  1. Or like a runway model. It will be purging soon.
  2. This thread is like a runaway locomotive. I think it'll go supersonic next.
  3. That's custom title material if I ever saw it.
  4. I think if you don't start reading more and posting less before you try to make a point that has been made a billion times before, then people are going to learn to ignore you.
  5. Most of your posts are condescending. Almost everyone in this thread reading your posts have already thought and written about the same things that you are saying 10 times over but you're talking to everyone like they are 5 year old school kids and you are the teacher. It's actually pretty annoying to read your wall of posts only to find out that you are stating the obvious over and over. That's a good way to start off the day.
  6. No I'm here to happily click graemlins, learning and discussions are for , also I enjoy a foot up my every now and then, even if it is from my brother +1 I thought this place was all about the clicking.
  7. Did you use a time machine to acquire this one Roy? It's part of a nice original owner collection I picked up. The Marvels were surprisingly fresh and white.
  8. I liked Sal's posts, all Aok with him? Sal's just married and living life. I think he stepped outside one day and never looked back.
  9. Well, just got this puppy graded. Cover is as blue and bright as any fresh copy I have ever seen when held in hand. It just looks a little grey in the scan.
  10. Whatever would you do? After sobbing myself to sleep (or passing out from a glue sniffing extravaganza), I'd then spark a nationwide craze all the kids will call "Where's The Ginger?", based on my reality TV show that will rival The Walking Dead for ratings among 18-45 breakstick armed men. I am a lost soul without my Ginger. To prove it I wrote a rap song about me being a lost board member. My home boys, fan boys, Missing out on "G" The forum where the breadstick, Armed men can be. Lost without the forum Dawg, Got nuthin' with to spin. Nobody mocking me, For the s**t I'm sittin' in. No one there to spin it when, I'm Runnin' with my dawgs. I'm scratchin' like cave men, On the cave walls. That's all I got right now.
  11. Wow, I thought he did a great job on AF #15...in fact it's the only time he's ever done a terrific job on a Spidey illustration IMO...personally, I think ASM #1 is the worst rendered cover of all the 1961-1964 Marvel keys. I`m in total agreement with Roy!

  13. Gang, there is a really nice Action Comics #21 CGC 5.5 white pages for sale in the marketplace at a reduced price in case anyone has any interest. Thanks for looking! Link.
  14. Sure but it started almost two years ago...now it seems to have leveled off. The last sale for a 7.0 was late last year for over $2K. Where was that?

  16. The Lewis Wayne Gallery is associated with Heritage in some way. I'm not sure of the details but there is a connection.
  17. I've sold to Cycle Girl. Great buyer!
  18. Obviously (or at least I thought it was obvious) I am extrapolating from lower grade sales prices. if you can get a copy of Whiz #1 for 4 figures in low or restored grade then that says something about the book`s value because you sure can`t get a copy of Superman or Batman #1 for that price.
  19. Whiz Comics #2 (#1) = underrated in this day and age. Yup. Terrific art work for the period, classic story, one of the greatest heroes of the Golden Age...and apparently he can beat Superman in a fight because Supes is susceptible to magic. Who knew? Reading it as a kid is one of the most heartwarming memories I have as a kid, and I forgot that until I reread the story recently. Glad I finally got a copy.
  20. I think it was actually more valuable in the guide. One problem has been that the book was harder to find than the big DC books before the internet but Heritage has had the same few copies of Marvel #1 (especially the CGC 9.0 Pay Copy) come to market several times giving the impression that the book is "not that hard to find". Couple that with the internet talk of how there are "no relevant A tier characters" in the book and people likely step back from the book. To me it's still one of the greatest (and should be) most valuable comics of all time. What do I know, I'm a Marvel Zombie? I feel the same way about Whiz 2 (1) too.
  21. But SC #22 does not have Neal Adams artwork........ If it did, I think it would be even more valuable than Action #1 and Detective #27... combined! I would not go that far. Marvel Comics #1 and Captain America Comics #1 combined is probably a safer bet. I`ve got old newspaper that`s been used to wrap fish that`s worth more than a Marvel Comics #1. True enough! I think we should be careful, though, as we don't want to attract the MC #1 trolls to this thread...... I'm sending angry vibes towards Tim.
  22. Don't feel bad. I sold a raw 2.5/3.0 and a raw 3.0/3.5 (or something like that) for about $600 total and then they both flipped for double that a few weeks later. I had no idea how hot the book was.
  23. Iron Maiden was huge for me back in the early 80s. I think somewhere I still have my "Killers" album cover poster and a long sleeved t-shirt from the '84-'85 World Slavery Tour. That World Slavery tour was pretty big at the time. They did something like in excess of 200 shows that year and toured extensively behind the iron curtain. Not a big deal today but it was back then. It was also the first and only cassette tape I ever stole from a department store.
