MAR1979

Now that's a tough choice. One I cannot make!

Very nice. Mine are each .2 lower, but I paid only .50 for #84 in 1990 Both self-submitted. #85 I purchased as a child at an indoor flea market in 1983 around the time of the TZ Movie. To me having that exact book in 9.6 is priceless. I woudl not trade it for both the issues in 9.8.

Have some circa 1985 Star Trek's that were my late Dads. 2 are still sealed. Would not sell them for anything!

Destroyer Duck 1 9.8; 1500+ early in 2022 now barely within sniffing distance of 350! One yesterday at regular ebay auction fell short of 340 Simpsons 1 Welch 9.8; near 2000 in 2021. Barely scrapped 300 ImJan 2023 at moment seems to have stabilized ~350. Both now probably at Max levels where they should have been organically from 2019-present.

his Invaders is nice for those for those that prefer their heroes too look as if in middle off heroin withdrawal.

Except on outliers a 9.4 on a 1992 book is pointless for ROI. perhaps even 9.6 as well. But yeah the math is fine for X axis but Y needs to be pointed to desirability Beyond me though on how to arrive at that number

Imagine if Ann Margrock had appeared on the cover of Gold Key Flintstones 17 rather than just the interiors

16 months later and earlier today on eBay a nice 9.8w with what looked to be a perfect wrap failed to even garner $340. While still above 2019 levels, as i predicted and have mentioned in past, the whole animation exploration rights nonsense always was and remains a true nothing burger. The Great News is current DD1 FMV is now more inline with the budgets of many more True Groo Collectors/fans rather than mendicant flippers and speculators. Cheese Dip for all!

Ive un-hid mine; https://comics.www.collectors-society.com/WCM/ComicCustomSetView.aspx?s=29685

Hmmm why would anyone collect books from that month

In me experience Hulk Art collectors overpay especially when hes depicted as enraged. Cuuent auctions bear that out. Agreed on Thor.

Its not bad, its just drawn that way

As mentioned by others 1970s Sal Hulk is getting its due especially the early TV show era. The 80s stuff that Sal inked has not caught up yet ROM stuff from same time has jumped. Sal's Hulk looked great with so many of his 1976-1979 inkers I can see why so desirable. Count me as one of the cadre who has squirrled away action pages. At least until they hit the 1500 level. Now i'm content with what I have and sure glad i got them when i did!

Fixed

1970's Sal B Hulk has exploded. It's now approaching John B 1970's Thor level respect. Of course Hulk pages generally are in much higher demand than Thor from the era. Sal 1970's Hulk pages have been drying up for over a decade, uncommon for while to see anything decent. Looks like someone got 3 nice above average 1977-1978 Hulk pages. I do shudder to think now what a Sale Hulk Battle page vs any name brand villain would now command....

Fitting the Rifleman has cream pages.

So this is actually a "make private offer" thread?
