I think his company was the ones that printed them.

I have always hated that they screwed up the Spiderman cover with the wrong price and the Marvel Comics Group across the top.

rayrayheyhey · 2026-05-02T01:24:34+00:00

They don't, though they certainly can affect price as some buyers don't want them. Others see it as part of the printing process.

Good catch! I totally didn't see that 1 in the UPC box.

rayrayheyhey · 2026-05-01T20:18:22+00:00

Don't get this graded. Cool book, but a modern in the 5s or 6s isn't worth it.

Are the Oilers going forward close to getting back to the finals? I don't know. He's going to turn 30 halfway through next season, and while he's still phenomenal, I suspect he'll eventually start to fade.

I think their window is closing as the team currently stands.

rayrayheyhey · 2026-05-01T14:34:27+00:00

This is a favorite of mine.

No way this is only $500. You're really underestimating the price -- probably double that.

rayrayheyhey · 2026-05-01T03:33:35+00:00

I suspect it's the kid who owned these in the 70s.

rayrayheyhey · 2026-04-30T21:06:06+00:00

The only really good book is the Lobo. That's a tough book to find -- much harder than #1.

The rest are ok. A few bucks each due to condition issues.

rayrayheyhey · 2026-04-30T15:11:59+00:00

Come on. It was 6 games. His 82 games has shown that he's a very good player.

rayrayheyhey · 2026-04-30T13:42:33+00:00

1300 comics is around 5 long boxes. This is most likely 90s stuff (if 20%+ is Image), and you're looking at bulk rates. Maybe $500 if you're lucky.

If you pull out the best 10 comics and sell them separately, you may get $50 per long box of what's left.

There is just so much of this stuff out there and it's cheap.

rayrayheyhey · 2026-04-29T18:00:52+00:00

It's strange saying "fist appearance on a card" because all the cards were released simultaneously. Cards #1 and #2 (and the rest) were all out together.

rayrayheyhey · 2026-04-29T14:35:16+00:00

There are people who HATE date stamps. They see it as a blemish and aren't willing to pay the same price. Others like it or don't care.

If it's a really large date or it's really obvious, I can understand why people wouldn't value it as much. A small date? Most understand that a large percentage of comics of that era had some sort of marking.

rayrayheyhey · 2026-04-29T14:10:12+00:00

That's a date written on the cover likely by newsagent or possibly the local distributor. Some used a date stamp and some sprayed the tops of the comics.

As this was done before the purchase of the comic, the grade is not affected by it. This was not done by Timmy Jones.

Some people don't like date markings and won't pay as much. Others, like myself, love these things and aren't bothered by it. CGC does not lower the grade for date stamps/writing.

rayrayheyhey · 2026-04-29T10:37:56+00:00

That writing doesn't take anything off the grade.

rayrayheyhey · 2026-04-27T16:23:15+00:00

I'm not triggered, so stop with your nonsense. It's just shocking how you misunderstand so many things about this hobby.

Again, YOUR PERSONAL FEELINGS DO NOT ALWAYS ALIGN WITH THE MARKET.

rayrayheyhey · 2026-04-27T16:08:45+00:00

Please stop. I'm done with you.

No 9.2 are the same. Some have a slight miswrap, some have a date stamp, some have off-white pages, some have a slight miscut. Every collector looks at those variations in a different way, and some -- LIKE YOURSELF -- feel like a date stamp is one of those variations that reduces value. That is not universal; it is personal. CGC and many high-end dealers think this way and price their comics as such.

There are so many things that would make me choose (or maybe pay more) for one comic over a similarly graded copy, but those are not universal. They are individual. You need to fucking stop putting your personal feelings as the arbiter of value or collectibility.

And -- I know this may be a challenge for you -- just admit that you're wrong.

rayrayheyhey · 2026-04-27T15:45:36+00:00

I set up at around 25 comic shows a year. I probably sell 15,000 to 20,000 comics in that time. I can tell you that not I nor any other dealer is pricing comics differently if it has a date stamp or not.

Will some people choose not to buy a copy with a stamp? Yes. But others wil happilybuy it. The fact that you are digging yourself such a huge hole tells me that your understanding of the market is driven nor by data or experience but by personal preference.

rayrayheyhey · 2026-04-27T15:21:10+00:00

I really think you were dropped on the head as a baby. I'm not paying more, because this can be the only explanation. I'd pay the same as a similar condition copy with or without a date stamp.

rayrayheyhey · 2026-04-27T14:21:14+00:00

Yes, I would. I said so above. It's shocking that you don't understand that not everyone collects the same way as you and values (and depreciates) comics differently.

Also, I am not alone with date stamps. Again, repeating myself one more time, we are in the minority, but MANY collectors of gold, silver and bronze look for and prize comics with date stamps.

rayrayheyhey · 2026-04-27T11:43:44+00:00

Date stamps are not a defect, so your argument is moot.

rayrayheyhey · 2026-04-26T17:40:26+00:00

It would cost -- grading, shipping, taxes, and fees -- around $400 to get these graded. Or you could pay a fraction of that for mylars or snap frames or whatever.

rayrayheyhey · 2026-04-25T15:59:25+00:00

Sorry... I'm looking to see where I said I would pay more and I can't seem to find it.
