    Their anti seller sentiments have driven a lot of sellers to other avenues.

    Not a comic, just an interesting example of one of the earliest Ebay listings. Just after Ebay went public in Sept 1998, I signed up and won this a few months later (Feb 1999). No paypal, no credit card. If you won, the seller sent an email with their address and money order or cashier check requirements.

    Really wish I was into Golden Age books when I first started on ebay (way back in 98/99), as there clearly were some amazing finds. I was still skeptical of buying comics off there due to conditions (like many of us, I preferred to see it in hand before buying) so I stuck to getting the most absolute beater of books so I knew what I was getting (and often it was the only way to get the books I needed to finish my collection).

    I pulled the trigger on buying my Tales of Suspense #39 from here. It was raw, split & detached covers, falling apart - basically the worst you could find (which is all I could find for my budget...nothing local or at conventions). Cost me $100 USD...and then later grader fees to get it sent to CGC to stop it from falling apart in my collection for longer term storage  Now decades later it is getting a fancy facelift: I have it out now for a full extensive restoration job, seen here after cracking it out of its slab.

    I know. They are addicting! I feel like I have a monkey on my back trying not to buy any. A monkey with a skull head.
    Speaking of monkeys, I'm going to show off my latest which I got here on the board from jbpez. If you don't yet know jbpez, well you need to know him. Real good fella.  Personally I don't think this is a monkey , just a man who has clearly been through a lot lately.

    How many is "rare"?  As far as newsstand comics are concerned, I suspect that there are very few rarities with under 15 copies extent. 
    For example, Suspense 3 was touted as one of the great rarities, but, with prices increases incentivizing an intensive search, CGC shows 43 have been slabbed.  More still probably exist out in the wild or in CBCS slabs.
    If we expand consideration to ashcans, promo's, specialty items, then you will find more rarities.

If anyone knows of a more appropriate thread that this should be on, please move if you know how or ask me and I will figure it out.   Thanks for looking.  Please note error in my description of Pedigree book - it was sold to me by Ed Jaster as a Mile High but I just noticed that when it was graded it was labeled as an Ohio
