kimik Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 http://www.ebay.com/itm/The-Mighty-Thor-337-Bronze-Age-1st-Beta-Ray-Bill-VF-NM-Gem-Wow-/331636556679?hash=item4d37144387 this book took off all of a sudden. Interesting. That is just a lowly direct edition as well. I am too lazy to look, but there should be a bit of a premium for the newsstand copies, right? Taking a quick look at GPA, there was a 9.6 Canadian newsstand copy that sold for $175 in July, which is double the last direct copy ($81). Looks like I will have to send some more in to see if I can land another 9.8 or two........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like I will have to send some more in to see if I can land another 9.8 or two........... canadian newstand is a whole other species. thor 338 is 1983? should be plenty of newstands out there, but yes, certainly in the minority, but not like some book from 1997. i don't have gpa. but i think that was a book that good some very nice coin in 9.8 even when really sharp raw copies were languishing. seeing that made me do some digging last night...found a nice copy along with 2 nice She Hulk 1s, a Howard the Duck 1, 13 (Kiss issue), two nice captain america 217s, and a bunch of other books on the uptick recently that I did not pull last time I did some random searching for "what's hot" about 3 months ago. and a huge stack of DC Whitmans that I will spend 4 hours researching to see if any are "rare." i really need to organize my collection.

divad Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 It's good to know that there's someone out there who's even less organized than I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimik Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I was at the same point earlier this year until I organized it in two large groups - one to sell at the spring shows in $1 boxes and the other group that I sold to my LCS. It was kind of fun pulling keys out in multiples from boxes, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheeseFrog Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 They look between a 9.2 and 9.6. I wish CGC graded these... I have my reader copies, but I would assume nicer copies would be quite collectible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

batmiesta Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 SparkleCity is as SparkleCity does. Why is this so? I bought some really high grade treasuries from a ebay seller I have dealt with many times and trust his grading, they cost a fraction of the ones sold by Sparkle.
