What you need to watch out for is large regular swings in the temperature. For example- you keep your books in a safety deposit box in a vault that is kept at 70%. However, the bank shuts down the AC over the weekend so in the summer it can get up to 85 on Sunday before going back to 70 when they open on Monday. In the winter, it might drop as low as 50% on a three day weekend. Those repeated swings will affect rag paper, which is pretty mjuch any comic before the early 1980s. When choosing a bank or vault, you want the climate control to be 24/7 not just during bank hours.

Rich Man, Poor Man was a huge hit a year or two before Roots. I've always considered the 1973 Legion of Super-Heroes series as a limited series, even though it was all reprints.

An ebay search of "JSA authenticated" turned up over 30,000 hits. You originally asked if JSA did more comic creators. Then you changed it to comic books. If you keep moving the goal line, I'm sure you will get across it eventually.

CGC would give the Declaration of Independence a green label because they did not personally witness the signing. JSA would examine the signatures and judge it authentic. One is the recognized leader in signed material, the other grades comic books.

If you'd just lower your expectations enough, you will find CGC capable of meeting them.

That's not what you originally asked.

I imagine they do. CGC doesn't authenticate anything by Kirby, Schomburg ,or almost every GA artist. JSA authenticated my Kirby, Simon ,Lee lithograph. CGC wouldn't.

I can't tell if you are serious or not, but flipping comics or any investment is not part of a ponzi scheme. For one thing, ponzi schemes are illegal.

JSA is the leading company in the business. It is widely accepted by hobbyists and dealers worldwide. It's amazing how many people seem to think CGC is the end all and be all. JSA does in a week what CGC does in a year. It sounds like Kevin Eastman isn't drinking the CGC kool-aid.

1.5, maybe a 1.8.

Just hit the BIN and he won't be using your description any more.

Covers are not all cut exactly alike. There are many slight variations and then some are mis-wrapped. If it is in a slab, it is CGC's opinion it wasn't trimmed.

If you made an offer two days ago, and it is accepted you should follow through on it.

No, it is your ability to perceive them that is evidently growing. Have you been eating more veggies?

Who is it signed by, and why are there two dates?

Have you ever read the first dozen or so issues of Wildcats? I find them vastly superior to the gook that Mar vel and c was putting out, and light years ahead of anything else Image did at the time.

As time goes by, and more pop up, the price will almost certainly decrease.

The thing I noticed was they were saying how rare this was and there were so few on the market but as soon as the deal went bad, it was no problem to replace that box with another one. I was tracking an online auction this weekend and two pokeman binders went for well more than I expected. Is this something worth learning about? I see lots of binders but have never noticed any sealed boxes.

Nice. I got a bunch from a dealer in the midwest who advertised in the old CBG. I knew nothing about them and I guess he didnt either because he didn't mention them in the ad and I never noticed them for several years.

Where did they come from? did you buy them off the newsstands? These are pretty scarce and command nice premiums for the most part. Do you have any Westerns? Welcome to the boards.

Really?

Price it skyhigh. You can always lower the price. I'd start at $4,000 and hope somebody bites. If not, lower it 5% a week until someone buys it. It's unique, or semi-unique at worst.

Reserved for the sets to come

Over the next week I intend to list a bunch of cardsI picked up along the way. Most come from auctions, estate sales and craigs list collections. Any loose cards came in nine pocket plastic sheets and thats where they are right now. Any individual cards will ship well protected. Any regular individual card is one dollar. Mix and match 13 regular cards for $10. Most chase cards are $2 or 6 for $10. All the cards look good to me, as if they were carefully put into sheets, then books and stored. I will note any damage I see. Shipping on these cards is $2, for up to 20 cards. Free if you buy more than 20 loose cars. There will be a few sealed boxes from the early/mid 90s, and near complete sets from the same period. Shipping will be capped at $15 and is USofA only. Paypal preferred but I'm easy. First person to claim a card on this thread gets it. Lot 1 is a rare 1993 Spiderman vs Venom hologram that is the best holo I've ever seen. Marvel Universe Series 4, card H-IV $38.
