Ebel 1911

I just got this in the last comiclink auction, first new Golden Age issue in a while and it's pretty good looking for the grade:

I had this years ago but it disappeared at some point. The price was too good not to get in the last C-Link auction and I love the cover:

Got this in the last C-Link auction. I always liked this cover:

This story is one of the first ones I ever read, though I read the reprint that came in Marvel Tales some years later. Nostalgia made me buy it in the last Comiclink auction:

Would you consider it a good idea to SS a 129 by Romita? Im in the process of reslabbing my copy and Im considering having it signed first.... Thoughts?

 

You need to be careful. Many people are leery of signed copies and there's no guarantee it will sell at the price you want. As it is, ASM #129 isn't the best long-term Bronze investment as prices are dropping. First and foremost it is IH #181 and then GS-X #1. Prices hold on these two gems, so perhaps sell your copy and upgrade to one of these?

 

Do not SS it. A lot of people like me will not buy SS books, shrinking the buying pool. There is no shortage of SS books out there, so your book would not be any more special than it is.

 

The Punisher has long-lasting appeal, especially if the upcoming series can draw even more interest in the character. Keep it.

 

IF it's a 9.8 W...

I don't know. I thought of getting my 9.8 copy signed but in the end decided 1 it wasn't worth the risk. 2 Even though I have a lot of SS books, I kind of like having my bigger books in the pure form.

 

Also I've noticed on this book while sometimes on on ASM129 sigs will go for more. Other times they go for less in the same grade if you follow the sales for a while

Clearly lots of differing opinions on the subject so I'd say go with what you think you'd like to see everyday. I understand people who don't want the art interrupted by a signature but I also like Sig Series issues, unless the signature obscures a key part of the cover. I always wanted a copy & finally got my ASM 129 a couple years ago largely because it was a double signature with both Stan Lee & Gerry Conway. Since this was one of the many key issues from Romita then I think it be cool with his signature. Good luck with your decision.

Here's my copy:

My turn...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I had these as a kid and loved them!

Bought a new house back in August. Now that im fully moved in, I will begin a major renovation on a comic room. It will take me about a year, but here are the before pictures.

 

 

 

 

Thats just frickin' sweet!

Yeah, very nice! Good luck with the design and execution of your room.

Nice copy of HFH.

Just finished "You Can't Make This Up" by Al Michaels. Good overview of sports broadcasting & many different events over his career.

I have a lot that are not displayed. Not sure about the C with SH from the 70s can you scan the covers?

 

Yes, they are oversized and from 1975 & 1976.

 

I do not have the one on the right! But Christmas is coming!

 

what about these?

I have the 1975 issue, love the Luke Cage & Nick Fury stories.

 

Im in Sarasota for vacation, so Brad and everyone surprised me with a CGC copy of a magazine I'm on the cover of.

 

I'm officially a 9.4

Very Cool!

I always liked the Guardians of the Galaxy but can't even begin to buy Marvel Superheroes 18 because I'd hate to have to look at it:

 

Careful what you say about Gene Colan...!

I like a lot of his work, I just think this was an unfortunate cover.

Too bad Marvel Presents 3 wasn't their first appearance. Much better!

I always liked the Guardians of the Galaxy but can't even begin to buy Marvel Superheroes 18 because I'd hate to have to look at it:

I always hated Black Panther 1.

 

 

What the hell, a frog???

 

 

Yeah, most of the '70s Kirby covers were like that for me too.

Always up for a good podcast, thanks

Impressive 4 sig cover! Extra points for it being all the artists and writer.

These three books arrived today. They complete my Captain Marvel Starlin SS run from #25 - #34.

 

 

Thanks to Rich Henn for doing the leg work for me in Baltimore.

 

 

 

Always loved the cover on #29.

Not sure where to put this, so I'll just put it here.

My new favorite innuendo cover.

 

 

 

Good One!

When did MJ start packing heat (of the gun variety)?

 

 

I don't know, but I'm okay with that.

Wanted. Acquired.

 

Thanks for removing the temptation. I've looked at it many times but never pulled the trigger...

 

And thank you for creating the temptation, Steve. Feel like if I don't buy Pedigree Archie/MLJs now you will have them all.

Nice one!

2 motorcycles plus a monkey & a sidecar! That's very cool!

My copy, which I was fortunate enough to pick up from a most esteemed boardie a few years back. I toy with hunting down the rest of the run, but fear I have procrastinated too long. The white dot at the top is a bit of a mystery, paint?, bleach? who knows, but it doesn't go through the cover..

 

Ectoplasm?

Rom #1 seems to be heating up everywhere.

 

Interesting. Hmmm...

 

It doesn't matter how often I hear this, I still get queasy over Rom.

I got this from the last CLink auction, my first cover:

Here's the comic. I like that the OA shows what's hidden under the frame of the produced comic.
