  1. When I look back on 2016, I didn't acquire many trophy pieces so decided to enter only affordable art.

     

    I was shooting for all 5 to be under $500 each and got 4 of 5 with the fifth under $750. All together these 5 pieces cost comfortably under $2K so you can collect this stuff without being totally flush.

     

    I also consider my Lowry entries to ensure they represent my interests as I am always after more art...so if you are considering parting with any art like this please let me know....no Everett, BWS, Jones or Kirby here this year but change that for me in 2017..at well over $500, I know.

  2. It would be nice if there were some statements about pieces that are in the clear...assuming this is about stolen art vs. returned art?

     

    For example, if an entire book was bought from the Kirby's directly are the pages from that book now broken up in the clear?

     

  3. Not to be a party pooper but how would you come up with $1M for 300 mid-grade Silver Age comics?

     

    300 books * $250/each = $75K + 75K for AF15 etc = $150K...and that is all too high

     

    Great books / keys,

     

    I would love to know what spent to get that collection. Just ballpark. I have dreams of finding books like that

     

    If ya gotta ask, it's over your head. I would guess one milllllion dollars...

  4. Hello - love this thread

     

    I haven't found much of anything but do have a Craigslist buy add out so I did look at some books at a guy's storage shed recently - I was not expecting much and was right. I pulled out a ~ 10 books worth perhaps $3 - 5 each and told him the rest were for charity. He essentially then asked for any offer for that small stack so I bought them.

     

    The two 'best' items were

     

    1. A "Marvel Madness" Back Issue fun pack - 4 books shrink wrapped with a light blue sticker than says $2.00 and has a code 6-2-164. I felt this was the best thing he had as the top book was a The Infinity Gauntlet 3 and like the other commons looks like a 9.4.

     

    2. A reading copy of Legends 3

     

    If anyone knows anything much about the "Marvel madness" 4 pack, please reply or PM me

  5. I posted what I had recorded but looks like it was before a more current thread, edited it away from my original post and will update my Excel file - the difference was DD 181 and DD183. I don't have pages from those issues...

  6. I didn't discover Atlas PCH until my Everett original art habit overflowed into Atlas Everett comics - never made it my top priority, except for Venus, but happy I picked some Everett Atlas up when I saw them.

     

    From the Top 10 list published here, I have his Venus books, Menace 5, and Spellbound 17 (beat copy)...watching them more closely now but they are now quite pricey!
