  1. Did you pay $4500 for it? If so, you are sitting pretty!
  2. Didn’t this splash sell in a Sothebys auction in the 90’s? I know I saw it for sale (I believe in an auction) a long time ago.
  3. Captain America Comics #1 was the first American comic book to have Hitler on the cover.
  4. Not a flip as far as I know, but the $1,500,000 price tag for this Kirby/Ditko ASM #8 splash is of note! https://www.comiclink.com/itemdetail.asp?back=%2Fsection.asp%3F_SORT%3DYES%26id%3D1398%26f1%3DListDate%26ODire1%3DDESC%26f2%3Di.Publisher%26ODire2%3DDESC%26f3%3Di.IssueNumber%2C%2Bi.Genre%26ODire3%3DASC&id=1556222
  5. Alex Schomburg World War II airbrushed cover from 1944 only $50 with free shipping in the con US. Signed on the bottom. Overall book is in Fine condition. Probably the least expensive Schomburg cover you'll ever see for sale here!!! 5 day return. Paypal or check.
  6. I took a pick of it in SD when Bechara had it. I think it was 77k back then?!?
  7. Heritage credits John Buscema and Joe Sinnott.
  8. I see they just listed the cover to What If #1. Bechara had this one a few years back. It's going to go for way more now!
  9. Dealer's gonna deal? While collector's come and go. Flipper's gonna flip!
  10. Long term I’d go with the whitest, freshest pedigrees. In 100 years from now the pedigrees with average page quality now will probably be slightly brittle or brittle while Mile Highs and San Francisco’s will be off-white at the worst (all things being equal). Not that we care what things will be like in 100 years, but eventually the time will come when conserved books will be more valued than the others as books that are deacidified will outlive the rest by 100’s of years. Again, no one thinks of that now, but future generations will wish we had!
  11. I really liked that Miller piece that was $8500. Boy did it go fast!
  12. So, who would you have chosen as the roll of Batman when it was cast in 1987-88?
  13. Yes, I’ve seen zero up to 5 digital code stickers on a single book, even a few 1.5’s where half the sticker was cut off during the manufacturing process.
  14. So somebody takes a Justice League of America #208, rips the cover & 1st 8 wraps off, sends this part of the book to CGC and they grade it a 9.8?
  15. Avoid these guys! They sent me a nice book but taped the top edge of the open mylar. In transit, the comic got stuck to the tape. I told them about this & they told me to open a dispute with the post office. It was not the post office's fault that they taped the comic. Then they halted all communication & banned me from buying from them! Learn from my experience!

    Congrats

    I disagree with this assessment. Just because a hobby now costs more than it once did, that does not preclude it from still being classified as a hobby. You want a cheap hobby that never goes up? Start a rock collection! Lots of inventory out there and 99.99999999999999% of it is free!
  17. Seems like a lot of the strip artists hold on to everything!
