  1. Lobo was a folk -rock singer in the 1970s, although I always thought it was a band, not a solo act. He had a few minor hits, like Me and you and a dog named Boo...
  2. You'll get the most for your books after you have established a good reputation. It's a chicken and egg deal. Also you shouldn't assume you will get more here than from other places. Selling a book here exposes it to a couple of hundred people, almost all in the USofA. Sell on ebay and you have intergalatic exposure.
  3. Not without going through a gazillion auctions to find the few examples that have sold. The Kirby Museum has something similar that for some reason I think the guy who donated it valued it at $2100, but I may be mixing up to different stories. More than a dozen CGC witnessed Stan signed books sold for under $200 in the last month. I'd be stunned if the person who asked about this couldn't get more than that. Heck, I'll give him $200 for the letter and the envelope right now. This is a piece of history. A Marvel envelope from before they warranted their own stationary.
  4. Stan's signature on pre-Cadence stationary would be worth much more than something he signed at a show in the 2000s. This piece, even though it is signed by Flo is worth more than a random book signed by him.
  5. Maybe not on your Kyrpton. But on all the Kyrptons in the Omniverse? I suspect there is a Kyrpton somewhere ,over some rainbow, where both exist.
  6. I'm not an expert on these by any means, but I've heard most of these were signed by Flo Steinberg. Even if that is the case ,it is still a very kool piece of history. I'd be very surprised if it didn't bring a few hundred or more at an auction.
  7. I like to apply the greater fool theory when speculating. In this case, i'm not sure that is possible.
  8. Tell that to the suckers, I mean collectors who paid stupid money for Stan Lees file copies.
  9. It is the swings you need to worry about. A normal 70F. that goes down to 50F is just as bad as a 70F that goes up to 90F
  10. So when your bank is closed for a three day weekend like MLK Day in January, they leave the heat on all weekend
  11. Storing paper in a non-climate controlled safety deposit box is less than ideal.
  12. I don't think they are saying they don't want it, just that they won't pay out more than 10K.
  13. I used to lump everything after 1990 into the modern boxes but recently gave the 90s their own age. I don't own a lot of GA stuff, so it's GA/SA including the 15 cent era, BA 20-50 cent, Copper 50-$1.00, 1990s books, and current. Your mileage may differ.
  14. Valuewise, expect to lose 80-90% of the value. You can get a green label that would reflect the grade if the coupon was there, or a blue label reflecting the book is incomplete. You'd be lucky to get $5 for the book if disclosed.
  15. I have a couple of short boxes of Manga magazines that are all in Japanese, usually only with the year in English. They are slick color covers with B&W interiors, and most have some photos in them, usually of young girls. Some are upwards of 1,000 pages and date from the mid-1980s thru about 1994. I'm clueless as to what they are called or what they are worth. Can anyone recommend a website where I can find out a bit on them.
