Guys, I used to laugh at PG books, and Incomplete books, but I suddenly have a responsibility I am not prepared for. Please, help the future of this sad but historic piece of our past. I need guidance, honestly. I’m not going to pretend to be King of the Hill. I love comics but this is beyond experience. Please, if one of the really experienced admins or someone with a solid past with this type of book. Check my stats, I’m not brand new, and I participate, but not in this sandbox. . Any practical advice will be greatly appreciated. I’m talking storage, condition issues (it pleasantly smells of maple syrup, which is what seems to have spilled on it), should they be split, submitted, etc.
Thanks in advance.

One of my favorite things about this is the fact that they had to mark it down to eight cents to move it off the shelf!

I purchased a lot yesterday. I was told that there was a page from Cap America 1 included in a folder, thrown in because it wasn’t “worth much”.
I was excited to have a piece of history, but imagine the look on my face when I pulled this out from between a few pages of CA 1!

I hope you didn't leave The Beast of Koba Bay behind?
Certainly not!
I’ve been working at buying this collection for over a year. Someone beat me there though - the ASM 129 and 238 were already gone.
The fellow these (mostly currently) belong too has mentioned to me that he didn’t buy them in a day, so he won’t sell them in a day. Makes sense.
He is a little slow with pricing things - usually I go through a section, pull the issues I really want, and leave them til next time to take home, giving him time to price them out. It’s a strange and unsettling feeling.
The Beast of Koba Bay is still at his house, hopefully coming home with me in a few weeks, with about 150 other choice books. -
I’m pretty familiar with most series, but westerns and war never caught my attention. There are plenty of Jonah Hex in there - any suggestions on keys to grab?

Some of the highlights of books picked up today from a local guy, some pretty decent stuff at a really decent price. These from a “collection” as shown in the last photo. It’s a hoot to be the first to dig through these. Check that MS Cap Marvel variant!

Clean that beauty up, give ‘er a press, I’m thinking 6.5 easily.

So dirty secrets eh? It may be time to get this one off of my chest.
I had a decent collection going in the early nineties, and of course read all the issues I owned. One evening I decided to pull out my really nice copy of ASM 300. It was already a “big book” back then - it was thirty whole dollars!The story seemed to be off, kinda didn’t make sense. I usually had no problem following a storyline. I suddenly convinced myself that it was a defective book, or wrongly hailed as a big deal, and decided to purge it from my collection. Ripped it straight in half.
The next day, I remembered what had happened, and realized that my blood sugar had been really low, and comprehension flies out the window sometimes….

I’m thinking you’re around a 7.0 as is, with a clean and press (which would help with that white left edge to get centered), you’re probably headed to 8.0-8.5 territory. Nice score!

I guess I’ll be the bad guy and propose closer to a 5.5-6.0 range.

This is the only ten center I have that’s an actual super hero book. Picked it up earlier today and have a whole new level of appreciation for the earlier days. 1947!

Just brought these (and a few others in the low 200’s) for way under market value. I didn’t expect to find so many Bat-Keys in one stack!

I've already talked to CGC, they said both should be green.
Even though the blue label was done months ago, they said they'd reholder as green for free
Yeah, that’s kinda what I feel should be the case. I sure as heck wouldn’t trade out for a green all things considered.

I've bought some blue labels that didn't have the stamp, and I've submitted two that had a sticker not a stamp, one came back blue and one green
Were they submitted at the same time?

Hey gang, I came across this book while moving some stuff around, I forgot that I had it frankly. Are there other examples of a stamped FCBD NN issue with blue labels? It’s kinda cool if you ask me.

Just added these two to my collection. They’re dirty right now, but I’ll get ‘em looking proper before the week is through. I have wanted an Avengers 57 for a long time, it’s good to get one for the wall.

I’ll give it a go!
