Thank you very much for this. I did not know Harley got a new website.

Still chopping them books up. https://www.ebay.com/str/emeraldimports

This just means that the discount from FMV or GPA for raw books will be even greater going forward, right? Why's everybody laughing?

Also there was that time Speedy was gopped up on goofballs...

I might take perfectly centered over Cream pages even. A little white strip is not the greatest but I can live with it as long as the whole thing is cut/wrapped straight. I'd rather have a thin white strip on front than an equal size strip of FC on the back.

I wonder how much Captain America #1 signed by the German chancellor guy would go for...

I'l say 4.0, the whites look amazing though.

Not knowing the cost of the cover you have, I would say generally speaking a married copy should be worth a bit more than a coverless copy. That is how it's supposed to work, but there are examples of married copies are in blue labels, especially golden age books. The big question here I would think is, are you certain that the cover you have has no restoration? Probably the best approach is to have a highly regarded presser do the marrying and check the cover for resto, and then submit it to CGC. Depending on the alignment of the stars the day it is graded you might even get a blue label. I'll let the golden age experts elaborate on the chances of that.

All-American All-Star More Fun

Is Mopee going to be in the Flash movie?

I'd like to see what Zack Snyder could do with

Careful, kid! That copy will never get a 9.8 now!

Interesting. I pulled out a tape measure and some early silver age books. The Marvels are consistent as you say until the Bronze Age '75 shrinkage. Marvel started it's Silver Age under 7" wide right from the start. The DCs however didn't slim down to under 7" until early '64 and then down to current size around the same time as Marvel. I stand corrected.

Early Bronze most would say due to the 15 cent cover price. And yes Silver Age books got narrower as the Silver Age progressed.

I love that issue, bought it off the stand back in the day. It sounds like the centerfold is now fully detached from both staples. An experienced presser might try to slide the paper back underneath the staples but tbh it's gone, man. That centerfold is detached, which would mean max CGC 6-7.0 probably now if the rest is 9.0+.

Does it take a licking? Do not submerge 9.4 copy of AF 15 in sea water at home.

Which brings us back around to neglected FF keys...

Maybe they could grade comics over Zoom and send you a label and encapsulation kit?

Obviously over $4000 at this point but nobody will know until you let us know how much you're selling yours for!

It looks like a clean and press would probably improve the vertical reading creases near the right and left edges where they don't break color. Agree a 5.0 as is, but with potential.

Chuck doesn't need me to white knight for him but he prices for the long term future. The world population will likely increase, and the available comic books can only decrease. IF you accept his premise that people will always love comic books, you can see why owning ALL the comix books and pricing them accordingly makes internal sense.

GoCollect not showing anything since the June 2020 sale for $391, but their FMV is now set at $800 for 3.5.

I couldn't help but notice not a single mention of Hulk 181. I tend to agree. JIM 83 is a good suggestion. The first you should buy...? Probably FF 2 or 5.
