I will have a full run of high grade Creepy 1-145 done by the end of this month. 

The Moore / Totleben run on "Saga of the Swampthing" 

C'mon ... let an old man have some fun. Being 95 and almost blind the daily homecare visit is probably the only thing he is looking forward to by now.

I was in the perfect place at the perfect time to be buying up comics - the late 80s/early 90s (pre-Internet/pre-eBay) and buying up all the key Marvel comics I could get my hands on. I was single, living with my parents, and had almost no expenses while I brought in daily cash working at pizza delivery. Everything I made went to Silver Age comics, and there was a great comic shop in town that made me great deals. I wound up with six long boxes of comics - which doesn't sound like much, but what was in it! An entire run of Thor, going back to JIM #75 or so, with assorted JIMs going back to #13. At one time I had Amazing Fantasy #15,  JIM #83 (VF), The Incredible Hulk #1, #4, #6, #181, X-Men #1, #94-102, Giant-Size #1, Avengers #1 (VF) and #4 (NM), #57, the Silver Surfer run in NM, including double copies of #1-4, FF #4 and #5, #8 (NM), #48-50, IM #55, Strange Tales #101, #110, Tales of Suspense #58-110 (NM), and lesser keys down the line. I also had a Golden Age Captain America and All-Flash comic. I once spent my entire income tax refund ($650) on two comics at a Atlanta Comic Con - a Journey Into Mystery #83 (VF) for $340 and a Hulk #1 (VG) for $290 (one moment - I'm gonna be sick).

(Ok, I'm back). Working pizza, I didn't make a lot of money and was always living on the edge. Instead of just getting an additional job, or finding one that paid more, I got the extremely bad idea that I could fill my pockets with cash if I just liquidated my comic collection! And not to a collector, who would pay me what they were worth, but to a dealer! Right! A dime on the dollar, like a pawn shop. What was my asking price? A grand total of $1,000! Even for back then, it was a horrible financial move. Two months later I had spent all the money, had nothing to show for it, and now had no comics. I figure that if I had kept everything from back then to today, I would probably have close to $100K in comics.

Oh My God! Thats terrible. How could you do that?

I think Fish actually paid 660k for the IH 180 page, but it was a record for an interior panel page no doubt. Cant imagine that being passed any time soon.

Are you referring to Fishbone or Fishler ?

Lou Fine can just swap that $1,000 speculative play on crytocurrency from last year straight across for AF #15 Cgc now.  Looks like the sheep are all lining up to roll the dice on cryptocurrency now. Talked to my buddy yesterday who is traditionally satisfied with a steady GROSS  2% return on his mutual fund money who for some strange reason is looking glassy-eyed at those huge blockchain returns and wants to speculate today for these 'guaranteed' returns next year.

That ship has sailed ...

Not even close.  The entire issue (48) is all about “Galactus is coming!”.  Then, he appears at the end.

As Jaydog correctly stated, Wolverines cameo in 180 was the teaser for 181.  FF48 was centered around Galactus, even if he doesn’t appear until that last page.

The two books have little in common.

Yeah I agree that in FF48 we have a monster book in the makin .... 

and with Disney now in the equation, the scene could be set for the grandest battle Royal ever to hit the MCU.

Kill or be killed is probably my favorite read right now. I can't wait to read it every week. 

Soon there will be Kobk HC right ...?

For some strange reason, #48 is the Big One, even though it's just a cameo for Galactus and the SS. Not sure why that doesn't also apply to Hulk #180 with Wolverine's cameo. But if they do make it to the big screen, and they surely must, all three will skyrocket in value. #48 is still the one to get first while it's affordable. I picked up a 3.0 this past year, along with a 6.0 #49. I'm waiting on a #50 in the mail now. It's just a 3.0, but at least I'll have one (again).

The two cameos in FF48 and Hulk 180 cant really be compared.

I only need 6 issues to complete Marvel (Mystery) Comics #1-66. I had #67-92 but sold them as it's the war time issues that I really like. I did manage to keep the Edgar Church/Mile High copy of #89 though.

What a feat #1-66 ...!

an almost impossible run.

I went to the Houston Cons of the early 1970's and they were great!  We'd drive over from New Orleans with some friends, drop our wives off at the Galleria, and spend the day at the con.  When the day was over, we'd pick up our wives, eat dinner at Ninfa's, and then go to The House of Pie for dessert.  It was such a wonderful weekend that it became an annual event for us

Sounds really nice.

Only read his run on DD and Captain America. I have read both at least five times, I loved them both. I may try some of the books recommended in this thread.

Did the cap run loose steam towards the end?

Are these the guys currently putting out Lazarus?

And x-men #10 first Savage land / Kazar cross over.

I would probably go (in terms of importance to the XMen):

X-Men 1 (1963)

GSXM 1

Hulk 181

X-Men 4 (1963)

X-Men 94

X-Men 14 (1963)

X-Men 101

X-Men 12 (1963)

I think XMen 14 is massively underrrated but I could see the argument for reshuffling XMen 14, 12, and 101  

 

Your forgetting x-men #7 first Cerebro.

X-men # 1-66 (Silver age).

With the Disney/Fox deal this run is likely to explode.
