shadroch Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Now we can not only sell books on what they might grade after pressing, we can see them on their potential film popularity. Has there ever been a better time for collectors to purge their books? Martin Sinescu, Ken Aldred and ygogolak 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimik Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Maybe the early 90s Valiant/Malibu/Image bubble when you could trade last month's latest chromium or other colored cover variant straight across for a mid grade SA key? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably why they show as unavailable... But they're still "trying to be or uploaded to your sigline" but show unavailable because you canceled the account.... You can use images straight from your computer now STORMSHADOW_80 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope I held onto some of the copies I hoarded. I buy up a stuff very pre-hype pricing, wait for the price surge, never see it, sell, then it explodes.

When all of the A and B characters have been speculated on it is time for the spec crowd to move to the C to F levels. That's really true. I mean The Howling Commandos book in the modern thread really made me laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As big as a fan as I am of this Godzilla series, $90.00 for those 2 books is crazy, especially without better pictures or no back pictures. 24 is the 3 hardest book in this series, behind 15 and 17 in 9.8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
