I haven't been able to track down a completely uncolored Spider-Man. I bought them all uncoloured but I really didn't check that closely. They should be all unused.

greggy Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 With respect to these treasuries, other than some of the more obscure ones and the colouring books, I've pretty well completed these runs by 2005 and have only slowly been buying some books here and there. I do need to upgrade some books so I may decide to buy a few more but it's not a huge priority at this time. As you can see, I have plenty of them and limited space.

WernerVonDoom Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I used to have my Treasuries stacked up like greggy. I just bought a magazine box and put them in spines down. Does anyone think there are any issues with storing them this way? (On a side note, my collection fit exactly in one box - so I guess I'm not buying any more) wormboy, Spider-Variant and batmiesta 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batmiesta Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I can't imagine any dealer has a Treasury inventory as good as Greg's. WernerVonDoom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I think you'd have to go to a major convention and luckily stumble across someone that has new inventory. The last big batch of quality Treasuries I saw was when John Hauser put a huge set up on ebay at least 15 years ago. I think most of those were DCs, iirc. batmiesta 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a couple of hundred I keep thinking of selling. I’ve been letting some of my low grade copies go for for awhile, but I keep debating the better ones. Every now and then, they look like the prices are set to spike, but then they settle back down. It may be that if the prices do go up, more may come loose from long-term collections. batmiesta 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can remember seeing stacks of random single-issue treasuries at conventions over the years. I figured they were warehouse-type finds. Pricing would be maybe $4 or $5 each - and then I can remember them climbing to $10 or $12 each. Then the large stacks seemed to dry up. What was once a very fun, and relatively cheap, side branch of collecting is now a major commitment if you want to find high grade copies and complete a run of Marvel or DC. I do love the treasuries, though! I really enjoy finding nice copies in the wild. What a crazy & fun size and concept these things are. batmiesta 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
