thanks for that I usually grouped copper in the modern age but yeah and didn't know about the title of chromium.. learn something new. 

technically you are correct many place these books strongly in the modern age.

The Batman/Robin book is worth a little more, the others are kind of semi semi semi kind of sort of maybe minor semi minor keys... books that theoretically can sell for $5-$12 raw or so. Them being slabbed in those grades does not help them all that much given that it adds $5-$7 to your shipping cost. I'd pay $10 each total, shipped, but mainly because I want some exemplar slabs to help with grading ("what would cgc do?") as I sold most of my slabs.

so would the copper age then be considered 1986-1993 and chrome 1993 -2000?

yes but many just subsume copper and chromium into the modern age.

I don't want to call them drek because they are better than that. There is interest in them, it's just sometimes hit or miss interest and you need patience sometimes to get a decent price outside the 9.8 (or maybe 9.6) slab scenario...books you might only get 99 cents for in a 99 cent opening bid auction one week, but $10 the next week. The Batman book is more consistent as a $15+ type book though.

Ps thats what's known as the 'hasty generalization' or 'conclusion from an insufficient sample'.  You found one thing wrong on the internet, therefore you claim everything on the internet is wrong.

Copper started by 1981. The top Copper book, TMNT 1, came out in 1984, so anybody saying Bronze ended after that (like your first image) is instantly exposed as a drooling insufficiently_thoughtful_person even if you disagree on the exact dates..

Need some extra cash in the upcoming weeks and was considering parting with a tiny bit of my collection.  All the books listed in the opening post are slabbed FWIW.

I would agree with this actually.  I always thought the bronze age began in 1970 with GL 76 and ended around 1979.

X Force 11 in CGC 9.4 has been going for $30-50. Not too shabby, and a good book to own for Domino fans.

making local sales is typically the best option for low value slabs. Shipping a $15-$20 slab (those other x force slabs) for $7-$10 really eats into the potential value online.

What's wrong with drooling...?

I've subscribed to the idea that the Bronze Age ended with the beginning of the "Dark Age" of comic books in 1984. I think the "Copper Age" is a dumb label and group all "CA" books with Modern.

Books are slabbed with their corresponding grade below.

All Star Batman & Robin, the Boy Wonder 10 8/08 - 9.6 WHITE (Recalled due to improper editing of obscenities)

X-Factor 15 4/87  - 9.0 WHITE

X-Force 11 6/92  - 9.4 WHITE

X-Force 19 2/93  - 9.2 WHITE

Marvel Comics Presents 19 5/89 - 9.4 WHITE

 

3.50

treefiddy

threefifty

do not apply.

X-Factor 15 4/87  - 9.0 WHITE $15

X-Force 11 6/92  - 9.4 WHITE $45

X-Force 19 2/93  - 9.2 WHITE $10

Marvel Comics Presents 19 5/89 - 9.4 WHITE $15

but what would I pay? 

 

nothing.

not one dollar.

Zero.

Zilch.

These modern books are mostly only valuable to a collector in 9.8 or better. So I would have zero interest in them personally or as a modern collector.
