    Badger Kudos

    Thank you Jeff for a great Spidey appearance (DD 77) shipped fast. V/R, Mike
  2. Curious...why do so many of you display expensive or beloved comic books in the light? I've never understood this. I suppose it's OK with expensive and UV protected holders, but it's so easy to print out a nice color copy of a favorite comic. With a printed copy, who cares what happens to it, and you can still enjoy the cover. Shouldn't comics be stored in a dark, cool, relatively dry, and pest free room? Just wondering... I am a collector who really enjoys Amazing Spider-Man issues in high grade, and I have never displayed a copy in the light. I put them in a Mylar with a full back or send them for CGCing. All the best and Merry Christmas! V/R, Mike
  3. What condition do their comics come in? I can't fin any reference to new comicgrades,and I shot for NM raw for new and most variants. V/R, Mike I get my monthly comics from them and they always arrive it great shape. VF, NM, NM+ WHat does "grat shape" mean?

  5. I need a Doc Savage 1!! I will be selling some of these in the future. I will send some to Bob S., amd maybe some here. TBD... V/R, Mike
  6. Daaaaammmmmnnnn! Nice haul! +1 Just wondering if you sourced most of those books in one lot or over a period of time? Very impressive haul. No, I picked these up over 15 years or so. Most were purchased off eBay in ones and twos. The high grade Doc and Champions I got from a minister years ago, through eBay. He had some wonderful, high grade white-paged books. My focus is Amazing Spider-Man, and many of these are "NM" copies from eBay. Some turned our great like the ASM 91 9.8, but you see quite a few 9.0s. I've gotten better buying raw copies, but I normally pick CGC'd ones now. V/R, Mike

  8. I keep coming back to these shelves, they are just awesome. Can't think of a better way to store and display your books at the same time with such little space. Awesome shelves (thumbs u ! Do/can they accommodate CGC books as well? Yes do they accommodate CGC books? Also - are they IKEA? What about the light affecting the comics, even in the CGC cases or bags? Everything I've read is cool, dark place. V/R, Mike
  9. A cool, esoteric Spidey cover! Nice copy indeed. I have a 9.4 which will keep me satisfied. Good luck finding a good home for this one. V/R, Mike
  10. I would think CGC would be responsible when the comic is loosely fit into the inner well allowing it to bang around easily. If they can't secure a comic within the inner well, then there is no way it can be reasonably handled without significant rick of damage. V/R, Mike
  11. Good points re the very high grade comics. One of two damaged comics I have includes a comic that moves pretty easily in the CGC inner sleeve. I would think that's CGC's fault for not securing it correctly. Most CGC comics I own, and I have a couple hundred, are pretty secure in their casing. I would think many of these would press out if not too significant, but I don't want to turn this into a press or not thread... V/R, Mike
  12. Folks, I know this has been discussed before, but what do you do when you get a CGC graded comic that has obvious CGC inner case caused damage to the comic from shifting in the case? Does CGC take some responsibility to re-encapsulate the comic? Do some of you try to get the crease/ding pressed out first? What happens when you buy a comic in high grade that has definitely been damaged to an obvious lower grade? Thank you... V/R, Mike
  13. Another terrific deal with Don! Excellent to dela with. Thank you! V/R, Mike
  14. Just bought and received three high-grade ASM slabs from Don. Probably the best packing I've seen, and some terrific additionas to my collection. He was very professional and polite throughout the process. I hope to buy more great ASMs from him in the future! V/R, Mike
  15. Just graded... I thought the 91 was a 9.2/9.4, and the 100 is about right. I had no idea the Annual 4 would be a 9.8! WOW! I believe it tops the census! I bought it from someone off eBay years ago for a song. Cool...26 9.4s and 16 9.6s. How do you put a value on a comic like this? Nothing sold in 9.6 even in years per GPA!

  16. What kind of comic is this one? I've never seen this cover before. V/R, Mike
  17. Excellent! Hook 'em horns! Oh, are you pressing comics? ;-)
  18. I love this comic! One of the first I ever owned. I finally found an NM copy some time ago. Great issue! V/R, Mike
  19. Cool comic with a Spidey cover...what's the background of this comic? Thanks! V/R, Mike It was a one-shot book put out by ABC and Marvel in 1967 pimping all the ABC morning cartoon shows. A fun book to own. Thanks for the info. Another SPidey cover I'll have to find in NM! So many comics, so little time... ;-) V/R, Mike
