  1. Moving update I'll be moving out on my own on September the 1st Lawyer The guy that gave my the FF #1 and 2 to cosign said I don't have enough net worth or something like that to have those comics sent to me Recent sales Aquaman 29 2.0/2.5 copy Aquaman 29 3.0/3.5 copy Sgt Fury 5 2.0/2.5 copy Recent purchases NYX #3
  2. Geez, yeah.... I always forget to take pics. Sorry. I Did have a great time giving him the news, his eyes got really wide. And I liked seeing a nice AF15 that I knew was 100% unrestored. So many I see have tape or color touch. If he decides to sell to me you'll see it. I told my daughter to sweet talk him (he apparently has a crush on my daughter). cool use your daughter to sweet talk him you must be good friends if you're not getting a shot gun ready
  3. I don't collect Archie so it would have just been me guessing the whole time. Archies are simple. If Better or Veronica look GGA-ish on the cover... buy it. this ^
  4. death of ezikal or whatever his name is for this upcoming season of walking dead

  8. Join the club, I'll take a front cover in poor or fair condition. not to take away from this but I made a thread for marrying silver age stuff like this
  9. Recent purchases DC presents 26 Civil war #2 Star wars 81 Walking dead 144 x4 copies
  10. yup when I get the scans I'll post them and I'll get around to the star wars 1 comic as well
  11. Was this a personal collection pick up - or part of the business? If for the business - do you mind posting the grade and the cost (all costs including shipping) ? - if so I will give you an example of the math/estimating I do when evaluating an individual purchase. heck - ignore that - lets use this as an example - recent doc strange ebay sale So - doc strange 169 is a decent minor key book. I might pick one up individually with the intention of slabbing for keep or resale - in either case my "math" is the same. So - the book as a 4.5 was for sale for a total of $70 (with shipping) Preference is in hand not ebay - but it kind of works the same (though I want more buffer for an ebay sale). Looking the book over - and comparing to GPA. As a slabbed 4.5, you can get 90-100 for the book. Value track - ~ 25 to slab - if you are confident in the grade then it is a break even buy. Not bad for me - but my comics "business" is a side business and I can make pickups and break even - especially minor keys that I could sell quickly if I needed to (so I would not mind holding on to them). The true value in these pickups - is if you can determine if they are undergraded or if a press/dry clean may have a significant effect. Books in hand are much easier to evaluate - but this book actually looks like an ok candidate if you think it can get to a 5.5 or higher. Looking at the scans alone - (and assuming that the black cover is augmenting the flaws in a scan) - a 6.0 might be possible but you will be paying $20 to see (and that 20 may only result in a total of a $40 benefit in price). So - this example is a borderline one (and lest assume that it really is a solid 4.5 grade for this with upside on a clean and press) . For someone not reliant as this for income, might not have been a bad pickup. Good value and minimal loss for resale (both raw and if the buyer decides to slab). For someone trying to run a business - not a lot of meat on the bone and a risk. Better to keep that cash in hand and look for a $500 "lot" of books (or more) that have more of a bulk discount built in. when I get it I'll post scans of the doctor strange 169

  13. haha I posted my collection before but had no bites for the whole thing but I can give it another try soon
  14. that was an unexpected twist! good luck! hahaha I'll keep you guys guessing and thanks and his 1st order of business is to sell my collection to get cashflow which isn't as easy as it sounds This is an excellent start because cash flow is vital to any business. You can't eat air while waiting for that big deal. If you ever want to do this full time you'll need a steady flow of money coming in. Thanks that's what my dad is saying as well as you guys
