If I started a Golden age $1 box finds thread it would have one post.

Actually, I am going to start that in gold. There might be a few here and there..

Invincible ended. It was my favorite monthly book. I'm hoping Kirkman brings it back at some point, but I doubt it will ever have a lengthy run again (especially with Ottley doing the art).

It ended. I'm still kind of sad about it. 

Archie #1. 

Are you saying you have a Sandman Kieth page and want to trade for a MCP page with Wolverine?

Thanks! 

I read the thread. I'm a little surprised there weren't more posted...

Also, most were black and white, and not all that detailed. 

I actually do feel lucky getting this one out of a dollar box even though I'm not at all familiar with the character. Maybe this is the cosmos's way of pulling me into new Valiant...

I also pulled an Archie #1 (coverless) out of the same booth for one american dollar. I posted about it in the Golden Age forum for anyone interested in seeing how clueless I was to what I'd found.

The Grand Comic Book Database is your friend! Sure you can figure it out there.

The guys (and gals) in this thread are my friends, robot! Take your talk of databases and widgets and the matrix somewhere else!

Looks a whole lot like the splash to Archie 1...

You should count the pages, but the page shown is the first wrap. Pages 1 and 2 are the cover. There should be 60 pages without the cover.

Nice find!,

I did a count. it's missing a few wraps towards the middle, but thanks for pointing out the splash. I just saw that 3 on the page and assumed that wasn't the first page page. 

Holy cow!

Thanks so much for the reply!

I had no idea, but I figured it was early. 

I for one really like the variant for #1 because of it fitting in the theme of the hoax that went on with the original marketing of the character. This one will be the one that jumps the most if anything ever comes of the Sentry media wise. I'd assume it's rarer than the SDCC. The regular #1 is fairly easy to find, but like others have mentioned, it's a black cover that's known for having visible spine ticks. 

I'd go with the variant in 9.8 at current prices if the regular is selling for more. It won't stay that way. 

I was all over the original Valiant universe from the beginning, but I haven't kept up much with the new Valiant. I've been meaning to. This might be my best bet.

Also, over the weekend I bought an X-O #50 out of a dollar box, opened it up, and there was a sketch inside...

Anyone know how rare these are? There's hardly any info on Ebay that I can find, or a thread dedicated to these. If there is I would love to see it..

I found an Avengers as well later at the show. Again solo, and again one of the first couple of boxes I looked in. I'd take a pic, but not sure which box it's in and I've yet to unpack. 

You'll get more traction for this posting in the OA section....

 I never read chromium man but I’m a big fan of Adam Pollina. His later run on X force was spectacular  

Looooved the X-force run. I met him only the one time a few years back, and he was about as chill as you could possibly imagine. 

Also, yeah, you're right. They are under the images. Thanks again--

Thanks! I actually just went on the site without going to the FM page, and they're listed there for some reason, but not on the FM linked page.

The chromium man or “ colossus finds love under a tree”

I'm going to say it. I was a fan of Chromium Man as a teen. 

I dug the art mostly. I even bought the cover for #1 from Adam Pollina a few years back. He was shocked that I even remembered the book and barely charged me anything for it. It proudly hangs in my office. 

I expect that not one person is going to say "me too!". 

If anyone reading this would like to prove me wrong, feel free to pm me to avoid any public ridicule.

Yes it is. It has volatility though. Wonder if the UPC edition 9.8s carry a premium for 301? GPA doesn't distinguish far as I know

I meant the people who saw it on the news that have no idea that 9.8 is tough on that book, or even realize it's CGC'd  that think that their VF copy is worth $1400. 

I'm aware of how tough that one is in 9.8. I've probably gotten about a dozen 9.6's over the years. I always try if they're close. 

"ERMAGERD, I HAVE THAT BOOK, AND IT'S DEFINITELY WORTH $1400!!!" -- everyone who watched that on the news that has an 80's/90's comic collection and has a $10-$20 copy of that book. 

POW! ZAM! SWISH! ZOINK!

And then there was art... I love the cover to Weird Science 16 and while I will never own that cover, for some reason this page gave me the same vibe.  I would have gone higher on it actually because of that... and it also helped that I really liked Wheeljack as a kid.

Whoops. Quoted the wrong post. I consigned this. Glad you got it!

Aw man, congrats! I was runner up on it, apparently. Had to make myself drop out but I think you still got a good deal on it!

As for me, I struck out on everything. There wasn't much I was super interested in, and the "cheap" stuff I was interested in just got a hair beyond what I wanted to pay. Too much of a tight wad last night, apparently. Oh well.

That was one that I consigned! Glad it went to a good home.

The guys on here who make people who make mistakes feel like dogsh!t. Theres people on here who are arrogant as hell and talk to people like they are above them.  Newsflash,  we all started somewhere.  We all had questions even if dumb.  So take it easy and actually help someone without the attuitude. Youre no better than anyone else. 

I sincerely can't find an example of this in this thread.
