Spidey 62

I have been on the other end. I once bought a small group of comics (about 5), including a mid grade ASM 135. A week later, it showed as delivered. It was never delivered. I wondered what to do because it wasn't the sellers fault. The post office was NO help, as they show it as delivered so no harm no foul. In the end I just let it go because I knew I wouldn't win.

This makes me laugh. First couple pages into issue 52 when they are trapped by the Kingpin. I love the dated reference and also that JJJ, detests Spidey, knows he needs him to survive.

Can't someone be both? I look to find comics that I can flip in order to buy more books for my collection. My luck is very hit or miss.

Is that a case of preserves on the floor?

Most bronze Batmans will easily sell for $1 if in nicer shape but when you factor in shipping it becomes a harder sell. Beaters you will have a harder time at the $1 each level. Most of mine are fine to VF, and not moving. Barely a bite. Time will tell.

Am I crazy in thinking that bronze Batman and Detective should be able to sell at .75 to 1.00?

often someone will post a sales thread and then list individual comics in the comments section Or you get pm's. I just started selling on FB a few weeks ago. Not much luck yet. I try to give good descriptions and reasonable prices, but so many others throw up a book and say give me offers. I don't get it.

Every year end, Superworld has an nice sale. I always try to pick up a couple of 10¢ ers. Nice guy, and you know the grading is spot on. Robot Batman and Robot Robin.

Slabbed coins that have had the CAC sticker have been bringing considerably higher prices at auction for the last 10 years in the same grades (for example MS 65). Conceptually, the "Green" sticker says whether the coin in the slab falls within the range for that grade. That's basically it. The "Gold" sticker says that the coin is probably undergraded and would benefit from a resubmission Yes, but there is also another sticker service called "Sight White" which confirms an unblemishished and super clean coin. Because you need someone else to tell you what your eyes can see. Same type of thing as with these multiple comic slab stickers. At least with comics, there may be issues that can't be seen between the covers. Coins have two visible sides.

What they said ^^^^^^^^^^ !!

Upgrade my ASM 6 (when it came in the mail, I wasn't fully satisfied) Pick up a reasonable cgc ASM 8, 9, and or 20. I can swing them all, it's just hard for me to drop $400-800 on a book. Pare down my toy/figure collection and maybe find a decent comic collection to sell.

It's all about the -

You gave all three the patented "Robin shock pose/expression!" Even Supes! Nice cover.

Artists Choice

I can't imagine why listings like that wouldn't be heavy on returns, and thus, counterproductive.

Yup, I have had a bunch {mostly the Byrne era, mid grade} up over the last couple months, from a collection I bought, and except for a 94 in vg, and a couple others, they have gone slow. Still have several up there and getting no action.

Cool topic. I have been drawn into a comic already (as 2 characters using my likeness) in a Jonah Hex book by Mark Sparacio. And also had a commission done as I would like to be a superhero. The artist was a relative unknown and I wasn't totally satisfied as some of the lines of the background were freehanded and it showed. The idea worked well though and the likeness was done pretty well. Frow the rear looking into a mirror - Spidey is removing his mask to reveal his identity is...me. A couple pages from the book. Here, I am the bartender and the rogue in the bottom panel to the far left. Don't screw with Jonah Hex - As for who I would want to draw me, regarding a well-known name... Probably John Romita Sr.

I am going through a similar issue now as well, and with a phone case also. I bought it from the seller because he showed a NY address and I figured a few days to get to Mass. Well, 10 days later...it is supposed to show up on Friday. I will see when and where the ship date/locale is before leaving other than positive feedback.

From Spawn...Sam (aka...Bullock 2.0)

Me, my buddy and The Sh@t (board software edits out the regular spelling...why?) at Big Apple last year. I am wearing the Simpsons shirt. He barely moves or changes facial expressions during these shoots. I am not usually a photo op guy (muchly because of the assembly line aspect of it), but this was friend price.

Nice. I would want it just for the date stamp...October 4 is my birthday!

Just heard that Tom Lyle passed. He had a stroke several months ago, I believe, and was in a coma. I had the pleasure of doing an airport pickup with him a couple of years ago. Nice guy.

I've seen plenty of blue labels with that notation of "tape", maybe not quite that high of grade, but I don't think it belongs in a green label. CGC changed their designation on tape, now to only grade it as if it wasn't there and give it a blue label... Hope that helps! It does. I will still probably be looking to upgrade, if for nothing else, a better presenting copy within the year.

Honesty? I don't disagree, unfortunately that isn't always the first option for some. I found a few more marvel labels with trimmed and other defects. Simply stated, it was a poorly executed idea. Cool label graphics but poor execution. I just bought an ASM 6 with a Spidey label, that notes tape on cover. I clearly saw the tape, but now I wonder if the book may have gotten a green label, as I bought it prior to knowing about this snafu.

Just came in the mail today. My earliest ASM. I would have liked to gotten a higher graded copy (this has a couple issues), but I can't make the $ jump yet. Net price on this was $300 after a cash back on a credit card.
