    Kudos to MikeS for the Dark Knight Archives. He refunded some money when the book arrived with a little damage (even after I told him it wasn't necessary). Thanks Mike - let's do another deal soon! 893applaud-thumb.gif

    Kudos to MikeS for the hellbot lot. yay.gif but about 1/2 got corner damage in the shipping process frown.gif

     

    Ah, *spoon*. Glad to hear that the PO is moving things quickly during the holidays, but I guess there's a downside to all those extra newbie "casual" employees.

     

    Just out of curiosity, was it a Global Priority Mail box or envelope? I can't remember. In either case, please PM me, and we'll work it out.

     

    Also, the MikeS referenced in that earlier post (re: Dark Knight Archives) isn't me.

     

    Best,

    So if a DC 100 pager suddenly becomes worth what a Hulk 181 is, there would eventually be 122 CGC 9.6 or above (current Hulk 181 census) copies of that issue?

     

    Impossible to say for sure. But my guess is that, in general, if demand increased substantially due to a massive (and unlikely) spike in prices, then, yeah, more high grade copies of these books could possibly emerge from personal collections.

     

    But which DC 100-pager, exactly, will EVER approach Hulk 181 in terms of overall collector demand? The only one that comes close is probably this one...

     

    DC SS #5

     

    ...a book which, while obviously in shorter supply (in all grades) than Hulk 181, also has a much more limited overall appeal than the first appearance of Wolverine. And I really don't think that's likely to change. Do you?

    I put my collection of these together back in the pre-internet early '90s, and was able to find most of 'em in higher grades (or really sharp mid-grades) for next to nothing. I bought a big chunk of the romance issues from Mile High (in VF/NM) for around $8 each, which seemed like a lot for (ugh!) romance comics back then. I think CBM or one of the fan mags also did an article on them in the mid-'90s (w/checklist), which probably increased their visibility somewhat, and put more people on the trail. So are they less common now than they were back then? Yeah, probably. But I agree with Greggy and Shep: they ARE out there...

    Kudos to:

     

    mikeyrsmith - I wish I could say I was disappointed and my disappointment would detract anyone else from ever purchasing from Mike again (so I could sneak in and get all his great deals) - but won't be that selfish. Don't miss out on Mike's awesome deals on modern lots. The quality of the books is fantastic with equally amazing prices. Tight packaging delivered quickly as well. thumbsup2.gif
