Does anyone know how many pre 1975 Cgc Marvel books get graded 9.8. It seems extremely low. Help?

Thanks. 

So with only 12 on the census what would a fair market value be on this book? It is the cameo appearance of Agatha Harkness. Can anyone help?

If you’re concerned with Cgc acknowledgement, go look for slabbed pictures of the comics you mentioned, and see what the notation is.  If you’re not satisfied with whatever notation they have, step up yourself and make your case directly to Cgc.  They have customer service and email addresses.  Use pictures and captions, be polite and organized and logical

 

good luck

Hi everyone just circling back around as I mentioned in my last post the Maestro Hulk is gaining steam as Peter David’s mini series of books comes out this month. Obviously, marvel is going to take Maestro to the next level. I am wondering if Hulk 401 will be acknowledged for the first appearance of the maestro in the reflection of water on page 12. This book was out in November 1992 before future imperfect 1 and 2. Peter David certainly put in there for a reason. Hopefully, someone will step up and make some mention of this. What are we waiting for. Logical responses welcome.

Okay everyone as you can see Maestro Hulk is heating up a bit with the 5 part mini series coming out in August. Will Hulk 401 get any love as the first appearance or at least acknowledged as the vision of the character by David and Pérez on page 12. Just a little hint the movie is coming and he will be the next Thanos, but don’t take my word for it.😊

Anyone out there have one?

Still thinking about the museum idea. One way to get in without actually being a big artist It’s pretty cool to get 200 views in less than 2 days the signatures definitely have an impact.

I was told since three of the legends are dead and Bellman is in his late 90’s the book should be in a museum. Also I have two of the artists pictures signing the book. All the signatures are on the first page very rare. Kirby signed it in the late 70’s, Lee signed it in 1980, Simon signed it in 2009 and Bellman 2019. Most people don’t know that Kirby signed very few signatures after the late 80’s. Also, Lee only signed books on the inside early. Most of his Cgc signatures were on the cover of the books.

What would someone pay to have all four signatures on the inside page of this rare comic?

I was wondering if anyone can tell me the value or rarity of all 3 signatures Kirby, Simon and Lee on a Captain America #40 from 1944. I have looked everywhere and I can’t find anything.

help!

I can’t get into it in detail but this is going to prove very important down the road trust me?

On the website it clearly states that Hulk 401 sales started in November of 1992. I still think CGC should acknowledge at the very least the vision of Maestro by Delphi or am I missing something here. Maybe we should get some validation from Peter David himself?

Future Imperfect published Dec 1992

Hulk 401 Jan 1993

Hi every I still haven’t found an answer to my question as to why Incredible Hulk 401 pg 12 is not the first appearance of the Maestro Hulk. It is clear to me Peter David put that in the story line for a reason for bigger things. I want to get the books graded but with no mention of the Maestro Hulk I am holding off.

thanks

Hello everyone I still haven’t found any answers on why the first appearance of Maestro Hulk is not the vision the Delphi had on page 12 in the Incredible Hulk 401. Clearly Peter David put this there for a reason. I don’t know why CGC makes no mention of this in their description on the label. I know because I have one of the few graded. Help!

thanks

Can anyone out there in the Comic universe tell me why the Incredible Hulk 401 doesn’t get credit for the first appearance of the Maestro Hulk. On page 12 there is a distinct picture of him in some sort of vision or reflection. I just purchased a 8.5 copy and there is no mention of this important fact. Please help me out here.

So I guess we can call them preview appearances. Sounds good to me.

R

Funny stuff. Many skeptics out there about first appearances. I guess you could have first appearances or ideas before the full story in a comic. The comics journal I think is a rare situation with the black costume because it no longer is in publication. I can’t think of any other character that I know of . I wonder if they talk about Superman or Batman’s capes and if there were drawings in different publications. I don’t think so. This was a big thing for Marvel. What ever you want to call it the date of October 1983 proves the costume first appeared in print.

R

I have been doing a great deal of research on the first appearance of Spider-Man’s black costume. My findings were confusing to a new collector. Most people say it was in amazing Spider-Man #252 published in May of 1984. I found a copy of the comics journal from October 1983 with a picture of the black costume and this was shortly after Randy Schueller drew the character and Jim Schooter bought it for $220. I have subsequently gone ahead and tried to put other appearances in chronological order but the first in my opinion would be the comics journal from 1983.

Rick

Hello out there. Does anyone have a Bill Mantlo signature? I would be very interested.

thanks
