Now that’s a level of understanding and thoughtfulness that had not occurred to me. So you see some evolution in 2 that was a course change? I’ll go back and read both issues now with this in mind. Thanks for this

Last night I read a thread from 2002 discussing why Nicolas cage was getting out of the hobby, and everyone there thought the comic market must be crashing. Then, as now, there was real panic in some of the voices. Well, it never happened then, and it looks like it’s not happening now. i think in 25 years we will all be saying we wish we had a time machine that would take us back to 2020 prices

I think she looks just like mopsy. And she was hot. I’m in the process of trying to learn more about this remarkable designer and artist

13 is a great issue. I love the cover. But Red Ghost and his Super Apes?

Mary Ann v Ginger

That is shocking to me. Also makes me sad.

I think that could be fairly interpreted as a "who the heck knows" answer. Which I think is the correct answer, btw

Gator probably knows, but I’ve always done well contacting CGC directly. And although I’ve never tried it, there’s an “Ask CGC” thread here on the boards: https://www.cgccomics.com/boards/forum/23-ask-cgc/.

Clink just had an 8.5. Nice book. Is that your pickup?

It appears that FF 3, with the new super hero costumes, was the first issue that charted the book’s direction away from just another monster book to an actual super hero book. In fact, it appears as though FF 3 charted the course change, for all of Marvel, away from monsters and back toward super heroes. (Maybe this is what prompted Stan Lee to begin first declaring the book “The Greatest Comic Magazine in the World”?) I admit not being very well informed on the accuracy of this, and I’m hoping someone here would be so kind as to enlighten me. I recognize the people who post here as the real experts. What do you guys think? I follow this book. It has always fascinated me for the reason above; but as I say, im not sure if I’m on track with my thinking, or not. A 9.2 copy sold in the recent Clink auction at what I thought was a pretty good price for the buyer . . .

right?

You say Siamese. I say exciting variant

Do you know when that was, and for how much?

Wow. A unicorn

I’m sure someone has already commented on this somewhere, and since I’m a big Schomburg fan, it pains me to do so. But doesn’t it look like schomburg did a cover swipe here? And maybe “swipe” is too strong a word. But the similarities are there

And I love the “anti-flame fluid”. It would have been too easy to just make it say “water”

IGB has CGC tied up in litigation over (among other things) CGC‘S refusal to grade their books

This book was sitting on the heritage exchange with a BIN price of $110 k until it disappeared a few days ago. I thought $110k was an extremely reasonable price, given what the 2.5 did. I actually looked into it enough to see that Heritage doesn’t force the buyer to pay a fee the way they do at auction. Also, I bought the grader notes. But then it disappeared before I was done with the math. I had predicted $90 k for the 2.5. Very close. I don’t think we are anywhere near understanding the effects of the Covid quarantine on our hobby, and why don’t we throw a little social unrest in there on top for good measure. Predictions. Every one has got one. For this 3.5, I predict $120k.

I never in my life collected crime or romance, but the boards have turned me into a Matt Baker fan. The cops are always noble, the bad guys despicable, and the women are, in a word, hot. Total fantasy and all the more fun for it. This is my first crime book, a pickup from last nights HA weekly

What are the chances !!?? Seriously, thanks Gator

I bought a Bat 1 and a Cap 1 off these boards

This is upsetting.

Attention Clink: GIVE US BACK COVER SCANS!

You absolutely were right. My hat is off to you

I understand mechanically removing color touch and the added pieces. Can the reinforcement and cover cleaning also be reversed? Is this really unrestored as it sits today?
