  1. almost nothing has done better than hulk 181 the last several years in all grades but the highest. in your price range it seems like a sure bet. i got my 9.0 three years ago and it's already just about doubled.
  2. this is true. but i think wolvie has shown far more mainstream appeal, as proven by hollywood. he translates well to the silver screen too. this price jump is speculation that surfer will now attain new levels of popularity thanks to james gunn. could happen...but he rides a surfboard. not really the same as claws and killing people. should be interesting.
  3. among other things the photo is taken in shadow with backlight. i agree it looks great but a real scan with proper lighting would likely reveal a heck of a lot that this photo does not.
  4. i'm sure some of you are very familiar with this seller on ebay. always has great key books, often several copies. also always priced really high over GPA and auction prices. i've never had a response to any message ever sent him/her about any book for sale and i've never seen one of their books actually sell. what's the deal? anyone here actually acquire one of his/ her books?
  5. great article, if perhaps a bit long. thanks for sharing that! i totally agree w that assessment too. the birth of punisher and wolverine very clearly spring from this moment in comics. question: did the whole gwen stacy clone storyline undo some of the power and permanence of gwen stacy’s death? did it foretell marvel’s inability to ever let a character really die? (see elektra, phoenix, gwen, etc)
  6. will dealers still be selling on sunday from 2pm on? i dont think i can make it before about that time. i know it says it goes to 5, but just want to see if people are starting to pack up their stuff early like at other shows. thanks.
  7. yeah the white pages are very attractive. 10k is a nice price too. i agree it looks like tape was there but overall it presents great for a 3.0
  8. and i dont know who thinks the kids dont love spiderman anymore. my kid cant get enough. wouldnt even let us wash his face the night he got this. they even make these little golden books for kids about spiderman. they're not that great, but my son loves them.
  9. sold for more than a slightly better looking 3.0 did last november. perhaps because of the cool vintage non-intrusive signature, or perhaps the market is recovering a bit? see pics below
  10. he can figure out on his own if his price is too high. most folks on here who are interested in AF15s know what he paid for it 2 months ago on comiclink too. no need to post stuff like this on someone's sales page.
  11. definitely not a crash, but a good time to load up on copies i would say at this point, compared to last august!
  12. congrats! it was a good price-- tempting for me, but all my extra cash is going to bitcoin these days.
  13. how can you deduce such a thing from such a small size photo? it doesnt even enlarge to the size of a real comic book, much less larger so one could see real details.
  14. this thread has pretty much been the same couple of folks arguing back and forth. it doesnt really encourage thoughtful commentary about the current or prospective future state of the market for this king of silver keys. and yeah, the big drop has been a big disappointment too. but lets keep arguing about chipping.
  15. i think his art looks like dan panosian, who's been at it since the 90s.
  16. looked like all the certificates of authenticity were from PGX. how are they still allowed to keep their doors open? shocking they havent yet been sued out of business.
  17. i agree totally with this, if i had 40k lying around i certainly would have bid on it. it's hard to believe this wont be a 50-60k book within a few years, at most.
  18. in spite of the down market for mid lower grade copies, still a shockingly low price for a nice 5.5. this market has changed in a hurry. and what an enormous spread between 5.5 and 7.5.
  19. i'm making a couple of limited edition prints featuring before and after images of marvel heroes (and villains), and the latest incarnation of harley quinn. all images were painted over antique photos. please click the links below for more info. thanks for looking-- http://www.alexgross.com/store/prints/harley-quinn.html http://www.alexgross.com/store/prints/marvel-heroes.html
  20. not a superhero movie, but 'war for the planet of the apes' was awfully shmaltzy and stupid, after the first two were so good. yet all the reviews were glowing and called it the best of the three. could not disagree more. plus, there's no war.
