Just curious... why do a few copies have "beauty marks" on the woman's left cheek? I picked up a copy over the summer with one and somehow missed that.

I was unable to find this thread when I searched. How bizarre. Anyway, my copies below! Bring me DOOM!!!

Thank you. I'll close this one and post there!

All the other big Silver Age keys have their own club threads, but I can't seem to find one for Dr. Victor Von Doom. If one exists and is buried deep in the archives, please tag me in it and I'll dust this one. Never before has any one human being been as totally supreme, as invincibly superior, as Doom. Surely this issue deserves it's own thread! **UPDATE** Consider this thread dusted. Doom Lives! In this thread here:

There is some. Slight discoloration and browning is common on a lot of silver and Bronze books with white covers. It's subtle but noticeable. The other 9.8 didn't seem to have it.

The discoloration in the center of the CL 9.8 book probably didn't help. Perhaps a little bit of "buy the book, not the grade" factored in here.

Is this site accurate? I usually use this: https://130point.com/sales/

I was very confused about that 129 result. Was it signed or Mark Jewelers or something? I tried looking it up again but can't find it.

Would an actual receipt be necessary to prove a purchase or sale? I've tracked every comic related purchase I've made for the last six years in Excel. But I don't save receipts. I just mark what I bought, date, purchase price, etc and if I sell something, record the date, sale location, sold price, fees and shipping costs. I keep an annual tally with a goal of at least breaking even. I rarely turn a profit. I'll probably be fine with this tax thing, but I buy and sell a lot. Sometimes large purchases, sometimes cash. If I don't have individual receipts for those, I assume my little excel sheet won't matter to an IRS agent without documentation?

The money I earned from selling my duplicate copies of GSX1, ASM 129, Daredevil 1 was used to buy other books that are now worth quadruple what I paid for them. That's how I'm fine with it.

6.5 Club High Five!!

I picked this up for $600 raw last month. Read it a couple of times, then sent it off to CGC. Pressing did wonders for the presentation on this copy!

Just got these back from CGC today. I'm a little bit of a Doom fan

Why spine down?

I picked all of these up in November and January. Only had a few graded so far. The FF #5 came back 6.5 White pages, #6 is 6.0 Ow/W, #10 is 8.5 Ow/W, #18 is 8.5 Ow/W, #45 is 8.0 Ow/W. I beefed up my FF collection!

THANK you so much for your help! I notified CGC and they corrected the description. Whew! My hero!

Great find! Thank you

Yeah I sent them a message through the site. Hopefully they make the adjustment before it's too late...

Does anyone know how to tell the difference between the US and Canadian editions of this book? I had thought the Canadian edition had No. 1 and 10c printed in the yellow beam under the "A" in "Mars" I sent this copy to CGC for grading and they have it tagged as Canadian in the description. What am I missing? Thanks for looking!

That site is pure manufactured garbage. Fake news, if you will.

I was gung-ho about snagging everything until the Vol 3 #1 had two bazillion variants. Now, I only grab the "normal" variants and the retailer ones that look cool enough to spend money on. I wanted to get all of the 800 variants, but stopped when prices started dropping. I'll probably revisit in a year or so and go back and pick up the leftovers. I did manage to get a Ditko B&W 1:1000 variant for cheap and had it come back CGC 9.8, so pretty excited about that one!

Who is Dre and how do we buy from him (or her?)?

Thanks. This was my first chance to buy from his booth at SDCC. Now I know!

Yeah, they had plenty when I went this morning. Got my set!

Some resellers on Ebay are claiming the virgin covers sold out on Preview Night. I certainly @$!$%!ing hope not...
