I'm seeing a couple coverless AF-15 up on Fee-Bay, the slabbed copy is at 6000.00, the raw copy at 8000.00.

Any guesses if those will sell at those prices?

Wow, that is ridiculous. You could do the same thing yourself through a binding company for a hell of a lot less than that. 

I used to bind a lot of my runs, that is about 150.00 to 200.00 at most in binding fees.

Something is seriously off about that sale.

Belevie it or not I have issues 5 and 6 in german

When I get the chance I'm gonna Scanlation the whole issue 

It really completes the comic series 

After issue 4

Would love to see the scans of 5 and 6. I never knew the series continued beyond issue 4. 

Great set !! and I thought mine were unique...

 

 

 

Very cool!

I have a lot of my comics bound, and have considered dressing them up with Dust Jackets, like you did with the Atlas set.

How did you go about getting those DJs made?

 

I followed this tutorial for the 1975 books - Dustjacket Tutorial

Very cool site, I had no idea so many people love doing the same thing I am doing in binding their runs.

Its giving me a lot of great ideas, thanks for the link!

 

 

I've been a mod on the site for 10 years, and it's a pretty polite board with lots of helpful people and informative info.

 

anyone that is into binding their own comics or magazines should visit the Marvel Masterworks Fan site- it's broken up into several discussion boards, and it is devoted to all things related to Collected Editions: Omnibus, Archives, Masterwork Absolute Editions, Trades, AE's, and yes, creating your own bound volumes.

 

There are 2 binding forums, one is just an archive of the active discussion board for enthusiasts to use as a reference- thats what was linked to up thread here: Binding Vault

The Active discussion board is here: Uncollected Editions: The Homegrown Hardcovers Binding Forum

 

if you go to the Uncollected Editions page- there are some stickied threads at the top of the page that serve as an FAQ- lists of Bindery Houses that specialize in comics, custom logo creations, maps for different volumes or characters, all sorts of stuff to do DIY books. It is the biggest resource and community that I'm aware of in the hobby. It's been going strong since 2005. Even some of the HA guys have been on there, like James Halperin.

 

 

That's a great site.

Those are awesome... and I love your site.

Yeah, his site helped me a lot gathering together my Atlas collection.

Great stuff!

I was young when these came out in 1975, so I never had read any of the Atlas comics until way later in life. I had a lower grade run of all the Atlas comic titles (minus Vicki) and, this past summer, used them when I decided to have some comic books bound. The results turned out pretty good.

 

Volumes I and II hold the 1975 titles, while volume III has the 2012 relaunch/reimagining titles which, like their predecessor, were extremely short lived.

 

Here's a couple of photos of the finished result.

 

 

 

 

 

Nice bound set.

I bound mine as well in 3 volumes, and then bound the magazines in a separate volume, along with the comic magazines in a separate one, except for the love mags. E

NVM I should read...

 

Matthew McConaughey will play Flagg, the Man in Black

Like I said that is huge. That`s like getting Jack Nicholson to play Joker in 1989 Batman.

Instant credibility.

You couldn`t ask for a bigger actor to play Flagg. McConaughey is at the top of the ladder right now when it comes to star power.

Agreed.

Cause its a great thread!

I pick up this particular issue/variant, every chance I get.

Beautiful copy. Love the yellow label with that cover!

It's a stealth based game, which intrigues me. I have heard really good things, so I will pick it up for sure.

Anyone playing "Alien Isolation" The new game based on Ridley Scott's "Alien" series?

That's absolutely insane.

It will make another $5.95 off of me, when it is released to cable.

Dayumm! !

You certainly scored.

Will this book ever reach 1k?

 

 

 

I hope so

 

Very nice, Newsstand or direct copy's?

Thanks for the quick payment on the Conan Books Eric, Enjoy them!!

A recent acquisition. Marvel Preview bound, issues 1 through 10. Probably the nicest bound comics I have ever owned.

All 10 issues are stunning!

My well loved OO copy, I read the mess out of this book!

Add me to the list of those who value and put a premium on newsstand copy's over direct, every darn time. I wont spend good money on high dollar copper, unless the book has a barcode. Its as others have stated, rarity, I want the more rare copy of a given book and that always seems to be newsstand copy's. That relative rarity seems to be a given, based on availability in the marketplace.

 

Also, don't forget that newsies are very tough to get in high grade.
