How about "first death?" Would that constitute anything?

Sounds like the most mocking but fair joke on the comic book industry

It annoys me terribly that, in the modern era, every other comic book carries the loud title of "KEY ISSUE. The reason for this is the simple death of some character.

I'm well aware that the definition of a key issue was invented in the last century. And back then "key death" made sense. I think you know why. But now, with characters dying and being reborn on a regular basis, all these key deaths look very ludicrous. 

Yes, when a character died in the Silver and Bronze Ages, it really meant his death and it had to be immortalized as a "key issue" since the character never came back (yes, I'm sure there are many exceptions for the Silver Age as well, but let's pretend my argument works). But now...now it all looks like the most standard part of the -script, not some story that needs to be immortalized on a label and written everywhere that it's a key issue.

As cool as ASM #121 was, I can't even see it as a full key issue. semi-key issue at most. And I don't take other of the "key" deaths for anything important at all.

Is there any alternative viewpoint regarding key deaths? I'd be very happy to hear from you.

Newbie collectors when they see a 90's comic (and also a completely honest seller who is ready to sell a 90's comic at a good discount!):

Excellent acquisition, congratulations! I too sold my copy a couple of years ago to a friend of mine for $150. I'm glad that I can now repurchase it for a much lower cost

Stan Lee may have been the Koolest Kat in the whole world and his signature has been known to cure nerdiness in moments. I can't think of a Kooler Kollectible than having a book signed by Stan " The Man".  I've many Stan Lee signed books, several signed by both Stan Lee and Joe Simon and even a print signed by Stan and Joe and their junior partner, Jack Kirby.  As Disney continues to bring Stans creations to the big and small screens, I imagine the cult around him will continue to grow, but as he is  still dead, the autograph opportunities will decrease.

Your country is obviously blessed with  good taste and is ahead of the curve. Just don't use your bitcoins to buy Lees autograph as it is positioned to explode any day now.  If you share the location of this paradise, I might fly in with my mini-hoard and live out my days selling them on your beaches. How is the wifi situation in your country?

This is Russia. But it’s quite difficult to sell here, because you can’t always guess whether this comic will be bought or not. Wifi is quite good

Hi all! I live in another country and we just have the wildest cult around Stan Lee and everything connected with him. We sell absolutely random Late Silver Age comics for a huge amount of money simply because Lee wrote the -script for them. And his signatures, especially confirmed ones, cost up to a thousand dollars, or even more, despite the fact that the comic book on which the signature was left is not remarkable at all, and delivery to our country costs $ 40. Once I even saw the sale of "limited'' and an "exclusive" Stan Lee toy with his signature for $2,000. And no one was indignant at the high price, on the contrary, everyone wanted to buy this toy and even began to save money for it.
Every time I tell people in my country, "It's just one of Stan Lee's billions of autographs! It can't be worth that much!" They answered me with something like: "Shut up, "expert", I saw how his autographs were sold on eBay for a thousand dollars!" (I hope you don't need to explain that "buy it now" on eBay is not always correct in terms of prices). Many of us even believe that Lee's signature on absolutely any comic automatically increases its value by 500%. And is it necessary, after all that I said, talk that many collectors in my country want Lee's signature on literally every comic book they have?

So I have a question that I want to ask here, because here are so many cool and experienced collectors: Do you want Stan Lee's signature on every your marvel comic? Do you think his signature is really valuable and rare (lol). Also, I would love to hear if you have a cult around Stan Lee in the US and Canada?

I have found a number of flaws that reduce the comic's condition. In this connection, the price falls even more.

And I hope we can do business together at some point…

Our cooperation is more than realistic, given that we live relatively close.

Reduced price!

I found how much the price varied between different sources. I always try to find the maximum average price + I lower the price a little for the fact that I am a foreigner. I don’t know how much my price is fair. Therefore, people, do not hesitate to write to me in private messages and offer your price. I think we'll come to an agreement.

Scott’s SS is such a fun read. I’ve been looking for a not so overpriced copy for ages.

Yes, excellent reading, I recently read it myself. I was lucky, and considering that in my country the prices for this book started at $ 150, I managed to get it for just 85. That's at the pre-order price, hehe. True, the book is just a little shabby.

Good buyer. I am glad that we agreed on the price and he quickly sent the payment.
Thanks, man, you helped me out. This money will be used for a good cause.

Or...

What I will consider for an trade:

PR action and detective comics 40's
High grade nonkey silver age marvel
Iron-Man #55 1.8 or lower, but with a surcharge (if there is Starlin's signature, then I will accept it in the state 0.5)
Amazing Spider-Man #300 low grade
Amazing Spider-Man #121 low grade
Restored or qualified marvel key silver age

And my Daredevil # 1 is back from CGC. While the CGC was evaluating it, the book has grown tremendously in value. Hopefully "cover detached" won't interfere with the sale

Daredevil # 1 is back from the CGC. Thanks to everyone who insisted on sending. True, CGC tore the cover in two, but I don't know if this could have been avoided when evaluating, because the cover was already barely holding

I urgently need to sell this comic, so I will consider any price. Feel free to write me messages

Sweet! I've been following my own package....and the tracking showed it arriving in NY yesterday. I'm still waiting to get it the rest of the way to MI...

And, if it shows up without candy, I'm going to cry myself to sleep. 

 

Sorry, but the candy didn't fit in the box. But I hope FF # 67 brings you just as much joy.

So that you know:
I feel very embarrassed about the broken case. I admit that this is my fault, for I packed this package badly. But since then I have bought more packaging and I hope this will not happen again. I promise that if your book gets damaged, I will pay for a replacement.
