Subby1938

What a great set of books . I love issues 4-6. Monsters moving forward imo

How do you guys feel about these sigs? I know it’s not a rare book like issue 1 first or second print but I thought it was cool Eastman wasn’t on this lol. No offence to him 

A few of mine …

He’s got 7 goals for us and we are 9-2. Enjoy your brutal season to come . You can watch Oilers in playoffs . For some reason number 1967 or was 1968 keeps popping up. Not sure why? 

There were lots of those guys , he was a notable for his time along with Bob Probert and others 

Well then you could appreciate the best player in the world McDavid and thanks for Hyman! That’s why those Leafs will never win lord Stanley !!!

Anyone know fair market for these 

I also collect golden age Submariner Timelys . My sweet spot is 2-2.5 cgc and I’m excited every time I can add blue label in this range . Price differences are staggering from 3.0-7.5 literally thousands and rarity becomes an issue with certain grades as the higher copies tend to be locked up pushing huge battles on auction sites for anything on bottom tiers . I’m 0/5 in auctions this year been absolutely crushed in all of them lol. 
 

My one big add was the AF15 I’m grateful I focused enough on it to secure one . I tend be one of those collectors that always brushes off statistics and I tell myself I have time I’ll get one lol. The growth exceeds my means of saving for it every time  . I was lucky to stick to the plan this round and my copy will be left to my son who’s now only 4 months old. 
 

I hope it pays off for him !

If you want me to be honest, I didn't really notice this until I started valuing my collection, which started less than a year ago (I think). It was very notable once I had to use price-per-point to evaluate books that hadn't had a sale for a long time. Also, I never gave it much thought, as I can't afford the high grades and I try to stay away from the low grades (0.5, 1.0, 1.5), if at all possible.

I guess it's painfully clear to someone who lives and breaths comics, but, if you asked the average Joe on the street, my guess is that they would think the lowest price per point would be for the lowest grades and the highest price per point would be with the highest grades. That seems to fit the definition of counterintuitive.

counterintuitive: contrary to intuition or to common-sense expectation (but still true).

I agree but with certain books and specifically era books like golden age low grades are not shunned. Mega grails also like AF15 is all I could hope for . I traded for 1.5 that presented well before the big auction of the 9.6 I couldn’t fathom getting a copy now . I simply don’t have enough in trade, money or combination of. 

Great points everyone 

To an obvious millionaire who wanted that as a pure investment . I don’t see many 6.0-9.0 copies flying off the shelves . 
 

They sell no doubt about it I just feel lower grades are more liquid as more buyers are in that pool

Yeah because 99% of collecting world is not buying comics for that price. The only copy I’d want as an investor is a low grade book I can sell fast if I had to. Works both ways . Although high grades are beautiful in hand they can’t be easy to sell fast. 
 

The key is they sell everyday of the week which is why lower grades I prefer .

It’s a good looking copy for the grade . I think collectors know this  low grade train is moving fast and the window of ownership is all but done for most . The prices  keep climbing ….but I suspect more come out of collections to cash out .

Incredible books and even more incredible grades . So jealous

It’s a super htf copy to begin with . The census is low on that book anything 6.0 or higher is extremely scarce

1. The Chinese are buying AF15s, driving the prices up, up, and up.

2. Many times buyers of mid-grad AF15s will go in halfs with their brother.

I’m not sure why you continue to harass me.  I don’t have dial ID I use the same ID on statueforum Subby1938, submariner thread on CBR is also Subby1938. You can check out my art collection on CAF under Miles Bless, I’m also on myslabbedcomics 

that should remove me from your stupid comments for good . 

I’m lost here ? Can someone explain what these dual account accusations are ? 

I have read some of through my omnibus collections of submariner . It’s quite different story telling from the SA and for obvious reasons dated . His Atlas era stuff is even weirder and Marvel it seems just wanted to forget that part of his history all together 

Tales to Astonsih 70 

appears as -script on splash page 

Tales to Astonish 77 it’s first uttered by Vashti then later in issue by Namor

Nothing they could do . I had limited window which passed because in the early days I trusted the seller was legit and believed all the garbage I was fed . It’s my fault for not trusting my instincts.

Yeah it’s misleading to say you didn’t get books now you are . The guy is trash . Under the pressure I created from Instagram and this forum he sent me books as well ….. those guaranteed 9.8 comics I paid for arrived unannounced in 9.6. 
 

Now that’s trash! Not only do they lie and steal , they send the wrong stuff  to say we don’t care . Google search won’t be kind to them and you know what it’s deserving . I saved the emails and it’s justified as they defrauded me out of money for goods and countless others .

I just received an order this morning from Hot Shot Comics. I must say, they were very nicely packaged and they did arrive as 9.8s.

2 copies of   EVE #1 CGC 9.8 preorder. 

I do have two other CGC 9.8 preorders I am waiting on as well and will update the thread.  

Who cares! No offence this seller is a huge fraud and scumbag who has ripped off countless people . You come on here to post your books to what ? Help his rep ? 
 

take a hike pal! 

I didn’t know that info . Very cool to know . Thanks

Not as rare as the Marx figure shown previous by @Subby1938 but here’s a Sub-mariner figure by Brazilian (I believe) company Gulliver;

 

 

I also have this figure , there were variations some solid plastic colours like yours others like the version I have was painted . Very cool and stamped Gulliver on the base . These can also be htf in all colour combos they offered which I don’t know off hand but there were many diff plastic shades offered
