  1. Got the same email. Here's the link in the email to his site where they've catalogued everything. There's a video from Steve himself. https://spider-steve-collection.com/dashboard
  2. Wonder Woman is not a great example. There have been a number of subpar DC comics movies. They will never equal the MCU. The MCU moves the needle in a way no one else does. WW doesn't match the appeal of a Wolverine and never will. I don't put it past Feige to screw up the x-men rollout however. I don't know maybe he decides to bypass the big screen and limit them to Wandavision??? Perhaps some other dumb idea like having Wolverine in a tank top or who knows what? Maybe bad casting with unrecognizable costumes totally unrelated to the source material. Fox certainly went in that cringe worthy direction. Maybe he does nothing with X and continues releasing Ant man & Wasp type movies or another Avengers? So it's far from a guarantee he doesn't fumble this. These guys tend to have their own ideas on how these characters should be portrayed often straying dramatically from the source material. I wouldn't be surprised if Wolverine ends up looking like Timber Wolf The point is Wolverine's popularity provides more of a buffer than WW or maybe most DC titles. His instant healing powers protect from damage inflicted by knuckleheaded movie execs. That's a good thing!

  5. I just stumbled across this article. Then found the red blue spidey lizard https://www.livescience.com/spiders-hoist-prey-with-pulleys.html ...From Spectacular #40 This from Twitter. I don't know if it's real or not but it's damn cool!
  6. Disney or some super deep pocketed collectors need to step in here. If I had the wealth I'd do whatever I had to ensure he got at the very least FMV for his collection. I couldn't have it in my conscience to have this guy and his family fleeced!!! I hope Bob Iger and Kevin Feige hear about this.
  7. More but not dramatically more for perfect centering. The width of the white area makes a big difference. If its just a thin white spine it wouldn't bother me at all. I would disregard copies with a super wide landing strip down the spine. Not a fan of the 'over-wraps' either where it's the reverse. My OCD couldn't handle much white at all on a black cover like ASM 28 for example. Thankfully there aren't too many mostly black covers like that. In the absence of an acceptable copy I just wait it out. I waited out an ASM 106 that wasn't miswraped and paid well over market. It took years but eventually one came around. That's a case where I paid way over because its such a chronically miswraped issue. But yeah, OCD's are weird. The same centering obsessions happen with sports cards. Just a maddening part of the hobby that's lead me to a few expletive laden outbursts.
  8. I think he's done something similar with other listings. For example he would have a regular bin listing for a jacked up price while simultaneously having a 5 - 7 day auction for the same book at a lower starting bid -- sort of like a teaser auction. So evidently this is within the rules. It just requires a willingness to risk negative feedback on a double sale. His listings last for years. I've been following a few of them since 2017. He is a legit seller though. He has a load of keys and a load of patience to wait for the right buyers.
  9. FF 1 will hit 60 this year. Early bronze books are now 51. Marvel picture frames will hit 50 years old this fall.
  10. He's notorious for hating to sign even his own work. Imagine getting him to sign someone else's!
  11. Thanks for adding. Was it sent priority mail from FL?
  12. Priority? You should fill out a search request form on the website if it was of much value.
  13. Any update? Did you use priority? So I had a pricey slab shipped to me from Kentucky on Jan 20th priority mail. It hasn't been scanned since the 22nd when departing Tennessee distribution center. Tomorrow will be two weeks without a scan. I suspect this thing has fallen into some postal black hole never to come out. I think by the time this gets anywhere the book will have doubled in value and I was lucky as hell to find it at a decent price these days. At this point I'm willing to spend serious coin just to avoid this trainwreck of a postal "service". Anyone else still having delays?
  14. That's really remarkable! I mean what you have now is mostly big chain stores CVS and others. The mom & pop stores have become a relic. I don't recall any small drug stores myself being from the 80's. There was Navarro drug store which was a local chain store in Miami back then. They're mostly gone now far as I know.
  15. A 9.2 copy finally breached over the 10k mark a few days ago. Not bad!
  16. Eh...the Chinese don't have "their own stuff". They just rip off everyone else's. I don't know how much interest there is in China for comic book characters anyway? I think there was some when the venom movie came out but I don't think they were lining up for Black Panther or anything else?
  17. If they were listening to Jerome Powell's words it didn't take too much courage. He basically turned the NYSE into a free money slush fund. If the market was actually a free market it would have failed last spring. Its not allowed to fail for reasons we can't discuss here. Anyhow if it were allowed to fail then imagine how much more capital would have flowed into collectibles!
  18. Oooff..."comic stock index". That gives me the heebie-jeebies. Rather think of it as a comic bond Index.
