    I recommend mycomicshop.com for ordering from previews. And Midtown if you prefer to create a monthly pull list. Both have good shipping options at a reasonable cost, and send books bagged & boarded.

    All E Gerber boards (halfback or fullback) are matte on both sides without the smooth/glossy texture that you find on most other backing boards. It sounds like you got the right thing.

    Very nice setup! I'm also using black wire racks with the BCW bins. The all black works well in any room, and it's not entirely obvious you're storing comics (well at least to a non-collector).

    Agreed. Comic Link has been doing very well with silver age ASM books. I was just checking out some of the other auctions that ended last night, very strong results.

    Great looking copy, congrats!

    Yes, about 50 silver/bronze books over the past few years through various lots. Never had an issue. The grading is very accurate in my opinion.
  8. Noble52
    4-4.5 graded. Good pickup for $70.

    The Captain Marvel label looks great with that cover. Probably my favorite of the new Marvel labels.
  10. Noble52
    Yes, usually because I fall asleep before the auction ends

    I agree with others in this forum, start by reading some of the classic stories either in reprints or trades. It may help you identify issue runs or key books to prioritize.

    8.5 as is, this looks like a good candidate for pressing
  13. Noble52
    I hear you. I’m worried the prices will discourage others in our age group from getting back into the hobby.

    Looks like a solid 8.0, though could see it drop to 7.5 because of the small tears/chipping on the right edge. Nice copy though.

    6.5-7 because of the front cover spine stress and creasing. Nice looking book, good pickup.
  16. Noble52
    7.5-8 because of spine stress on the back cover. It looks like they all break color, so I don’t think a press will help much.

    Great looking books. Good luck with the grading!
  18. Noble52
    They all look great. Congrats!

    It depends on your collecting objective...personally i’m working on a 1-100 run so I would lean towards the ASM 1. If your collecting major keys then AF15 is probably the better choice. It also depends how well the 1.0 presents, it might be hard to drop $10k on a book in that condition. Good question.

    2.0...though I think it will look pretty good slabbed if you decide to send in for grading
  21. Noble52
    My guess is 5.5-6. A press & clean will certainly help. I’m curious to see how it comes out. Good luck!

    I’ve re-routed shipments from Heritage to a Fedex/Kinkos site several times, as recently as early this month. Does the restriction apply only to 3rd party locations?
  23. Noble52
    Marvel Super-Heroes 12, agreed to sale over PM
  24. Noble52
    Nice book! I would not slab, it looks better than the 5.5-6 grade it will probably receive. I don't think the stain looks that bad, though CGC has been tough on stains in my experience. And as others have mentioned a press won't help with the stain and edge wear.
