A local guy has been slowly selling off his collection to me over the past few years. We agree on pricing pretty easily which makes things work for both of us. I knew he had these early ASMs a couple of years back but he wasn't ready to sell yet, and he let me know a couple of couple of days ago that he was moving on from them. As always it was a pretty easy deal to make. I actually put a higher value point on the ASM 5 than he did so he actually negotiated down from the price I offered him, which is not something you see every day. I did make a video of it that is going live tomorrow but that is pretty much the story. grendel013, ADAMANTIUM, grendelbo and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've curated the best I can, but it's a nice deviation from what sometimes feels cutthroat, like any hobby turned business 😂 Edited March 25, 2023 by ADAMANTIUM Larryw7 and Stefan_W 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Beyonder123 Posted March 26, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 26, 2023 Some of the better finds of mine at a recent comic show. The first Braniac was a crazy good find as it was mixed with other low grade silver age books for 50 cents. Everything here was purchased for less than 200 including another stack of cheaper books not pictured. The uk books were 3 bucks a pop.

Popular Post Black_Adam Posted March 26, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 26, 2023 Not a comic, but I thought this fridge magnet I found at my LCS was pretty cool.

Been a long row to hoe. I'm glad that the others were attractive too, "no one?/Batman?" Sweet! I'm all for the getting into some detective stuff if it floats your boat too, but I'm not sure where those books are Darkwing Duck at least had a cool theme song. yeah Darkwing ducks theme song was dope! yeah no one/batman :-( ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the Spidey #26 have a miscut cover, or have the insides slid up? I see a lot of additional top edge, which is always welcome if it's production related Stefan_W 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - I kind of looked at all that, as the CGC label looked weird - I don't recall that font being used for the verification numbers before. But it does check out through the verification process. And the grader's notes match the book. Maybe that case weirdness (and the fact that it was in Canada) had an impact on auction results. I got a bargain on it - about $200 under last GPA. But then maybe the price is soft due to the overall softening of the market. But the last GPA before that was set in Feb 2023. Go figure - sometime I luck out at auction, when people forget or don't come out to play. Edited March 27, 2023 by lizards2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that it matters, as Lippy The @lizards2 always busts them out anyway I'm getting old enough now, so that isn't always necessarily true. However, the magazine size encasement may insure that I do crack this one out. Who wants to store and odd-sized slab? Not me. greggy and Get Marwood & I 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see a lot of additional top edge, which is always welcome if it's production related I am listing it as a trim since I can't tell if it is manufacturing. The bottom lines up so the top part is just absent, although if it was cut it must have been long ago since the edge is right for the age.
