Ride the Tiger

I suck at finding comic deals. I'm good at searching though.

You get tired of looking for 1/2 way decent deals after a while. I have purchased a few books on Comic Connect and they have all been over graded. Ebay has much more to offer but it takes forever to search for something. I need a break. Time to submit books and play the waiting game.

We're doomed.

I looked thru the sale section for 4 hours straight and ended up with diddly squat too. Would have been better off relaxing.

To be safe my offers were really low. Even if accepted today i'd be making out like a bandit. I hate putting in low ball offers but I had to play it safe.

Welcome. Investment grade is most definately relative to the book in question IMO. A modern book that just came out and is hot receives a 9.2 by the grading company. Most people are looking for the 9.8 on a new book and wouldn't even think twice about any grade less. Now put that 9.2 on a Fantastic Four #48 and you will have swarms of potential buyers checking it out. I'll bet that the 1st appearance of Superman or Batman would interest everyone on this board in ANY grade.

Nevuh feeaarrrr. Smith is here. Well not really but I always wanted to use that line. Plus i'm a little late to the party.

For sure this book gets graded somewhere in the NM range. All I see thats going to keep it down is that upper right corner. There also appears to be something going on around the top staple of the back cover. It has to be an easy 9.2 with 9.4 being the more sane choice.

I scrambled all night looking for a decent BIN deal but as mentioned they are all over priced to begin with. Put in 2 offers but they didn't accept or counter. How often do they do this?

Attemping a snipe but not very confident. Seller is very well known.

Aw man I put an offer in just hope it gets a reply soon. I had to go extra low in case its accepted afterwards.

Does it end at 8 Eastern... Central...???

We really need the back cover too but from what we have probably 7.0

I'm also at 5.5

Working for me.

All they wanted was a Pepsi. And we wouldn't give it to them. Just a Pepsi. I hung around with the Punks of the mid 80s. But I liked Maiden, Priest ect.. a little more. Black Flag Damaged was played so many times at our parties my brain will never be able to erase it. .......Bass guitar.... TV Party tonight. TV party tonight......

I had it on LP but it saw 1 too many 80s parties. I need to pick it up again on CD.

I'd say the seller was pretty close. My initial thought was 4.0 but maybe there's a bit too much wear on the spine. I don't see any marvel chipping. It looks like the top of the comic may have wrapped a bit higher then the inner pages and caused many folds and tears over time.

That is a nice copy. I don't really see any issues other than some spine wear and the color breaks up top and the upper front corner. Nice White pages. 8.0

I wasn't a fan of TS either. I think Dee Snyder swore more than he sang. I'll never forget The Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner. Seemed like the song went on forever.

Remember Hulk 271. People were stepping over their own grandmother just to snag a copy. As mentioned. What goes up... goes down. Except most GA SA and BA keys.

I saw Iron Maiden in concert during their Powerslave Tour. Twisted Sister was the opener. I lost a good amount of hearing from that concert.
