rodan57 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 A few recent pickups from WW Chicago.......... Three from Dale Roberts.... Dale and Bob had a lot of great books and I could have easily bought a dozen more. That is a beautiful copy. Absolutely perfect. Nice pickup. Thanks. I've been looking for a nice copy of #18 for a long time. I was pretty lucky to find a raw copy in this condition. A great copy. In 1964 and 1965 Marvel were at their absolute peak.

mjacobs8 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I posted the sellers scan of this book earlier in this thread, now that I have it in hand, here is my scan. Billbrecks' raw copy may be a little sharper, but I'll live with this copy until I upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well at least you got a very nice copy. It's going to be interesting to see how many of the Avengers in Clink's next auction will set new GPA highs. http://www.comiclink.com/auctions/search.asp?where=sell&title=avengers&ItemType=CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheetah Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I can't think of the last time an Avengers I was looking at didn't go for a new GPA high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillBreck Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I can't think of the last time an Avengers I was looking at didn't go for a new GPA high. And it's probably only going to get worse as more info about the movie is released. I have around 10-15 books left to upgrade and I'd ideally like to get them before the prices become too crazy.

I'm starting to wonder if I should shift my focus to another title and wait until AFTER the movie has been released. If it's another Daredevil dud, perhaps prices will plummet again and it'll be a buyer's market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm starting to wonder if I should shift my focus to another title and wait until AFTER the movie has been released. If it's another Daredevil dud, perhaps prices will plummet again and it'll be a buyer's market. I can see your logic and it's sound logic. Trouble is, if the film is a success, the prices will probably stay on a higher tier. The modern comics can either help raise or impede prices to a lesser degree. I predict that Brubaker will bring back Cap at some point (after all, he will be back in time for the film) and knowing Brubaker, he'll do it well. Also someone (and I hope it's not Bendis) will bring back more of a traditional Avengers book before that film, I think. Anyway, I digressed a bit then but my point is that it can go either way at this early stage. The Iron Man success has put a lot of the fanbase and critics in a good frame of mind to receive an Avengers film but it's a long time between now and then and a couple of stinkers between now and then could easily kill the momentum. So in conclusion, I have no idea, what is the best buying strategy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
