    I have an LCS whose owner seems to prefer silver age Marvels to anything else, regardless of value. That is, if value is equal, he seems more willing to buy SA Marvel than anything else. I was just thinking about this in the context of my collection and wondered which of the following comics, of approximately equal value, are most appealing: CGC 9.6 X-Men 266 CGC 9.4 Hulk (2008) #1 newsstand edition CGC 8.5 Marvel Premiere #1 Raw (app. CGC 9.4) Captain Marvel Adventures #30 I'd put them in reverse chronological order for preference, making the CMA 30 the most appealing, followed by the MP 1, then X-Men 266, and last, the Hulk. And yet, the Hulk is easily the rarest of the group, and all are worth in the $350-$500 range.

    In addition to those MCS pickups, I added in these 2. Totally random, but I was reminded while diving in my boxes that I missed these 2 when they came out. Pull lists weren't perfect back in the day. The Kraven book was so popular that it went from a 7-issue series to a 6. Can't have a high print run. The Redemption book was part of the clone madness, of course.

    I love the oddities that ended up in here! A lot of the smaller publisher or straight-up independent works aren't really valuable in the FMV sense. But sometimes they have great writing, or unique artwork, or they just represent the attempts -- sometimes successful, sometimes not -- for people to break into the industry. (...and yeah, okay, sometimes they're just forgettable; not every book's a winner in ANY age). We're not all gonna collect all of that stuff. Hell, even I don't collect most of that stuff, and I collect some pretty deep drek at times. But I sure appreciate the stories that can be told about some of these books. I hope everyone does.

    I say this with love, but I can 100% picture this as being what you looked like, no problem! @the blob on the other hand, I dunno, I think we may have to petition to have his name changed. How does The Well Appointed Gentleman of Average Size hit everybody?

    That book looks a bit dog-eared. You’re being sold a pup there.

    I’m not sure about everywhere. I don’t think any of Adams stuff can really be classified as htf unless it’s a rare variant. Lots of DS girl covers used to sell for $5-10. As for selling now I agree the time to sell is when everyone is buying but week after week and month after month the prices continue to sell for even higher. I don’t think there is really a rush to sell. He will forever be an all time classic adorned artist

    Rolling on with the Hobgoblin collection! Picked up a new one that wasn't even on my radar, Spider-Man: The Parker Years. This one only has 16 in 9.8 and 22 on the census. Looks good in the slab with the wrap cover too. It's mainly a flashback book that was during the clone madness, but my man is front and center on the cover so it was an easy call. I didn't even realize it was a NS copy until it arrived.

    The original book is almost 200 pages, so I'll assume this is just pinups. Thanks, but its not what I thought it was.

    Others have brought up a wait of about 2 weeks at the GEI stage. I am really glad this thread exists because it helps with expectations. I don't mind the longer waits if I know they are coming.

    I'm so glad to hear you're enjoying the thread! I remember thinking during that period after the nineties crash that it was a good time to be buying new comics as I figured the imploding circulation figures would lead to more scarcity and hopefully higher values for new comics. So while I did pull back on a number of Marvel and DC titles when they killed and restarted their long-running titles, I didn't pull back on my comic spending overall... I just plowed the money into other things. It's one reason why you see so much variety in what I've been posting.

    @DavidTheDavid is a very astute boardie who knows a good thing when he sees it and he's so easy to deal with that he's always welcome on my threads. Perhaps you could start a competition with him to see which of you can buy more books from me...

    Money aside, these books are about as close to irreplaceable as it gets with only a few copies of each.....I don't even know how this stuff goes stolen. Does a customs agent open a box and stuff them in their shirt and then quite for the day? You'd think every package is carefully accounted for? The Hershey factory probably has better inventory management over their 50 cent chocolate bars....
