  1. Amazing research and picture Jeff! That newsstand was filled with good books to choose from.
  2. agreed. It's really not a surprising sale price for an entry level copy.
  3. i prefer Pre Bat covers of course, but I think the Adventures may sold better in that time period...just my speculation
  4. pre Bat days, I'd say Adventure was slightly more popular. Bat-Man of course changed that.
  5. Geofan (George) has nice golden age. Sardo (Josh) would be another that comes to mind. Both are sincere collectors more so than dealers.
  6. A low grade copy sold privately very recently at $50k a point.
  7. Correct. the 7 was the only FF cover he drew and inked himself...and as Parker said, some say Mr. Fantastic on that billboard is indeed a self portrait of Jolly 'Ole Jack.
  8. Great service from Dillon. Book was shipped same day before payment was sent.
  9. Agreed on all accounts, even if Cap is more popular as a character.
  10. Very nice Frank. Ditko was certainly prompt in writing back to fans. I was thankful to exchange three letters with him in 2015.
  11. very good points. I also forgot to mention that my friend in 1979 chose the ASM 1 because he was trying to complete the run in that title. It made more sense back then. Today's market is more focused on keys and dollar values...
  12. Mike, ASM1 oddly was very desirable in the 70s and 80s. I know a guy who chose an ASM 1 over an AF 15 at the same price in 1979 because it was a “#1” issue. It’s a head scratcher to us now as why anyone would pass on an AF15.
  13. I would take the #3. Earlier book too, and one of only three Spidey covers signed by Ditko. Both villains a toss up as for the more popular one. You get the pin up page in the #3 as well.
  14. Agreed. soft soft price and might not have been wise to end it on a Thursday morning for eBay. I was thinking this is at least a $25k copy. Will be interesting to see what the two low grade CGC Comic Connect copies go for next week.
  15. agreed 100%. The last few years I have settled for a few tough books with slightly less desirable PQ, but it really doesn't bug me too much. If I had passed on those books, I'd still be looking/waiting for copies. As long as there isn't any brittle page fragments floating in the mylar or slab, I am generally OK with it on super tough books.
  16. I would take any Bat 1 story page over the pin up. I would also take a Kazar story page if it's a Marvel 1 (although a Marvel 1 back cover is very rare and unique). From a pure enjoyment perspective, we do buy comics for their front cover, interior art, and stories and not back cover ads. I can understand a pin up (Bat 1, Supe 1, Cap 4, Marvel 17) back cover would be desirable though.
