Some more date stamp love!

The top and bottom of spine seem slightly worn or frayed. I mean, I have seen the occasional 9.8 get by if it is the bottom. In my mind, I would be anticipating 9.4-9.6 on this as is.

Sharp, 9.4 seems a safeg bet and I would not be surprised at all if it graded better.

The images you are finding blow me away. If anyone does a book on Ross Andru, I nominate you and expect all this great stuff in that book!

Back seems to half that sun shade or dust shade or whatever causing some discolouration. I put it at 8.0-8.5 at best.

Solid 5.0-5.5 copy.

4.0 from me with an outside shot at 4.5 but I doubt it mainly because of paper and page quality.

I am also in this boat for the same reasoning.

I am also around 3.0-3.5

Okay apologies, so you are doing the right things! The junk comics have to go then. No shame there. But these new ones you are saying you will have, I would hang on to and not just trash. Plus, if and when ya can, recycle! Obviously moldy nasty stuff hits the landfill but the rest can be reused.

You throw away comics!?!?!?! Why? Why not donate them somewhere? You say you dumpster 20 000 comics a year? Why not host a day where you give stuff away (or maybe you do/did before this craziness)? Gets people to the store. I get throwing or tossing comics that are beat beyond collectibility...I recycle stuff. Not sure why you would huck em in a dumpster to be landfill destined when the least you can do is recycle.

Also, a note on this StockDoc character... All these weird items are seen as having been "sold" in his feedback at some point. So he has shill buyers or someone "buying" them and leaving positive feedback. Plus for a guy who has been around sine 2001, only 1000 or so feedbacks tells me they don't sell much.

Yeah I am of the variety that has not desire to look further into what the person has. My desire is to message them that they are stupid, but that is just as stupid, so I laugh and carry on. You want to window dress properly? Show cool books marked up slightly and then have other great stuff that is the right combo of price and desire. I respect the hell out of people who have fair prices on most of their stuff. Of course your wall books or books you want people to see might be inflated by a bit. But if it is double or triply value or some adsurd price on an oddity (which is what this book is), I have no interest in you or what you are selling.

Couple spine ticks, minute corner creases. 9.0 ish seems right.

Solid 1.8-2.0 book right there. The chunks missing kill it from being 2.5-3.5. I don't think a press would help for what it is worth.

That is DEFINITELY not NM- at all. Agreed 100% with a 6.0-6.5. A press might get ya a 7.0

Yeah I think 8.0 is the best one can hope for. 7.5-8.0 is my range on it. Lots of minor accumulated flaws.

Honestly, who wants that book? Is it nice to have Stan's signature? Sure. But you can pay way less for it one time on a much cooler book, which is what I feel 99.9% of people would do. I guess the seller is appealing to the 0.01% out there that a) could afford it and b) can afford to be ridiculed for having spent such a silly amount on a useless book.

^Someone could but it would go down as restored, which is a worse thing to have and devalues the book. It sucks that it is loose. As is, 3.0-3.5 at best. Having restoration done to reattach it would maybe...MAYBE ensure a 3.5 grade but you would be spending a ton to have that done to end up with a book that would be valued less by collectors if you ever did want to sell it.

^What makes it stand out is that there is no need for CGI. You can do anything with CGI, create any fight with any character you want. Maybe CGI was used here, who knows, but I sure did not notice it which made it feel 100% authentic. And I really liked that.

Maybe I am breaking the rules a bit selecting a TV show but for me Daredevil on Netflix was and still is the best thing MCU has done. I love some of the recent films but this show hit everything I wanted to see in a DD show. This hallway fight scene happened at the perfect moment in the show and was stunning IMO.

Signatures on the right books always seem to add value. But because you are bumping value, you are eliminating potential buyers more so than you are adding potential buyers I feel. I mean, how many times do people go "man, that 9.6 ASM 300 looks great...but I wish it had a signature on it. I think I will pass" ?? Say you have a CGC 9.6 book. I want that book and at $100, I can afford it. But supposed you get that book signed by a noteworthy contributor to the book and get the yellow label, still at a 9.6. Well you paid $50-100 for the signature so you now list the same book for sale in the $250-300 range. Outta range for me. Plus if I am someone who just wants the book or am completing a run or whatever, I am likely to go with the affordable 9.8 book. Now, some signatures people really want...in some cases more than the book but rarely. Classic creators no longer with us for example.

Is that really in a comic? And if so which one? Is it implied she is cleaning herself? Or.......

I mean, you would just be takin' care of business. I would hate for it to roll on down the highway and you be upset that you didn't charge more so you shout "hey you" and regret selling it. After all, you would just be lookin out for number 1. I'm done.....

You didnt mention your My Greatest Adventure 2 is signed on the back by BTO!
