  1. right? Looks more like a 6.0-7.0.. crazy.. That back cover alone looks like an 8.0+ - it's so damn clean!
  2. Looks like the Watcher did me the favour of already checking, and he said it was sold a long time ago. So think this thread is good to officially be closed haha.. again, apologies for the resurrection peeps!
  3. Haha I was prepared for the kickback.. sorry ladies and gents.. haha P.S Thanks Watcher
  4. Did anything ever happen with this book mate? If not, I'm interested. (PS sorry for re-opening a 6yr old thread lol, just trying my luck)
  5. Marvel super-heroes 18 cgc 7.0 - Thanks for the book mate
  6. Would love a future sales list too mate! Some amazing books, and great prices
  7. I''m tossing up on whether or not I should watch it, might ruin the first steps I take when walking in for the first time haha!
  8. Yeh man, Torpedo is first on the list of places to visit! Locked that one in I've only just recently starting collecting GA's - but they're definitely a little harder to get your hands on, as pricing is pretty up there. Would love to get myself a Cap America Comics nazi cover some day. I've been loving the Black Terror books though. They're up there in price, but awesome Shomburg covers. I realised you can't really go wrong with any Schomburg book haha
  9. Thanks man. Yeh I'm not overly into any modern books - mainly because the art just doesn't do anything for me. It's probably shameful to admit this, think out of the 8 or so years I've been collecting comics, I've probably only read about 30 books haha. I think I've got about 1,000+ books in my collection, none later than 1990. I just enjoy flicking through them, admiring the traditional form of inking and artwork pressing back in the day. I'm a graphic designer by trade, so it's the sort of thing that interests me - plus that fact I just love the character designs in general, and the movies of course.
  10. Ha! I might even do that - get my proper tourist comic tour on.. haha. I love a good american pawn shop too, so why not
  11. @aszumilo @ExNihilo thank you gents, perfect start - I’m gonna do a little research, but these few are sounding good! We are lucky to find any stores that sell anything pre-90s back here in AUS, so even with the crazy prices, would still love to see what Torpedo have to offer. We literally have one store that about a 50 minute drive from us, that has some amazing SAs/GAs here in AUS, but the owner keeps most of his collection at his house, so going in store you don’t see overly much. I think he keeps them in some crazy vault and only tends to bring them out for Cons, and yeh they’re priced even more crazy as we cop big duty and shipping fees here from the US, plus he needs to make a little profit. He did sell a ASM 1 CGC 1.8 for 5kaud though, which actually seemed like a pretty good price. Buyer got a steal IMO. But yeh, apart from that; usually looking at 30% more than what most things tend to go for on eBay/Auction. Has anyone visited Vegas Comics? It was one of my google results that came up a few weeks ago when I started researching. Looks like they might have some older books too?
  12. Hey guys, I'll be visiting Vegas at the end of August, flying out from the Gold Coast, Australia - and looking for some hot tips on the best Vegas comic stores to visit. Ideally stores that have mostly older books, from bronze through to golden age. I'd love to possibly pick up a low grade key whilst I'm in the country (Tales of Suspense 39 or Avengers 4, or something of that calibre). Also on the look out for one of those massive IDW Artist Edition books, ideally Jack Kirby or Steve Ditko.. Not sure if they ever did a Schomburg one, but that would be amazing. I'll also be in Honolulu for about a week, not sure if they have much of a comic scene, but if they do have any stand out stores, please let me know! Thanks Fellas / Ladies
  13. Wish that cap was lower grade so I could afford it haha! Awesome book. If you have a half price sale, lemme know
  14. lemme know if you have any lower grade avengers #1s hiding around back there on the prowl!
  15. in saying that though, if you did order it, it still says it's available meaning they have more than one copy, so very high chance it's a fake site
  16. for $37 it's totally worth the risk haha - if somehow it's legit, you'll be able to save a lot more than $37 with the rest of your purchases haha
  17. no more copies of this hiding around by any chance Badger? haha
