Stevemmg Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 I purchased it slabbed. I’ve never had any magazines slabbed myself. Randall Dowling and Jayman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevemmg Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 (edited) My preference is raw copies. Personally, I get more satisfaction from that. I would only potentially slab high value magazines that I would want to sell, but have had success selling what I choose to in raw form. I buy a fair amount of graded copies, as in many cases, that’s the only real option for nosebleed grade mags.

Stevemmg Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Came out right about the time of the two issues of Photo News Features, but apparently the subject matter didn’t make it appropriate for the series. Not nearly as rare as the Gothic Tales of Love series, but seemingly tougher to find with a nice white cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comicginger1789 Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 I am curious how less (or maybe more) comic related magazines were printed in comparison to comics. Say for example, issues of Eerie or Creepy from the 70's compared to a solid mid tier comic characters title. Would a comic be printed 10 times as much or 10 times fewer than a magazine from that time period? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like I've seen those kind of corners on 9.4, 9.2, 9.0 books before so it seems fairly random to me. Agree. I find magazines tough to grade sometimes.

I'm also curious how various magazines' print runs compare to eachother. Warren vs Curtis for example. Did Marvel jumping on the mag bandwagon mean an increase in printing or were they still not as big as some of the originators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 90sChild Posted October 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2020 (edited) Three new black cover Skywalds, at $90 I think I did ok not amazing. The more popular covers were getting $60-100 a piece and it just didn't feel like great value to spend that. Also added two vf/nm vampire tales, I have more than half of them now in 9.0 so I guess this means I'm required to finish the set.

Popular Post Stevemmg Posted October 4, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 4, 2020 $30 average for those three mags in very nice shape? That’s a solid buy. As long as we’re in the horror-mood, I upgraded one Skywald today too. allthingskryptonite, Jayman, Randall Dowling and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
