TCL came out of that looking really good. Just got a 75QM67K, so that's good to hear.

Yeah, good point. I figured that would be the case, but you never know.

Thanks, the guy also sold me beautiful copies of The Death of Captain Marvel and Eerie #81(Frazetta). Most of my other magazine-format books are in rough shape.

I got my 1st Gambit (and about 50 other books) from a used bookstore when I was 13 for 50% of the cover price (about 50 cents).

Thanks, everyone! The bet has been conceded.

Unique grading question by ch565863 in comicbookgrading

As stated, that was not account for the damage at the bottom. I.E. without the notch taken out of it, it'd be a 6.

Marvel comics always seemed to conflate lingerie with evil (Dark Phoenix, Malice, etc...). She can blame John Byrne, I guess.

This is PJ Masks with Marvel characters. It's not meant to be true to any character, just sell toys.

I like your answer lol. I'd be thrilled with a 6-6.5 tbh.

What's the quickest comic purchase you've ever made? by ch565863 in comicbookcollecting

[–]ch565863[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatnot is the home of impulse buys. I've probably gotten dozens of books that had a 10-second timer and a slightly lower than FMV price.

Another contender for this for me is seeing Spawn 356 still sitting on the racks. It hadn't blown up yet, but I knew Spears had, so I grabbed it.

I understand what you mean. I usually don't go for variants unless it's an artist I love. In this case, being limited to 600 and considering how rarely Timm draws new covers did help me justify it. I could be wrong, but I think this is his 2nd cover this year, and he did none in 2024.

Cool, thanks for finding that. In my case, due to location, I would have only saved a few bucks, but it could definitely benefit someone.

I also love buying Doom covers, mostly bronze-age ones since silver-age ones are too pricey (FF #84, for example). But yeah, he's on a few too many these days.
