That's a price for the record books. I don't have this one yet...by the looks of it I'd better not wait too long. Key-book-wise, GL 76 is DC's equivalant of Marvel's Incredible Hulk 181.

Great acquisition, Tex!!!

Hey Dan,

I thought about what you said and curiosity got hold of me. I don't have an Overstret handy, maybe you or some of the other guys here can tell me if this is correct.

Green Lantern (vol 2, 1960) #76 values:

Am I to believe that the first appearance of Wolverine is of less value than GL #76? Are there significanly less issues of GL #76 around? Anyone know the reasoning behind this, or are the Overstreet values different?

TEX[/quote]
Hi Tex,
Overstreet sez GL#76 in 9.2 - $1,200 ($114 in Fn), Hulk #181 $1,550

I bet GL will be up in the next guide. Hulk is the more common comic, esp in high grade.[/quote]

Thanks Robbie.

I figured that there must be more Hulk #181s out there in high grades.

That lcs doesnt have a "bin" its a table with about 7 long boxes on top and another 5 or 6 under it. I just ran out of time or that list would have been longer. most of the books were bagged/boarded and close or at NM.

You've got some great comics there! Full sets too!! WOW!

Ummmm... the one I go to (1st Print Comics) has a 25 cent bin, AND a 10 cent bin. They don't have a dollar bin, because they have a [b]LOT[/b] of comics for a dollar. My daughter's Supergirl (from 2005) comics were all $1-2 except for one that was 75 cents. My X-Men (1991) were all $1-2.

I'm going there tomorrow. Maybe I'll check on some Bronze Batmans, Tex!

Tex, I have the first 300 issues of the FF, so yes I have FF #5. I also picked up Amazing Spider-man #5 a couple of years ago in order to get the most expensive non-FF appearance out of the way. I think I need one of the Hulk ones and 3 issues of the Sub-mariner to get me complete up to the early 70s for early Doom.[/quote]

Tex -- as to what's next, I will probably work to complete my early Dr. Doom appearances up to about 1980. Outside of Super-Villian Team-up, I have most already. Then...I don't really know. Might just focus on keys that interest me from the Silver/Bronze age whenever I get an influx of cash. Or buy Metallica 12" promos and CD promos instead of comics.[/quote]

Sounds like a good plan,

Whatever you do, I'd like to watch you check comics off your list. You, DeadOne, Earl and robotcat seem to have a real gift for completing collections. It's fun to watch you guys shore up the gaps in your collection. I just caught that bug with my Bronze Age Batman comics...I fear it might spread beyond the Bronze Age though. :P

If you start on you Metallica promos and CD promos, maybe you can post your buys in the Open Discussion section. I'd like to see what you'll be up to. I want to start collection Santo, Mil Mascaras and Blue Demon comics, posters and movie posters, but it'll be daunting. I've got my eye on a nice old Santo movie poster right now.

TEX

PS- You have nearly all Dr. Doom appearances up to 1980 outside of Super-Villain Team-Up?!! Even FF #5?!!

Marvel Super-Villain Team-Up only ran for about 16-17 issues, besides a few GS comics! You'll be set!![/quote]

:D

Sure it would, I started with WWbN & ToD which naturally extended to all the titles on your list :hehe: (I was bored with the Frankenstein stories, but the Ploog covers are fun.)

... and then you start looking for pre-bronze issues with those monsters. :hmmmm:
it goes on forever :cool:

RE: Back issue buys

thatjerk — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 20:40:17 GMT

Trying to keep them in 7.0 or higher range makes them a bit trickier to find. They all pop up semi-frequently in VG or lower. The ToD 22 came in the mail today, and it's a beaut. Black cover with very few stress lines on it sold as VF, but probably pushing higher. Only $5. Might try and post a scan later.

Cost depends on the artist, and what you're looking for. A quick convention style sketch might be $20, and a pencils/inks drawing that takes a little more time might be $60 or so. Generally they charge by how much time it will take them.

Check it out![/quote]

Thanks murch!

It's on my faves and I made a few posts. I think I'll be hanging in the FVZA thread most of all. Especially since I actually paid to join the organization. ;)

Thanks guys!

One of the great things about Image Comics, is that most of the creators are extremely accessible, and awesome to the fans. They're constantly on their message boards interacting with the fans.

I end up getting a lot of the original art I have directly from the artists, most of whom are more than willing to do small (or even large) commissions. Some of the bigger names like Erik Larsen, don't do commissions from online requests, usually only at cons, but they're always there (I think Erik lives on the boards :P) to interact with the fans.

Having that access to the creators really adds another level to the experience of collecting a comic. Have a question? Ask the writer or artist. I've even had missing issues sent to me by the artists for free. Can't get much cooler than that. :D[/quote]

Hey murch,

Can you give me the link to these boards? Also, how expensive are rthe commissions?

[quote][b]murch (12/16/2009)[/b][hr]Sorta kinda a back issue... I mean it was out a few weeks ago. ;)

Anyway, this arrived in the mail yesterday from Riley Rossmo, artist of Proof and Cowboy Ninja Viking at Image.

I asked him to do a Spawn sketch on one of the blank Image United covers for me... couldn't be happier with how it turned out. :D

Jeez!!

Where ya been Set One?!! You sure came back with a vengeance!! Lookit all them cool buys! What's a Manga Value Pack?

TEX[/quote]

Haha..Yeah..just a few :P

The manga value pack was something cheap were I got a bunch of random mangas from Akira, dual masters, racer x, battle chasers, a'ok, iron cat, battle of the planets and race of scorpions. Nothing really fantastic but it was dead cheap. It was a total blind pack meaning I didn't know what I was getting until it arrived..Thought it might be fun to see what was out there.

Oh that reminds me-

Love Hina 6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13
