It's felt like GA books were holding the line pretty well. But it feels like we are seeing more cracks on that end of the market.

Nice looking copy. I feel like you never see these guys raw any more.

SA keys still seem to be crashing. FF1, Hulk 1, X1 feel pretty affordable in that low / mid grade range.

Some great atomic age books!

That was fun to watch. I do wonder what else the husband had. Everything was a key or semi-key, so if the other 60 are like that, he's got a pretty nice collection.

I did 4 or 5 years ago. No issues. I made a reasonable offer on a HOS92. They accepted. I had read horror stories about how long they take to ship, but I got it within a few weeks. It was a graded book, so no problem with grading. Honestly, it's probably the last book I've bought from them. I had a good experience, I just don't like their site and never seem to find what I'm looking for.

Yup. It's been eye opening. I realize i got very lucky when I needed restoration work. Hero was on the short list I considered. On the surface, they were the most professional. They had the cleanest website, two locations, little pictures of the staff. I actually picked Kenny because I had started talking to Susan. When covid hit, her priorities changed and she strongly recommended Kenny. If she hadn't, I would probably be in this mess with everyone else. So I don't blame any of the victims. I think we've all had to make decisions with important books and two years ago, Hero looked like a pretty safe choice.

I don't collect this particular title, but I can tell you High Grade Bronze horror is getting annoyingly expensive!! I say annoyingly as someone trying to put together a High Grade BA HOS run. A few years ago you could pick up most issues in 9.0 or better for under $100. Adam's and Wrightson covers generally commanded a premium. But now all issues seem to be a few hundred dollars and there is alot of competition for HG raw issues.

A couple of keepers!! Both Mycomicshop wins.

For the record, I took 3 pictures within 10 seconds standing in the exact same spot and posted them exactly the same way. And each picture posted in a different direction.

A few recent wins. 2 from @mycomicshop recent auction and 1 from @Dale Roberts annual take-fest (my lone win this year). The Speed Carter (Atlas) with the Harvey file tag is my favorite!! I've seen a few comics with these tags, but this is the first one I've owned.

I'm really sorry about this. Glad you got your book back safely. I know as collectors that often takes prioroty for us. Still i hope everyone pursues legal action. The best case scenario is people may get their books back and just have their money stolen. The worst case scenario both the money and books are gone forever. This is totally unacceptable and Hero / Mike need to be held accountability.

I don't believe he can see it until he has 50 posts here. @CGC Mike can help.

Thanks Rick - out of curiosity, do you remember if it was a #4?

I may have this wrong - But a few years ago, @Ricksneatstuff was selling an All-Negro Comics. I can't remember the number, but I remember him mentioning how rare it was. I don't remember if it sold or who it sold to. I tagged him for more insight and hopefully my memory isn't completely off!! Very cool collection! I've never owned any of those books!

I love your Superman WWII covers. Congrats

That's exactly what I was thinking! Great book!

There are alot of threads about him. If I remember correctly he's perfectly legit. Long time collector who sets high prices and doesn't mind waiting. (I hope I'm not confusing him with any of the more nefarious sellers we have threads about)

Congrats on the pick up! Let us know how it works out with shipping and everything.

Sorry the book is still missing. Especially a FF5! Have you talked to CGC since the above? What are they saying?

That presents beautifully for the grade!! Those Chesler books are so exciting to see!

I'll take these two Tales of the unexpected.

Take SA 106 if available

I'll grant both HOS issues if available

Someone had said earlier, they suspect whatever personal collection he had, he likely sold long ago.
