    It's ok for any collector to decide whether to open the book of his/her choice, original or repro. I like the smell of old paper and ink and just the feeling of "being there". I wish I had a low grade AF15 to enjoy. The value of 1st editions has prevented the average collector from enjoying the books but my first preference would be to open an original not a repro. To all...

    There's your bargain GK.
  3. peewee22
    It is. Re sub I think. If so someone will find the older version.

    Ditto. I love opening the comics I love (within reason). Again, that's why I broke open a 7.5 years ago and caused panic here. Feels like you just crashed into that year in HG Wells Time Machine.
  5. peewee22
    yeah and that's a tough one in fairness to them. OW and C/OW is splitting hairs.

    same book with different PQ.
  7. peewee22
    That's my point. You pay them $$ = a sticker.

    Nice book GK. You mean if I click on the book I get a FREE QES sticker? Wow can I pull off the sticker and put it on my inferior 8.0? I see some toning on the cover. At the bottom inch it's clean but you can see the transfer stains above the inch line. Not knocking it at all. Sweet.

    Guess I can spend the 12 cents I had saved.

    i do, different book different day

    I broke open a 7.5 WPs about 10 years go here on the Boards. I had to see those pages. Gorgeous (it is my avatar). Bought it for 42k before the spikes. Resubbed shortly after and luckily came back the same grade and PQ. Would I do it again? Probably not due to the current values and stricter resubbing.

    Interesting, the book I purchased in 2011 was purchased by an original owner who died in a terrible auto accident in 1973. Most of the Marvel keys were there in high grade. The parents and siblings left the books in an upstairs closet until 2003. Case in point; it could takes a long time for books to come to market, if at all.

    Some may stay where they are for years. Yes, some will be "cashed in".
  14. peewee22
    Too big of a risk I think. It could teeter totter either way.

    Here's to a great 2020, Spidephiles

    and there may be more resubs than graded books. i know so many collectors who are considering resubbing.
  17. peewee22
    Makes sense.
  18. peewee22
    It's all good dude. Yes, buy what you love, that is what it is all about.

    I'm putting my AF15 on ebay as we speak. I could care less about the iconic book or character, it's all about the financial gain. You may have all the AF15 holders cashing in with your above "significant hit" prediction.
  20. peewee22
    A significant hit? So, should we dump our AF15s before the downfall? Maybe re-align our 401ks? Is N Korea going to bomb the US in 2020? Any other significant changes that you know about would be appreciated.
  21. peewee22
    Probably makes better sense for the lower grade copies. The higher grades (8.0+) will probably not drop that much. I can't see multiple HG AF15s coming from grandmas' attics.
  22. peewee22
    Very strong price.
  23. peewee22
  24. peewee22
    If it did not sell for 100k then it’s not. Honestly I could care less if it did.
  25. peewee22
    If a 6.5 sold for a 100 grand then it's a 100 grand book.
