And that one doesn’t have the now retired Stan Lee Label.

$2700 is probably fmv, but I wouldn’t blame someone for holding out.

Have I told you about the time I dropped off 3,000 comics at SDCC? Scifinator private msg quote post Address this user
@HotKeyComics - Good to know, thnx!

@00slim - Amazing! $2,700 was exactly my initial thought on counter until I saw the forum member comments.

As I mentioned, I ultimately countered full to see if buyer would come back and if not, no prob as it wasn’t my intention to sell this till things got nuclear with speculation.

While not completely unique, there are those nuances, the Ltd ed stan lee label, the gold ink, & Lee and Miller signing same day at SDCC that just captivates me, but probably not most people.

Strange tales 180 8.0. $260 list, offer of $200 on Ebay. This is for the gofundme and isn't even my book. Should I try to get more out of it?

@Scifinator that sold wolverine 1 doesn’t compare to yours. That’s a book with scribbling on it, yours is a work of art.

@flanders maybe counter at $220. Add comments about it being a charity auction, maybe post a link in the comments if you are able to.

Got back my Young Avengers #1 and Spiderman Noir #1(variant) from CBCS - both in 9.8

I can't decide if I should sell now or hold for later.
Leaning heavily towards holding as I think both these books have more upside because I don't think either have active TV or Movies yet do they?

I'm only into these for cover price, press screen (not needed) and grading so I think I'm ok to sit on them a bit

Anyone have similar/contrary thoughts?

The apple sauce and pudding were the best part... Bronte private msg quote post Address this user
Young avengers in my opinion is just starting. I wouldn't sell if I were you. So far the Hawkeye mcu series hasn't even been launched.

The other one I have no idea...

If the viagra is working you should be well over a 9.8. xkonk private msg quote post Address this user
@KatKomics I agree with @Bronte on Young Avengers. Kate Bishop alone is reason to hold out for at least a trailer later this year. I don't know if Spiderman Noir will be in the next Spider-Verse movie but I would at least wait for some news on that front. If he isn't I don't think the book will go down, and if he is it'll probably get a bump. That one is scheduled for next fall right now.

thanks! @Bronte @xkonk

@KatKomics keep the Young Avengers 1

I don't collect modern and even I have a raw copy. 👍

Auction off or hold? No offers despite being at MCS for several months:

I would not put that book in auction on MCS. It's very specialized and in a CBCS slab.

Agreed.

I’d drop the MCS price a bit & wait.

Then, if it doesn’t sell after a while, I’d pull it from MCS & auction it on e-bay. But I wouldn’t start the opening bid too low.

What about this dumpster fire of a comic? The cover is attached but somehow it shifts slightly up and down, which is why the pages at the top aren't flush with the cover. Auction or keep it for eternity. No one has been interested in it, even though I've had is listed for less than $300.

@flanders In spite of the issues you noted, I think it’s the green label that’s keeping it from selling.

@00slim thanks, I'll probably remove this from auction as well then. I don't know if anyone would pay more than the $175 I have invested in it.

This is one I would be much more comfortable putting into MCS auction. Wider appeal, CGC slab. Maybe it just needs the auction exposure. I've had a few books sell for more in the auction than I had them listed for previously. They just needed exposure.

Wouldn’t hurt to try this if the starting bid is something you’re comfortable with.

@EbayMafia looks like I'll let it roll then, hopefully the prime auction will help gain some interest in it, but maybe not since there will be far better options to spend money on?

@flanders I was concerned about Prime Auctions initially, but the late great @TedSaid (R.I.P.) seemed to feel that prices came out just fine in them. Looks like they draw a bigger audience.

He's still with us, I just sent him a message on the CGC forum, where he's been active, thanking him for the comic advice.

@flanders Glad to hear. My heart sank for a second. Then I remembered he’d had a run-in or two with the mods.

Sorry, didn't mean to imply actual passing. But I guess I clearly did.

I purchased this recently while bidding on this and a higher grade copy at the same time and didn't expect to win both. Purchase price of $110, offer on Ebay of $175, after an initial offer of $150. Looking at about a $40 profit after ebay fees. Should I sell and invest in something else or hold onto this one?

@flanders - If you have a better one, I would say sell it and reinvest the profit!

Thanks Ed, it's been sold, and the funds will be used to try to acquire a Strange Tales #169 for a decent price.
