drewincanada Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Steve, I was salivating over that one when I saw it on Ebay, but it was out of my league at the moment. Congratulations! It's a beauty! Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comicdey Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 My lcs has an avengers 4 in g vg for &190. Is guide a deal at this point? I might be able to get of for a g+ price. Recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirbyJack Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Pull that trigger! (Bear in mind that this is coming from a guy who considers every SA Marvel 1st appearance Kirby ever did a Must Have.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recommendations? There's not much variance in selling price between 3.5, 4.0 and 4.5 copies lately. They're all going for $300-350. So $190 or less for a copy that'll grade out at 3.0 seems like a good deal to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewincanada Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 What I'd like to know is who picked up all those lovely Avengers copies in the CLink auction that just ended. C'mon. Speak up. Show us the goods! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheetah Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 I picked up a few of them but don't have them yet. Here is one that looked really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewincanada Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 I picked up a few of them but don't have them yet. Here is one that looked really nice. Yup, that's VERY nice. Love the sharp corners! Despite being stone cold broke, I couldn't help myself and bid on a few things: #22, 60 and 61. (I had my eye on some others, but they were already overpriced in the final hours of the auction.) Unfortunately (or fortunately, I suppose) I only won one of them. I think this is my third Pacific Coast Avengers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CONGRATS on a cool book at a great price.GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u I remember the same thing (er... not YOU buying it off the stand, but ME). This was the Avengers era that I remember the most fondly, when John Buscema was at his absolute peak. I loved his splash pages, and this issue had a DOUBLE splash page! Unfortunately, Buscema lasted only one more issue after this one (at least for the time being). I don't know why, but when he later returned to the Avengers his work just wasn't as dynamic.

jimjum12 Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 My first Avengers was # 56. I, too, feel that the Buscema run was as good as any since...and Roy Thomas was really pulling out the stops. I met Roy at a Heroe's con and was gushing about that run and he pulled an " aw, shucks, there were lots better than me. ..." routine.Here's one I just got from the Lee/Kirby period....a 7.5 that is as nice as my 8.5 but way cheaper.GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmtg9 Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 thats an excellent 7.5. nice centering and good vibrant colours. you gotta be thrilled with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillBreck Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Very, very nice - great colors. Where did you pick this one up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjum12 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Very, very nice - great colors. Where did you pick this one up? It came from www.torpedocomics.com with FREE shipping.It's got the best color I've seen yet...and I've owned two pedigree copies and an 8.5 whitepager. I've had some luck lately with CGC 7.5's....they seem to be tightening up on that grade.I put my 8.5 up for sale but the price is HIGH so I'll probably have it a while still.

jimjum12 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 It was already slabbed....and it was in some kind of cool mylar bag that fit the slab perfectly.

BillBreck Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 More books or more bags? There was a thread a few months ago about the mylar bags for slabs, but I can't remember who sells them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheetah Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Torpedo is a good place to buy slabbed books. I've bought a few and their prices tend to be reasonable. I've not bought non-labs, though, so don't know much about their grading scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjum12 Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 They have provided me with a complete Alien Worlds run and a complete Atlantis Chronicles run ( Peter David and Esteban Moroto) for around $ 20 each.The books are all 9.0 or better.I haven't tried anything more substantial in the raw arena yet. I lost out on a nice slabbed JLA 19 ( cgc 9.0) for $200...BELOW guide...waited too long.They could very well turn into a MAJOR operation in a few years...they just need to step up their marketing a notch or two.GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
