Hey Robert,

When you ask about "getting my collection up with these", are you talking about buying them or logging them into CPG?


I was referring on, how do I start collecting older comics. Buy at fair price or wait till someone sells at discount?


Key Golden and silver age books command a premium and that does not seem to be changing anytime soon. If you really want to go that way, you should try and start now getting your hands on what you can. I have huge Batman (missing 1-9) and Detective comics (missing 26 books between 27 and 76) runs and not sure I'll get there with low grade copies selling for 4x guide in some cases. I have resigned to the fact that I will have to pay over guide if I really want them.

Oops, that was me.

Rhubbard07, it really is your call. If it's something you are willing to go after (and potentially sit on it for xxx years), go for it. I would stick though with titles that are showing growth. Not everything appreciates but I have seen nice uplifts in the last few years on certain titles.

I remember watching the animated series from the 80/90's (?) and read a few of the comics back then but not much until recently with the Last Ronin.

I can't believe how crazy the 1st issue is going for. $1000? And it's not even graded...or in NM condition.

Star Wars #1 High Grade First Issue Bronze Age Disney Marvel Comic 1977 VF- | eBay

Looks like a 9.6 recently sold for the same.

Wow.

Overstreet values it at $86ish dollars in this condition. I think they are way behind on the times.

Demand is on fire.

Hi,

Both the Tim Sale variant cover and the Walmart reprint are listed as 9B. Should the Walmart version be 9C?

Thanks

I like Peach Momoko and Derrick Chew covers. Alex Ross is always a favorite.

Hi, the text in the title states the cover is Joelle Jones but someone approved the cover artist as Mark Brooks.

Can someone verify?

@Ronbatman, is it possible to create a view or export that would reflect more than 10 of our (collection's) gains/losses?

I believe you can go to the Manage collection link and mass delete bu publisher. Click on your profile in the upper right. Click collection at the top and then in the boxes below. That may be the fastest.

Not sure if anyone else knows of something faster/easier.

I know, right? I wanted to add this to my collection, so they should be selling it for much less. Maybe even cover price. To be fair, we could adjust for inflation. That would put it at $1.85.

Anyone check this out yet? I watched the two episodes and I don't think it's all that bad. Curious to see where they're going with it.

It's on Disney Plus. Falcon and the Winter Soldier comes next followed by Loki.

They're roughly 30 minute episodes but with something like 7 minutes of credits.

It may be worth paying for Disney Plus for a month to watch this plus the Mandalorian.

Hello admins,

When I go to my profile and choose Collection, there is a section for "New Comics" that takes you to all the new comics CPG has updated recently. Is there a way for this to show OUR newest books added (above the latest 10 added)? Similar request to seeing beyond the top 10 in gains/loses.

Thanks for all you do.

Donald
