THE SUPERHERO MERCHANDISE CATALOG  $4

80?  And more than double the page count?  That is a full short box of 1 issue of variant covers.  I am surprised that they don't have a book of just the covers.

Looks like they have another nice looking VG up there... asking $115...

Yes, but the staple corrosion stains on the back cover annoy me.

@Spidey 62 Only page 1 was discounted. So please edit or delete your take it accordingly.

To avoid confusion I have removed all notice of a discount and just changed the prices on each lot! 

Understood...edited.

So how long of a sales thread is too long? I am starting to wonder...how many pages will you look through before checking out? My limit is not too many, maybe 4 or so but here I am throwing everything but the kitchen sink on one thread and planning on doing it again soon in the other forum. 

 

The more pages, the more recaps I need.  One every 4 or 5 or 6 pages works well, depending how many books are left on those past pages. 

Decided to pick it up...just went to the site and it's gone.  Story of my life.  

I think this compares favorably to the ASM 50 that graded out at 7.5.

Look pretty nice to me...perhaps there's something going on that isn't visible from the exterior..?  

That's the only thing I can think of, but MCS is generally a straight up, full disclosure seller, I believe.  I think it's a 5.0 or better all day.  I will probably pull the trigger 

I am thinking of buying this as I have been focusing on some 2nd appearances of Silver Age Spidey villains.  1st Apps can get somewhat pricey.  I only have front and back images...thanks.  MCS has it as a 4.0, I think it looks better.  Ebay has a couple of graded 4.0 and those definitely look less than these.

Is there any known protection advantage to storing vertically instead of horizontally? Assume they are stored in mylars, books or both.

Ease of access is the only thing that comes to mind.  I would think that flat is always better for keeping the waves away.

How many submissions does it take to get to the center of  a 9.9 or perfect 10?

Ask Mr Owl! 

Picked up a ASM 194 8.0 white for 164.00 incl shipping, after discount.  I didn't have the book...I think it's a good deal.

Don't forget you can add a note to your counter/reject...that way, regardless of the specifics, they know there's a reasonable human being on the other end...

Sounds like a lot of work to respond to all the low, low ball offers.  is an auto reject better then a reject?

I'd respond to an offer of $250 on a $334 item.  I tend to basically auto reject offers like the $100 on a $250 item.

That's is what I thought.  Maybe we could have met at $275 ish.  Oh well, back to the searching.  At worst, my wife wants me to get flea and tick stuff for the dog......yaaaaay

I use to do that but it always irritated me that a book had five low ball offers and I never knew the book had that much action. 

I think a reject is better then dropping the price on a $250 book by $2 and sending them a $248 counter offer. 

As a buyer.. I prefer a counter to at least know someone is negotiable. 

I just put in an offer on a nice Tom Grummett commission of Robin.  It is listed for $334 obo, I offer $250...he declines.  Apparently my $250 is a lowball, and not worth responding to?

Now I am looking for an ASM slab, but can't find anything that I consider right.

Shelves and such are good for storing vertically.  I have a sheet music stand that I have a portfolio on, opened for display. I have some Star Trek art displayed currently. 

OMG, that Captain America face... 

Sorry, couldn't help it.  Decent grabs, though, if that is your thing.

The hair theory dont work-how did they get thru his boot soles?  And they would have gotten tangled in his gloves and been ripped out painfully when he tried to take his gloves off.

I don't disagree, but it is what they showed.  I don't know exactly how the actual physics could work.  Although I do have a book called "the physics of superheroes".  It may try to explain it in there.
