  1. Note, I had the wrong pricing on Avengers 48, I had accidently used the GPA from one of the other Avengers books I had listed by mistake. This is Now correct..... Avengers 48 Strong 7.0 attractive upper mid grade just minor reading wear as expected for grade, 1st Black Knight as previewed in the end credits of the Eternals movie. 7.0 GPA is $976 and with clean and press this has 7.5 potential. Board Price just $795 Nearly $200 Below market. I will be putting up more Keys throughout the day, so please check back!
  2. So I guess I am looking for a new BFF from someone out there.
  3. Tales of Suspense 52 Key 1st Black Widow High Grade looks like a solid VF range, beautiful spine, striking vivid colors, white pages, only very minor wear and small corner crease barely breaks the color. $6,751 is the most recent 8.0 GPA and prices are spiking up in almost every grade. $3,900 board price and well worth taking the risk for the reward of getting 8.0 vs 7.5 and nearly doubling your money if you pull the better grade in submission. Tales of Suspense 57 Key 1st Hawkeye Strong VG (almost VG+), typical wear, solid spine, staples, complete, typical reading wear, very light marvel chipping. GPS $831 in VG and $1,080 in VG+ if you get a generous grade.

  4. Superman #4 a virtual tie for the 1st Lex Luthor Qualified 3.0 range due to CFO Last .5 sold for $581 in 2019, recent sales in higher grades show a 50-70% increase since then a restored 1.5 sold for $1,175 probably more similar in value to a qualified 3.0. Small spine split at bottom, small/light water mark, cover detached. Board Price $895. X-Men #1 1963 Holy Grail 1st X-Men/Mutants, complete and attached Fair 1.0, typical wear and tear, minor staining, shows almost 3.0 except for the corner bug chew. The bug had an appetite for the corner margin only, just barely stays out of the panels! $6,200 Over $200 Below most recent 1.0 GPA. X-Men #2 2nd appearance of Earth favorite Mutant Super Heroes! Strong 3.0 to almost 3.5, front cover shows VG/VG+ but the back has two larger edge tears and a small corner piece out. 90 day 3.0 GPA is $1,100 and I would take this over almost any 3.0 based on how well the front cover shows. Only $895 over $200 Below GPA! Avengers 8 Key 1st Kang the Conquerer the primary villain and storyline in the upcoming Marvel movies! 3.0/3.5 range, complete with typical wear and tear for grade as seen in scan. 3.0 90 day GPA is $900 over 6 recent sales. Only $775, go look around and try to beat that price anywhere! Avengers 7 CGC 3.5 Early Baron Zemo, Odin, Loki, Enchantress $150 (Most recent GPA $168) Avengers 10 Gd+ 2.5 range, $175, cheapest copy on all of ebay is $250 and up. Detached from the top staple, plenty of wear and 2" spine split, Reo signed this multiple times, don't get too excited, it's doubtful it was REO Speedwagon. 1st Immortus Key from Loki's Live Action TV series. No sales in this grade since early this year, but a 3.0 sold in July for $325 when this book started heating up with the Loki Disney series and overall Market take off.

Just $125! Avengers 57 1st Vision. I had a key graded almost exactly like this one that showed approx VF range but had a similar size corner crease and was still given a 6.5, but it depends on your grader and the day +/- 1/2 grade or so etc. $580 90 day 6.5 GPA and the last 6.0 just sold for $650. Only $475 Avengers # 141 CGC 9.6 1st George Perez, Immortus & Kang the Conquerer Story (the Next Thanos type bad guy for several upcoming Marvel movies)! GPA $200 Board Price $185
  5. Yeah, I am more in the western side of the US and I had some family stuff that always slows me down. I had to take the pics and will be posting shortly and more tomorrow in my breaks while at work.

Incredible Hulk #2, 1st Green Hulk, 2nd Hulk overall. 2nd Rick Jones, General Ross & Betty Ross, 1st Toad Men. Raw, complete and unrestored. Looks to have had just a bit of tape removed from the spine at some point. Mostly detached, but top staple somehow hanging on by a thread. Rough, but perfectly respectable and complete entry complete level lower grade copy that is not missing any pages/coupons or huge cover sections etc. I would say Fr/Gd 1.5 is the most accurate grade with a very recent 1.5 sale last month at $1,872 for comparison. (this one is rising fast across the board). Board price just $1,375 a whopping $500 BELOW GPA with a 14 day Grading Satisfaction Guarantee!

  7. Save yourself all the trouble and year long turn times for press/grading and sell them to me raw at a good price!
  8. There are always two ends of the spectrum and with Murphy's law, I am pretty sure if I were to resubmit that same book they would give me an 8.0, maybe an 8.5 on a good day! Yes I would be OK buying a low dollar 9.2 label on a book that looked like that without being too pissed, but 9.0 would be a bit more accurate IMO and anything higher than 9.2 is a total gift. That book is no 9.6. I have quite a few nicer looking 9.0/9.2's I would resubmit tomorrow if I could get that same grade!
  9. Just noticed you now have to pay $299 for an elite membership to get the 10% submission discount instead of the premium $149 tier that used to offer it I believe. Does anyone know of a dealer that lets you submit directly to CGC using their 10% discount code (without having to sell all those books through their auction house etc)? Would prefer direct shipping to CGC since I am sending a ton, if that's not possible through the dealers/discount, I will just bite the bullet on the extra fees.
  10. Take along with the other books I claimed earlier today.
  11. Avengers Annual 1, TOS 94, 97/99 lot, Thor 133, Thor annual 2.
  12. Are there any big dealers out there that will still offer their 20% discount WITHOUT requiring you to list every book you submit through them in their upcoming auction? I would be open to go that route, but I have not know that to exist for some time. I know some pressers to do the same thing, but again you have to ship every book to them first and use their services before getting the grading submission discount.
  13. True. I suppose telling them I have significant future business (which is factual) along with this huge multi thousand dollar order along with the idea I am contemplating the big discount their competitor offered vs going with CGC might be a better negotiation tactic/request than just saying can I please have a discount. Wish me luck.
  14. I just read on the CBCS site that if you call them with a huge submission request, they will work with you on price. Is there anyway to do that for CGC? I literally have like 500-700 books I am considering for submission to CGC after acquiring a huge collection of Silver Age to some Key Copper age books. I am only sending them the nicer grades and at least semi-keys, but in there are a few nice holy grail type keys even. Does anyone know of any way to bump up the CGC grading discount above 10%? I know they used to offer 15% for a larger subscription cost, but I don't see that offered anymore. Meanwhile some big dealers/resto guys still can get 20% somehow with dealer pricing? Maybe I can ask them for the dealer price on this one since my submission would so huge/expensive and as big as almost any of theirs? Not sure how I go about doing that though or if its possible? Any help would be appreciated.
  15. The conserved label would be highly desirable vs purple. CGC has their own in house team that will remove it and resubmit it for you. They can't guarantee the same grade but it its really small it should still be in that same 3.5/4.0 range give or take I believe. If for some reason the color touch was too big and impossible to remove without destroying the books appearance/grade, as an alternate idea, they could even add slight color touch to keep it at the slight 1 level, but probably bump it up to a restored B1 5.0+ range? The first option is the better one though and I would think should be worth the cost. The second option is more of a break even to slight gain at best but gets you a better presenting book that's still only slightly restored.
  16. I would be curious to see what you did with fixing the missing art from the ad on the interior cover. Leaf casting is fairly complex, right? How do you just pick that skill up as a hobby? Now rice paper I understand can be fairly easy to learn, but leaf casting? Did you learn cleaning also? I hear that can also be very complex.
  17. And given the lower grade condition it is already in, you should be just fine regardless. I think that small of doodling would be totally acceptable in a Good condition book, probably would not even deduct from a G/VG. Now had it been a VF or NM book, that doodling would had dropped it a ton! LOL
  18. Awesome person to work with! Paid lightning fast on a high grade Giant Size X-men #1!
  19. X-Men #266 Origin & 1st Gambit Investment Grade NM/MINT 9.8 White Pages.
