  1. I had subscriptions to ASM, Cap, Avengers, and Nova from 1977-1984. Mine all came like that in the brown envelopes. Still have them (the comics, not the envelopes) and for the most part they all arrived in great condition. Still remember the name of our mailman - Al. He was a great guy and I think he knew the comics were mine and he must have handled them with some TLC. Thanks Al wherever you are!
  2. I also have a 6.5. I bought it, a 2.5 FF1, and a 7.0 ASM 101 for $8,000 in January of 2019 from a Craigslist purchase. Met at a local police station to complete the transaction! They are the only 3 graded comics I own.
  3. $7,000 for a 6.5 the other day. OW-W. Just unbelievable. https://www.ebay.com/itm/The-Incredible-Hulk-181-CGC-6-5-/133699112363?epid=23035915252&hash=item1f21168dab%3Ag%3AZx8AAOSwjuZgVVnv&nma=true&si=B2xV5%2Fj5xb%2FMboMhcr2MZKclVas%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 The seller has 3 others listed currently.
  4. You are right about Dennis Christopher. And he was great in that movie. And also right about it being a great family movie. I forced it into family movie night and my family loved it (OK they tolerated it). Kids ages 16,13,12.
  5. Sorry for double post. Breaking Away is my all time favorite underdog/feel good movie.
  6. Actually the 1966 Topps Batman cards have gone crazy as well. Especially PSA graded cards of Batman, the #1 card in the set. Shocking I know.
  7. Nice pickup. If your HFB prices like mine there was no premium for the variant!
  8. I was collecting Bats a little before and after issue number 300. Looked recently and stopped at 308
  9. https://www.nme.com/news/film/marvel-confirm-a-new-fantastic-four-film-is-on-the-way-2837310 another article with interesting comments from previous FF director Josh Trank.
  10. Honestly I cannot ever remember seeing this book before and then I saw this and one today on craigslist for 25 bucks.
  11. Marvel Team Up 141 is also from May 1984.
  12. That’s awesome. Where did you get them?
  13. I put the grader notes in my FF #1 I had on the boards a little over a year ago. Never heard anything about it being against the rules.
  14. Posted this on main page but couldn’t resist here as Bronze Age Spidey’s were my reason for getting into collecting!
  15. Shockingly easy Craigslist pick up. About five minutes from my house. This is the exact era (mid to late bronze) when I started collecting. So much fun to go through! Looks like it had been cherry picked, but still a lot of decent books and a great price!
  16. Based on what I see on net54baseball.com I believe this to be true. Not sure how to substantiate.
  17. Awesome card Doc. What is the grade? Guessing a 4 or 4.5. The card trimming scandal linked to PSA is the reason CGC is doing this. It is going to be a tough road for CGC. PSA appears to have weathered the storm. SGC has picked up some market share and Beckett is still a distant third. For CGC to dent PSA's and SGC's market share is going to be a tall order IMHO.
  18. It's a beauty. I am probably not good toward the high end of the grading scale but I'll venture a 9.2. Maybe a clean to bump? Not sure of the blue dots.
  19. Socially distant pickup for $150. The ASM 31 estimated at 7.5-8.0 in the PGM forum.
  20. No major flaws other than what you can see in the pictures. Thanks in advance!
