  1. Are those holes in the spine or is that CT bleed thru? and how much was this book going for before the ant man movie?
  2. anyone know if the scanner lamp emits harmful UV rays? They sure are bright. maybe just a bit of fading happening with every scan? I'm gonna use a camera...
  3. I mean now and then. There is still tons of Bronze Age out there that hasn't been slabbed. You are saying that prices have settled and will continue to settle as the census fills for these books. That would mean that buyers of BA are unaware of the true quantities available because they only look at census numbers which take years to reveal true availability.
  4. Are you saying that the folks running up the prices of BA comics aren't aware that they're common as dirt and exist in high grade by the truck load because they only consider the census?
  5. give that bottom staple a tap or two, slab it then sell it! what was guide 22 years ago? $10?
  6. Don't press it. Heat, moisture, and high pressure on 80 yr. old newsprint is lunacy. The new holder might flatten it, if not, you're no worse off and can go from there. Myself, I'd crack it out then put it in a 4 mil mylar under 5 comics and let it sit.
  7. Same book sold on the same day on feebay both are 6.0 OW/W but one is blue label and one is purple label small amount of CT The PLOD is a significantly better looking book yet sells for 42% of the blue label! you guys aren't collectors, you're paper portfolio managers PLOD 6.0 blue 6.0
  8. Can you explain what is sensible about it
  9. taking the box fulls of EC & Stanley Morse, Planet, Atlas if I've room and throwing in a sawbuck for the stuff on the table you guys can fight over the rest
  10. When the global toilet paper shortage hits in 2053, it will return to its intrinsic value.
  11. If you look at all the covers, looks like they lost width starting with #9 https://www.comics.org/series/891/covers/ Your #29 looks normal. They probably reduced the width just enough to get a paper discount
  12. ok then I say 7,500 collectors can and will spend $7,500
  13. beats me it's raining out but...they wouldn't be equal numbers and you'd have to do it book by book and willingness will be a function of supply so I say the lines intersect at 25,000 collectors with the ability and willingness to spend $1,000.
  14. If you consider not only willingness of collectors to spend but also ability to spend then the point of interest is the intersection of those two lines. It is at that point you will find the collectors to dollars ratio.
  15. How can they justify giving that a 3.5? It's a zero!
  16. uhh you have been tasked with selling a 6.0-8.0 Action Comics #1? I would first post a picture of it...then get it slabbed which will cost a pile of $$$ don't forget $1.5mil in postal insurance when you mail it to CGC is this a normal forum occurrence? EDIT: registered mail only insures up to $50K, wonder how you ship something worth >$1mil?
  17. Someone in youtube comments had the idea to do the origin of the Tarman from Return of the Living Dead. He could be an army scientist working with 2-4-5 trioxin, things go wrong and he ends up in the canister.
  18. ooh I like that comic book how is the page quality?
