Help Me Find A Comic For Dad!
comicginger1789 replied to comicginger1789's topic in Silver Age Comic Books
Haha he is retired….I should get him drawing. He used to make treasure hunts for me and friends with elaborate sketches as clues to where the next clue was hidden. Good times. -
Help Me Find A Comic For Dad!
comicginger1789 replied to comicginger1789's topic in Silver Age Comic Books
We found it! Was originally a story presented in tales of suspense 18 that was reprinted exactly in Monsters On The Prowl 20. However I showed these to my dad and he was adamant that the robot was not the same at all…and even sent me this sketch he drew! So a footnote online eventually lead to Tower of Shadows 2, which had update art for the same story. Check out the similarities between the robot and what dad drew…his memory has not failed him! -
PGM Werewolf by Night #32 - THE GRADE IS IN
comicginger1789 replied to Matt1982's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
A tanned book should grade lower. The paper is degrading. Over time that browning become weaker and weaker to the point where you can easily bend/fold and tear a comic with severe brown edges -
6.5-7.0. Staining or discolouring along the spine, corner crease and edge wear. Are the staples loose (the interior hangs below the book suggesting the staples might be loose.

PGM - Marvel Spotlight 5
comicginger1789 replied to Barth's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
Structurally it is strong looking but the back cover seems tanned or discoloured. I'd be curious to see the inside back cover. I think 7.0-7.5 is where it falls -
I also have ASM Annual 1 with a tape pull....I will snap a pic later!

I nailed the Exciting I whiffed on the Brave and Bold. 3.5 from me. I was harsh on the back. 3 points I was a grade high on Cap Marvel and Lois Lane. 2 points And the NM98. I was at 8.5 with that corner crease and spine wear. I own an 8.5 and it looks miles better than this 9.2 (mine has no corner crease and the spine wear isn’t bad) so of all these this is one I disagree with the most. 2 points 7 total

I have never met anyone who pays more for such a defect The only ones that seem to garner interest (and more money) are double covers and some of the more known colour or printing errors on books (the one FF book, 112 I think where the inks are all off). Other weird manufacturing defects (siamese pages, miscuts, extra staples, missing staples and so on) some find cool but generally don't pay a fortune for them.

PGM Amazing Spider-Man 17
comicginger1789 replied to Nilo2's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
I also think a 5.0 is manageable and anything more would be a gift. -
I'll second a note for glare especially if it looks like that and a multitude of people seem to think and see that. I guess you would not know until after though. Perhaps a regrade on a book? At any rate, if it affected a lot of people negatively the same then so be it. Just means we have to step it up on the upcoming rounds!

My full grades were Red Dragon #7 CGC 5.0 (felt some of the edge wear warranted lower) Superboy #68 CGC 3.0 (yay) Captain America #117 CGC 9.4 (completely missed the bottom right corner AND the small stain on back) Werewolf by Night #32 CGC 4.5 (gave it the WWBN #32 bump unnecessarily) Sentai #2 CGC 7.0 (my Kryptonite...and it is funny because I said well I think its a 9.0-9.2 but there is a vertical crease top left of the book along the spine and I felt due to the length, it would drop it this much. No crease at all just glare....ugh) 9 points?

Sold a comic for $100. Buyer relists for $100K!
comicginger1789 replied to littledoom's topic in Comics General
Well there is starting a price high and then there is this I can understand shooting for a 3 or 4x multiple tops of what a regular CGC 7.0 would fetch. This is ridiculous and should be ridiculed -

comicginger1789 replied to comicjoe1234's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
Staple stress marks, tiny corner crease, other small areas of wear. 8.0 for me
