  1. Marvel Premiere 54...wondering if anyone can explain this.??? Over $500.00.....Wow! Coming of Caleb Hammer....Maybe somebody knows something.... https://www.ebay.com/itm/134247542245?hash=item1f41c6ede5:g:37UAAOSw3kZjLltF&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAoHcyuCsHnANb3s0QZlaaxHrDe07D%2F5WCQyt0FJNzdU4UtwV4yoD%2Bf2ptmZTB5YNtP1GM2opKkkG44fgK%2Bwc0wlRwUfiBumhtqNyF3Am0csDiD%2BtaQ%2BfY%2FfHiSXoi3tgSlgIGGMxF0Wvmo0XONYq084Fpl5DoUsP9u7faJw%2BrnztH1BR4sv%2B42GtUQ4hrNyiShnNOeSPGi4d1vr4c9DpiV2A%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR66y_repYQ
  2. Okay, I'm going to assume it was a serious question, but based on the response so far...I'm not entirely sure. Here's my take. Before they can even think about a Silver Surfer movie, Fantastic Four has to dial in.
  3. More specifically, Scorpion 1...from Atlas. From what I've read, it's his 1st appearance...before moving over to Marvel.
  4. When I looked at what was for sale, I did see a bunch of low to mid-grade books for sale and all were using a stock photo to show the copy. Not the best way to sell a book. When I looked at Completed Auctions and hit the from highest price....what is selling is hi grade and complete runs. So...yes...there is some love. You just need to know where to look.
  5. Okay, here's my take on this. There are probably others out there but, they may not be graded. So, it's pretty much impossible to answer your question and that's probably why no one's responded.
  6. I wanted to go in at 9.4 but only because of the lower right corner, I'm in at 9.2. Basing that on edge wear at the top and upper right side. Lots to like about this copy.
  7. mild stacking crease and upper right corner=9.4 IMO with a chance at a 9.6...Nice Copy
  8. Mike, thanks very much for this. It was a lot of fun and I know I'm getting better every time the forum stages one of these. Great fun way to learn.
  9. Sent mine in yesterday and I can't believe what I graded a couple of these at. I'm thinking anyone that got a (including me) in the immortal words uttered by no other than C3PO... "we're doomed". Then again, maybe Mike's just trying to be nice?
  10. I'm going to stick my neck out at 5.5. Yeah, it's got a tear and a crease on the back cover, but there's lots to like about the front. I've seen a lot of 4.0's and most have a lot more going on on the front cover than this one.
  11. Slight damage to the cover via staples and some edge wear top right an right edge = 8.5. Also, I don't believe this is a Whitman Variant because Marvel has no Whitman Variants in standard sized comics. All Whitmans were actually the 1st direct market editions of that particular comic. (Picked up this information from John McClure's article on Variants in Overstreet's Guide to Grading Comics (Sixth Edition) and apologies for bringing that up in this thread.
  12. I am looking to get a few Silver Age books pressed and some rusty staples removed and replaced on a Tales of Suspense 57...only because I know what will happen to this copy if I don't. I would appreciate some PM's from anyone that is capable...hoping in the Winnipeg area.
  13. I've spent the last year re-bagging my collection and at first really wondered if I should bother re-bagging the cheaper $3.00 books and decided to bag it all because you never know.
  14. Sorry, I read 9.4 and "only issue poly-bag removed" . I had no idea there was a defect on the back cover. I thought they graded it a 9.4 only because the poly bag was removed...based on what I saw in the listing.
  15. I don't know, I just thought a few of you might find this interesting. I was checking out e-bay, and found a perfect 9.8 comic that CGC graded 9.4 only because the poly bag was removed. But, I've never seen a graded comic with the poly bag intact. Is this common? https://www.ebay.com/itm/234494011304?hash=item3698eea7a8%3Ag%3Aw38AAOSw4ARhnJkq&nma=true&si=ZF1JxQjwDDY2Dc2gl3yUB2ILh%2Bk%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
  16. Cover Price recorded a sale for a raw Fantastic Four 70 for $11,700.00. Does anyone know why??? I have what could be a 9.8 and I need to know if I'm rich or not.
  17. Me and a lot of other people know exactly how you feel.
  18. I'm liking this as an 8.0...even with the crease. Hardly noticeable.
