I assumed this book that you bought before it was stolen.

That's the one

These are the two issues that launched my lifelong passion for comics.  

I have about 70% of the original art from X-Men #172, including the cover.  I also have a number of pages from X-Men #173, including these two.  The art from these two issues are my favorite things in my collection and they will never be sold in my lifetime:

I actually used to own the splash page from the first Silver Samurai appearance in Daredevil as well, but, without a strong nostalgic connection to it, I ended up selling it.  

I've seen you OA on Comic Art Fans and I am super jealous! Such a great fight scene. Funny enough, I also used to own page 10 from Daredevil 111, the page where the animals attack Silver Samurai. And I sold it for the exact same reason you did. 

As silver linings go, this one is ok. I bought the 9.4 on eBay for $550 best offer, which means I am about $950 into this book (ugh) but just got it and I think it could press to a 9.8. Might as well go all in now

So The Silver Samurai debuted in July of 1974 in Daredevil 111. What is neat is that then in November of 1974, Daredevil 115 came out with the first ad page of Incredible Hulk 181. And in that very same ad page is the letters to the editor of people discussing how much they loved Daredevil 111. That same month, Incredible Hulk 181 came out. 
 

Fast forward 11 years later and X-Men 173 comes out with, arguably, one of the best fight scenes of Wolverine ever drawn. And who is he fighting? Yup, The Silver Samurai! I’ve got the slabs and pictures to prove it

they call you "funny man!", I paraphrased, that line was from the boondock saints movie...  @justin so I posted a pic of me with the boondock  saints 

Awesome! That is very cool!

it royally sucks. That book, in that grade with that single well placed signature was to complete my collection. I only have a small, well selected, collection of 16 slabs. I've no room (or funds) for any more. But now my chance of getting another 9.2 Wolverine 145 signed by Bill, at the price I paid, is super slim. I can't afford the $700 9.4 on ebay right now, paid half that for the 9.2. There are effectively only 7 other similar copies out there.  Just feeling so low right now. Glad you all understand

Due to the corona virus my apartment complex (located in Rockville, MD) thought it was a good idea to start delivering packages right to our door so we won't have to go to the main office. well some individual_without_enough_empathy stole one of my packages from my front door while I was out. So if you see a Wolverine 145 Nabisco CGC 9.2 SS signed by Bill Sienkiewicz on 6/16/19  2502906001 for sale, it is stolen. I have filed a police report. please let me know if you see it. Thank you.

New club member! I bought this raw and had pressed and cleaned. The thought of getting a incredible return in my investment keeps playing with my mind though! I have thoughts of selling, but afraid I will have immediate sellers regret! 

Sell it, get a 9.0 with perfect centering and alignment and pocket the difference is what I would do. 

Fingers crossed but if all goes well I will be getting the only CGC 9.8 SS Marvel Super Special 22 signed by Jim Steranko on 2/22/20 :). Rich Henn’s gettin’ it done!

Here is my color guide. The “in your face hawk” part is a taped on stat. Colors looks like they were done in a nice marker.

The 5th copy I’ve ever owned but the first SS of the book I’ve ever owned.

Seems like the Modern Age has been around for 30 years. Is there another age coming? Will it always be modern from here on? Thoughts?

😁

Anyone have issue #17 graded? I’ve been wanting to see one in 9.8 for forever. It’s my favorite cover. I actually own the color guide to it 😁

And it’s took! Sale closed

Hello, I am selling my ASM 300 CGC 9.8 white pages! SOLD

The centering is near perfect, the print on the red “300”’s is rich and excellent (sometimes the red 300’s have a rough faded look). The right edge of the book is straight and clean (some books had a printing error where the right edge of the cover would be jagged). There are no color breaking stress marks either. Why this is not a 9.9, I have no idea. Take a look! I will have a scan of the back tomorrow.

Paypal preferred. USPS priority shipping, fully insured. First *takeit wins. No refunds.

Ok, I super don’t want this to go to eBay. Last reduction in price

Last price reduction before it goes to eBay 

Bump
