Hey all…

Still preparing to sell off the collection. Just took advantage of CGC’s $99 special, so I’ll be sending off three books for grading. Pretty sure it will be XM94 and SS4, but am on the fence about the 3rd. Leaning towards ST101 or maybe JIM89. Opinions?

Thanks!

You need to take much better and clearer pictures (out of the bags) before anyone can give you an accurate assessment

Super heroes weren't completely dead! 

You may be asking yourself... where's John Buscema? Didn't he work for 50's Atlas? Well he'd left after the first Stan debacle (over inventory), but still did an occasional freelance for them. And then there's this from Charlton...

ON NEWSSTANDS JANUARY 1956

Nature Boy #3 - Cover by John Buscema

Story by (Superman co-creator) Jerry Siegel with interior art by John Buscema

(Previously had been Danny Blaze... it'd last 3 issues and become Li'l Rascal Twins)

Ric Flair approved. Wooooo!

Great thread! Thanks for posting this

Just found this info at MCS for Dead of Night # 9.......Cover inks by John Romita. The Empty Bus!, art by Syd Shores. Wonder why CGC didn't put it on the slab??

 

Over their history, CGC has been inconsistent about putting those credits on the slab label.

Luis Dominguez is one of my favorite illustrators. His DC covers are the best.    

I agree. Underrated stuff. Love me some ......

I wanted to know if they are collectable and/or worth getting graded.

If you're interested in throwing your money away, then sure get these slabbed.

The 80's Film one-shots and mini-series' are Copper Age for most part IMHO.  Not much to discuss as they served their purpose which was to adapt the film and that was that. As mentioned in an above post Indiana Jones Character had a 3 year monthly run but it's Copper not Bronze.

Cronze actually

Going by longevity, the only other Marvel success that I can recall would be their Indiana Jones series. But even that only lasted three years and was labeled as the Further Adventure of.... so maybe not a true movie adaption series. More of a property adaption series

Marvel did several movie adaptations in the early 80s but as one shots or 2 or 4 issue minis series

Dragonslayer
Blade Runner
Time Bandits
Dune
For Your Eyes Only
Labyrinth

And many others

51,52, and 76 are members of the Hillybilly Bears

Given the crap show that is CGC quality control right now, I'd be happy with the 9.6

Thanks you for noticing! I was beginning to think no one was paying attention.

It is pretty horrifying

Did they get rid of their phone number?

I think what they got rid of is whatever goodwill and customer confidence they once had. Sad to see it come to this

agree, the character in question needs a subjective non-trivial amount of substance in the story, being on the cover is not a requisite (but is a bonus), which is why IMO IH181 is first wolverine.

No it isn't. Hulk 180 is first Wolverine. 180 came before 181. It's illogical to call Hulk 181 first when 180 was released before 181. It's factually false.

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who remembers that duo! Another older duo is lurking at 26 and 32: Touche’ Turtle and Dum Dum. 

We got most of them over here. No love for the Banana Splits yet though, I see? 

I knew who they are as a group but I can't tell you their individual names. I couldn't stand that show.

What is the comic?  Was it published before or after 1975?  Do you have an estimated idea of the grade(it’s condition, thus giving an idea of the fmv.)?

The comics maybe a 7? Not sure. https://www.ebay.com/itm/255567050203 You can be the judge  It says 1986 so I'm assuming that's when it was released. And yea, things like that is what I need to know. Release date and grade effecting fees of grading? This complex mess hurts my head. I'm stupid in general but I also take meds for my epilepsy and they slow me down I swear  

Uh, it's your money and all that but are you really considering slabbing a 7.0 (ish) copy of Power Pack 27? 

7 is Blabber (Mouse) of Snooper and Blabber. Snooper is the cat at 23

What company do you use?
