What do the staples look like now? Did the buyer provide pictures of the left side?

Yeah I always wondered why 94 commanded more value? Is it because it was the first new x-men logo? VF would be an 8 to 8.5 in CGC terms? Oops never mind it wasn't the first new logo.

Congrats! Doesn't it have a majesty to it when you opened it out of the box? Your only copy or did you own another one? The splash page on this is one of the best ever BTW! Wish i had a poster of it

Mainly the clarity of the mylar. Also the seal but I think there are resealable poly bags as well.

There's always weird stuff going on with this particular book for whatever reason! Spider roaches, terrible signature placing, fishy eBay listings, severe color fading etc...

Yeah I remember in one of my ebay exchanges with him he mentioned not caring about his books going unsold. I guess you can charge FU prices if you just don't give a bleep whether they sell or not.

I've bought one book from him on a (make on offer) long time ago. Paid more than I wanted to even after haggling to death! That was before discovering this site though. He had a book I was dying for in high grade that I couldn't find anywhere else. Had I known about this place I'd of attempted to communicate it to him under the radar. He was very responsive though. I don't think he'll respond unless you make a serious offer. Likely won't buy from him again unless I can get him away from eBay. His prices are absolutely absurd!

Why didn't they draw the little spider on spidey's chest?

I wonder if that peanut butter jar still had moldering peanut butter inside would there be anyone willing to buy it? I'd think someone would be

Frustratingly no clear answer to this. If you want to go strictly by time span then it's ASM 80, Jan '70. If you want to go by a reflection of contemporary social change then it's ASM 96, April '71. In my view it's ASM 80. A time span is best way to determine this otherwise everyone will have a different answer Edit: ASM 96 = May '71

Wow! That's a home run find! I'm pegging it as somewhere between 9.2 & 9.4 judging by the cover. What do you think?

That looks somewhat vintage. When is it from? Where'd you find it? I found this one awhile back on Amazon

I've never seen these before. What's the story?

☝He strikes again!!!

Congratulations. Haven't checked valuation of that book but I'd imagine every version of it will be on the move for the foreseeable future. I think it's a keeper!

Where'd you find it?

I noticed that silver & bronze iron man & hulks to some extent are very low census on all grades. Is this because people just haven't submitted as many of those for grading or marvel didn't print as many?

Sorry if this has already been posted. Incase anyone is interested the H&I (heroes & icons) network is playing the show every weekday at 5 pm eastern. They just ran the second episode other day where Banner wakes up from his nightmare in the research chamber turns into hulk & breaks out. I've seen that probably a million times but i still love watching that part ! Never gets old. Anyways just a heads up on the show. Edit: Comcast definitely carries the channel but I don't know about other providers

I submitted a book for reholdering because the book was moving slightly in the well. I don't even know if they'll notice. If they see that it's moving a little bit would that compel them to regrade? This is assuming the case is undamaged.

I wouldn't call it a trend if one sucker gets duped by it. The vast majority of collectors will ignore it. Besides I got an arguably better looking copy same grade on the c-link exchange for a lower price.

Apparently it had an effect on someone at C-link. I was bidding on a cva certified book (not because it had that seal) but because obviously it was a book I wanted & had great centering. I had a reserve bid that was far & away above market range. Some dude outbid me by 100 freakin dollars at the very last second. Whomever it was went like 3x above market Congrats to them I guess
