Just updating, the 2nd giclee (“A Filthy Process") in the series is up on nakatomi sight ready to order. Last one sold out really quick so if you are interested may want to grab it in the next few days.

I sure thought this guy won since he was 1 point off from TOTAL POINTS SCORED (not predict the exact score by each team)...

Thanks for pointing this out to me.

It appears my wording and my example are conflicting. In the example I gave on how I was scoring it, Ryan was the winner. My thought when setting up the scoring system was that someone predicting a 31-24 score was closer than someone predicting a 45-7 score. Even though the total points of 45-7 was closer to the total points than 31-24. After looking at my wording, I can see the "Contestant that picks the correct winner and is closest to total points scored" would throw people off even though the example clearly (I thought) showed how I would score it.

That said, it looks like we now have 2 winners!

I'll put together a 2nd prize this afternoon. Ryan will get first pick and 707comics will get the other.

That's the cutoff. Good luck to all. Go 49ers!

Its a mix of Flash, Worlds Finest, Justice League America, Action, Green Lantern, Superboy...

This Green Lantern comic is one of the better shaped ones, while the Action Comic shows this spine role/curl i was talking about. 

I probably wouldn't be sending these type books to CGC. The Green Lantern 40 has a subscription crease and could just as easily be a VG grade as a Fine. With shipping and CGC fees you could be better off selling it raw. A box of mid grade silver age books is going to have some value to it, but getting them graded could easily eat into your profits. Put them in a mylar with a nice backing board and they will present well.

Ummm incorrect yes I have read every comic I’ve ever owned.

Yes she was 13 and?

Its what CGC says that seems to matter at the end otherwise your post would not even exist.

Go read it again.

I'll wait.

X men 160 is labeled as 1st adult Iliana Rasputin.

So she was not called Magik in that issue.

Its her 1st appearance as who she really is now as a character.

So if they changed here name to Demonika? What would be her 1st appearance??

Hmmmmm still 160

 

I'm assuming you have never read X-Men 160, there's a lot of misinformation about it. Illyana is pulled out of limbo at the end of the story as a 13 year old (not adult). The book is basically set up as the "book ends" to the "Magik" series. Once she returns from limbo she basically appears on the last page of X-Men 160 with no knowledge of any new powers or her sword. The Magik series then explains what happened in limbo, how she obtained her powers and the sword. A few years back X-Men 160 and New Mutants 14 were both argued to be her 1st appearance. If you have read the full storyline it is pretty obvious it is the Magik series. This has all been discussed previously on the boards (in depth).

For what it's worth, the Marvel Database and Marvel Wiki now list Magik #1 as her 1st appearance.

Manhunter (1970s Goodwin/Simonson Version)

Not a big fan of the Amazing Spider-Man 129 club. Never became attached to the Punisher as a character, which is odd as I absolutely loved Man Wolf a few months earlier. I've always wondered if Romita and Kane had remained on the book another 4 or 5 issues if that would have pulled me in. The Kane/Romita cover is iconic, but the interiors were just "meh" at that point. I know Andru has his fans, but to me, the classic Spider-Man run ended at #124. I just don't look at the Andru run the same.

Oh really? I wasn't expecting these until the end of the month. Very cool.

Beautiful image, very heavy paper, it's a little darker than I was expecting but that's probably just me. I got #s 50 and 51 and I thought I got in towards the end. Wouldn't be surprised if some dealer or collector bought in quantity. Or maybe it's just that the #s didn't correspond with the order in which orders were placed.

Mine arrived today. Really nice print, will look great on the wall!

Avengers King Size Annual #2, the classic new vs old Avengers lineups by John Buscema. I remember seeing it on someones website in the late 1990s for $10,000. I thought about shifting some cash out of my 401k to get it, but had second thoughts. Sigh...

How about $25 shipped for both copies?
