brownies8701 started following Progression of Comic Art Buying Question(s)
-
So I have been collecting comic art for only about 4 years and I love it! However, there are times where I don't love it...prices too high, a page I really liked sold, ridiculously high prices on recent flipped pages, etc. I have been mainly buying published pages around $500 and I have been enjoying the ones I have purchased. However, I feel like I want to take the next step and buy more expensive pages and/or pages from more well known artists. Ultimately, I am conflicted...I like & enjoy the pages I buy, but is my desire to want better quality/more expensive pages a true natural progression in this hobby? I'm not talking big dollars...$1K to $2K. AND In your opinion, is it better to buy pages (most likely more expensive) from more popular artists with maybe less action/less main characters or cheaper pages with better action/main characters? I'm looking to keep all pages I have & not sell them as an investment fyi. I know and have read "buy what you like" and really have adopted that philosophy, but I am curious your opinion what your progression was/is... Thanks for your input/feedback

Silver Age Comics Are Still Falling ?

Here is the GPA data for CGC 8.0 FF 52. Still a good time to buy and sell. As always you need to pick your spots and don’t sweat getting it wrong every now and again. -

Thats really nice and a pity about the top left, I think its a tough book in nice grade, I have upgraded this book a number of times and never been happy with what I got. I think this is my best copy but still not happy and will go again if I see another and the price is right. A couple of others that have stamps just to keep my post legit. All pretty scabby I guess, I just never come across a real nice copy in the UK

Hero Restoration, Anyone know the latest?
Neo "The One" replied to Cantina201's topic in Comics General
Hey Mattn - just posting this response here. Thanks for the DM chat. I think everyone is concerned with who is legit and who is not or has an "ulterior motive". And to those reading this, yeah its not good to let one person or even a small group of people to take over and be the 'savior' for everyone. Don't expect any silver bullets here. If someone is asking for money be cautious. Even if it is not the person everyone is pointing too. I mean, you could find a bad lawyer milking you too. Just do your research and don't get burned again. -

Rich and I were both looking for nice copies of Scrooge #6 at one stage and talked a bit about it. I ended up with a 6.5 as well, and there aren't too many higher copies on the census, last time I looked. -
So you would pay $75 extra for getting in a half hour early each day and a t-shirt, tote bag and a print. I'd not do it currently to get in a half hour early since the room is huge so everything won't be picked over when the regulars get in and it's not like there is a new hot book you will be running around the room looking to pull from boxes. So is the other stuff worth $75 is the question. My answer would be no for me.

So more news from my end - I had another person contact me from the website. As you know - I'm not a lawyer, and I don't play one on television, but here is what I recommended: I'd say fill out a complaint with the Oregon DOJ, consult a lawyer (Free consultation) and call the Oregon Police department to open a case. . https://www.doj.state.or.us/consumer-protection/sales-scams-fraud/report-scams-fraud/ https://www.ci.lebanon.or.us/police Also, I was able to find my book was sold here: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ssn=geekbay_since_2003&LH_Sold=1&LH_Complete=1 This was sold without my knowledge or authorization. Others have reported the same, and the ebay account leads back to Mike. I'd also recommend reviewing the chat board - there is a lot of information there that sometimes get buried. https://boards.cgccomics.com/topic/529515-hero-restoration-anyone-know-the-latest/page/62/#comment-13136443 I'm an IT guy, so if you are not comfortable following the links I sent - feel free to do your own research. I'm including Krisit's information from the DOJ. She seems to be actively investigating this, and others have gotten responses and or updates from her. I think its a good start! Consumer Complaint Specialist | Consumer Protection Section Civil Enforcement Division Oregon Department of Justice 1162 Court Street NE, Salem, OR 97301 Office: (503) 934-4400 / Fax: (503) 378-5017 Email: kristi.markishtum@doj.state.or.us Best of luck! -Gary -

I think most if not all of those books were printed in Australia for the NZ market, often with different cover prices and sometimes different page counts. It's a bit of a minefield for collectors - and then there are the UK versions... -

Silver Age Comics Are Still Falling ?
BFA1971 replied to Colin Nash's topic in Silver Age Comic Books
I think they will go below 2019 prices for many issues. Maybe not the mega keys as people will buy when they perceive a good deal is on.. they might bottom out at pre-covid prices for the mega keys but the others I feel will fall below. I can see it in many non mega key issues I wonder if many collectors are selling their Silver and Bronze and getting out or switching to buying a few Golden Age keys for many Silver....? -

Character Issues CI (26 issues) - many of these reprint parts of Dell Four Color issues Christmas Parade CP (15 issues) Film Preview (90 issues) Movie and TV tie-ins, reprinted from Dell Four Color and later Gold Key adaptations Jumbo series J (57 issues) - these are 64 page books.
