I was double-lucky on this find. 1. Apart from these, the show was a complete dud; it was, in general, a non-comic show. Those who brought comics as an afterthought only had junk. The comic dealers who were setup were priced above-and-beyond. Example: A raw X-Men #94 marked as a VF+ for $1000. You can buy a graded one for ~ $560. Dealer said he was negotiable on prices but where do you even start when he's that far off? 2. I got to this particular booth late and a buyer was already making a large stack of GA; I saw the Rangers #25 go into his pile and I knew he'd be taking all the good stuff. He went up to the seller with a stack of 25-30 comics. Seller said how about $325 and the buyer came back at $300. The seller wouldn't budge and neither would the buyer; buyer walked away over $25. As soon as the exchange was over I asked the seller (who was still holding the stack) if I could take a look since the other guy passed. Seller said this was from an OO collector; he had already pulled out the Timelys including Captain America and some Marvel Mystery. I was OK with the scraps.

Fantastic #2 was actually the random issue I picked up that got me hooked on Fox Comics some 16 years ago. The Fletcher Hanks Stardust story is hysterical. gino2paulus2, Ricksneatstuff and 1950's war comics 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post szav Posted April 25, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted April 25, 2018 (edited) Well...didn't think I'd ever get a sharp copy of my favorite GA book, but the stars aligned and I reached way beyond my typical means to grab this beauty... and fortunately my wife agreed to give me up to a year and a half to "pay her back for it." Gonna be picking up a lotta extra shifts at work .............. totally worth it.

Readcomix Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Now I know how the Monkees must have felt with Jimi Hendrix opening for them, having to post right after Szavisca's score...but it was sitting in some antiques shop, all out of place, and it is a first edition, however ratty. I have always loved pix of this cover, and it's as striking as I expected in person, even in low grade. Badger and Larryw7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is instantly the number one book in my collection and I couldn't be happier. Obtained it online from a store across country... had put this book on just about every website that does a want list email notification and never actually saw a copy anywhere during the last couple years but at auction on ebay/HA/CC till this came up. The seller had a really high asking price and I know he took it to a few shows and didn't have any luck...so I just kept in touch and was finally able to talk him down to a price I was comfortable with. I asked a few boardies to give me their take on the value and I was able to land it at the midpoint of the estimates. This is a book that I didn't need to get a great deal on, but its all the better that I think I did. Taking this one to the grave for sure! exciting stuff I know!
