First Upgrade

Wolverine (1992 Impel/SkyBox International Inc., Marvel Universe Series III, #H-3) Kirk Jarvinen & Brad Vacate

A few quick front cover differences between the U.S. Newstand editions & the U.S. Whitman editions are... ...the UPC box is empty ...the issue number is framed in a 'diamond' ...the letter 'P' in the 'Spider-Man' title logo has a shadow effect which is not colored in blue

In that lot...looks like 52...These are the Whitman Variants. Notice that the shadow of the 'P' in the Spider-Man title logo is not colored in...

Yes indeed...

It's simply 'AMAZING', all that bubbles up from the depths...

First day of bidding...

Raw, high grade DD's, like this issue 15, are a favorite... ...eventually, this one will make it's way down to Sarasota.

...2 on Census...single highest graded 15 cent price variant[mis-labeled by CGC].

So, only 1 DPS!?!?!...

I have used them to hang a few framed lobby cards. I used 2 medium size strips (50 lb. capacity, ea.) for the top two corners [one strip adhered to the frame & one to the wall, four strips total per frame]. I haven't yet used them for framed original comic book art, but, I will in the future.

I certainly did not bid again once outbid in the CL original art auction, because, I am 'actively' bidding on lots across the HA sessions ending soon.

My example was graded on 1/25/2018.

Bidding is OPEN...

Sometimes(perhaps most of the time), Seller 'A' lists a piece for sale/auction on eBay. Buyer 'A' purchases the piece & then 'flips' the piece to Seller 'B'. Seller 'B' posts the piece for sale on their website with an increased asking price. [This basic sequence takes place in both 'private' sales & across various 'public' auction sites.]

Much more than my highest bid of a paltry $30K...
