Please help new to collecting
comicginger1789 replied to Blackmassangel's topic in Newbie Comic Collecting Questions
Welcome! In terms of the bags with the little strip of glue on them, they are usually fine. I personally don't love them because the glue can stick to other books when put in a box which is annoying. I prefer bags without and using a piece of tape to seal. As for which bags and boards to buy, I will refer you to an old thread that should help answer your questions and allow you to make a decision. https://www.cgccomics.com/boards/topic/262065-best-mylar-bags-and-backer-board-combo/ -
Pics of your best comic& favorite
comicginger1789 replied to Hollywood1892's topic in Comics General
For most valuable, I have a laundry list of your average "collection" fodder like ASM 300, a newsstand Spawn #1, some earlier ASM issues (no mega keys), Batman 251, Marvel Preview 7. I suppose one of these would be my most valuable. Really though, I don't have a comic that solely exceeds $400-500. I grew up a 90s kid collecting Silver and Bronze age stuff so really I have only been able to expand my budget in the last decade since I graduated university and have a steady job. As for favourite, every issue in my collection means something to me. I love my treasuries, I love my record comic combos, I love my Moon Knight, my DD, my ASM. I love my double cover Ms. Marvel and I love my random horror and war issues. I love a lot of stories and individual books for different reasons (the art, the story, both). I love my small Golden Age collection, mostly LB Cole stuff. Probably my top though is my ASM 97. Signed by Stan Lee, interior page signed by Gil Kane. Missed a recent opportunity to have signed by John Romita but I am making it my resolution to do that this year. -
Rudolph The Rare Nosed Reindeer Treasury
comicginger1789 replied to comicginger1789's topic in Comics General
Thanks all for the info on the artist and contents! -
So I know this is rarer, supposedly because of the lower print run. Does anyone have any artist info? I only ask because the cover really grabs me and I’m considering buying because this copy looks so clean. If anyone has other info on it, I appreciate it!

This may inspire me to read more....I like it. Like others, I have a lot of stuff in the PC that requires reading. Here is my first of the year. I have a bunch of these Red Sonja issues that I will be plugging through. This issue was good. I like Thorne's art but I am not sure why. It is kind of messy at times and I find he stuffs a lot into a page or panel. Maybe that is a good thing because it keeps your eyes looking everyone and seeing different things. The story was also interesting and leaves some mystery as to what might happen next to Red Sonja. Also, a question here. Does Thorne hit the cons? I wouldn't mind meeting him some day.

I would not be surprised at all with 8.0-8.5. Very minor things take it outta the 9.0+ zone for me but it is a sharp looking book either way.

Help me grade Detective Comics 135

Please Grade My 1954 Witches Tales #25

X-men #101 Help with a Grade Please
comicginger1789 replied to Jim Fletcher's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
I am also around 3.0-3.5. Stains like that deter me like no other. I hate stains. Even the smallest water stain bugs me -
I will call it an okay year. It had the potential to be better but I made some rushed mistakes trying to sell some comics I bought and the end result left a bad taste. I wouldn’t say I lost out but I definitely didn’t gain what I was hoping. I consider it a learning experience moving forward as I continue to try to add to the collection. I would say I read more which was good. Still didn’t acquire a couple books but I have been ever patient and will continue to be so. I feel the right deal will find me in time on a couple key ASM books. The year before brought with it several big scores which I doubt can be topped soon but hey it’s a new decade and I am ever the optimist!

Are signature COA's worth having ?
comicginger1789 replied to Colin Nash's topic in Newbie Comic Collecting Questions
Exactly! My ASM 97 is signed inside by Gil Kane (unwitnessed) and I had Stan Lee sign the cover (came with COA). It has everything I need to be happy and enjoy the book and I would not ever get it slabbed. -
X-Men 94 for sale or trade
comicginger1789 replied to comicginger1789's topic in Golden/Silver/Bronze Age Only
Claimed! Thanks @Lpgk -
Wondering if anyone is interested in this one. Flaws include a few small creases, and the bottom staple at the centrefold is loose as seen in one of the pictures. I am asking $295 shipped. Or I am open to a trade. Some stuff I am looking for includes Swamp Thing 1, Marvel Spotlight 2 and 32, Conan 23, ASM 194, Astonishing Tales 25, Werewolf By Night 1. Would be happy to work out a trade or partial trade. Paypal only for payment. Message me if interested or with an offer:) If you buy or trade from me and are unhappy, I’ll make it right. And if you need a reference just let me know! Thanks!

PGM Incredible Hulk 1 - 6
comicginger1789 replied to Green-One's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
1 = 1.8-2.0 for me 2 = 2.5 because of the heavy browning and apparent brittle ness of the edges. 3 = 5.0-5.5 4 = 4.0-4.5 6 = 6.0 ish I don’t think anything is nicer than a Fine personally. 3 and 6 should be the highest and both in or close to the Fine range. -
PGM Iron Man #55
comicginger1789 replied to Real Frantic One's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
This. Too nice to be in Fine range and it’s not nice enough for VF -
I’m at 7.0 with and without the sig. don’t think it factors in to hurting this one at all.
