    Another book with great colors, hurt by creases. I thought the top staple was detached, but after inspection it's very loosely held on.

    The spine is not split, but def color breaking. I can't seem to upload the picture, but I'll try again shortly

    The creases are the killer on this one. The colors are great and the book is structurally sound, but the color breaking creases hurt the presentation.

    Hello, I'm looking to include a handful of books in a trade for a low grade Tales of suspense 39. As we work out the details, I want to make sure I'm providing accurate grades so I thought I would turn to you guys for help. DD4 - first purple man.

    That's a steal. One of my favorite WWII covers. I had a raw copy several years ago that I sold and I've always regretted it. I hope this one finds a good home!

    I've had this for a few years, but I just got it back from being graded. I was hoping for a 2.5, but overall I'm really happy with how it presents!

    Thanks Jim! That was just to cool to pass up! Now I need to stay off this site because I'm going broke!

    Even with a married cover, that's an outrageously cool book at a very reasonable price! Does it advertise #27 in it? Good luck with the sale!

    I mean, the red is Daredevil, but there is something so cool about the original yellow

    Congratulations!

    A guys who's super power is equivalent to my 2 year old sons? He can throw sand and make awesome sand castles? Hardly a key! Just kidding! ASM 4 should be added. Spider-Man is like Batman in the sense that he introduced a ton of great villains.

    In my mind, this is how I break up silver age Marvel keys. Maybe others disagree, but this is how I generally categorize different levels of keys. AF15 /FF1 and IH 1 are the holy grails. Valuable and tough to get (although with enough money any of us could buy any of them right now). Super keys: JIM83, TOS39, TTA27, ASM1, Xmen1, Avengers 1, Daredevil 1. Keys: FF48, FF5, ASM3 , 6, 14, Avengers 4.... This list goes on and on, but those are examples And even though FF5 or avengers 4 might be more valuable than Daredevil 1, I still consider DD1 a super key... Maybe I've got a thing for the yellow suit!
  13. KCOComics
    I agree with everything you said.... Only, I see ASM 3, 6 and 14 as keys because they introduce major villains... Even if the value doesn't rise significantly in comparison to the issues before and after it. Said another way, I think there is a certain level of subjectivity in determining what is a "key".
  14. KCOComics
    I think it's hard to quantify key issues with dollars amounts. All the early Marvel Mystery comics are worth over $1k, but I wouldn't necessarily call them all keys. Don't get me wrong, I would love to own them, but I feel like the value has to be coupled with something significant. A first appearance or first issue.

    Oh yeah, I was totally kidding! AF15 is a dream for me right now! I've considered selling books to go after it, but I'm just not ready yet. Congratulations on completing the Spider-Man run. That's awesome!

    Because I'm a nice guy, and I would hate to see you miss out, I will trade you my hulk 181 for your AF15! It's a beautiful slabbed 7.0!
  17. KCOComics
    Yes, your right! GSX1 is a biggie. For some reason I wrongly think of it as silver age. I think because it's an X-Men key.
  18. KCOComics
    This is 100% right! When I was a kid, it was punisher, wolverine, Batman and for me, the X-Men because the cartoon was awesome!
  19. KCOComics
    As a child of the 90s, punisher and wolverine were my two favorites. The punisher was hugely popular and had several solo titles. I probably read every Punisher War Journal comic cover to cover a dozen times. When I started collecting, the first two big books I bought were hulk 181 and ASM 129. To a broke teenager in the late 90s, those two keys were much more affordable than the big silver age titles. I still have them both with no plans to sell. But besides Hulk 181, I can't think of a more worthy bronze age key. I do love HOS92, but it's hard to argue that it's more worthy of key status than ASM129.

    I'll weigh in because I like this topic! I've been collecting since I was in high school. 20 years or so. When I bought silver age books, I never opened them. In fact I still have dozens of raw books, bagged and boarded that I've never opened. I'm never going to be one to crack a slab open so I can read it and most of my 4 figure books are slabbed to be protected. That said, my 7 year old thinks owning comics and not reading them is ridiculous. And he's right! Collecting has been really fun the last few years because we've been buying golden age and silver age books together and carefully reading the old stories and checking out the old ads! We even read my Avengers 1 before sending it off to CGC. So I can see it both ways. I don't want to damage a rare or valuable book. But there is something so cool about reading those stories and carefully turning through the pages. It's like an event! My son and I have been buying allot of the true believers reprints and reading the big keys, but if I was lucky enough to get a raw FF1 or Hulk 1, I would very carefully read it. Also, Joe - your comment was totally not insulting!

    My "submit" button lags for like 3 seconds and I've missed every single book I've tried for tonight. Such is life
