I watched this last night and loved the imax style and the special effects. Much of the movie reminded me of the Race to Atlantis ride they used to have in Vegas in the beginning of the century. I wasn't familiar with America Chavez or some of the Illuminatti but it was easy to pick up most of the back story. The effects kept me interersted longer than I expected and I really like the first three quarters of the movie, although it inevitably crashed. special effects- A+ plot- C- Overall, a B-

I only care about the price out the door which would include buyers premium,sales tax and shipping. If I paid $1,000 plus 20% premium plus sales tax and shipping, my cost is $1300 and change, not $1,000. Any future sales price has to be based off the $1300plus, not the $1,000 winnning bid.

If what you think is irrelevant, why do you push your view so hard? I'd be in the Superman 4 camp, if it weren't irrelevant. I don't own an Action 23 and only a beater copy of Superman 4, for the record.

Marvel advertisement cards from 1987 and 1988
shadroch replied to JRTownsend's topic in Newbie Comic Collecting Questions
There is a niche market for these things, and I think they are undervalued. Many promo items were one to a shop and weren't saved. Others were given out like chiclets and weren't saved. Who doesn't want an Avengers Priority card? -

Restored but not qualified

I sell slabs of plastic with fancy labels. Now you want me to be responsible for what lays encased within? -

Not if it is getting a Qualified label. It certainly should be notated on the label -
Just in case anyone here needs a comic collecting "system"....

I think Dylans dad must have bought a few of Gary Brodskys books, as this is simply his regurtigtated. Only Gary charged $9.99 for his booklets. -
I don't think it was an industry wide conspiracy but Ali certainly set it up so he could retire as the only three time champion. Why, I never understood. He also was the first man to lose the title twice. I was in New Orleans for the fight, and Leon was out on Boubon Street every night, along with his bigger than life bodyguard, Mister T.

I still have my original MVS's. Someday I need to get a booklet and see what I'm missing. -

Marvel's Giant Size Appreciation Thread
shadroch replied to jaybes's topic in Bronze Age Comic Books
There is no confusion. Some of the Giant sized books were annuals. Look at Giant Size Iron Man #1. It states on the cover it is an annual collection of IMs greatest stories. Some GS books- Spiderman, MOKF, FF, came out quarterly. Some were meant to come out annually and state so on the cover and some others seem to have been intended to be published on a regular basis but weren't. Some contained new material and some didn't.- 274 replies

That's a nice piece that should be worth some money to the right collector. -
Marvel's Giant Size Appreciation Thread
shadroch replied to jaybes's topic in Bronze Age Comic Books
Marvel Tales 1 and 2 are described as annuals, with #2 being a king size special annual or words to that effect. Issues 3 and up are the exact same format. I'd argue the page count is what makes them King Sized, not a banner on cover. I've got about two dozen King Size Marvels. I've always kept them with the Marvel Tales, Marvel Super-Heroes, Fantasy Masterpieces. All 25 cent books. There is one month that all the books are king sized 25 cent, before going back to normal sized twenty cent covers. DC was trying the 52 page format and even thicker books before also going back to the fewer page format- 274 replies

If you are into a book for a dollar or two and can sell it for $30-$50, I'll happily pay the minimum rates. -
Our Recent Experience Selling Comics Through Mycomicshop
shadroch replied to thehumantorch's topic in Comics General
I don't keep track as they are so infrequent. My auction sales are a small minority of my overall sales so most would be either BINs or they accepted my offer. I usually only auction lots, unless I really want to move something after it has sat for months. -

Mine is nowhere near that. If I had to guess, I'd say around three percent, maybe a bit lower. -
I didn't really care for either matchup. While it was kool to see Clark and Lois interacting with the Marvel Universe, the plot sucked. The best part of Supes vs. M.A. was Adams drawing celebrities in the crowd. How many of them are even remembered these days? Like everything DC was putting out in the mid-1970s, it didn't come close to expectations. DC had been teasing a Superman vs. Captain Marvel for years since they started putting out Shazam. They never did do it right. There is a reason late BA DC doesn't sell well. Most of it is garbage.
