Just wondering if there’s a CGC Dealer scheduled to be at this event?

With the caveat that I am a HUGE Usagi and Stan Sakai fan, there are elements of TMNT that will always make that a more desirable book than Albedo 2. I would even go so far as to say that Albedo 2 is in demand because of TMNT.

Definitely falls into the argumentum ad populum category.  While Sakai has stayed consistent and true to his work, TMNT has soared into mindless drivel, for the masses.

I keep forgetting to start an inquiry about this one.

Published by Active Images in August, 1998.  Possible 1st appearance of Elephantmen (Hip Flask).

Batman 1 is not an appropriate comparison book. It's the first appearance of two of the most famous villains in comics. ASM 1 is the first appearance of....The Chameleon. 

One would be a top key regardless of whether or not there was a #1 on the cover, the other would be a footnote. 

Don't forget Jameson 

It's a settle key, with AF15 being so pricey.

Just completed a big trade with Isaac over the weekend.  Super nice guy!  

Fresh from CGC.  Wish they could do something about the Newton rings 

Best thing I ever did was unload my TWD1s, just before Glenn was killed on the show!

people would grade this trade (advance copy print run of 1500) because it came out before any of the comics did so it would be the true first issue, printing, character appearances, etc. if this title became relevant.

 

 

Do you think CGC will note first appearances on the advance TPB?  Curious how they'll treat this one.  Is the 1500 print run, confirmed?

Any news on #10, fellas?

Found my second copy at a small con, last Saturday!  The HOS92 is really rough, and was a throw-in.

Completed a big trade with Adam.  Great communication, throughout.  My biggest trade, ever, so I probably seemed nervous.  Adam kept me in the loop, whenever he could.

Did a trade with Donald, and everything went smoothly.  Great communication and fast shipping.  Would not hesitate to do business with him, again.

Wolverine is the most iconic Marvel character, since Spider-Man, not to mention, being more complex and multi-dimensional.  If Wolverine's first appearnace had occurred at the same time as AF15, it would be the more expensive of the two.  The combination of Storm's, Nightcrawler's, Colossus', and Thunderbird's first appearance, just pales in comparison.

If you're looking for investment keys, definitely stay away from DD 1

Why not DD1?

Congrats to the new owner of the Invincibles!  You have exquisite taste!

One more day 

I completely agree with Alf.  Find a high grade GSX1, unless you’re a major FF fan.  The FF are sorely outdated.  Same with the original X-Men, Disney’s gonna go new school with the reboot.

Yessir, Angelo !  I think I saw my ol' X-Men 1 CGC 2.0 that I traded during a tradefest floating around here too, did you post it in the Buy/Sell section?  : )

That's awesome!  Yeah...I had it up for bit...then traded it, locally.

A very different copy... but mine all the same.  Traded a couple Uncanny X-Men 266 slabs for this baby (including a MJ variant), would do it again all day any day.

 

Looks exactly like my old copy!  Did you get this from one of the Trade Fest guys?

It's being driven by the lower grade prices and trickling up.  Collectors jumping in late, continue to stretch for accessible copies.

Just completed a trade with Dinesh.  Very pleasant to work with.  Would not hesitate to deal with him, again.
