Nice book, bushwick'. You sure you'd rather have an ASM 300 9.8?

Maybe, he needs to raise cash for his holy grail?

I don't give a [!@#%^&^] about most bronze marvels but this one is different!

This book makes Cerebus 1 seem interesting!

Hey, I had a complete set of Iron Man at one point. I can appreciate how scarce the 15c and 20c Iron Mans are because I spent a lot of time looking for them back in the day. A 9.8 #55 is kind of a big deal to me. I wouldn't pay the going rate for it as I don't believe in paying 9.8 money but nontheless that is a pretty sweek book. Not sure what your damage is, you seem bored with everything except1969-1974 DC

 

Expand your horizons greggo! - There's a world of great independents out there!

Looking at the bidders list for that book is like looking at the forum roster.

Missed the Black and White implosion so I am glad I don't have any nostalgia for them! Anyways, the market is skewed by the insufficiently_thoughtful_person specs!

Great book - dreadful scan

[DiceX]

I'm sure you know how hard it is to find an IM 55 with a decent cut.

This is one of the tougher Bronze books I can think of for print defects.

 

If it doesn't have an off centered cover, it has the black "Marvel Comics Group" banner at the top running off the top of the book.

If you can find one without those problems, then you have the diamond cut or skewed cut to sort through.

And I've seen some seriously bad diamond cuts on this book.

 

This book looks to be one of the nicer cuts, as well as high grade.

No doubt the nicest one I've seen.

[Bronty]

That's a good point. The best copy I ever had was structurally beautiful, but had a fairly wicked miswrap!

[DiceX]

I've seen miswraps in the neighborhood of 1/2" on this book.

1/4" is not at all uncommon.

 

Tough, Tough book to get in high QP.

[uclapeterg]

I agree with you. If you're getting $860 (current bid - reserve not met) , PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE invest in a good enough scanner! It's worth the hundred bucks!

This one might have a slight offset also...hard-to-impossible to see the lower-left.
