Justice League of America #1

Fantastic Four #112 CGC 8.0 OW/W.

$225 SOLD! Fantastic Four #67 CGC 8.5 OW/W. I had CCS remove a price sticker on this raw undercopy book, which was otherwise in great shape and deserved every bit of the 8.5, but now a gift grade. Solid otherwise.

[SOLD] Doctor Solar Man of the Atom #1 CGC 7.5 OW/W No recent sales, a 6.0 sold for $275 this month. Cool cover, repeated on back!

Daredevil #168 CGC 9.4 (OW/W).

Captain Marvel #1 CGC 9.4 OW/W

Avengers #5 CGC 6.5 OW/W.

Avengers #3 CGC 4.5 OW/W.

The Atom #1 CGC 6.0 OW. Low census pop, early SA book, with no recent sales.

Adventures of the Fly #10 CGC 8.0 OW/W. A funny cover!

Mostly under copies and otherwise trimming the PC. Nice mix, I think, presented in alphabetical order. RULES No Probation List or Hall of Shame members, or other unsavory sorts. "I'll take it" in thread will trump any negotiations in PM, emails, etc. Payment: PayPal, check or money order, please. Will ship promptly after payment clears. Shipping: $10.00 USD for first slab and $5 each slab after that via USPS to continental USA. Local pickup in NYC is also a no-charge option. Return Policy: No returns on CGC graded books.

Sorry for your loss, @CGC MikeMike.

Since finding this with both Sr. and Jr. signatures, it has been particularly thought-evoking around Father's Day. Now more so. But also curiously, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse not only featured the Prowler prominently, but also revolved primarily around the father-son dynamic, which makes it interesting that this is the book with both signatures. RIP

Collectors love their stuff so valuation prospects often may not be as big a deal. Ideally to the moon with it all. But I don't share the doom and gloom, which seems like a knee-jerk reaction to recent flux. Difficult to address adequately in a post, esp while still in bed! But here goes. For GA, seems like the Looney Tunes #1 (so many big 1st apps and all of them on the cover) falls into the category of those books that even regular Joes realize should be long-term gems. Star Trek 1 and Scooby Doo 1 come to mind-- franchises which had undeniably huge but enduring impact, but they also enjoy relatively limited supply for a non-GA book (especially in high grade). Or like Batman and Detective Comics and early Superman, which appear to remain run-worthy ala early Spidey. Or like many Timely titles, Centaurs, Frazetta funnies, and well-known classic covers (GGA, PCH, Schomberg, Nazi-Hitler and other war covers for example)--that remain trophy-case worthy regardless of periodic hype. First issues of key GA titles also appear to fall into this forever-ish group, like JIM1, ST1, Pep1, etc, but I wouldn't be surprised if many GA first issues do, too. Many collect firsts regardless of hype. And Looney Tunes #1 with that yellow cover, a niche category onto itself. Ultimately any cool GA book may be fine long term due to supply, but I expect especially a book like Looney Tunes 1 whether or not Bugs Bunny shares the big screen with MJ or Lebron as recently as 2021, or the next generational sports talent. SA has some keepers, too, not just AF15, but like high grade Silver Surfer 1 and 4 (too legit to quit?) etc. But SA's forte lies in its enduring broad appeal, with so many key appearances and popular artists, that keep supply in check. The pullback since 2022 was expected, but SA "should" be fine long term, esp Spidey, Hulk, FF, X-Men (these titles look like they'll even remain run-worthy investments long term, too, in part because there are so many key appearances). And of course those special DC keys. Those first appearances including team firsts like Avengers 1 and BB28 have arguably become forever-ish books, despite the inevitable volatility due to supply. Much more can be said here, but I'll leave it at that. See? Sunshine all around!

Red Ryder

Captain Fearless

The Blue Seal Gang in this book

Black Pirate, 2nd appearance in this book.

Golden Arrow

Charlie Brown!

The Red Hood (TEC 168).

Black Marvel in Timely's All Winners Comics #1.

Of course Captain Marvel and CM Jr., and Captain Midnight

General George C. Marshall! In World Famous Heroes Magazine #1 (Centaur, 1941). I expect that title has more issues with characters that fit the bill.
