CAP Freak Posted October 28, 2008 Author Share Posted October 28, 2008 My favorite pre-code JIM! This one goes on the want list. Spectacular cover!! Just to keep thing straight, I was hoping some JIM expert would spot the change! Here's my real book undoctored! Nice job. I prefer the variant. Nightcrawler prototype.

RickHigh Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Is it just my imagination, or has JIM cooled off quite a bit? This is one of my favorite issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

namisgr Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 I agree. "Cooling off" would imply that prices are diving. Instead, few high grade early Thor JIM's have been offered for sale in the past couple of years. The ones that have seem to me to be selling for prices as strong as always. I mean, just try to find high grade copies of #93, any earlier issue, or 97-104 for anything less than at or above GPA average! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickHigh Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 My JIM collecting interest lies in issues from #83 to 104, so I know these can get expensive in HG. My pocketbook usually allows me to stay in the ballpark with grades in the 8.5-9.0 range. Do you see this as "high grade" for these issues? Or, do you consider anything under 9.2 for these early issues as common and undesirable for a high grade collection? I know it's probably just one's own personal opinion, but what is you guys opinion if you don't mind me asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlasFan Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 I think Thor is not that popular these days (I could be wrong...) and therefore the early Thor JIMs reflect that. If a Thor movie was announced...that may spike up some interest...Of course, you can throw that away if an uber-high grade issue come to surface on, say ComicLink or Hemorrhage., I mean Heritage.

I know it's probably just one's own personal opinion, but what is you guys opinion if you don't mind me asking. I think 9.0 in 83-104 is definitely HG! Some might not agree but to me with early SA it's the last grade that still says Mint in it...I've seen some real purdy 8.5s in that range as well which I would snap up as well...as previously expressed, it's just slim pickens as far as how often these books come up...I think I actually see more 9.4s than 8.5-9.2 but those have serious-money price tags...
