Yeah I saw the label for that when looking at what they had and that one and 72s label I liked  I’d probably get 72s label on 55

For my collection it’s mixed for some I only collect a certain artist or writer but others can be long runs for marvel I collect avengers 1-200. For Spider-Man I collect only Asm at the moment between 1-600 I mainly focus on the 200-600 because of prices pre 200. I pick up any TTA Antman comics when I find them or the pre Ant man. But my main focuses are getting the Miller Daredevil run Byrne and Claremont Xmen and the Avengers  1-200 and Asm 1-600 and Fantastic Four 1-100 and any Silver surfer appearance up till the 2 part limited series plus any Neil Adams marvel or dc comics so still got a bit of work before completion

I bought a Clone Wars #1 (~VFNM) for a dollar at a used book store a few years ago. When it started to blow up, a few folks here were saying it was a flash-in-the-pan will drop like a turd in a month book. I sold it for $200. I was happy. I was even happier when the buyer wanted to cancel the sale. Now I'm even more happy to still have it.

Good find on the clone wars 1 I got mine from a trade from the local comic store the amount I traded was nothing but because it had one book he wanted he gave me 20 trade and I managed to get clone wars 1-8 and hulk 271 all before it got ridiculous prices for them i nearly sold my 1 for 250 but decided not to take the offer glad I kept hold of it 

I just picked this up with a few other things I always liked ghostbusters and thought plasma series was good do thought why not get a figure or two and saw this so decided get one and see if I like it not to bad and it’s cool how they packaged the figures. Ps sorry about the image quality that’s what happens when you have to use a phone it’s awful for taking photos

ok, so you paid $105 for a mid-grade in a world that probably didn't know what it was worth, although maybe $100 was a bout right for a mid-grade one a few years ago. i bought a nice X-Men 266 for 50 cents at a flee market. Immediately sold it for $75-100. That didn't make x-men 266 a 50 cent book. 

I completely agree with you that Tomb of Dracula wasn’t a 105 book at that point then again I can say the same about a lot of keys I’ve bought over the years whether that’s overpaid  or underpaid for them one thing you learn is just because you bought that book for that doesn’t mean that’s the market price 

In all honesty I really liked the cover for TOD 10 sort of making me want to get another copy but still looking for that Luke cage 1 then again I never understood what was with the goggles 

So a question for any uk price variant experts or anyone who knows this answer was Luke Cage Hero For Hire 1 distributed with a pence variant because I’ve looked for one for years and have yet to be able to find one 

This one isn’t in to bad of grade still looking for a high grade 129 one of my favourite xmen comics but nothing was trying to find a pence one in good condition but there nearly impossible 

Well I started the thread and haven’t contributed any books yet so I’ll start now

how wrecked was your copy? i've wanted a decent copy for a while. i never saw anything remotely affordable recently/

It wasn’t  the worst copy probably a 5 to 6 luckily the guy I bought it of runs a antique shop and he found it in a suitcase he’d bought 20 year’s ago and had recently just found it so he offered me it for 105 with a couple of readers thrown in 

Now that’s an awesome comic to own in any grade and a pence variant as well

Very nice collection of books bc and all in good grades and nice presenting covers 6 is my favourite cover out of the horror tales of suspense run

I’ll go and stock up on a 1000 Youngblood 1s in 9.9 I’m sure they’ll do a movie someday

That's a shockingly bad set of decisions based on what you have just written.

A 9.4 TOD #10 for $700  (1/3 of $2100) - and you passed?

I find that pretty hard to believe tbh.

2017 lowest 9.4 was $1033

2018 lowest 9.4 was $1076

 

I have no idea why you would leave an easy 35% profit on the table?

Any reason?

If where all meant to of had that much of a ability to predict the market I would of bought 50 west coast avengers in grade 9.8 and buy a daredevil 1 from the profits then again you can never predict what will be worth something in a year’s time just look at Darth Vader 3

In my opinion on this debate I completely agree that tomb of Dracula 10 has became a more sort after book I paid only 105 for my copy just over a year ago and managed to get 400 from it 6 months later from a friend so I can agree with it being a book what’s slowly starting to rise

I was very lucky to get the trilogy issues just before the price explosion. I paid 150 each for them, all in the past few years. I also paid 150 for the double cover which may have been a bit of an overpayment.

That was a steal on them all I was lucky enough to get my 49 for 50 and150 isn’t that bad on what I deem as a key with a double cover 

Very true terry Austin was a vital part of bringing one of the best runs if not the best run of xmen to life

Scarlet Witch DOES look great on that cover. When it's a $3 book again I might buy a copy or three 

Should be hopefully dropping soon in price always loved the Byrne cover then again I was always biased cause his brilliant xmen run with Claremont

Here are my Galactus Trilogy issues plus the only double cover in my collection.

Full disclosure; my 48 is a deslabbed purple label 5.0.

Nice set of the galactus trilogy and definitely a cool double cover always think it’s cool to have double covers definitely one’s from the silver age.

Another book I don’t understand going up so much is avengers 186 I traded for a stack of comics with it in and reality it’s only worth $3 at most in my opinion it’s a good story but not the first of a major villain but because one guy had a stupid theory let’s all go rush out to pay ridiculous prices for it I mean where’s the logic why not post a video and just say the Great Lake avengers are going to be next in the mcu 

Honestly I don’t blame you for wanting to get rid of it it’s awful 

I do like the labels but I think would of been nice if we could of got only one pre horror and then a war label and then a label for golden age heroes just so the was more options considering in my opinion we only have few label choices now and not many are that good
