look how white this cover is

 

and the freshness of the colors

 

WOW!

 

liek it just came of the newsstand

[sufunk]

I think Roy was just joking when he said to start a thread for every book in the auction

 

 

 

 

[VintageComics]

Ben, I was kidding. I didn't realize they started drinking at 10 am down under.

 

[comicdonna]

Perhaps 4 books per thread?

[etanick]

what I want to know is what is his max bid on this book so I can plan ahead.

[Inhuman Fiend]

Blah, nasty miswrap and distributor ink mar this one

[Silver Surfer]

The distributor ink on this is most annoying. Such a nice copy but my eyes keep pulling me towards that red blotch at the top.

Perhaps 4 books per thread?

 

c'mon- one book per thread on this pedigree.

[JiveTurkeyMoFo]

Wow...that's probably the nicest Avengers # 4 I've ever seen.

If he's bidding 30K, he can have two threads for this book!

Look at the colors of the CGC label. They went a little overboard with the color settings on the scan.

The colors on the book may be nice, but they're not going to be as vivid as the auction scan.

 

 

[DiceX]

I took the liberty of bringing it a little closer to reality. I obviously don't have the book in front of me, so I can't nail the color, but just from the label, I'll bet mine is more in line with the actual book.

 

Their scan on left. My adjustment on the right.

 

No offense to Heritage, but whoever does your scans does not do you guys any favors.

 

[etanick]

I like the strategy of announcing maximum bids to thwart off any potential competitors

[LordRahl]

Wow...that's probably the nicest Avengers # 4 I've ever seen.

 

Agreed. Even with the overspray on the back cover spine, I'd still be all over this book. Except for that $20K+ part.

 

This pedigree is legit. Gorgeous books so far unlike the Savannah pedigree which in my opinion is even more unworthy of the pedigree designation than RM or Susha.

Doubtful. Yours looks completely washed out. I have no doubt that the book isn't as nice as their scan but I'm betting it's closer to their scan than to yours.

Mine might need to be just a little more vivid, but I don't have the book in front of me and I only had their "auto leveled" scan to work with.

Anyone know what the AF15, FF1, and IH1 have been graded or what they look like?

[namisgr]

6.0, 6.5, and 4.5

 

So far, the early Marvel keys in high grade are the JIM83 (8.5), TOS39 (9.2), DD1 (9.4), and Avengers 4 (9.4). I believe the X-Men 1 is an 8.0, and the FF5 an 8.0.
