Show Your Mystery In Space

I hadn’t seen this thread before. I think the covers of Mystery in Spaces are wonderful, and don’t get enough acclaim -

Fantastic Four Collecting Thread!
GreatCaesarsGhost replied to uclapeterg's topic in Silver Age Comic Books
No one can beat Kirby’s FF portrayal, but he really didn’t hit the ground running on them. His initial portrayals are third image below.. By issue 40 he was hitting on all cylinders . But I actually think I like Ditko’s initial portrayals better. Is it just me? -

Hi Harold. Yes my Bat 1 was the same book that sold yesterday in heritage. When I sold it 2 years ago thru CC it went for crazy money, and I feel bad for yesterday’s consignor. yes I still have my Cap 1. I guess I should have sold it same time as the Bat 1!

Dont disagree, but due to Caps lucky birth into the Timely/Marvel world, he’s got better friends that resonate more with the youngsters. Spider-man, anyone? Heck, even Daredevil and Iron Man too. That alone will maintain some parity for our beleaguered Cap

Mask Comics actual pricing

#2 for sure. What I learned with this most recent #2 sale is that, unlike most books, there appears to be no price fall-off after the pandemic ended. The price just keeps motoring upwards actually, now that I’m thinking about it, same for #1. Unlike almost all the other Promise books, the #1 sold for more the second time around: $102k at initial offering in June of 2021, then $144k a couple years later. these books must be on every want list. Overcoming the Promise curse is no small feat -

anyone with the wherewithal to gather these books ain’t likely to be dumb or unaware of market conditions. I like to think the sale of these big books simply marks the end of someone’s odyssey thru the collecting arc. When the thrill is gone, just let em go, no matter what the music is doing at the time. But then again, of course, I can’t discount the “ominous” part of your query(as the world moves toward electronic images and away from good old fashioned printed media, the effects will blow back on the funny book business, blah blah blah) and as AJD says below, I don’t think we know yet how the market is going to treat these high grade big books. The Action 1 seems to be doing just fine. The 9.2 Cap 1 is still low, but the slugfest is just warming up

the irony here is inescapable. I always thought Bob got into book trouble due to his desperate attempts to fund his daughter’s medical needs, and I admired him for his strong sense of responsibility to family. so it’s only fitting that it’s come to this. im happy to give, same as to jimjum
