Thanks. I don't do modern comics. I'm not familiar with those books but Im not sure how someones first appearence can by in a book printed in November when they were on a cover over the summer.

Is there an example of a character appearing on a cover, but a different, later book is considered their first appearance?

I found a much better movie on Amazon called Black and White in Color. It's a movie about French colonists in Africa during WW1. They get a year old newspaper that informs them they are at war with Germany so they conscript a local tribe to fight the German colonists who until that day they were friendly with. The problem is the Germans hire members of the same tribe to fight for them. So the tribesmen end up killing each other while the Europeans do next to nothing.

About 15 years ago, a boardie wanted to get into the flipping game and bought an inventory off of one of the dealers mentioned here as being a good raw seller. It turned out about half the books were color touched. Seller made it right, but it reinforced the lesson of trust, but verify. Bob Storms is one of the few sellers I trust completely. Nuff Said.

Wasn't planning on paying $30 a box.

Just to be clear, my shops were in NY and Puerto Rico, not the UK. One possibility may have been Marvel having a different deal with Curtis for black and white magazines than for comics.

After two years down here, I finally found a decent mostly BA collection for sale. It's about 2,000 books but fully a third are well read Marvels, DCs in 3.0 or worse shape, or Archies, Charlton and Whitmans in VGish shape. There are few keys- no X-Men, No Hulk 180/181 and there are runs like Marvel Team Up from 65 to 100,except for #95, and Thor from 259-350, but no 337. It's obvious the books were picked over but the seller denies it. He also claims to have bought books off the rack that are older than he is. The books are bagged and boarded but they weren't for years and most are 8.0-8.5 at best. The few SA books are 4.0-6.0 and nothing stands out. The Copper books mostly are Marvels that are part of longer runs, Thor, FF, Spidey.... and seem to have been carefully cared for, but no keys. That they are organized is nice, and they are in newer boxes with lids that won't need replacement, but the owners lack of honesty is bothersome. Does this ever come up when buying collections or books?

Define the community. I suspect the feelings of a few people on the CGC chat boards do not reflect the overall sentiment of the entire comic collecting universe and you won't need them all to buy your book, just one of them, and if two or more are interested and a bidding war develops, who knows where it will stop. Restored books are much tougher to value than universal books. I'd have paid around $100 for the book in question, knowing I could sell it for $150-$200. It is, after all, a Ditko Spiderman and they are no longer making them.

These are not regular Panini cards. They are metallic and quite rigid.

I can’t find much of anything on these. made by Panini.

As was I. I briefly considered buying the comics that came out that month for my spinner rack, but those books changed a lark of a project into an expensive one.

Photo-copies work well.

I don't disagree, but if I found the right green label books, I'd have no problem sending them to the DC.

Where would we see or hear it? I know people who buy green label signed CGC books and send them to the Distinguished Competition. It would surprise no one if people cracked purple labels and tried to pass them thru PGX. I've red some people are reslabbing all their old books with CBCS because they like the slab better or don't want to deal with newton rings.

What I collect rules, what you collect droolz. Get over it.

How much is the Cap lot? I don't see a price.

Why would you disappoint a fan who was willing to shell out big bucks to stand in line and get your signature? We get it. You think signing on covers ruins the books. Obviously many people disagree with you, and calling them dolts and doofs is sad. You are a grown man who collects kiddie books but you think people whose taste is slightly different are some class of sub-humans. Getting Stan and Joe to "scuttle" my Avengers 4 is one of my favorite memories and possessions.

Based on Stan Lee's Marvel Comic Strip Character?

Check out used office supply places. I bought two for $30 each in Vegas. I ended up selling them on CL for $250 for the pair. Used office furniture and fixtures sell for a small fraction of their original prices

I sold both Epic and Savage Sword in my comic shop and got them from my regular comic distributor.

Until the rest of the field catches up with CGC's Newton Ring laden holders, sheeple will continue to flock to CGC.

I'll take the Superman #4

Beats the hell out of searching dollar boxes in my situation. I do have to walk down the driveway to get my weekly check.

Just for the record, I'm 100% serious.
