Like I bought a dollar book today from a used bookstore that had a sticker on it. It looked freshly put on so I knew it'd be easy to get off otherwise I wouldn't have bothered. Stickers are deemed yucky (and if they're 40 years old, they are yucky for sure), but a stamp is deemed nostalgic and historical. who knows.

Bird Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I bought a collection this summer and there are tons of dates stamps in there. They are the first ones that I have owned (raw) and I like them a lot. I think that they add appeal, as long as they are clean and crisp. It is just goofy and it somehow seems like it fits, not a detraction at all. MyThreeSons 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

___ Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 ASM 101 is sure to heat up, had already been hot IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NP_Gresham Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 It is just a single book, but it was interesting to note that the recent sales of ASM #202 showed the signed book take quite a hit. The blue label 9.8 went around $150 more. At some point the larger market will punish the yellow labels for over-saturation relative to clean blue labels. Once a book is signed it can never go back. oakman29 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoomanfoo Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I just bought a Marvel Premiere 1 in a solid and nicely presented F+ condition for just under 60 bucks. So not "heating" due to the fact that it appears the prices have dropped. but I've wanted one for for a while now. I had purchased one on the bay for much more a year or so ago that ended up being a VG at best. I wasn't happy with it so sold it and lost money. I kinda gave up until I've seen an abundance of decent copies at affordable prices. Seems to be a smart buy at current prices since his silver age appearances are a little out of my range for f-vf copies. grebal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Kids, Comics! Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Is Multiple Man still dead in the Legacy stuff? Seems dumb (again) they would make a movie of a character that you can't walk into your LCS and buy issues of off the shelf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yes I did get lucky as it is luck of the draw bidding on books (bronse or older) without a grade or description and making a judgment from pics alone. I have noticed the book went down a little bit and there are more available. This is obviously due to popularity and confirmation of character after GoG 2. I'm only making an guesstimate and not looking back on concrete sales. Anyway...as a collector as well I want to add I love the start of his story with counter earth, Man Beast, and the involvement of High Evolutionary. Bronse is my favorite "reading era" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it's always interesting when there's a casting announcement or big reveal...James Franco was one I would not have expected...but then again the movie industry is transforming and Superhero movies are on par with the big boys like Star Wars so I guess no casting should suprise me at this point. Well back to what's heating up. Thanks for the people being patient with our Franco banter ___ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
