I keep my slabbed Avengers away from my raw ones. To me ,it is not a big deal but I know some folks are much more obsessive than me. I'd display a reprint or a photocopy before I started cracking slabs. I'm sure others will post with variant opinions.

So you can actually read the contents? Do people really do that?

There is always Myspace.

It's Dejavoodoo all over again.

You can tell when the person joined by looking at the boxes yo your left. Someplace there is a top posters list.

I've been investing in low grade SA Marvels for about 20 years. Without bragging, I'm pretty sure I have a good feel for the market and put out a lot of fairly low bids that don't pan out, but SA books I paid under $10 for now routinely sell for $30-$50. A few books turned into homeruns but almost all were solid doubles.

You already played that card a couple of hours ago.

Isn't the idea of being here to learn? I'm 48 years in the hobby and still learn things here.

I wasn't a huge Dr. Strange fan and was going to quit the series when he got his own title ut that cover blew me away. Captain Marvel #29 is my candidate for consideration.

Restoration wasn't considered a bad thing until CGC decided to use a different label and a bunch of obsessive comic geeks decided to call it the purple label of doom and over-reacted to it. Try explaining to an outsider why a single dot of touchup on a cover makes the book worth 85% less.

I don't know. Were you around when bugabbo used to create an id only to argue with himself?

The ten cent cover price lasted well over twenty years, but the page count was halved over that period. Most comics were 64 pages in the forties and were down to 32 when the price increased in the early 1960s.

Shill fight would be more accurate. It amazes me, even after all these years, that people don't have the balls to say things under their own names. Do they think coming on as an obvious shill is going to make their point stronger?

Say what?

Sure, you can apply heat so the books structure is affected at the molecule level, and subect the book to ungodly pressure and that isn't restoration, but trim off a microspot of bad paper and the book is ruined for ever.

7.0

Any ideas why DC didn't have much of a B&W line? Their Filipino artists would have rocked in magazine format. I wasn't too big on magazines myself. I found two huge boxes of them at a flea market for almost nothing around 1979 and thats how I got interested in them. My friend had a stack of Skywalds that I'd read but I never bought many new. I greatly preferred color comics to b&w magazines

Did you split a single transaction into two or more boxes? That seems to cause occasional delay and confusion. d

I called DD/Hammer a scumbag. If the shoe fits......

Facts are just opinions that you've fallen in love with!

You poor man. It seems like you are the victim here. Again.

Hope all is well with you. I used to check the site on occasion, but it's been a long time. My interest in MJ and National inserts is pretty low these days.

Start slow and small.

Selling fake autographs is one thing. Trimming books is another. Being a dead beat dad is simply inexcusable.

Is there anyone here who doesnt know this is hammer?
