  1. The funny thing is Avengers Annual 10 is always tough to find at pretty much any Con I go to. I see dozens of copies of books like X-Men 266 or Spiderman 194 but for some reason there appears to only be a couple in the whole room. Higher grade copies are fetching $100 so it's definitely a wall book but I've actually had dealers at my local con send customers my way (even though I'm not set up) since they couldn't find any in the room. The funny thing is when you showed/announced your 400 copies I immediately thought of ditching my 9.8s I got slabbed from that show. I thought you were gonna glut the market.
  2. What was the deal with the Brooklyn warehouse? Were the books undistributed copies? If so, I'd call it a warehouse find. A bad warehouse find though.
  3. I went to a show in Detroit in 1985 and Sparkle City had a big stack of them raw, face up on the table for seventy five cents each. I was at a show at a movie theatre lobby (!) in Pennsylvania around 2013 that had a stack of 100 of them for $5 each.
  4. Was that a warehouse find or part of a single unopened case?
  5. Thanks. That thread kinda went sideways quick. From that thread, I am adding Captain Marvel Adventures 50 Captain Marvel Adventures 51 Green Lama 7 Yellowjacket 70 True Life Secrets #23
  6. Unsure how accurate this list is. Are there any books that should be added or deleted from it?

  7. BTW, @815K1 You're posting in the "Polls" section.
  8. CGC would not encapsulate this book when I submitted it years ago.
  9. I sent my grades in two hours ago and they haven't been marked as recorded!
  10. Are they scans or photos? I will have to ask. I believe I was told they were imaged. They look like photos because of the glare on the spines. Last I knew, CGC takes photos of books when people choose to get images before the books ship.
  11. I'm going to say it's too late to ask either party.
  12. Yes. Very sorry to hear about this. He was a really good guy.
  13. A list of the books: https://www.abaa.org/images/blog_parts/11535/Ervin_Collection_Theft (1).pdf
  14. Did you try to open them in MS Paint (or whatever) and resave them as JPEGs?
