I remember being on these boards and reading a similar opinion about anything from the Bronze Age. Amazing how much has changed over the last 10-15 years.

Looking for mostly Marvel but about 20% DC. A while back I started a list of all the copper keys I remember reading or buying at the LCS. I was surprised at how long the list was. There are several that might not be considered keys (Daredevil #249, Conan #241) but I liked the stories or art. As for ASM #298, #299 & #300, they are on the list but I will probably have to be content with a 9.6. I think my OCD can handle a 80/20 split of 9.8/9.6 on copper newsies. I'm sure I'll have to adjust the 10% to 50% premium upward in the future as the list shrinks but for now it seems to be working for me.

Stay informed, alert, patient and stick to your percentages. A few will trickle thru. I'm in the early stages of acquiring copper newsies so I have almost 100 books on my list. So far I'm finding that targets present themselves at a rate almost equal to my ability to afford them. I hopeful that I can complete this list sometime before the sweet release of death.

Eloquently put.

I guess I'm on the other end of the spectrum. I will gladly pay a 10% to 50% premium for key 9.8 newsies from 1984 to 1993. I have little to no interest in collecting direct as they seem to be ubiquitous.

And another:

Finally spiked an Aliens v2 #2 in 9.8 to complete the set. It wasn't cheap. This cover and #1 are my favorite in all of Aliendom. Awesome story too.

Daylite version of cover from Web of Horror #3 Still looking for a HG copy of to bookend the Treasury.

And anotha newsstand mutha: Savage McFarlane Style!

Lin Wein story, Wrightson cover....Man-Thing.... just feels weird. Here's a few to help wash the taste of the "Man-Thing" outta your mouth.....err, I mean eyes. I know, it's not Bronze but it"s FREAKIN ALIENS & WRIGHTSON & SIGNATURE SERIES!

I'll build her a dungeon so she'll never have to leave the house again!

Love me some bronze-age romance.

Hello, I would like to request a score adjustment for Green Lantern #87 (date: 12/71 - 01/72). Current 9.4/9.6/9.8 point values are 420/700/1120 respectably. The 2019 average GPA selling price was $849 for 9.4 with 9 sold. The 2018/2019 average GPA selling price was $1,268 for 9.6 with 7 sold and $2,445 for 9.8 with 5 sold. Thanks. Score Updated. Thank you

Hello, I would like to request a score adjustment on Aliens #1 and #2 (Dark Horse 1988). The 2018 average selling price on GPA for Aliens #1 in 9.8 was $607 with 4 books sold, 2019 average was $624 with 5 books sold. No current sales (2016 was last reported sale) are listed on GPA for Aliens #2 in 9.8. However, a 9.8 copy sold in ComicLinks June 2019 auction for $1,156 and another copy sold in ComicLinks Sept. 2019 auction for $716. Aliens #2 is also more scarce in 9.8 grade than all the other books in the series. There are #1 - 36 copies, #2 - 7 copies, #3 - 37 copies, #4 - 26 copies, #5 - 15 copies, #6 - 20 copies. Thanks. Scoring updated for Aliens #1. Can you please provide screenshots of the auction results for Aliens #2. I am not finding any previous sales therefore, I cannot update at this time. Thank you

Hello again, sorry to be a pest but I just checked and score is still unchanged. The current score for X-men #101 (10/76) in 9.6 is listed at 6579. Im o.k. if this is correct, I'll just add #101 to my want list with #94 and #100. I just want to make sure the score is correct before I do. Thanks. It seems to be reflecting at this time. It may have taken a bit to update. Please let me know if you are still seeing an error. Thank you

Hello, The score on X-Men #101 was increased to the point that a 9.6 copy of X-Men #94 (6375) is valued less than X-Men #101 (6579). The point value for #101 in 9.6 was increased from 1170 to 6579. Is this correct? Thanks. Hello, Thank you for bringing this to my attention. The current score for X-men #101 (10/76) in a 9.6 was listed at 3759 but I just dropped it to 1250. I am not sure where the numbers were originally pulled from but they were too high. Unfortunately, there are not many recent sales of this book. The UK variant has been more active which makes it more difficult to price. The X-Men #94 will stay the same which is 6375 for a 9.6.

New addition.

Nope, must be the scanner. It looks like there may be another crease along the spine just below "A Tough Nut to Crack" but that must be the scanner also. I am looking at the slab now and the spine is perfect.

A few more:

No graders notes on either issue.

Just back from CGC. I thought both of them had a great shot at 9.8.
