The rules: 1. First claim takes it 2. Offers always welcome! 3. PayPal for payment 4. Shipping will be $15 as it will be tracked and coming from Canada so please keep that in mind. If it’s a couple bucks cheaper I will refund ya. 5. Returns accepted within 7 days of the books arriving to you. 6. References available if needed. I am also happy to send more pictures. Any claims will have a choice between three freebies to choose from. They will be pictured last. Thanks all!

Need advice for negotiating price
comicginger1789 replied to migmtl76's topic in Newbie Comic Collecting Questions
Yeah the “make me an offer I can’t refuse” is either someone joking or being a bit of a d bag. Either way they don’t sound like serious sellers and the negotiating seems likely to fail. I’d still ask a tad under fair market value to start. If he declines then up it to fair market. After that it’s in his court whether he excepts or starts the gouge game. -
PGM X-men #1 1963
comicginger1789 replied to serling1978's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
Honestly I saw on my phone and thought 3.0-3.5 However closer inspection on a better screen brings me more with what others are saying. It’s definitely better than 1.8 and I think nicer than a lot of 2.0 books so for me it’s 2.5 -
Date Stamp (and Store Stamp) Love

Anyone ever see a Feb 29 stamp? I’ve seen Feb 28.... -
Do/Can you clean/press sub mid-grade books?
comicginger1789 replied to jmt999's topic in Newbie Comic Collecting Questions
This is 100% correct. Knowing what can and cannot be pressed is the key. -
All New Comics #8 vs Terrific #5
comicginger1789 replied to gino2paulus2's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
I'd go with Terrific #5 for the following reasons (based on cover): 1. Better visual appeal. Your eyes are drawn to the damsel in distress, then the torture wheel and finally, the background and all that is happening. With the All New Comics #8, your eyes are drawn to the hero first and then it takes some time to dig through the background and other images, which are very busy. It is still great but not as great for me personally. The foreground, midground and background on Terrific Comics #8 is just perfect to me, whereas All New #8 is a lot and quite messy. 2. Colours. Red and yellow work so well together. It has a dark and mysterious aura to it. With All New Comics #8, the white and multitude of bright colours gives the sense that good fun things should be happening but the opposite is true. It just doesn't work for me artistically as strongly. -
Have Pulps become the next “big thing”?
comicginger1789 replied to Robot Man's topic in Pulp Magazines
I mean would I pay $10-20 for a pulp with a cool cover? Sure. But that would be the high end for me. I can never see myself spending more because I’d rather spend that on comics. We might see certain covers that are horror or headlights or sci fi related go up a but but I can’t see it becoming a booming market. Does anyone have a VF copy of a pulp from the 30s or 40s? Every copy I’ve ever seen is 2.0-5.0 at best. Then again I don’t see many cuz they aren’t really on the radar. -
PGM Marvel Spotlight #5
comicginger1789 replied to Talem84's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
Yeah 3.5-4.0 on first glance here too. Hard to say...it could hit 4.5 but I think anything higher is outta the questions based on what I see. -
Yeah I am also 3.0 and perhaps an expert presser could make the spine a little more centered but those corner creases are there to stay.
-
I agree with the masses, 8.0

Minor mark on Venom 3
comicginger1789 replied to Darth_Vader's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
Pretty deep cut...if it does not go all the way through, I would think 8.0 would be where I would feel safe. Tough one though, would be interesting to see what CGC knocks that down to. -
7.0 maybe 7.5 when pressed. Great book!

Let's talk about out-of-touch pricing and forum ettiquette.
comicginger1789 replied to Poekaymon's topic in Comics General
This site is better than most. Facebook is absolutely brutal and eBay is always a wide array. I find prices here fair to good. The odd overpriced or same as eBay price but those I personally ignore. If I can buy it now on eBay for $49.99, I am not paying someone here the same. But if you offer it for $35-40 or better, I am game! -
$10-20 raw depending on condition. Any more and ya paying too much, any less and you getting a decent deal provided the book is high grade.

PGM Marvel Super Action 1
comicginger1789 replied to comicginger1789's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
That harsh on that corner eh. I guess I’m too lenient on these mags lol. -
PGM Amazing Adventures #4
comicginger1789 replied to Jim Baird's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
It’s a newer book meaning CGC will be harsher. 8.0 from me and that is mostly because of the marker on the cover. The date/store stamp is actually something I wish every book I bought had to help tell it’s story:) -
PGM Rampaging Hulk 4
comicginger1789 replied to THE_BEYONDER's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
I have a couple magazine sized books with the same flaw. Great sharp covers and corners and spines but the dust/sun shadow. Personally I put them 8.5-9.0 if that is the only real flaw. -
Lotta little edge things has me closer to 8.0-8.5
