatively cheap! Ive seen a .5 Blue in worse shape than that go for 8k via CC The number of these books on the mkt never cease to amaze me I think they got a steal
