I don't think it's right to tell people you are a serious comic book collector unless you can say you have one of these.

 

There was a time that I didn't have one of these but had unrestored copies of Action #1, Tec # 27 and Marvel #1.

 

But thinking about it nobody ever took me seriously.

I never posted the Action #1. Bought it a few years ago.

 

Miss the 8.5 Denver Marvel #1. But the offer was too good to ignore (can't disclose buyer or price as promised buyer I wouldn't).

Anything high grade silver bought in the 90s you would have done well on but man if you held onto an af15 or any other top 10 book you really would come out good. Congrats. That is a pretty looking book.

heres mine.. I bought it for 3500 un-slabed in the early 90's as a near mint... lol

 

Didn't you see the spine tic?

 

Sweet copy

 

I guess that is why it was NEAR mint and not just mint!

 

Nice book! Wish I bought mine in the nineties!

I want to caution others about potentially bidding on this book:

 

http://www.ebay.com/itm/261131044269?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

 

 

 

 

I believe that the seller of this book has been banned in the past (according to comicdonna), and is the same person as the one that had a small FDQ moment in this thread (and others):

 

http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=5983118&fpart=2

 

 

 

 

 

The current ebay auction is for the book below (which is now cracked out). The seller did not disclose the CGC grade, and does not show a back cover image in the auction. Also, the image links are no longer active, but the seller is listed as a member of this club with this book.

Funny thing is it is up to 2.5 money. I don't see where the seller mentions a grade, but agrees it's a presentable low grade. Pure genius.

 

Pure dishonesty.

 

Removes the book from it's slab hoping buyers perceive it as higher grade, and deliberately doesn't show the back cover when it drastically affects the grade.

 

His auction description is pure hokum, flat, no marvel chipping bla bla bla.

ComicLink deliberately doesn't show back cover scans. I have even boughtbooks from HA.com with writing on the BC, funny when I went back to see how I missed it there was no BC scan. Possibly why it was omitted.
