I apologize if this has already been answered, but I'm new to the site and I'm taking an inventory of my comic book collection. I'm having trouble finding some titles within the price guide that I know have to already be in there somewhere. I just can't find them in the search.

Can someone tell me how I would get the Uncanny X-Men annuals to come up ? Also, I can't for the life of me find Giant Size X-men #1 listed anywhere. Any ideas on how this might be found or what I need to search for for these titles to come up ?


Thanks in advance !




One of the single biggest problems members have Lol.

Open Uncanny X-Men link provided & then look to the tab just above the first book listed & you will see the MONTHLY tab, Then to the right of it the ANNUAL tab, SPECIAL, then GIANT-SIZE.
http://comicspriceguide.com/titles/uncanny-x-men/rlux
Click on the one you need & you'll find your books there.
This goes for all listing of any title if those titles have any annuals or specials.

Hope that helped.

Something different.

Diamond Limited Trade Paperbacks + one from capital

Since I like obscure comics and things that are hard to find, these qualify. They are individual comics that Diamond bound into a Trade Paperback. Dark Horse published some trades with the same name for Terminator, but these are the ones Diamond bound from individual comics.


Dracula


Spiderman Torment


Vampirella


This is the back cover of vampirella...


Terminator: Endgame


Robocop vs. Terminator (The easiest to find + some may have been bound without inserts. All mine are the same)



Terminator: Hunters and Killers


UNITY Book 2 (I do not own #1, but I had 5 of these at one point before selling some for 800% or more mark-up over what i paid)



Youngblood - you almost have to spin this one in circles to read it because one of the issues was printed sideways originally.


Cyberrad Compilation Book


Capital produced one also

Spawn Capital Collection


There is a John Byrne 2112 hardcover (I think) that I do not own.
I think that's all I own. I have multiples on some. I was going for 2 sets.

That Vampirella looks like a C. Vess cover. Didn't know he did one of her.
Nice to see some odd stuff! I too like the obscure books.

Hey - Gil !!! smile

I'm hanging in... the comic room is a bit overflowing right now

Score anything fun/interesting lately?




I miss your master collection Robbie. Not many have what you got.
I have zippo to show Lol. Just getting some new stuff.
Will be a little while before i start up the back issue collecting again, Wait till i get some bills paid off & then i hope to start up again.

I think i'll start to review my new books here again soon, Just easier for me.

Like to see Tex's Blog on the new forum, There going to improve it very soon.
I have actually come across a few younger people wanting to know all about comics & collecting (they ask the noobiest questions Lol).
Very warm here & seen some epic thunderstorms. We got 60 mm 21/4" in one arvo 2 weeks ago. knocked about 5 massive trees down around town. Love a good storm Lol.

Star Wars Rouge One was great, Going back to see it on Saturday for my B'Day (i'm the same age as the meaning of life & everything is...).

Another idea would be to scrap those horrible emoticons we currently have & bring back the basic ones we had before. Was much easier to express ones thoughts on a matter...smile

I've recently been selling off my collection on Ebay, had some success. I've notices that particular Story lines have sold well. For instance I sold from the Copper age Spiderman's "Kraven's last Hunt" which crossed over between the 3 titles.. now individually these books aren't worth much but together i scored $50 for 6 issues not graded.

I get the limited series issues.. but are there other story lines that are popular? Mostly I have Copper and Bronze age.

Thanks for the help!




Here are some that i liked, They may not sell but they are good reading...

Legends of the Dead Earth (DC Annuals across major titles)
Zero Tolerance (X-men books)
Legions Quest (X-Men books) The one that started the A.O.A.
Blood & Claws (Wolverine)
Playgrounds (Books of Magic) Tim rescues his girlfriend from hell, Great story.
30th Anniversary specials with the Holograms (across the Spidey books)
The Exile Returns (Spidey books)
Web of Life (Spidey books)
Smoke & Mirrors (Spidey books)
Aftershocks (Die Cut covers from Spider-man#57 & Spectaular Spider-man #223)
Frankenstein #7-8 (Dracula) Marvel, Gripping read. They don't make them like this no-more Lol.

Mine did that a few years ago. Went from 4 - 5 & back to 4 again. Think one needs to keep up with the submissions so it stays there. Also i think the higher the ranking the more one needs to submit.
...And no you have not submitted to much data...More please Mr. Droid & your ranking will go higher smile

if i post all the pictures of the ones i like, this will go on forever, LOL; but for me, the ones that grab my eye and bring me back to my childhood would be the Marvel movie adaption comic books. Such as Dark Crystal, Indiana Jones, The last Star Fighter, Dune, Dragon Slayer, Blade runner, etc. i strive to locate all these Marvel Movie adapted comics now, they just need to be in my collection Big Grin




Agree.
I need more of them too. Missed out on a sweet NM set of Dune a few yrs ago (still pissed at that...Oh me)
I did get Time Bandits though.

A worthy Iconic Cover for me is (Uncanny) X-Men #50.
