The cards on these figures are notoriously shoddy. And it's not exclusive to Walmart. I got my retro card Storm Shadow and Zartan from Hasbro and they were fairly bent up. Wish they'd use a sturdier cardstock.
I thought I read that moving forward, the GI Joe retro figures will feature a thicker cardstock.

I believe some sports collectible auctions at Heritage have featured extended bidding for a while now too.

Interesting. How does one price a Ditko Spidey page that features almost every key character from the Spidey-verse at that time, with one notable exception?
It's showing up in Comicconnect past auction results from 2021 selling for $133,000. Great page!

Nice Archie pickups! I would say pieces with Betty &/or Veronica, when drawn well, can go for pretty good money. Other stuff with not much going on art wise can be quite cheap. As far as artists go, to my untrained eye, "Prize Size" looks like Al Hartley. "Still Life" looks like Dan Decarlo. I'd have to look at some other pieces more closely. Congrats on some cool additions!

So this Batman piece started as a "commission preliminary sketch" then sold & became an "unused pencil cover prelim" with new stat, and now is a "Batman 66 cover / design lost episode #1" with new stats replacing other stat and then put on a board? Ok then.

I've actually done several, what I would consider, successful trades with dealers. Most of the time the negotiations went very well and I got fair value in trade. Maybe a couple times I traded something knowing I left a little money on the table. But, that was giving something up I had less affinity for than the item I acquired. Sure I've seen a few of my pieces show up at higher markups than expected, but I've not regretted the deals at all.

Some pieces I was following:
Steve Ditko The Amazing Spider-Man #36 Story Page 11 for $100k. Is it just me or was this insanely light for a page with Spidey in action in every panel?
John Romita Sr. and Mike Esposito Amazing Spider-Man #52 Story Page 16 for $137,500. This seemed very strong to me.
I agree on these two. Real nice buy for whomever got the Ditko piece. I was thinking $125,000 at least. Strong price on the Romita, especially with the amateur restoration. Though, large art Romita Spider-man work doesn't become available too often.

Did most people here play with modules from TSR? My friends and I never played with modules. Quite frankly, they were all inferior to the games we would come up with ourselves.
Yes! We almost never used modules ourselves. I loved spending hours creating maps on grid paper and writing up an adventure my friends could go on. So, I basically bought the Basic Set & a couple Monster Manuals and used those. I did think the modules were cool though. I still have most of the maps/adventures/player profile papers I had from the early 80s and it's fun to look back on them now.

Thank you for putting this together. Lots of good information and resources here.

If it was the Vamp I would have insta-clicked it as that was the first vehicle I ever owned.
I am still on the fence on this one. Apparently we are waiting for SDCC before they announce the Ghost from Rebels for the 3.75" line and that is what I REALLY want.
Meanwhile it is at 9,870 backers out of the required 10,000.
This thing is getting funded.
The Dragonfly did turn out quite nice, and I'll consider it in the next 30 days. However, it was not one of my favorites in the 80s line, so I never had the original. I was really hoping for a Vamp or Wolverine.

Great stuff, especially the Long Halloween page. Any chance you are setting up at C2E2?

Anyone here collect the Mondo Masters of the Universe 12" scale figures? The Trap-Jaw looks great and is up for pre-order now, but closes tomorrow morning I believe.

The new GI Joe Classified figures just came up for preorder on Hasbro Pulse, and they all look really good! My wallet just took a beating...
Agreed, they all do look really good. I especially love the Copperhead, as he is one of my favs from my childhood.

Loving the Classified Trouble Bubble. Thanks for posting the news F for Fake. I didn't pay much attention to this line at first, but when the HISS was offered, I decided to get some figures to make a small display when it arrives. The figures keep looking better and better too - Crimson Guard, Bat, Cobra Officer...

Transformers: The Movie #1 cover by Perlin went for $102,000. Higher than I thought it would go, but I'm sure it hits a nostalgic sweet spot for many.

What's up with the bid counts on Comiclink?
in Original Comic Art
Posted
Very hefty price on this Campbell piece at $25,250. Though the 3rd highest bidder was only at $16k.
