Not as much in the way of comics this week, just a cool 3 pack

Excellent! I remember as a kid i used to have so many transformers in 80's including Omega supreme, Optimus prime etc, etc! One Christmas in '86 I believe was like a transformers bonanza! Still can't remember what on earth happened to them all??? Wish I had at least had the presence of mind to realize they'd be of some value in future. Anyways, nice pickups

9.0, 9.2, 8.5, all White pages

Love them! I'm always partial to the goblin issues. I'm waiting on a 122 9.8 white at the moment. Will post along with some more ASM goblin issues.

I bought this TMNT poster with my lunch money when I was 10 and gave it to my brother, he was 4. He kept it in good condition, it is now in my comic closet. 

I like when you can buy the posters that are wrapped in plastic with a board like this suicide squad. Makes a good counter protector. 

I have a 70 years of marvel poster that I'm proud of. 

The last one looks like a collage of refrigerator magnets. Very nice!

Excuse the poor lighting

Almost forgot this one 

In honor of it's 50th birthday I decided to bring it home !

That's it for now

Whole secret wars (1984 version) set. I just got #12 in today.

All except for #10 are 9.8 white. #10 is 9.6 white by another company 2x sig & "Doom" sketched. #4 is 9.8 white from different company.

Continued from my prior post...

These are a few raw ones from my youth in the early 90's. Looking through some old stacks. Never opened any of them. Most of them look perfect. The ASM 333 & silver surfer are just flawless. Back covers are spectacular Spider-man & silver surfer

Does GPA track Amazon sales of graded books? If so could the buyer of a sale report the sale to them? 

Also to avoid creating another thread, does the designation of "cream to off white" pages supersede "off white to white" on graded books?

I recently purchased a CGC graded comic I've been wanting for years, Giant-Size X-Men #1 (7.0). Unfortunately, I received a cracked case after being told there were no cracks present at the time of sale (see included photo). It's housed in one of those thicker older cases from 2009. I'm not sure if I should send it in for a reslab it or leave it as is. What are your thoughts?

It's barely noticeable. Not worth the cost of a re-holder

Curious how "rare" would a Gerry Conway signature be considered? In other words how often does he do signature availability?

Hello forum members,

I am looking to get a Punisher key comic as I got back into the character after watching the Netflix series. I don't have enough for an Amazing Spiderman 129 so I am instead focusing on either Amazing Spiderman 135 (Punisher's full second appearance) or Marvel Preview 2 (origin of the Punisher). Which book do you members think would be the better buy? 

Chris

Whichever came first. Which I think would be MP 2

What grade would you say that ASM 136 is?

How to best display high value comic books

Just picked up the 9.0 on ComicLink for what I think was a good price (but still more than I have spent on just about anything else in my life that wasn't a car)

Will post a picture when it arrives.

It's my first comic book purchase since the 1990s. My plan is to put it on the wall as art. Do folks have suggestions for the best way to do that?

I found these two resources using Google:

http://www.thecollectorsresource.com/

http://www.gweedoscomics.com/cgc-graded-frames/

Any reason to choose one over the other? Or is there something else I'm missing?

(I know some people will say that any display is bad. I should put it in a safety deposit box or something. I won't be doing that. I got it so that it can be wall art. But I want to protect it the best way I can. I will be putting it somewhere that gets light, but no direct natural sunlight and very little natural light at all)

This is what I ordered for my ASM #300

Also ordered a different one for ASM 252 with a black Spidey face symbol on top of the frame

This cover swipe is a more appealing rendition IMO 

Obviously not books. They're coasters but still consider them part of the collection

This belongs to a friend of mine. He is so heart broken over it. He watched Stan Lee sign it and all he could do was scream inside. 

Curious why would anyone place their signature over another signature? Doesn't he see it?

No. I thought that, too, when I hit that landmark.... didn't get squat.

I'm coming up on 20 years next year like some other folks here. I agree that it would be nice of them to extend some sort of gesture like that. 20 years is a long time and I've been very active across the entirety of those two decades. At one point they sent me a summary of my metrics for the entire time I'd been on eBay and I'd sold something like $89,000 worth of stuff (I am not a dealer, just a little guy). It was stunning.

89000! That's insane! You should get more rewards with that much. You've lined their pockets with those fees they charge

I always enjoy the Lone Star letter!  Sometimes Odinson's portion is an interesting read and Buddy just strikes me as a really decent man.  I just fired up an order late last week and God that place is well run.  I do most of my comic buying late at night (LOL) and I think I put the order in around Midnight EST.  At about 10am EST (so 9 central) I got the "we have your order".  No lie - 30 minutes later "order pulled", and 30 minutes after that "order shipped."  They have really got that down to a science and imo shows they understand what they're up against in terms of customer expectations.  We're all so used to Amazon speed we now expect if everywhere.  And Lone Star - for a family run business that's not doing 47 billion a quarter in sales - is pretty impressive in doing their best to be fast and efficient.

This week's letter basically had what we're used to - if I'm not ok to repost please advise and I'll remove - but the line was:

"No one offers more sales than we do and all our sales are real sales and not fake sales. We will never mark all our comics up 30%, then tell you that all our comics are 30% off week after week ad infinitum, breaking that pattern only to go to an occasional 40% off (a 10% discount), or 50% off (a 20% discount). No fake news and no fake discounts here at Lone Star Comics."

I ordered from them earlier this week & got it 2 days later. Very impressive!!

A friend of mine hit his 20th year on eBay a little while ago and said eBay sent him a code for $50 credit on eBay.I have two e accounts with my main account hitting 20 in Feb.I have an account I rarely use but keep active with a bid or two every now then that turned 20 in October but didn't get any emails from eBay. 

 

Do they offer anything for a 10 year anniversary?
