TAKE

Take the Chamber of Chills cover and the Weird Mysteries cover via PM!

Hey all!  Just picked this up recently.  I couldn't find any info or comparables on it.  It looks like there's a Spidey 1 silver edition as well behind the gold one.  The packaging has a few small rips and tears, but overall the condition isn't bad and it's definitely still sealed.  Can anybody help my identify what exactly this is, and also how much it might be worth?  I know the repackaged Walmart and Target 3-packs can be worth something, is this similar?  Any help would be appreciated!
Apologies for the messy background, the packaging is pretty reflective and it was tough to get a glare free pic!

take flash 113 and amazing spiderman 210 per pm.  Thanks!

Take GL 59 pending a scan if that's allowed.

Steve Mannion has done art work for a bunch of publishers, including a little bit with both DC and Marvel. He's probably best known for Fearless Dawn, which has been published in a couple different places. He's got something of a following in the current world of creator-owned indies. Heck, there's even a Fearless Dawn Meets Hellboy crossover book co-written by Mannion and Mignola and put out by Albatross Funnybooks.

Some of his books are also sort of a pain to identify. Atom Bomb Comics is his self-publication imprint (as opposed to the bulk of the Fearless Dawn stuff that went through Asylum, or random books at other publishers). I believe he uses POD publisher IndyPlanet for all of those. However, he does appear to play use of a POD printer straight as far as production quantities go. There's an initial fixed-volume print run, and then open-ended POD reprint availability. The reprints, therefore, will probably always be valueless. The first runs are ... well, I actually have literally zero idea what the market interest is in his work, to be honest.

As for The Bomb #1-4, if you have a cover price of $2.95 or $2.99 (it varies by issue), that's a first-run. If the cover price is $4.99 or $5.00, that's the open-ended POD reprint. I don't think the Swimsuit book was even offered up for reprint availability. I can't see cover prices in your photo, but I assume these aren't reprints.

That sketchbook is another thing entirely. So, Mannion puts out these sketchbooks periodically. Asylum Press put out his sketchbooks in 2012, 2013, and 2014. I don't know for certain whether the one you have was actually put out in 2007, or if that's just the date on the cover art, but it's definitely rarer that the 2012-2014 books. Again, no established sales that I can find (I know there's a copy in France that's been offered for sale for about $40), but if you run across big fans of Mannion, this is definitely one of his more elusive pieces.

Thanks you very much for the info, that's exactly what I was looking for.  All of the prices would indicate based on that they are 1st prints, (1--2.95, 2--2.99, 3--2.99, 4--2.95, Swimsuit--5.00)

These definitely are interesting, especially the part about the sketchbook.  My guess was the sketchbook was in the range of about 50, but I truly have no idea what the other four issues are worth.  Does anyone have any idea as to their value?

Hey ya’ll, I’m mostly a golden age guy, but I recently picked up a collection that had these tucked away in it. It has issues 1-4 (doubles of issue 4), the swimsuit special, and a Steve Mannion Sketchbook labeled number 1 dated 2007. 
 

here’s the mycomicshop link on these books, some of the only info I’ve found.

Could someone help me out with what I’ve got here?  Given how many people have added these to their want list in the last 6 months on MCS I’m guessing I’ve got something cool. Any info would help!

Thanks in advance!

No pre-Batman Tecs (thank god). Wonder what the Planet 1 7.0 is gonna go for?  
 

This is the one I'm eyeing the closest too...  Certainly above 20k, could it crack 30?

You have to click on "buy" then "comics" and then at the bottom there's a box to check for "sold".

Some of the prices were decent deals, but most looked really really strong, especially on the headliners.

Wow.  Superman 1 3.0 for $720k.  That's incredible.  Is it record breaking?

Take Tec 161 and Boy comics 14 per PM

All-American Comics 62

Tape along spine inside cover,  narrow strip missing upper spine (probably silverfish), small tear upper LH BC. 
Smal tear  LH edge BC, bit of spine roll, general wear. Upper staple rusty with a whiff of migration. Tight with white pages.
With all that said, it still looks mighty good in a new Mylar,  it displays very nicely. 

Yours for $100

Take

Just did a great deal on a pair of covers from Bob. Communication was exemplary, shipping was speedy and bomb proof, product was accurately described!

Highly recommend

It may appear that way, but in actuality Heritage is just about to lap CC... again.

We'll see about 2 million, everyone else is calling it, but I personally would have a hard time eating that high a price on a 6.0 so soon after the aforementioned 8.5.

I say this even thinking about the spine/staple issues on the 6.0 rocket copy. 

I think people will be bidding on this 6.0 as if it's "better" than a 6.0 because of the presentation.  I think the 8.5 clearly had a big boon in the rusty staples that scared alot of buyers.  

Example.  I wonder how many serious collectors with deep pockets actively seeking an action 1 would have pulled the trigger at 2.5mil on the 8.5.  That's quite a discount from the sale price, but I bet quite a few would have been scared off.  Whereas I wonder how many serious bidders will be looking back at this 6.0 in a few months and whatever it hammers for and be thrilled to pay 70% of the hammer price.
