Back in a bit

Ok, now for a massive Barbie and Barbie Fashion lot, 45 total books, including both #1's. There are a couple doubles, see photos. Shipped in a USPS medium flat rate priority box for $55. Mostly VF with a couple outliers lower and higher. If you need more or different photos just ask.

David Cassidy #10 VG $5

 David Cassidy #7 VG $5

David Cassidy #2. $5 VG

Ok, the one you have been waiting for  ....from the collection of Dolores Kurtz, apparently...David Cassidy #1! VG range, $10.

Signet silver age Batman paperback, 1st printing, VG, black and white GA reprints. Paired with DC Blue Ribbon Digest #69 which would be VF/NM but for the black marker on the cover. Still....Superman vs Geo-Force! Take the pair for $10.

High Camp Superheroes, a black and white silver age paperback reprinting some MLJ heroes stories. VG/F $10.

First up, let's do a shipped lot of htf goodness. Here's six Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles digests; three copies of #1, a #2 and two copies of #3. All seem to be about F/VF 7-ish range. Take the lot for $60 shipped. 

Finally! A thread absolutely nobody in their right mind is asking for!  This stuff is NOT for everyone, but if it's for you....well, there's medicines....seriously, there's some fun oddball stuff coming. Enjoy! 

Shipping is actual, except where a lot is listed with a shipped price. I don't think there's anything here that someone wants to ship across a border, plus this stuff could be defined as an act of war, so U.S. only. (If ya gotta have it, PM and we will try to work out terms).

PM's welcome;  in thread trumps, time stamp rules.

No nefarious listoids.

Payment is money order or check.

Returns accepted; notify within three days of receipt and send back in same condition, on your dime -- unless I missed something.

Coming some time today (barring disaster) -- the sales thread called "I Gotta Be Nuts!"

From Silver to Copper, there will be digests, paperbacks, photo covers, general screwiness. We're talking the kinda stuff where 9 out of 10 say "who the heck wants that?" And the 10th person pulls the trigger instantly. Nothing overly expensive, but some stuff hard to find and all of it fun and wacky. Definitely for niche collectors; come see if yours is represented.

Watch Mixed Threads for it; come hang out with me and the TMNT, Batman, Barbie, the Partridge Family, the MLJ heroes, Archie and others!  (Official emoji of this very special, highly questionable, fully demented, extremely fun sales thread!)

Atom Ant somewhere, yes....no Astro Boy...but Space Ghost yes

OAAW 27 - one of my favorites !

It IS a cool cover...haven't read it yet...the guy I traded with for it needed a few bronze books for a customer, and I wanted to give him what he could sell since he broke down and finally sold me the Cap 12. So I saw this in the corner of the showcase and realized it was about the least common thing in there, so why not pick it?

Back on topic.

AF15 is simply awesome!  Not only do a "boat load" of collectors desire to own this book, I would hazard to guess that many of them would like to own multiple copies (thus adding further to "demand".

Is AF15 common?  I don't know.  Compared to what?  Compared to AC1, heck yeah it is "common".  Compared to many modern books, it would be considered "rare".  Compared to other silver age books made the same month; I have no clue.  It really does not matter.  The real question seems to be "FMV".

FMV is what a willing buyer is willing to pay a willing seller and what a wiling seller is willing to accept from a willing buyer, for the item in question.

With this in mind, I would contend that whether or not AF15 is "common" is not relevant.  What is relevant, is that current supply seems to outweigh current demand at the current price point.  I probably just lost a lot of "likes" with that sentence, but I believe it to be the truth, as seen by perhaps one of the best examples of a "free market"; eBay. 

There are currently 33 complete copies of AF15 on eBay that any willing buyer can purchase.  These  vary in condition and price, however, this is a general breakdown.

3 Copies for $100K or more

3 Copies for $50K - $99,999.99

7 Copies for $25K - $49,999.99

12 Copies for $15K - $24,999.99

8 Copies for $7,900 - $14,999.99

That is 33 complete copies readily available to anyone that wants them. 

There are also 3 coverless copies that can be had for under $5K

If these prices were FMV (in other words where supply meets demand), then the number of available copies would be zero.

In conclusion, AF15 is awesome and highly desirable. but in the free market world of eBay, the supply of AF15(s) clearly outweighs the current demand.

This is NOT to say there are NOT nearly countless people who would like to own a copy of AF15 IF the price were lower, however, at the price being what it is, those people do not seem to REALLY be in the market.

I say this with all respect to AF15, Spider-Man, and collectors everywhere, so please do not stone me.

Why would we stone you? You nailed it. Current supply is outpaced by current demand. If Spidey's popularity tanks, maybe it slides sooner than say Tec 27 if Bats tanks, as demand loss catches up more quickly to the larger supply. I think only AC1 is somewhat immune,to this as, though supes' popularity has wand from its peak, the book is still the prime mover, the starting point. But if we are all going to fret over the fading popularity of Spidey, bats, wolverine, Deadpool etc we may as well all dump everything. (I'm exaggerating a bit for effect, sure.)

Heck, Marvel Comics 1 and All Star were even bigger deals in the past, so it's not impossible. But if I am going to worry about AF15, why am I buying any SA keys these days???

I'm a big fan of date stamps 

That one is awesome 

Thx! Much of this guy's collection is like that. Wherever he bought his books, they made sure to make clear stamps and conscious choices about placement.
