    Never, ever, ever. An evergreen to stand alongside "What do you collect, sonny?" and seanfingh's feet.

    There are no slabs of those issues because they are treasury editions and measure about 10" x 14". There are no slabs made by any company for tabloid editions, tooling costs would be very high.

    I don't see any reason why it wouldn't pull a 4.0 - 5.0. I was thinking 4.5. Like you said, hopefully a good C+P will take care of the spine. Were you planning to use CCS or a third party? Based on a lot of the problems I've seen here on the boards, I'd be hesitant to use CCS.

    That 4.5 was nowhere near the nicest 4.5 I've seen, but I have my doubts about attributing the hammer price to movie hype. I cringe using the term, but Strange Tales #110 has been undervalued for a very long time. Prices have been rising steadily upward for the last year and a half. Last December, a 4.0 sold $6600, so even though $7200 for a 4.5 might look odd compared to current 5.0 - 6.0 prices, I don't think it's too crazy a price looking at the big picture. And if there's one thing the last year has shown, there's plenty of folks with money to throw around without concern for what a lot of long-term collectors would consider FMV.

    You gotta find a Dodge/Plymouth Duster with a straight six. Last forever and you can’t kill them. Except the days of $300-$500 Darts and Dusters are long gone.

    You got the shaft for sure, horrible packing job. Glad you're working something out with the seller. I take it you studied photography at the Seanfingh Institute?
