Well....your copy is likely worth at least $12K more than a couple of weeks ago. A white-pager in 6.5 just went for $84k. Sweet Lou 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially since I've got an X-Men 1 in better shape than this and a Daredevil 1 in much much better shape than this and all brought from the second hand used bookstore back in the day for the exact same price point since condition was definitely not a factor back then. Sadly, don't think there were any other SA Marvel #1's in there since some kid with a faster bike must have beaten me to the store and snapped them all up, as there were only the second and third appearances for some of the titles left by the time I got to the store. Sounds as though I really need to hunt them down as I haven't seen them in decades now after simply tossing them into a poly bag back in the day on the assumption they were pretty much worthless crapola, considering the terrible well read condition they were all in.

Actually, yours do sound like worthless crapola.... You should send them all to me for proper disposal! It is pretty incredible to think how times have changed. When low grade copies of X1 and IH1 easily fetch 5 figures. One of my goals for the year of to upgrade from my trimmed IH1 to a blue label, but boy that's gotten pricey.... Maybe I'll start cruising the used books stores to see if I can get lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I guess I was saying this because I thought that my copy of X-Men 1 which was pretty much a POS beater that would grade out no higher than a 1.0 Fair on a good day, and yet it looked a bit like that Hulk 1 which all of you are saying is in the 2.0 Good condition range when I thought 2.0 graded books looked more like this nicer presenting copy here: On 4/9/2022 at 2:39 AM, KCOComics said: ....

Well, since this is now 2022, I guess the old used books stores would all be up to speed and the storekeeper would immediately pull out their guide so that they can figure out what top of guide is they are going to charge you for this beautiful looking "mint" copy of Hulk 1. Sadly, no more of this 5 cents nickel stuff for old used comic books like the good old days.

Now only two more SA Marvel keys to go (and I agree with you on waiting on the FF 1 - it is an overrated book IMHO as well ). piper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
