Get Marwood & I Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 On 4/27/2022 at 1:56 PM, Stronguy said: I've worked on many, many, many ASM 361s and what you describe is right on the money. The cover attachment is really, really sloppy and the vast majority of the time at least 1 staple has a problem. The QP on that book is horrible. The first thing I would look for on a multi-cover version is the grabber marks on the bottom of the front/back cover. Those would need to align but I suppose it's possible that the interior cover would not necessarily be perforated. That makes me feel a lot better, knowing that it was more likely to be genuine, thanks Stronguy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post trademarkcomics Posted May 12, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 12, 2022 I'm kind of a double cover freak.

Amen When I bought the #182, there was also a 9.4 available, but they upped the price before I could buy. So I settled, but there have been quite a few hulks. The first I heard of double covers, maybe 2017, I went to the LCS to ask about them. They had just got the hulk #162 in, so I bought it. They claimed not to know how to price it,.but I want to say I paid $50-60 raw. At the time I thought that was a lot of money OtherEric 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when spending $15 on a comic was a HUGE amount of money for me to spend on one book. But in the last couple years I've been involved in four transactions involving books at $500 or higher... and while those may be near the top of my personal limit, I don't consider them particularly huge amounts compared to other people.

I've ponied up for some books but less than ten. I usually do those in person. I've tried it three times online and something has gone wrong. All the sellers made it right so far, but it makes me wary. I have one today that is a first in a long time, maybe once or twice a year since 2014, if it delivers and the seller makes it right I'll be happy! They "accidentally sent me a 7.5 instead of the 9.2 that is Lord willing coming today". Lol it's funny I've almost sold more $500+ books no problem than bought, knock on wood.
