| most books I want Don't elude me, but I'm just not willing to pay the going price. However there's been one modern book I can't seem to aquire as its hard to find in 9.8 shape due to its white cover and most have printing defects...plus it's not popular enough to be a book people think to have professionally graded...have only seen one on eBay in the past 6 months and I LOST the auction by a sniper who squeezed a final bid literally as time expired... Duration of search: since 2016 Year: 2006 Publisher: Marvel Title:"immortal iron fist" Issue: #1 (not the directors cut) Printing: First Raw or Graded: graded 9.8... I have a raw that could achieve 9.6 Signed: would entertain it...but not preferred Open to trades: Yes PM for offers: Yes |

| I would think that White Whale would be something you absolutely can't find rather than something you just can't afford. | ||

Mine is actually not a book, but rather a bag I have been seeking for conventions. |

| @Kav There is a green labeled 5.5 copy that will be a part of the 4/12/17 auction at Comic Link. The label states the centerfold is missing. Might be a way for you to get a copy. I have nothing to do with that book. I might bid on some of the items in the auction, but I am not selling anything in it. |

| Amazing Spider-Man (1963)#40 7.5-9.0 signed by Stan Lee and John Romita. Preferably with white pages and a good wrap. But the kicker is nicely placed signatures I don't want Stan right in the middle. In my opinion he ruins lots of comics with horrible (almost seems intentional) sig placement. | ||
