Torpedo Con pickup!

Nice pick up 👍

If I was at the con you wouldn't of seen it.

It's a May 72 book and I buy them all for my spinner rack

If you ever want to trade it I'll trade you 4 Charlton romances for it?

I still get out bid at auctions.

Original romance comic art from early 70s. 5 pages all going for between $80-$170 with buyers premium. The page I wanted was out bid, I had $280 and it went for $10 over then add buyers premium. Then there are other books I end up losing too or get a FMV and they are 9.2 run books. Maybe it's just my luck

Price the pages are going for, the one page I actually bid on and lost to the next bid

That's how auction always work for me.

Bright side I got the seller more money

I would like to see Bob dressed up in a dog costume at a convention.  Then I can buy an accurately graded book at a fair price.  Before leaving his booth, I can pat him on the head.  

Would that make a dealer my friend?  

Wouldn't that technically make him your best friend?

🐶

If dealers aren't our friends, why did one invite me onto his boat for a day out on the harbor?

If I'm really digging for a complaint, it looks like the inner pages might be starting to tan around the edges. Hard to be that harsh with it though. >9.2

I quite agree about the page quality, I was able to get $50 off sticker price because of it. For some reason these distributor bought books collection the 25c DC books are a little hit and miss with page quality, while the DC 20c books appear to have bone white pages.

Another book bought straight off a distributor back in the early 70s. Thanks for looking. One book hard to find in high grade so another that should be dropped off at the next local con where CGC are.

And a couple of Australian Price variations

Scored a big 5 points, if I ever sell books raw remember I grade harsher then CGC, Actually I over graded the Avengers

So scrap that

🤪

22 Pep, yeah that's important.

22 Crimesuspense stories pretty important too as it may have been the cover that sealed the deal for comics code being on all comics for only a small amount of time like 5 decades.

I'm the same way with obvious facsimiles.

And I suppose that's why I don't own a Ultimate Fallout 4.

With all the different variants, editions and facsimiles I haven't bothered to navigate what's what and have just stuck to the older books.

Australia frew Phantom.

This was a copy bought off a news stand in 2019.

82 Marvel Mystery Comics. 1st appearance of Namora

91 Tales To Astonish 1st cover appearance of Abomination (if another more important book can't be found)

Though already a important book for 22 already used.

22 Crimesuspense stories (classic cover)

7 Daredevil 1st red costume, ist billy club grappling hook. (personally I think this is the second most important book of Daredevil's run)
