Tsimanga Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 You've posted so many nice books in this thread before. I imagine there will be some interest. Do you have a link in the Marketplace thread? Thanks for reminding me...... I just put the post in the Marketplace now ) http://shop.ebay.com/harvdoss/m.html?_trkparms=65:12|66:2|39:1|72:2963&_trksid=p3911.c0.m14&_ipg=200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtleboy23 Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 What is the significance of the 1961 Amazing Adventures #1? Is it the first super hero or first pre hero monster book? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtleboy23 Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 I meant first Marvel silver age super hero? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjum12 Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 (edited) Dr Droom appeared in all 6 issues of AA and is VERY similar to Dr. Strange. If ever there was a prototype, this is it. Number 1 is a super cool book and I'm with r1970d in regards to it's significance....it deserves way more than it gets.

AtlasFan Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 What is the significance of the 1961 Amazing Adventures #1? Is it the first super hero or first pre hero monster book? First Marvel age hero - Dr Droom. It also has a really cool canary yellow cover too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimjum12 Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 I would be willing to bet there are less than 10 copies in the world at VF or better. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crimson dynamo Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 (edited) Hello Friends Did anyone get a hold of the unslabbed TTA 29 (-VF) that went for $338.00 on FEE bay? Holy , that was an un-expected price. Please excuse the profanity. Edited May 17, 2010 by crimson dynamo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjum12 Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 The 8.5 in the Jerry Weist auction just broke $ 600......anybody here win anything ? The Rawhide Kid 22 also broke 600.....and would've gone higher if I didn't have dial up The Two Gun Kid 58 went for a good price...less than 500.

There were some bargins to be had....in particulat the HG TOS #32 (Man in the Beehive) looked like a very nice copy and sold for a very reasonable price, $300-ish.

jimjum12 Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I had that one on watch....my only win was a B&B 24 in CGC 5.5....which will be promptly deslabbed the moment it arrives. That TGK 58 really surprised me....figured it for 600 or more. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for those Marvel Westerns, those were sold at bargain prices. I can't believe Rawhide Kid 22 (8.5) only went for $600. I was expecting that to hit the $900 dollar mark, guess nobody was watching these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheetah Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I had a bunch on my watch list but didn't pull the trigger on anything but one GA book. Hopefully Korvac and Turtleboy got something they needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtleboy23 Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I was the under bidder on the JIM 55. I'm not that upset I didn't win because the dust shadow on the front cover really bothered me for ow/w pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korvac Saga Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I bid on the JIM #55 also, think my high bid was about $635. Like Andrew, wasn't happy with all that tanning either, so no big loss. I helped drive up the price on the TTA #29 too. Have an 8.0 copy so wasn't super motivated there either. Totally agree on that TOS #32 7.5, a stael for whoever grabbed it. I won't even discuss the disparity in price between that book + the 8.5 copy I won off clink last year On a more positive note, I won the TOS #2 7.5 off of Heritage. Sure it had a prominent oxidation shadow, but is such a tough book that I had to go for it. At this rate I finish my TOS run before my TTA.

I was ready to hit 800 on it....but my dial up didn't refresh the page quick enough....at the right time and right venue I would think that 22 should be a 1200 dollar book. I didn't bid on the 29 as I knew you would....but it is one of my top ten pre hero covers and one I've never even read. A 7.0 to 7.5 is more my speed with these....8.5's and up are just out of my range. Metro just posted some new ones on their site, but no pics or prices yet...only the inquiry button. I've gotten 2 out of 3 books I've inquired about....but they don't have a TTA 29 in ANY grade.....but rest assured, I'M on the case now( can't find a Sherlock Holmes gremlin) and when I find one for you ,you'lll be notified. If you've already got it...I'll just keep it. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomber-Bob Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 I am not familiar with the Jerry Weist Auction. Was it advertised ? Sounds like it had some fun stuff in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
