MattTheDuck Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 (edited) Eternals is one of my few, brief excursions into speculative comic book buying in the 70s. One of about 3 titles in which I bought multiple copies of issues as they came out. Would never have picked this title for a movie. Blind luck on my part, but glad to see it surging.

zosocane Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 My collecting range is NGs (e.g., coverless, page) to 9.8s. I avoid 9.9s. Readcomix, KirbyJack and skypinkblu 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought one 9.9 because I thought it would be cool to have one in my collection. I purposely made sure it was a one-shot so that it wouldn't stick out as an outlier in a run. Didn't cost me much. jimjum12, Pantodude, bc and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just thinking as I looked over the cover again -- celebrating Marvel without the FF is insane. I think the comic being held open at the bottom features the Human Torch, but I can't tell if that's the original or Johnny Storm.

Frank.Einstein Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 (edited) And so, it begins! How much will it shatter the 2011 $1.1M sale by? It's already +48% ($1.625M) based on the bid price alone, +77% ($1.95M) with the buyers fee – with 16 days still left! Someone please chime in on any intel for sales not recorded on GPA, if there have been any. https://comics.ha.com/itm/silver-age-1956-1969-/superhero/amazing-fantasy-15-marvel-1962-cgc-nm-96-off-white-pages/a/7246-93001.s?type=lotlink--bidnotice-tracked-dailystatus Edited August 23, 2021 by Frank.Einstein littledoom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do they strict to the nominal bid amount? Obviously, any 9.6 AF 15 is a thing to see but I can't help but feel this book was pressed and the interior pages taper out as you move up the right side of the book. It is too bad that grading and pressing do that to a book of this caliber. I get it, but it also makes me sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm glad I started collecting in the playground where we swapped and loaned our comics with each other. The real pleasure of Strange Tales 180 is in Jim Starlin's amazing artwork. It's not in seeing the covers behind glass. It's in handling an original newsprint copy not some slick papered, recoloured reprint in a Milestone Edition. I feel a little sorry for collectors coming into the hobby now if their primary experience of comics is in a slab. Slabs have their place, but I want newsprint pushed up under my nose. I want to smell 1972 as well as touch and see it up close. (I will buy a second copy if I can so my best copy can stay in shape.) sniff sniff ahhh ambrosia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tax bill would be quite significant for this as well as it is Heritage. littledoom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
