TONIGHT! 8:30 I will be answering questions live on YouTube! sborock_ComicLink 14 1 monthsborock_ComicLink (1619): @MrNotSoNice There is no peace, love and understanding....😞
Stolen Collection DavidsObjects 29 3 monthsDavidsObjects (36): I appreciate everyone's comments on insurance. It was something I always wanted, always knew I needed, and even tried a few times to research and purchase, but never pulled the trigger on. The policies were too annoying to read through and compare. I'd set aside the weekend after I moved everything into storage as when I would officially purchase it. If only they'd waited a few more days to ransack the place. Gahh.. so frustratinmg :(
My Comic Book Youtube Channel - The Comic Book Veteran - links within PDGray 25 5 monthsPDGray (620): Anyone else watched any of my vids yet? I have the Curator done and really ready to upload, but haven't had time to get it posted just yet. Haven't done another video, but I am still going to play with the microphone and lighting settings - just gotta find time to do that. Full-time job and teaching college and wife and kids and too MANY other things going on!! Anyway, I always welcome any other feedback on things I should do differently or...
Uncanny X-men 266 Buzbe 6 9 monthsMutantMania (5571): I'd pick one up soon if you haven't already. There's supposed to be a cameo of Gambit in the new Deadpool movie. That might make the book shoot up in price a bit.
My Website SilverAgeSlanger 10 1 yearSiggy (25182): @SilverAgeSlanger You have an Iron Man #15 Penn Dutch Pedigree listed with an image of an Iron Man #19.

Introducing the Larry Hama File Copy Collection vacomicon 4 3 yearsvacomicon (190): I'm super excited about all of the JOE single issues that are being worked on by CBCS. Since Larry had all of the ultra-rare out-of-print Joe Trades (who knows how tiny some of those print runs are) I partnered with MCS to to satisfy fans in the meantime. Thanks for checking them out!
Local Comic book and Sports Card show Bristol RI Johnnylray 1 3 yearsJohnnylray (2675): Hi All, hope all is well with you guys. A few months ago I posted that i got back into Sportscards. Well, I took the leap to be a show promoter. I will be having bi-monthly Sportscard and Comicbook shows here in Bristol RI at the local VFW. I am trying a 50/50 split w/ comics and card dealers. I hope some of my RI friends can make it to the show this Sunday..Ray...

Thanks for reading.

John Severin collection CBCS grade comics are for sale TerrysComics 3 3 yearsFirehawk2069 (712): That All American Men of War looks pretty sweet!
Gaines File Copies not what they used to be? andy49 13 3 yearskaptainmyke (27076): I would love to have a Gaines , Davis, Craig or Frazetta file copy of anything. What's funny is William Gaines inherited his father's publishing company and didn't want anything to do with it at first. His father, Max, died in a bizarre boating accident.
Horror Comics by the Grand Masters of Brazil KomicKazi Jump to first page250Jump to last page 3 yearsKomicKazi (7202): Almanaque Terror Negro Artist Jayme Cortez Published by La Selva, Brazil 1959 https://e3effa51eee72fd900e3-2fb779bd12ec72d4612275342f2c9187.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com/d67fc4f199b9a0882d01177da9b8acee.png
Is a Double Cover / Newsstand from 1986 a Unicorn? Scifinator 9 3 yearsBriten (1630): My LCS has the same issue with a double cover. If I recall it was a 9.2 outside and a 9.4 inside.
Thoughts on the new “Chinatown” pedigree. CatmanAmerica 16 3 yearsCatmanAmerica (29755): There's also Mile High ( Edgar Church) which is a separate pedigree from the Denver pedigree. Two different collections coming from the same city can have different designations. I'm just suggesting that a reasonable argument could be made for third party grading companies reconsidering designations based on cultural sensitivity. Revising a pedigree should not be a big deal. .
2020 Vision: Collecting through a past and future lens. CatmanAmerica Jump to first page81Jump to last page 4 yearsDarkseid_of_town (14297): Hard to even imagine the marvel universe today without TTA 27 honestly....it was intended as a horror story that then became a hero story secondarily. Ten cent cover, and truly one of the first marvel hero books before there were marvel hero books. November of 1961 saw the release of Fantastic four 1, and TTA 27 would follow almost immediately in January of 1962. As the character was retooled from being a horror type story into a more hero type...

Estate and Newstand tonyz58 6 5 yearsbrysb (12491): A couple of years ago I bought a copy of "Batman from the 30's to the 70's HC" and it was advertised from an estate sale... It was in immaculate condition and I have never seen another for sale that looks better than my copy, bright white pages and dust jacket perfect.

ALL SELECT #1 Alex Schomburg BLBcomics 4 6 yearsBLBcomics (1147): Over in the CGC cesspool the two mentioned plus others constantly to this day think they know more than me re the Tom Reilly collection. This is ALL I am bringing up here re "whipper snapper" comment. Yes, indeed, the hobby has turned big biz, the rules & regs for playing in the sand box have morphed. I humbly submit I know a lot of the comics business world history due to 50+ years since placing my first ad in RBCC #47 but...
Avengers Brazil (A Major) Capitão América, Thor & Homem De Ferro KomicKazi 23 6 yearsDalkiel (1851): Thanks for posting these. Is it hard to find copies in higher grades?
Ghost Rider #15-Newsstand Edition-Graded 1forchrist 11 6 years1forchrist (166): I knew they possibly did, but I didn't think I would find one in a condition to get a 9.8, which was my goal. I know there are many copies of this issue graded a 9.8, but I hadn't seen one from either of the 3rd party graders that were Newsstand.
New Marvel triptych 1st issue variants Enelson 13 6 yearsWraith (2115): but not the newsstand version.
WTS: Here's Negan (Blind Box) 9.8 KingNampa 5 6 yearsKingNampa (6756): BUMP I'm trying to buy some other stuff so I will lower the price. $296 free ship (in USA)!!! This book is selling $330-$350 + Shipping on Ebay. Get it fast! Free raw mystery books included (mostly modern stuff). :beer:
Owner History in Grader Notes Suggestion ozonetv 8 6 yearsozonetv (52): I know its totally not a practical idea....but it would have to be non-verified and optional..an additional info area. Projecting far out in the future, I think it would be pretty cool to know who the past owners of the book were.
Marry Detective 38 with cover? tbone911t 10 6 yearsCaptainCanuck (6120): @esaravo I think in this case “Def” was used as an abbreviation of “Definitely”, not “Define”. Useful “info” nonetheless 😉

Pedigree - Who/What Decides MarcJ 23 6 yearsOrbitCityComics (1483): Just because it's hype doesn't mean people capitalise on an opportunity. I don't think a Ferrari is worth half a mil, but if one fell into my lap I would sell it for every nickel I could get.
Crack Comics 37 1945 Tom Reilly copy BLBcomics 4 6 yearsdrchaos (26864): I have a single highest graded copy of Crack # 45 listed on Comic Connect. https://www.comicconnect.com/data/Image/gallery800/cra1.278a.jpg

TOM REILLY PEDIGREE a bit of proper history BLBcomics Jump to first page32Jump to last page 7 yearsOrbitCityComics (1483): It actually has to do with the way people pronounced the word detective. In the time Batman debuted the US was filled with newly arrived immigrants. They would struggle with DEtective, and shorthand it to DAtective, or just tective. How TEC27 was thought up COULD very well be based on this.
Informative Site jrs 30 7 yearsStudley_Dudley (47200): I have a friend with a nice griddle, but I'll be damned if he's going to press my expensive pancakes no matter how good he thinks he is. He can knock out moderns pretty easily, but he hasn't had enough practice on SA, GA books to be my "go-to guy".
Walking dead 27 printing error value?? kandrcomics 5 7 yearsZosoRocks (2130): This is a good topic that should have its own thread.... What printing / manufacturing error books do you own? I'm gonna start one up.
Buying private collections: Do's and Dont's Odins_Raven 13 7 yearskaptainmyke (27076): There were a lot of them... Giant Size X-Men #1, FF #48, 1st Vision X-men, All the Wolverine and Punisher miniseries, Vegeance of Bane, Killing Joke, just about a little bit of everything. This guy loved x-men, masters of kung fu, and Avengers. I also remember a lot of 90s Usagi Yojimbo, Aliens, and other Dark Horse titles. The Bowen Statues went for some money at auction on ebay. Most of those sold for $300 or more each. The reason I flew...

You have lived your life as you see one should.

Being taught to grade comics. jwalker0094 17 8 yearsResurrection (661): There are two types of people who grade comics. Those who can, and those who can't. The ones who can wanted to learn and spent time learning. My best suggestion is attend conventions, talk to reputable dealers, and of course send books to be graded. Write down your estimated grade, and defects you spot to determine your grade and compare to what grade you get and graders notes. CGC and CBCS grading is the industry standard now, so I suggest...
