Decrease in value for small date stamp in page one of comics? 1 1

[mckinzie007]

Looking to buy a big near mint run of Iron man from 1979-1995 but 95%+ of the issues have a date stamp on page one. I thought it was release date from LCS but I think it is random and not that. Do not know why but wanted to know how much $ this wold knock of pricing for the comics

None.

None, but if you sell them raw you should mention it

+1 to all of the above, continued on to say that I don't think cgc counts off anything for it, if you need that leg to stand on selling/buying raws. I want to say maybe a little if on the cover and intrusive like a big old inky thick stamp that's smeared  for a lack of better description haha then cgc might tac it a little for being intrusive.

Seldom, seldom happens, and is why we all stated "none" to answer your question . But it's a good question just in case you weren't aware.

That is far from intrusive, it's neat and orderly on the 1st page. No discrepancy involved in grading.

For sure

It is Iron Man 123-332, they are nice, nrmt or better and very few VF+, he wants 535 for the run, a lot of money but I have always wanted these

If you want them all in one lot, paying $2.50 a book isn't terrible.  NM 169s sell for a nice chunk, as does the first Ghost but not many other issues have much of a premium on them.   I wasn't the biggest Iron Man fan and didn't care for it after #220 give or take an issue.  Hopefully, it is a local deal because shipping 200+ books isn't cheap, especially if they are B&BD. 

Best of luck with the deal.

Issues 128, 150 and 282 also sell for larger premiums.

Yeah, was watching one on eBay a few months ago but it was listed as NM high grade and went for over 700, so I bailed, stopped bidding at 600

 

He said I could have issues 200-332 for 225, If I wanted to save money. Still, would rather have all but this is not a bad deal I think

Take the bigger lot. All the best reading is in that lower end. Michelinie’s run is one of the best, most underrated reads of the era.

What he said.

Did you ask the seller if he's the one to stamp the date? Maybe it's the date he obtained them? Like how "random" are the dates? Off by years off or months?

Regardless that sounds like a good deal on good books.
