Spidey 62

Just received this solid mid grade copy from @aelelarkin. Great deal and nice secure packing. This pretty much ends my ASM hunt, except for maybe some upgrades. Only missing 1-5, 14, and 129 (through issue 350). Those are out of my zone.

I have only bought one, from a Facebook live show. $25 + 10 shipping. Got an Immortal Hulk Alex Ross cover that I sold for $15, a Silver Two Gun Kid, and an Avengers 195 (the one with the "cameo" of Taskmaster), and some filler. Not bad.

Found this double cover in the wild, at a show. Had the opportunity to get it signed and graded. Came back better than I thought it would.

Insert ANY "Here We Go" meme here.

I hadn't really thought about it like that, but the spidey villains had a huge effect on Spidey...and the biggest book in the marvel universe, if not the Marvel Universe itself.

Errrr... Lizard, Kraven, Mysterio?

Blasphemy!

I have sold $1000 of raw cards in the last month. The most recent being the MM tin set for over $350 (it was an ebay sale hut we lived close and met for the exchange. He said he was going to open them and I wonder if he is thinking of grading some.). I think that clears about all my sellable cards and inserts. I am keeping a few, but nothing over $50. I have sellers remorse on one thing, the Spiderman Anniversary prism set. I am hoping that I can get them back in a few months for half of what I sold them for. Sold the set of 12 for $80.

Are there examples of recent books that have blown up that then crash all the way back? Or don't most of them find a longterm bump?

My earliest Batman. #111. Early Silver. Cover 3/4 split, but I like the cover and it was half price. And, suddenly, I have a hankering for ice cream.

I don't sell a ton on ebay, but I usually have 10 or so items up. I sold a small collection of keys last year without MP with no problems, as usual. Since the force over notice, and the payout delay...yuuukkk. I can see a time shortly where I just pull everything down and screw it. I would usually like to think that upgrades and changes are to make things better and easier for buyers and sellers. I can honestly say that as a buyer it doesn't change anything for me but as a seller it's a much less pleasant, easy, better experience all around.

Yup, the SA Spideys seemed to have jumped a bit in the last couple of years

And the D brothers seem to have a lot of "alternative" covers also!!

My most recent pick up, and probably my last ASM silver age buy except for possible raw upgrades. I don't see myself getting 1-5, or 14. After that, I am only missing 101, and 129 to have a full run to about 325.

I got the switch or else notice a couple weeks ago, so I did the switch thing. Have sold a couple things and no big deal waiting a couple days for payment. Went to list a coin today and the listing was rejected. Apparently, they now have many items that MP sellers can't list. 🙄. Just dumb. Also apparently, the coins and bullion categories may start to be allowed tomorrow. I'm still gong with dumb.

I have a modest collection and haven't bought a page for a while. Picked this up for a song on the bay recently. I loved the Egyptian theme of "Book of the Dead" my third Barry Kitson page.

If there was a con tomorrow near me, or a short drive away...i would go. Supposedly I will be in phase 1 for a vaccine, but no word yet on when (because of my job, not my health). Someone will have to make the move to start again. Crowd limits, and ppe, but still, start slow and roll on. I am hoping by late spring that there is good news.

Wife's and mine is pending in the account. I have started scouring for that gaded ASM 8.

I never really got "The Far Side", but I was hooked on C&H. My soft covers are well read.

Reading the title and first post, I thought I missed some news. But no, nothing has been done, so it should be "if", right? "if" something (I expect something to get done, just the amount is in flux) gets done, I will be getting a graded ASM 8 to fill a hole. It isn't a key book, so I hope the price does not go up.

So, what is the future of 313? Going up or is it topped out at $300 ish for a vf? I wouldn't mind a hole in my pc for 3 bills. Ebay fees are the worst, but that's where the eyes are.

I know this has been dormant for a while but I was searching ebay for pages and came across this from Batman No Mans Land. It isn't him but I think the likeness is clear.

I have read the article a couple of times. I am sure that during that period, friends of Stan asked him "how's it going" and he said "fine". How were they to know it was the opposite? I can't help but think this has to fall mostly on the daughter. She was too busy trying to find a TV career. She should have been a guardian of his well being, and after his passing, the guardian of his legacy. I'm sure she could have found notoriety in that.

Thanks for the thoughts. I was in the 2.5 area. I guess 2.0 - 2.5 is safe.
