Secret Hearts #83

2.5 - $350

The source of Roy Lichtenstein's most famous work, Drowning Girl, stolen shamelessly from Tony Abruzzo.

A copy recently sold on ebay for $400 - it looked nicer, but with a big tear on the fc and worse page quality, which matters here since the splash is the money shot. Mine has the tear on the bc 😁 So I'll put this at $350 and see how it goes.

I have one more book coming at some point, I just have to talk myself into it, as it's one of my favorite books. Might be tomorrow depending on how long my mourning period lasts.

Marvel Spotlight #5

7.0 - $3000

Payment for this is by check only, no Paypal.

This is a beautiful, super tight copy. Defects to take note of: the main one is the tiny tear upper right corner which led to a small crease running up to top edge from it. There's also a very slight color breaking finger bend on the right edge by the trademark TM, and another on the bottom edge between the OF and ALL. One small, faint spine tick at top of top staple. Back cover has very slight browning (foxing?) along bottom left edge/corner and a little at top left corner. 

This comic is glossy, the colors are fantastic, and it is as tight and flat as a drum head. I'd swear it had never been opened, except I know I read it once when I bought it 30 years ago. It looks and feels like it just came off the stand.

I ran this by the grading forum a while back and the consensus based on the technical flaws was 7.0, so I'm going with that. Looks and feels better to me.

I love this comic book, it's one of the jewels of my collection. But I'm committed to making comics. I want to find it a good home with someone who will love it for another 30 years.

How times have changed! If I had offered this MS #5 at this price last summer, they would have made me Mayor of Earth.
