I'm going to take this as a compliment! I passed the test! Thanks mate

My tears are real for missing out on these beauties! Damn, I'm down here sleeping and you guys are up there frolicking!

Daredevil lot sold per PM. Thank you Doctor, feeling better already!!!

It's all good @thirdgreenham I sometimes get concerned that I haven't paid you and I think 'get him money, now!!!!' but I'd much rather you be the hold up than me be the hold up! I reckon we've all got plenty to read in our boxes! no stress here

#198 at $6 please

Drat! Missed the ASM#108!!! Any more ASM or Cap coming up?? 🙏

I'll take #193 for $25, thank you Andy!

I’ll add my to the heaps of positive references: Ezra is great to deal with: high quality books, well packaged, shipped very quickly and always willing to hunt through his collection for a couple other books to bundle up in a sale. highly recommended

Thank you!!!

446th: Iron Fist #10: The later half of the 15 issue series is really good; Claremont & Byrne working together. I like the opening splash- it's 5 years earlier than their iconic X-Men Days of Future Past cover...spotlight, papers, hunter protagonist. Nice to see the theme evolve. 450th: Marvel team up #2: Another cool splash, the pier and heartbroken character being consoled by Nathaniel, a drinker at the local pub...great here...but very funny when they do it again in issue #13 just swap over Torch for a post-Gwen Peter!

Thank you Doctor!

423rd for the year: Love the Mick Zeck run of Captain America that I've been slowly completing, as an Aussie I never thought I'd cope with what I imagined was going to be corny patriotism of CA but it's a more substantial read than that. Loved Byrne & Stern's 9 issue run and the JDM/Zeck/Beatty stuff is great. This one made me smile; there is this cool little event in the Marvel universe where Doc Oc looses a tentacle - the whole event spans over multiple titles - ASM, Spectacular, Daredevil and now Cap. Very good fun. the whole book put a smile on my face!

I'll take it, per DM. thank you!

Would love to see grading notes...that is a gorgeous 6.5!!!! 😍

yes there is a premium on high grade books however the market is smaller...so it can be hit and miss, I'm obviously not an expert as I'm always surprised at what books of mine sell and what gets ignored...surprisingly enough I have mid grade X-Men 95-100 that no one is interested in, too much money for the folks who want to just read, not high enough for the connoisseurs 🤷‍♂️ I buy books from a few Canucks, you're a bunch of good eggs up there mate!

Sounds like WhatNot, oh the drek that gets sold on there - huge percentage of the market are uneducated and don't seem to either understand grades or care. They literally pay 9.0 prices for 6.0 books. I see people regularly pay 20% above retail on WhatNot for the exact book that the seller has listed on their internet site. It's all very strange. I also agree on the international market comments; I'm down in Australia and the stock of high quality books is (and always has been) fairly thin, if you want your high grades then we're bringing them in. I'm not thinking it's a huge percentage, but yes, there is definitely good books leaving the US to be circulated in overseas markets

Completely agree...that is a fine looking 6.5!!! Do you have the graders notes?

This thread could have it's own movie: the suspense of watching @Funny Books waiting with the e-cheque, well that was edge of the seat stuff! Stephen King could learn a thing or too....and the box scene!!! The box scene with @BuscemasAvengers - I'm putting it as 2nd best box scene behind Seven...I was screaming at the screen 'what's in the box Tim!!!!! What's in the box!!!!' This was an amazing ride, I think I need to lie down now! Seriously though, condolences to both gentlemen, comic buying is meant to be a source of joy and pleasure...it's not meant to steal hours and days and weeks of your life and inject stress and brooding. Those books will be forever stained with the awful experience you both suffered.

I bought a dozen books From Dale via his website, really well graded and a flawless transaction. Thank you!

I also think the other key to his scamming success, and IMO there is a kind of cleverness to it, is that alongside the big books (like the Hulk#181 NM+ he has for sale now) are the mass of smaller books constantly being sold. By selling a large number of small, non-key, raw books at fair grading assessment he has amassed a sterling reputation on eBay (100% at 10,000 feedback), this reputation gives buyers faith when purchasing those big dollar keys. It's devilishly clever. He's using a mass of decent small books sold correctly to lure in the big fish.

I have his signature (in texta) on an X-Men 97 cover...it looked a lot more complex on the end. Thank you! I'll tack that as a win!!!

Hi folks, figured this was a lovely way to read GSX1 with the lovely colour palette as I'm not a big fan of those super bright TPB colours, opened her up and I have 3 sigs (in my favorite spot) Art Adams, John Bolton...and I really don't know!!! I've only seen Glynis Weins signature from many decades ago, would this be hers after her and Len divorced or am I right off the path? I would be so proud to have her sig, what a legend!!! Her list of issues is simply amazing!!! Thank you in advance

at least wait until after the movie, historically books build on movie releases, especially after the ad/short/preview is released and then they drop after the movie *of course this is based on a lot of Sony X-men/Spider & DC releases, that were varied in quality...when Disney/MCU release something it could change the whole mindset, it may further energize the market (the way Marvel do with the easter eggs at the end) Put it this way, I have 9.6/9.8 raws of #300 and #316, I'm getting them to CGC in 2 weeks in order to sell. It's a sellers market

This right here. 100%. I watch a few youtubers and not a single one mentions writer, artist OR plot. Purely First Appearance (fap). One guy listed his 3 specs (2 FF's and a Cap America) and when I mentioned they were all drawn by John Byrne he didn't know who that was...trading CGC 9.8's like oversized baseball cards is where we're at presently. However...(this is where I turn positive) The pure focus on FAPS means that as long as you avoid those issues you can still buy a lot of good reading material cheaply, just don't try and complete the run....yet!
