It was in a box of little dot and all these other books. Not the greatest coffee in the world but white pages lol also nobody ever talks about amazing Spider-Man 123 which features Luke Cage and the funeral. Very underappreciated. I still want my amazing Spider-Man 122 I'm just waiting to get rid of some books you will be one of the first people I hit up for that lol thanks drew !

Damn it Drew, do not call attention to the cartoon books.... I'm still hunting taz. There are a lot of these books flying under the radar, but they're so hard to find. I mean if you want to talk criminally under priced: First appearances of Pebble and Bam Bam, you can find raw copies for like 30-40$. Even first flintstones (dell giant 48) just recently started to pick up steam. First in title Speedy Gonzales. Four color 990 - First Yogi Bear, and Huckleberry. Four color 1128 - First Rocky and Bullwinkle. First Chilly Willy

@LoreLord- Жыл бұрын

Hey boss great info! I have a question what’s the lowest grade of a silver age book you should shoot for? expecting to make a profit not for personal collection. I know it will vary based on notability etc but just a general grade.

@CoMoComicBooks Жыл бұрын

It varies. Collectors have different thresholds based on anything from affordability, grade, presentation, page quality, you name it. For me, I would ideally like to all of my major silver age books at or above 3.0. For books I care more about I have a higher floor. In general, collectibility and presentation start to decline rapidly below 3.0, so argue below 4.0. So depending on your budget, targeting 4.0-7.0 copies may help keep you in the middle for affordability and accessibility.

I have a question for you. When it comes to the GOLDEN AGE, do you think as an investment, that almost any DC book would be a decent purchase, over the next 10+ years? I mean every issue cannot be a key issue! THANK YOU!!!!

It will doubtless be difficult to find ARCHIE'S MADHOUSE in Fine condition because like MAD magazine, fans read these things and I think they rarely stored them in plastic bags! I have a couple of beat up Archie digests from the 70s that I held onto but stored with my paperback novels! It never dawned on me to bag and board these things piggyback! I always saw Archie comics as fun to read, not much else! It's nice knowing other folks loved them, too and found them " collecting worthy"!

Good stuff, as always. :) Would I be the first to claim that the bad guy in FF 51 looks like Rick Harrison from Pawn Stars? And to waggishly call the story "This Man, This Pawn Star?" On a slightly more serious note, lemme give a shout-out to two old cowboy keys, both from the Atlas/Marvel title Gunsmoke Western... First up, issue 57, cover-dated March 1960, includes the first appearance of Two-Gun Kid. Then issue 72, cover-dated September 1962, features a revised origin story for Kid Colt, Outlaw. Either of these comics can be had on eBay for less than $100, in decent condition.
