A super tough book and no I did not buy this in 9.8. I purchased this in Mid teens of 2010 era and found it in back issue bin for $5.00. Sent to grading and boom! A super tough book in this grade and one I think will get some major attention moving forward as it’s first appearance of Agent Venom Flash Thompson. 

Great piece!

The pieces missing cant be much I’m thinking it had  some dialogue in panels affecting story missing I’ve never inspected the book but can someone really afford to be super picky with these prices ? I don’t see very many copies I can afford, def there are better out there but I’ve seen way way worse than this ….

I’m looking for some help in getting a value in this copy in today’s market . If anyone can help 

I’d say it is . Wasn’t a 9.6 selling in this range not too long ago? 

So folks you think threads like this don’t work to get the attention of scumbag shop owners …..

Today I received a parcel and on box it shows it’s from “ Hotshotcomics” and inside is a comic cgc 9.6 Amazing Spiderman 55 

So obviously my thread worked to get a response unfortunately this piece of garbage sent a book that was supposed to be a guaranteed cgc 9.8. 
 

You try and save face maybe send the comic people paid for . Seven months of lies and stalling techniques to be caught in a scam and you try and save your image by sending me lower grade . 
 

I stopped caring about the comic I paid for months ago because if you’re willing to throw your reputation away for 60 US you’re a loser anyways . 
 

I believe I’ve made my point crystal clear and this thread will remain active with google search engine I hope other good people don’t get ripped off like I did .

As for the comic I received today I’m giving it a kid who can’t afford buying stuff like this . 

For the record this parcel was mailed on same day I made this post and notified Hotshotcomics that I was doing this . Only because of this thread did this insufficiently_thoughtful_person even make an attempt to try and do the right thing . 
 

It showed he had the book and never once intended on shipping , the intent was clear and when the thread started and others replied to it he sent a lower grade copy I did not order . 
 

fraud 

The gold sig just looks classy over black . Congrats 

As you near the end of your PayPal protection if the books have not shipped open a case get your money back . Many sellers are burning people with these preorder guaranteed 9.8 BS. In my case I paid in November , comic released in December and I still don’t have a comic . There is no way with all the private signing events in between these sellers can guarantee the arrival on time . Not saying they can’t get 9.8 but you’re not covered . 
 

Pay with Visa you get way more time to file your claim rather than paying from your branch 

Sitting on Canadian price variant cgc 9.8 of that . Looking good

yup, there it is...wow! 

thanks for posting the link 

I think that’s why comic Tom posted that high sale . I made an error said eBay it was heritage. Sorry for any confusion. I lose track with so many different auctions I follow 

I had no clue to be honest until way after the fact . It’s my fault I should have gone through all avenues earlier with PayPal I know better when a seller is giving me run round .

Hes taken his listings off eBay now as I’m sure he’s aware of negative publicity . He’s still using same seller name just no items being sold at this time 

I’m in another country ( Canada ) believe me he’s received emails and proof and zero response ever since my protection was lost . He knew exactly what he was doing . In Canada or USA it’s called 

FRAUD

Looking for a black costume Spiderman by Clayton in tonal not full colour ( like a black and white sketch piece ) any help would be amazing 

Thanks and I did reach out but they told me they couldn’t help . I trusted the seller and my gut instinct when time was getting close to lose protection I should have filed . I gave the seller benefit of the doubt stupidly ( although not a large sum of money ) nobody should ever hesitate to start a claim to protect oneself from a seller not providing the service they claim to charge for .

I've been looking around trying to source this sale of 10 large to no avail. Have you got a link? ComicTom is not a reliable source and any information shared by him should be heavily scrutinized...

The highest sale I can see in the real world is $5500 on April 8 but I may not be seeing all the info

cheers

 

I purchased my 9.6 third print issue 1 from collector comics in California . At the time of my purchase there was 9.8 for sale . Reach and ask them I’m sure they can tell you as it sold . I remember a sale on eBay of 9.8 not long ago it may have been them 

This back cover from Batman 1 sold on heritage for 11K . I know earlier this year a copy selling for 55K was missing back cover . I’m this instance I’m sure someone was trying to marry this rare book. 
 

I’m just trying to finish my run and money is becoming an issue with this rare old stuff . I’ll have to make decisions but I’m def not collecting scrap pieces I just wanted to know if buying a rare WW2 comic incomplete but with a cool cover graded was worth it as is?

Let’s keep the attention on this thief

Thanks @Subby1938 I will search this. I was secretly worried Playmates released a Shredder to go with the four turtles and that my complete Playmates collection was not complete at all!

They also made mousers

That room is amazing. Please can you tell me some info on the Shredder statue you have? I have never seen this.

It’s sideshow collectables 

You didn’t  actually think I’d tell where I buy these  . That’s funny

Where are you finding raws at 200.00? My last raw was +600!

All my LCS shops carry them it’s a super common book . I’ve only noticed premiums on newsstands …

This book is still Uber pricey in 9.6-9.8 so slight trends down no biggie when buying copies raw at 200.00 getting 9.6s. I’m happy
