MAY1979

Agreed and not only they, but MCS also most certainly knows better! CGC 's new policy is not to fix THEIR mistakes, but I've faith MCS once they are made aware will correct their listing. thusly paging; @mycomicshop https://www.ebay.com/itm/134670407703

@valiantman any thoughts? https://www.ebay.com/itm/134670407703

buh buh buh what will that leave for Matt Tuck like moe ron's to orate

No issues for me at moment

Hey, perhaps post this in Copper sub-forum or General sub-forum. BTW were you in Plainedge?

Somewhere in the 9.2-9.6 range, however if that is a pen mark no more than a 7.5. If not a pen mark, given it's a newsstand I would certainly consider sending it for grading. Please note; Scanner pics hide defects which more times than not lead to over estimations.

9.0 to 9.4 range, Green Label. CGC is very tough on back cover of this book. Scanner pics hide defects which more times than not lead to over estimations.

Tell you though I do wish Mid 60's DC Silver-early Bronze (1965-1972) stuff becomes more popular as I'd be positioned rather well of course I've been wanting/wishing that since the late 1990's :0 However at best logically I do realize its merely a Lucy with Football scenario, outliers not withstanding.

Wow, the 39 went for nearly more coin than all the 9.8 60's Spectre's combined at CL this past week and that title is rather rare in hi-grade High Grade Early 70's and older non-key DC's of course are not easy to find, never were. Lack of demand has always suppressed DC prices and I do not see that changing. My guess is 2 registry collectors went all out at 39.

grab a 7.5 4 now or future you will regret it.

Anyone who would have foolished complained about a Summer 1985 book not being Copper would have been totally wrong. I've never seen any one here question the copperness of any post 1982 books. While there is no clear delineation a mid 1985 independant with Dave Stevens cover is the pretty much the very definition of Copper. Good Folks, what do you think??

Nitpick; A Mid1985 Independant is 100% Copper as is the entire Crossfire series

I'm a fan of Byrne's pre 1988 work, and super fan of 1977-1980 so consider being banned an honor as it's forum for the highest echelon of sycophant losers. As for me, was banned from a somewhat well known in certain circles, Mastering Engineer's music forum, for mentioning i did not see what the big deal was about "The Monkees". When I was in 4th grade both myself and a buddy also my age were banned from the local Friendly chain restaurant. I've no remembrance of exactly why but I suspect we were making "Big Beef" jokes. My buddy told his connected Dad, who told us he would take care of it "his way". 2 days later went back no issues. Man I've probably not thought about that in the last 25 years.

IMHO anything less than 9.8w on those will be a huge hurdle due to near zero interest with bulk being glut non-keys. Except on the Conan's but unless they are high grade (9.4+ 68-79, 9.6+ 80 and up) it too will be a struggle Overall it will be days of effort + hassle and you'll be extremely lucky to net $60 in a slow grind with under $50 being far more probable. From Spring 2020 - early 2022 it might have been 3x that, but those days are gone. IMHO if you can still find one that has any interest in comics give them all to a child who will enjoy them and your payment be a priceless sense of smug self-satisfaction. Apologies for my bluntness in this post, but I don't believe in causing people to waste their time, which is finite.

Yeah but if all one wins is a single $35 dollar book, I believe Doug still charges $40-50 in shipping. So not such a deal in those cases.

With few exceptions always easier to purchase collectibles than sell them If that is the case, based on you mentioning it's 25-30 books, there are easier ways to net $12-$15 dollars.

Likely a bi-product of what is being offered for sale "Junk" drops first, falls furthest and takes huge shifts (aka insanity) in market for it to slowly rise again. With trading cards that corresponds to "Junk Wax" with Comics the closest ballpark analog is "Glut era".

Sadly wrong perceptions permeate the hobby thus ASM252 Newsstand especially in 9.8 command higher coin than the Direct which may possibly be the slightly more "rare" edition including in 9.8. "It's a newsstand baby", in the case of ASM252 (and Thor 337, ASM361) is total frickin' joke.

The area was once the ROIO (bootleg) capital of North America. Internet pretty much ended selling them brick and mortar same as official product. Used to take 2 hour train rides there in Jr High and High school days, pick up Zepp or Sabbath or Maiden live CD's then gorge on 3 bucks of 50 cent dogs at Gray's. Just as well, the sodium and fat in just one of those franks would likley kill me now

As for me I'll stick to the simple pleasures of sniffin' glue

Yes congrats! cgcdata is a huge service to the hobby and to me personally - Thanks! The cachet of the recognition should permit you to proceed unabated in your Ultimate Plan

Purchasing collectibles is nearly always easier than selling them

par for course with them. if it had been stolen you would have been SOL. make note of who now owns 6.6% of Fedex: https://fintel.io/so/us/fdx/blackrock BlackRock Inc. ownership in FDX / Fedex Corp 2023-02-07 - BlackRock Inc. has filed an SC 13G/A form with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) disclosing ownership of 16,691,254 shares of Fedex Corp (US:FDX). This represents 6.6 percent ownership of the company. In their previous filing dated 2022-03-11 , BlackRock Inc. had reported owning 16,526,633 shares, indicating an increase of 1.00 percent. BlackRock Inc. has a history of taking positions in derivatives of the underlying security (FDX) in the form of stock options. The firm currently holds call options representing 0 of underlying shares valued at $0 USD and put options representing 210,500 of underlying shares valued at $48,097,145 USD .

IMHO would about same on comiclink but with 50% lower fees for seller. Thus potential higher net.
