Head over to the Timely thread and look at all the wonderful books posted there and see how tough a White paged Timely is to find.

Nice one, Marty! That looks like one you should get graded!

Your paragraph contains a germ of a great idea: books sent in for the same day tier require 3 of 5 graders to agree on the grade before assignment. Could also be 2 of 3 or something similar. They used to do this but when TAT slipped CGC modified the number of graders that looked at a book. We should get back to this at least on expensive books.

I agree that it is a generous 9.4 but it is a 9.2 in my opinion (from picture for what that is worth). Still, I disagree. Timely is hot right now. Its crazy and Cap is leading the charge. I feel safe in saying it will hit 1 million.

Nice! I had not thought of that possibility. Makes sense.

I want to form a new sticker authority. It will warn people of over-graded books and books that might technically not be over-graded but still have ridiculous or weird damage. It'll be called "WTF".

Scary to adorable

Barks Ducks in 9.0 and above are climbing back up.

@G.A.tor

If you love reprints and modern comics, which I do, you are right! The hobby is fantastic right now. I was bemoaning the fact that I will probably get priced out of original GA stuff in the next couple of years if this continues. I can buy reprints, of the stuff that is actually reprinted, but it is not the same. I love the smell of the old newsprint and finding a new stamp, date, store, or owner, that i had never seen. I've completed the 2 runs that I wanted to complete so at least there's that but I doubt I'll be able to complete any other Timely run, even restored.:

I know a woman who still collects Beenie Babies. Now's the time to snap'em up if you like those things!

Having lived through the 90s boom and bust I am seeing a lot of the same complaints from "real" collectors. I remember when Amazing fantasy went form $10,000 to $30,000 in VF over the course of about a year (92?). I've been priced out of the Timely market with a few exceptions. Even relatively dead titles like Sub-Mariner Comics and Young Allies are going for prices I can hardly believe. Takes a lot of the fun away when you have to spend more on one book than you would have spent on two the year before. For years I was able to buy high grade Disney books for great prices but that appears over. Oh well, I'll keep my eyes open for bargains and send the money I would've spent to send my duplicates to Sarasota.

I did not get it!

What is this from?

Love it! Congratulations!

25 cents to 52 pages

Andre purchased a Sub-Mariner Comics #12 from me. He paid promptly and let me know that the book had arrived safely. Thanks again!

Exactly. Anyone want to claim the Motion Picture Funnies books were not valid to be slabbed?

Skeleton to skeleton

Well, huh. Learn something new everyday! Found this on CGC's FAQ page. Trimmed books are given an apparent grade and, in accordance with CGC’s policy, are encapsulated with CGC’s Restored label. I guess the current standard is to put trimmed into a restored holder. So, it depends on when the book was graded as to whether it gets a restored or a universal label.

Jet to Ship

Trimmed is not considered restoration and if that is all that has been done to the book it will get a Blue Label. It will always be noted when detected. (Not my book.) Bound does not always mean trimmed. Sometimes the binder makes the cover big enough to cover the book. I have neither seen nor heard anything that makes me think this book is anything less than the Marvel it appears to be. I'd own it if I had the money.

*BUMP* for poor unwanted Jane.

"Versus DiceHead!" Boy did I read that wrong!
