    You're assuming of course that Kirby should get scripting credit which is at best a very questionable assumption.

    There are many kinds of creativity that have nothing to do with scripting.  Like drawing.

    There is another lengthy thread in this forum where this subject has been beat to death. Could we please avoid bringing into this thread?

    What's new in your Silver Age collection this week

    Fantastic Four Annual #6 CGC 8.0 from Heritage Auctions.

    There is an interesting story behind this purchase that has both good news and bad news. If you check on Ebay, the prices for this book are extravagant, with prices ranging from $1,950 to $549.95 plus tax and shipping.

    Fantastic Four Annual 6 CGC 8.0 in Comic Books & Memorabilia for sale | eBay

    So a few weeks ago, a seller on Ebay offered this book to be for $475, plus $19.95 shipping plus $33.25 in tax. I thought about this for a while, but by the time that I decided to pull the trigger, the book had sold. A week or two later, I saw this book up for auction on Heritage Auctions. The current bid was quite low, so I put a bid in for $310, and low and behold, I won the book. With the buyer's premium and shipping and handling, the cost of the book ended up being $415.04, which is still less than the cheapest book on Ebay. This was the good news.

    The bad news is that I paid more for the FF Annual #6 CGC 4.5 that I purchased several years ago than I paid for this CGC 8.0 copy. Oh, well....

    I picked up these three books from Ebay. They were from Tony Isabella's personal collection. Hawkman #3 graded 7.5, Hawkman #8 graded 8.0, and Hawkman #10 graded 7.5.

    I just need Hawkman #4 in CGC 7.0, and I will have the first 16 appearances (BatB #34 - #36, BatB #42 - #44, and Hawkman #1 - #10) of SA Hawkman, all graded 7.0 or higher.

    This Week in Your Bronze Age Collection!!

    in Bronze Age Comic Books

    Posted · Edited by Math Teacher

    I recently purchased this book from @Professor K: Incredible Hulk #181 CGC 9.0.

    I cannot begin to thank @Professor K enough for this purchase. First, he allowed me to purchase this book using time payments; I would have never been able to afford it otherwise. Second, he meticulously planned for everything, going as far as providing me the name of friend who could complete the deal in case of his death. Third, his communication throughout the whole transaction was superb. Four, he had the book packaged so well that I honestly believe that it would have survived a nuclear explosion.

    Agree with all of the above comments. If somebody is looking for a low or even mid-grade copy of this book - this is the one to snag.

    Also - what were your poor kiddos doing while their substitute teacher was looking up GPA stats?

    I picture you in the classroom like this: :151549297_waiting3:

    You pretty much hit the nail on the head. Unless I am subbing for a math teacher, I'm pretty much just a glorified baby-sitter.

    I am setting my asking price at $1,750. It's cheaper than anywhere that you can purchase online by $350. White pages are considered more valuable than other page colors. I think that this is a very fair price.
