  1. Who was the lucky person that won this copy for $90? I have seen raw and cgc copies in lower grades on EBay sell for more than that. I should have bought it if I knew about it on that auction.
  2. Don't worry we will see it flipped on ebay or comic link for a higher amount. I doubt a variant collector bought both of them for their collection. It is some one who does not know what they are doing like that guy who keeps relisting that Iron Fist #14 5.5 with the low page quality and eye appeal. Oh, I bet it is a variant collector, and one that is good at mining variants. Most likely, if they are on here, they would be waiting until they had both copies firmly in their grasp before talking about it. If anything was going to be flipped, it would probably be the first and lower grade copy to help offset the price on the nicer book. The person is probably ecstatic to have not only secured a copy, but to have been able to upgrade it within two days. I hope so but we will see.

  4. more rare than its 25 cent counterpart, but as far as variants go, it is on the low to average side of difficulty. Chip, Usually if you see more then 1 or 2 of a 30 or 35 cent variant its not a difficult one. If I remember right here is the genre breakdown. Dicuss if you think the order needs adjusted. I think others can talk more about War,Toon,Horror, and Reprints order then I can. I am stuck always finding Super Hero 80% of the time. Hardest to Easiest Categories 1.) Western 2.) Toon 3.) War (2 & 3 I could go either way.) 4.) Horror 5.) Reprints 6.) Super Hero Chip, I would like to also add that with these 30 and 35 cent books that Harder to Find don't mean $1000+ price tags. Like with regular copies of any book, demand makes the price and not any guide or whatever crazy formula these sellers on ebay use. People collect and buy more Spider-Man books then Kid Colt.
  5. I know who has the 7.0, and where he got it. You would know the owner too. I am not going to mention his name, but I assure you, I doubt it is for sale. the other copy then.
  6. Could that be the same thing with the IF 14 now popping up? That is too big of news in our collecting to hide.
  7. Just like my Iron Fist #14 9.4 and I wish us both luck.
  8. Shield Any hints on who has the higher graded Iron Fist #14s???
  9. That is a true tough key. Good luck 1p36DSA. any leads on where to locate one?
  10. The seller of the Archie always has some 15 centers listed.
  11. That is a true tough key. Good luck 1p36DSA.
  12. I would add the other #1's - all seem as important as John Carter Tarzan #1 Scooby-Doo #1 Flintstones #1 Eternals #1 Human Fly #1 Godzilla #1 also X-men 107 - "first full star jammers" Thor #250 IF #15 IF#15 That book took me forever to find. I found more low grade #14s on the way before I got a tip that someone was selling a #15 copy a few states over. The best part of collecting these books are the hunt.
  13. There was no way I would ever come close to a full set of these, but I did like the idea of collecting them, so I went after price variants of titles I liked. I had a handful of 30¢ variants of Thor 250, Cap 200, Marvel Feature 4, Marvel Spotlight 28 and all the Warlock (12-14) 30¢ variants. Recently, I picked up all the Ms. Marvel (6-10) 35¢ variants, so those fit nicely in my run. +1 If you collect a certain title then find the variant. If you like Spider-Man then look for Spider-Man. If you like X-Men then look for X-Men. Now don't look for Sgt. Fury if you don't like Sgt. Fury. People think hard-to-find variant books are key but they are not. Grail to some but never key. You will get bored fast and end up listing your hard-to find variants for sale or auction and taking a loss on the time and money you wasted finding them. Don't worry, keldog is not bitter at all (thumbs u I did not mean to sound bitter. My point was to collect what you like and not is the in demand book that others are looking for to complete there set. I was agreeing with Ball on going for titles you like. The hunt for these books are fun if you have passion for the books you want. I hope the new owners of that Cap #212 error books will enjoy those books in their collection. (thumbs u I'm still looking for the owners of the IF#14 9.4 to sell . No I know, sometimes you do end up selling a really tough to find book for what seems like cents on the dollar... Leave the tough ones for those that really, really want them (thumbs u I blame my woes on paying bills as stopping me from ever completing a set. That and a wife.

  16. That looks like the 4.5 that went missing off the census. I bet the other copy is another cracked slab copy and is the book that sold a few times on the internet. Well now, if it went missing off the census, it somehow got dumped into a store overstock and sold for a dollar. Loren from Warp 9 Comics bought it about three or four minutes before I went through the same box, and handed Roger from Collectors Zone out of Jackson a buck for it. Roger was doing all dollar boxes that day, probably cleaning out a collection he'd bought recently, or old store overstock from his own store. Loren showed it to me a few minutes later, told me what he'd done. He looked it up on his tablet right there and then, found the listing for $4K, and was a bit boggled. Me too. No guarantee I would've spotted it myself, although that bare logo banner DOES stick out. If Roger can give some history on how he got the book then that would help a lot to see if this is a new copy or that same copy.
  17. Only 1 and it wasn't a variant, but a harder to find Acme/Dingo ASM book below. Still a spider book. Tried some new shops there I can tell you about later to check out next time you are in that area. Nice find.

  19. If it looks better then the one on EBay then..... if your friend wants to sell it for a fair price.
  20. IT IS BACK AGAIN. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380750719808&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:US:1120 One just sold here. http://www.mycomicshop.com/search?ItemID=24820088
  21. Which show? I see people in Canada and in PA get these books then sell them but they never tell me where that got them from. I never looked for these until you started posting them. MN Fallcon (thumbs u
