 Stop it Clark you are not going anywhere This is the only thing that keeps you busy and relaxed and fun just like me. I love to see my books and money would only be spent on food and Drinks. I say comic books are a huge part of my life and having reprints just don't cut the mustard . If we don't have things to enjoy than what do, we have

You’re right Harold.

Not Gold, but there is always one or two issues from this era that makes it into these gold discussion auction Threads when they bring very high prices.

Any guesses on this one? Only 2 in this grade 500 or so in 9.8. Should be on a par with Ghost Rider and TMNT who undoubtedly were inspired by this hence the Teenage in their name (crossed with X-Men, the other most popular title at the time). Book is finally getting its due recently and 'holding'

if that book hits 5 or 6 figures I'll drink myself to death ...

Well, since we all know what happened with a CGC 9.9 graded copy of Transformers 1 and DC Comics Presents 26 is both an even earlier and bigger key, all I can say is that I hope all of your affairs are in order and you have brought your will up-to-date.

I was successful in removing this painful memory, I somehow attributed hammer price to Megan Fox's phone number written on first page.

Thanks for having brought the haunting back.

Depresses me too. But doesn't it just make you wonder what worthless carp you have stuffed away in long forgotten boxes that might now get you a bigger house?

The saddest part of the Transformers story is I don’t have a copy to sell to the underbidder

A most unattractive and unappealing book. Who cares if it's a 9.9?

I don't get it.

Yes it is unattractive and unappealing. But it's the first Raven.........and the rest.

Yes, I didn't mean to be critical of  collectors who like these books, I just don't like them myself. They seem devoid of the character and aesthetic charisma that I get out of GA books, but we like what we like I guess.

I should be grateful that people chase these books, less competition for GA gems.

It looks like the upper right-hand corner might have gotten a little smooshed from slabbing, so I don't think it's a 9.9 anymore. It also has a slightly crooked cut, and I didn't think that was allowed in 9.9.

It's a BS book.
