I think my resolve has been renewed and I am NOT going to unload any of my ASM collection to help me get my grail. There is simply too much work, time, and still love in those books to "give up" now. I am going to keep plodding away and wheeling and dealing but spare my ASM collection. Other keys may continue to circle in and out of the PC vs For Sale categories. I "buckled down" I just set up a huge auction (well, huge for me, 91 books) to finally try to just offload all the Zenescope books I acquired previously. Those books have brought me good returns but now I am "blowing out" pretty much everything I have left. It took some time to set up but I think that is the way...I know I will feel a heck of a lot better making bank towards a grail selling stuff I don't care about than the quicker route. Tortoise and the hare...

Wait about 4 months when my next batch gets back from CGC I just sent in over 30 books...Largest single sub yet...Mostly modern era though.

I wanted to take a minute to thank those who took the time to reply. I appreciate all the advice and opinions. The one thing I don't want to do is make any "rash" decisions. I have spent too long getting down to 20ish books to complete the run to do that, and, truth be told, I am proud of what I have and what I have accomplished thus far. Just there is that nagging question...Will I ever be able to get my "holy grail"? Or be able to obtain a nice presenting low grade copy of AF #15 and/or ASM #1 without a major "sacrifice"? And I mean, how much higher can AF #15 and ASM #1 go? There has to be a ceiling at some point (or levelling off) at some point right? Time will tell. So, for now, I am just going to keep doing what I have been doing; selling my non-pc books but maybe evaluate and shift a few non-ASM books/keys into the "for sale" category and continue to buy comics for resale when I can (and I have had some good modern scores of late), but those are all towards the greater goal. But maybe give myself a bit of leeway as @thehumantorch said, I can change the variables, find something new, etc. One thing I think I have decided, if I am going to buy an ASM book, the "commons" will wait until the very "last" as they will always be "affordable" in comparison. One thing is for sure though, I won't "quit" the hobby. I'm in it for the long haul .

Wow...Been a long time since I have posted in this journal. Not much new to report in terms of personal ASM books...I have been busy working from home during the pandemic, busy with a now 14 month old son and focusing on selling (to save) for the next big Spidey book - An AF #15 or ASM #1 (when I have spare time; which is rare these days). As I was looking in my comic closet though at my near complete run and the value that is in my personal collection, plus for sale inventory, plus what I have saved from selling and still have that I could sell...I'm wavering and pondering "giving up" on completing the run, keeping a handful of books from my personal collection and move all the rest of my personal ASM collection to my "for sale" inventory. Why? I still have 21 books to go, all from the Lee/Ditko era and does not include annuals (I don't have ASM Annual #1 either - sad). Those will eat up money. Major keys just keep going up and up and up and I fear if I wait too long, they will be unattainable as I would need to get low grade but I don't want a total dog of a book "just to have one" either. I have some standards . Plus, I am considering what would make me "happiest" in my collecting journey. What would mean "the most" to me to possess? A big run of books, that may never have the two biggest books or a small but mighty collection? The flip side is there is a lot of memories tied up in all the rest of the run I acquired and there are a lot of books I still really, really like having. So, it is the "collecting crisis" I am having right now...Make a bold decision and let go of a lot of valuable books and accelerate selling to get that big book or just keep doing what I have been doing; wheeling and dealing, clawing away and selling as much as I can of everything else, when I can... If anyone is reading, feel free to "sound off", love to hear other peoples opinions and/or stories...

Awesome initial entry and it is so good to have you rejoin the collecting fold! I enjoyed the story of how you came to be a Batman guy...Didn't know you were into the Phantom. Now go get that Batman #189 😉!

And here is my recent little modern cherry pick from a collection

And interested on thoughts what a cleaning would do...Thanks!

Hello all, looking for opinions! Please note that top edge, back cover, near the middle there is a miniscule tear that doesn't show up super well in the scans.

Another round of books are back from some of the collections I recently picked up...Star Wars heavy but not too shabby! I am prepping another lot to go to CGC and oh yeah, picked up another 20 book lot! Pics on that one later...

Star Wars heavy sub...Pretty happy with results...Was hoping for a 9.8 on at least ONE of the KOTOR #9's...

From what I read from the article this is a man who has a great passion but is putting it aside for an even greater passion - His family. This is the mark of a truly good person, husband and father. I wish him and his family the best and hope for the best possible outcomes.

First Collection Purchase of 2021 Completed. Again, nothing major but it is a nice collection of modern, low print run horror comics and completely done via email/FB messaging. This is the same source as the Spawn and Star Wars and other recent books (except the GA ones). I was not super keen on these books, but the price was right and I want the seller to know he can keep coming to me as well; I want to maintain that quick "comics for cash" relationship. I'll post a few pics when they arrive.

Back to ebay...Sigh...

If no takers by Sunday evening, going to move this to eBay again...

Thanks! I included all the details in the Ebay Blocked Buyers thread, but his eBay user id is: deadherocomics

Final Price Drop: AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #300 CGC 9.4 OW/W PAGES - $825 USD SHIPPED WITHIN CANADA & USA.

100% I screwed up though...The guy asked for a return...I should have made him send a cancellation request instead as a return is a knock on my account and a cancel is a knock on him. And that is what he was actually doing, cancelling. Now I have to call eBay...Not that it will impact my standing too much, but I still don't want it reflected on my seller account, but I want them to know he cancelled on me... Lesson learned.

No. It was bound for the great state of Texas.

FINAL PRICE DROP: AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #300 CGC 9.4 OW/W PAGES - $850 $825 USD SHIPPED WITHIN CANADA & USA. Note: That "fleck" in the upper left corner above the price box was/is just some fluff that was on the scanner bed.

Greetings everyone! I recently had an ebay buyer back out of a completed sale of this book (Amazing Spider-Man #300 CGC 9.4) because his buyer cancelled on him Thankfully, I had not shipped it yet. As the book is already packed and ready to go, thought I would offer it for sale on the boards. First in thread wins it and trumps all negotiations. Time stamp determines winner. No HOSers or Probationers. Payment by Paypal only. Payment is expected within 2 days of the sale. Shipping within Canada and USA only. I can provide references if required. No Returns on CGC graded books unless there is some sort of extenuating circumstance. Your buyer backing out doesn't count Any questions, feel free to ask!
