Journey Into Mystery #99 CGC 8.0 - Origin and first appearance of Mister Hyde and first full Surtur appearance. The area at the top of the book that looks like a chip is just some of the overhang folded back...it's not a chip. Asking $225 $200 Back cover scan:

Hey Ben!

How about these? #11 - First Stranger (could come into play if any celestial themes are covered in the movies) #19 - First Mimic (was he ever relevant though? ) #39 - First new costumes #49 - First Lorna Dane (Polaris)

Bought a nice FF #18 from Tracee...it was securely packed and shipped very quickly! Thanks!

Thanks @Kevin76!

@Yorick, thanks for the response! There does not appear to be any discoloration or staining (I would expect to see something on the inside of the front cover if this were the case), and the cover gloss appears to be consistent on the bubble.

Hey everyone, I just scanned through this thread before asking my question...some great information in here! I have a copy of Atom #9 that has a bubble in the "A" of the logo, and there's no evidence of this defect when I look on the inside of the front cover...could this be another example of blistering? Thanks!

via PM...thanks!

Awesome reports, as usual...look like some really fun shows. Thanks for sharing!

Good idea, @SBRobin! I'll ask him if he wants to do this...the book is currently slabbed, so hopefully he has a scanner that can do it justice.

Thanks for the response, @Tony S! I shared this info with my friend... He'll be submitting all Silver Age books within the same value tier, so he fortunately won't have to worry about separate invoices...

Hey everyone, I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this question, but it falls under "grading" so I thought I'd try here... I have a friend who submitted a bunch of books to CGC for the first time last year, and he's thinking about resubmitting one of them for regrading (he thinks it should have graded higher, and there was nothing major in the graders notes to make him think otherwise). My question is this...he doesn't feel comfortable cracking the book out of the slab himself, and was wondering if he could just resubmit the slabbed book to CGC? He'll be submitting the slabbed book with some other books that will be bagged and boarded, and is not sure if submitting books in mixed "formats" (one slabbed and the rest bagged and boarded) will impact anything. Thanks! Art

It's very surprising that the Avengers #6 in CGC 7.5 just sold for $851 on ComicLink...is this book heating up again?

Great survey! As a run collector, the biggest change I've noticed as people focus more on keys is at smaller, one-day shows, where space is limited and dealers have to be selective with the inventory they can bring...

What a great video...thanks for sharing!

The timing of this topic is quite interesting, as I finally found a higher-grade raw copy of Brave and the Bold #60 with a rock-solid centerfold a few weeks ago, and had this exact discussion with the dealer who sold it to me...he was commenting on how difficult it was to find a copy that was 1) higher grade and 2) free of centerfold issues. It took me quite a while to find a nicer copy that didn't have either a partially detached centerfold or a centerfold that was on its way to being detached...even higher grade copies of this book seemed to have this issue. The dealer and I also discussed how a lot of copies of Hawkman #1 seem to have a partially detached cover... @boomtown, good luck with your hunt for copies of Brave and the Bold #60 that don't have centerfold issues!

That is very cool!

I was first going to vote for Iron Man #1 or FF #48, but decided on the 7.0 Spidey #50...

When I first collected comics as a kid in the late 70s, I got into Hawkman because of the awesome artwork and science-themed stories, and completed a low-grade run of #1-27... When I got back into collecting Silver Age comics in 2000 I decided to collect the Brave and the Bold and Mystery in Space Hawkman issues, along with Hawkman #1-20 in mid to high grade...I have a few books to go, but at least have a Hawkman #4 (whew!).

Very cool story...sweet book!

I've never collected fanzines, but recently read Bill Schelly's book about comic fandom and really enjoyed it...it has quite a few images of early fanzine covers and interior art: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/562290/sense-of-wonder-by-bill-schelly/9781623171513/ It's interesting that several (many?) professional comic writers and artists started out in comic fandom...

Fantastic Four #49 for me as well, but I'm trying to put together a run of Fantastic Four #1-60 and do not collect the Silver Surfer title, so I'm somewhat biased...

A sad day indeed...RIP Stan. Thanks for everything you did to make this hobby of ours so enjoyable.
