Waylander Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Tough book to find ... Part of the Marvel Silver Age First Issue registry set. 1 in 9.6, 1 in 9.4 ( 14 books graded in total ) Tough to find in ANY grade! Nice pick up Peter Thanks Brian. I'll be in Portugal in 2 weeks so I hope to take care of that thing we talked about (thumbs u Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzzetta Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 For as many as these there are, you don't find 9.8's that often. I was glad to find one! Side note, does anyone use anything to polish the cases? The scuff marks show up on this with the scanner much more than it appears-- of course the all black cover does not help. I am envious. I have a 9.6 and one day plan on upgrading. I would even consider a 9.9 if such a thing is possible as CGC has yet to grade one out at that level.

The Kaptain Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Superman #178 in original mailer... Ahh, nostalgia. I knew I had one of these left, as well. From 1988. Anyone know what it is? (I covered the address because my parents still live there.) Any hints? It does not appear to be the cover for any 1988 Marvel book I can find. Are you sure it was published in 1988? Is it a "Marvel" title, or maybe "Epic", or "Star" etc? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wfuller415 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 So I went to a toy/comic show and a dealer was selling inventory -50 comics for $20. All were bagged and boarded and looked pretty prestine to me. I decided to get some raw ASM from the mid-300s and Uncanny X-men from the high 200s to low 300s. At .40 per book I guess I should be glad I wasn't buying them when they first came out since they are all over $1 cover price. This got me wondering, what would it cost to put together long runs of ASM and Uncanny X-men - maybe ASM 350-700 and X-Men 300-544. Anyone put together a long run recently? Is it even worth the cost other than the love of collecting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The-Collector Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Depends on condition and slabed vs raw. Post a new topic in comics general with more detail. You probably won't get a helpful response but it is worth a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
