MAY1979

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?

33K seems 2x more than it should be, expect another drop or 2.

during the first years of this century I picked up a bunch of late 70's - mid 80's Archie covers - all by Dan DeCarlo. One of those rare instances where the book's in 9.8 might exceeded the one of a kind original cover art.

From my current sig - note while both comics are newsstands the left book was only issued that way. The right has a more common direct sale doppelganger.

Pages are not White, from what I've seen most here would have no interest in crappy OW/W. To some (not me) WP's take precedence over seemingly all else. Which makes perfect sense in slabbed book where the difference between OW/W and W is highly apparent and at least in a few cases can bump up if the book is sent for a sig then re-graded. @Jordysnordy knows!

Vintage double entendre covers will always have a market!

The Comic Market is wide and varied. Segments and sub-segments of which at any given time can be hot, cold or any variation within. In addition outliers have and will always exist. The same with exceptions. Over are the days when nearly every book regardless of the segment of the hobby is warm or hot. It may happen again of course, but its likley 2-3 decades away. What does surprise me is how many even in this thread write about the Comic Market using blanket statements as if segments do not exist.
