If you folks are budgeting tens of thousands of discretionary income in order to buy comics, you are going about the whole budget thing wrong.

Been to Governors Island?

Buy sheep, sell deer.

Some can multitask.

Aren't there regional editions of at least some of them?

Why?

As Bomber said, this miswrap will effect the resale value. It's a nice book but pricewise isn't an upgrade from your 6.0

Welcome. I collect vintage books so can't offer much advice on new ones. This board is a tremendous community , so relax and read some threads while waiting for someone to get back to you.

Without trying to patronize you, you really shouldn't be submitting books until you research and understand the process. Most books are not slab worthy just because of the title. Condition, especially in modern books is everything. Certainly not every X-Men 266 is worth grading, in my opinion.

It wasn't a cost cutting effort. It was an attempt to gain space on newsstands. In 1940, a comic was ten cents, as was Time, Life and almost every other circular. By 1972, most magazines were several times more expensive than a comic and produced more income and profit per unit. With limited space, do you display a book that sells for a dollar or one that's 20 cents. DC tried to make their books more valuable to sellers. Marvel announced a line of 100 page books, to go with their short lived 48page for .35 cent books, but instead went with the Giant Size (68 page) books. It was twenty years before Marvel printed hundred page books.

First time wandering into this thread and I'm shocked by the results. I expected GL 76 by a landslide.

Copyright on the inside cover shows it's a 1970s reprint. These reprints are over sized and in this condition are virtually worthless.

Sadly, the tear kills an otherwise decent book.

What he said. I use an envelope before selling a book. Otherwise, I leave it be.

A dealer will pay sometimes pay cash, an online sale will go thru PayPal. Taxes depend on your jurisdiction.

I was about to take down a 1997 calender but I guess it's premature.

1.8, with a key book chance of hitting 2.0

Looking forward to the Prequel. The Reindeer Games.

There are many ,many ways of preserving your books that don't involve sending them on perilous journeys via the post office and being separated from them for months.

A run of 3 or 4 would cost close to $100, so the value would have to be much higher, no?

My will states that the Hero Initiative gets all my comic related items. I spoke to Steve B about it years ago.

I didn't realize Outsiders was canceled. It was an interesting show.

Not an ebay sale but I had a well known forumite send me an empty box in lieu of an Avengers 4. The situation worked itself out. Another time, I was expecting four books from another member. Received two. Called and left a message with his wife. Turned out he had enclosed a check for the two missing books.

Comic grading is no different than most things. If you want to succeed, you need to practice. Then practice some more, and finally practice even more. I find it helps to grade as if you are buying the book, not selling it.

In ten years, Luke's grandchildren will time travel back to the post Return of the Jedi era and save the Universe, destroying the alternative universe we have been forced to endure.
