although not really keys, i like those adams conans too. cheaper and not many issues but a nice long termer. basically if its neal adams and its the 1970s it seems a good bet. cant wait those copies of planet of vampires are going make me a fortune

when i read this i thought what can you buy for $1000 in the bronze age now a days. its getting to the point that $2000 wont buy any high grade keys. i only buy high grade so a vg copy of hulk #181 has no appeal to me. so if you dont mind, lets take a look at some of the 'lesser' comics we can buy. since were waiting for 5 years and assuming the comic market doesnt crash you can really have some fun speculating on some ignored books. you can purchase a good amount graded or you can buy a tonne of them raw for $1000. some of my purchases would be 1st issue special #8 warlord #1 conan #24 & #23 second conan neal adams issues firestorm #1 eman #1 chilling adventures in sorcery #1 all marvel .35¢ & .35¢ variants anything kirby amazing spider-man #135,136,161,162,176-180,194 gs spiderman #4 all high grade horror comics theres a lot more lesser books you could but high grade keys for $1000 in the bronze age is getting very rare.

i wasnt sure if it was a white logo or the pic just didnt capture the colour right. i just checked and all my copies of shroud of mystery and shadow play and they are yellow logos. actually every goldkey/whitman comic i own is a yellow logo. i know all copies were bought local except the sealed ones. i remember one of my dealers telling me that they bought a load of whitman pre-packs and opened them up cause thats the only way they could get them. i could be wrong but i'm pretty sure they were not sold outside the pre-packs. anyone else have any info?

THANK YOU!! love that cover!!! i'd trade ALL my 13 copies of capt.carrot #1 for that. thats how much i love it. ditko is god!!!!

There was someone last year looking for this book to complete their set, and they made it very clear how difficult it had been to track issues 3-4. i got real lucky on this one. i found it by accident in my collection. i wasnt going to keep it till i noticed what it was. maybe i might get it graded and sell it.

shadow play was only in whitman 2 packs with shroud of mystery. shadow play, i'd say is about 5x more 'scarce'. i have about 10 copies of shroud of mystery and 2-3 copies of shadow play. i'm thinking that shroud of mystery was produced before shadow play. the reason i say that is first the rarity of shadow play and that fact that shroud of mystery is available in 2 different 2 packs(scanned below), the last reason is the price of the 2 packs. the shroud of mystery/jungle twins 2 pack is $1.19 while the shroud of mystery/shadow play 2 pack is ¢.99. but what do i know. a related story to all of this is whitman created a second issue of, i think, shroud of mystery. it featured steve ditko art. the ditko cover was auctioned years ago at heritage. i cant find the scans and i dont know what it sold for.

heres the last one. i guess you could say its kind of hard to find.

ahhh i screwed up. guess i shouldnt have had that 4th bottle of cough syrup.

i have no idea. they list for over 3x guide is last years overstreet. i'm willing to trade if anyones got them.

taken from wikipedia and i added the dates from overstreet that werent listed. who knew there were 2 variant issues??? figures my 10 copies each arent the variants. gotta get 'em Marvel Start Comic Titles Air Raiders (1987-1988; #1-2 under Star imprint) ALF (1987-1991) #1-50 Animax (1986-1987) #1-4 Bullwinkle and Rocky (1987-1989; #1-2 under Star imprint) Care Bears (1985-1989; #1-14 under Star imprint) Chuck Norris: Karate Kommandos (1987) #1-4 Count Duckula (1988) #1-15 Defenders of the Earth (1987) #1-4 The Flintstone Kids (1987-1989; #1-4 under Star imprint) Foofur (1987-1988; #1-4 under Star imprint) Fraggle Rock (volume 1:1985-1986 under Star imprint; volume 2:1988 under Marvel) The Get-Along Gang (1985-1986) #1-6 Heathcliff (1985-1991; #1-22 under Star imprint) Heathcliff's Funhouse (1987-1988; #1-5 under Star imprint) Hugga Bunch (1986-1987) #1-6 Inhumanoids (1987) #1-4 Madballs (1986-1988; #1-8 under Star imprint) Masters of the Universe (1986-1988) #1-6 under Star imprint Masters of the Universe: The Motion Picture (1987) Misty (six-issue limited series 1985-1986) Muppet Babies (1985-1989; #1-17 under Star imprint) The Muppets Take Manhattan (1984-1985) #1-3 Peter Porker, The Spectacular Spider-Ham (1985-1987) #1-17 Planet Terry (1985-1986) #1-12 Planet Terry (1985) #1 Variant "Star Chase" game last panel inside back cover Popples (1986-1987) #1-4 Royal Roy (1985-1986) #1-6 Silverhawks (1987-1988; #1-5 under Star imprint) Star Comics Digest a.k.a.

vf's not a bad grade for me so it does have potential but i'd rather have the ¢.35 star wars #1 actually all the ¢.35 star wars and maybe the iron fist #14. have you started on the ¢.35 marvels yet? the modern comics reprints i've really grown to like over the years. i'm guessing that charlton also produced them for modern because no other printing company in the world has production values that low. it seems like more people are into these comics as i've seen price increase on them, for high grade atlest. wonder how well they sold? i'm guessing not well since they were dumped at discount outlets unbagged. as for the guide unless it's gold or silver they dont care. the one thing that really bugs me is they post a price list for blb(big little books) books, which i'd say about 95% of collectors dont collect but theres no price for canadian comics or canadian variants of u.s comics. the market for the canadian books are a lot bigger than blb books. they need some new blood running the annual
