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

I watch some YouTube “haul” videos to see what younger guys are doing.  And they’re chasing high grade keys in the $100 to $1K range — mostly Copper to Modern.  All spec plays.  None of these videos focuses on the writers or artists or characters.  I doubt they have ever read or page-flipped through a Nova #1 or an ASM # 300 — they’re just flipping plastic.

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!

Yes post a pic of that inside front upper spine area, and the first page.

thank you!

Thank you everyone, think I'll send it for cleaning...

for everyone suspecting moisture damage...would a picture of a page give us further information!

One thing...the guy who was wanting to buy it at a 4.0 grade was probably under-grading me!!!!

Thanks everyone

Hi, I've returned to comic collecting and most of my collection is Bronze/Copper and up around the 7.5-9+ grades. I'm not very good at the lower levels.

I took some books over to a comic dealer, who thought I was selling....so when he told me the grades i wrote them down

It has that wear on the upper left corner. spine looks good, no creases. a few ticks on the spine.

send it for a clean?

I've marked this as my worst comic in my collection

Thank you in advance
