In this video I talk about a recent pick up I made for a Golden Age Comic Book - a "TIMELY" comic that I wanted to open on 4th of July but couldn't get the video done. This one is for a Captain America Comics 37 but in a low grade. While I'm happy to add this one to the collection I do wonder if there is some risk with low grades because of variability between them. I discuss in this video.
Hope you guys enjoy the video!

I used to collect back in the late 80s and early 90s. The last couple of years I just started to buy whole boxes of “crap” at flea markets, pawn shops, ect……. Those “crap” comics are worth more than my whole marvel collection from the time. Whole box of horror comics from the 1970s or late 60s. Back in the day!

I used to wait and wait until I saw a high grade copy of a book on my want list. Then time after time, when a nice copy finally became available, the price would be significantly higher than it would have been a year or two before. So now I have finally decided that a low grade copy is better than having no copy at all. My 1.8 X-Men #1 might very well be the lowest graded book in my collection, but I am glad I own it. And your CA presents beautifully, and actually looks as good as a book that would have cost you five times more money. Great pick-up!

@horvathsogranfume658 Месяц назад

yup, good take

@jrucker4181 Месяц назад

I buy low grade on big books because I always get a deal. Just bought a couple low grade keys for under $700 as a matter of fact. As long as you are happy it never matters, but presentation does matter to me. Also I would keep the blue label. It's slabbed so it won't improve anything, and blue is always better than purple.

@AlextheComicHoarder Месяц назад

Congratulations! You can definitely try to marry a centerfold. Blue label .5 due to missing centerfold or cool, but upgrading it via marriage won’t hurt it, because you can always go back.

@user-pi4bv2lo2t Месяц назад

Totally agree. I would definitely buy a good presenting copy of a rare book. Not many golden age books out there waiting to be found so what is currently in collections is just about all that there will ever be available to be bought and sold.

@paytonardoin688 Месяц назад

That’s my favorite WW2 cover of all time

@brendandaley9355 Месяц назад

My thoughts are once it’s slabbed all that really matters is how the cover presents. I do understand wanting things complete I know I have some missing page books but mainly non story affecting

@lawrencepearson5655 Месяц назад

Great cover! The soldier screaming at the fourth wall in the foreground always makes me laugh.

@jeffradakovich9252 Месяц назад

That's a beautiful copy!! Nice pickup!!

@MetalBum Месяц назад

Damn those schombergs arw amazing

@jonathanloera6830 Месяц назад

37 and 28 are the best cap covers in my opinion

@36amorgan Месяц назад

I feel that I would do the same deal, because of what you said, the cover is great. That is all you are going to see on display anyway.

@danscoolpaper Месяц назад

Low grade really does not matter to me if it is a comic I would normally not be able to afford..I have been a low budget collector for 5 decades and it has served me very well as a return on my money ..Great vid love the cap comic and I would want it if it were just the front cover.Amazing..

@Pewsplosions Месяц назад

Same is true for all purple label "restoration". Despite the changes being drastically different from a small marker line to fully pieced in and glued covers.

@garyhonn2382 Месяц назад

Nice pickup. I would have bought that for 2k. I paid 4500 for my raw copy, estimated grade 3.0

@kestonsoldschoolcomicbooks6842 Месяц назад

Dang! Congrats, Mickey. Beautifully presenting 0.5. Agree. Wonderful book. One of the top 10 to 20 Schomburg covers imho, and that is saying something 🙂

@ericsred5440 Месяц назад

Buy the book, not the grade. That book presents very well. I made a similar purchase of a CGC 0.5 Fantastic Four #2. It was missing the Thing pin-up but the cover looked like 4.0. I paid a fraction of what a a true 4.0 would cost.

@Saboten_Ken Месяц назад

Congrats ! Nice GA pick up ! Beautiful presenting copy of an all time CA classic cover !!

@GravelRacer1 Месяц назад

I would have held out for a complete book. It would drive me crazy knowing it was missing pages.

@ronhobbs463 Месяц назад

Nice copy. Mine would grade 6.5 but it has rice paper around the staple. That will be removed when I grade it.

@anthonypidone4453 Месяц назад

The big thing is you got to ask yourself what flaws you can live with. I wanted a Fantastic Four number 1. The highest sold was a 9.2 for 1.5 million. I purchased a coverless for 2400 or 2649.66 with postage and tax. Had a repo cover made from scans of the 9.2. Because at the end of the day I wanted comic I could look at all 170 plus panels of the story and share with fellow comicbook collectors. You did quite well you wanted something slabed that you could display the fact that it is missing the centerfold is not the concern it fills your need as dose my raw coverless FF 1.

@popsequentialism7213 Месяц назад

I have the longer version of that same shelf, but I have the shelves oriented with the smooth on top and scalloped on the bottom.

@billyrod1980 Месяц назад

Best looking .5 I’ve seen. Colors really pop. Nice book

@JSSBrooklyn Месяц назад

Congratulations on the new book - and is that the new studio? Looks very nice congratulations. Looking forward to the books in the background. Great Cap book. Enjoy - fun video.

@ScottTice1971 Месяц назад

Great looking book!

@davezavu Месяц назад

I guess that I was wrong about the idea of "commitment" regarding this channel. I was sure that the first book. The most valued book would be that of Darkhawk. I get it. Color me, and most of your fans, trolled. congratulations!

@WarriorsforInfoTV Месяц назад

We want to see you cherish it. Thats a special moment. 😎

@ryanbabb3344 Месяц назад

The grader was wearing a hazmat suit to grade that X-men 1.

@tartuffethespry Месяц назад

That seems like a great buy. Never seen a .5 that presents so well

@jeffkeller9009 Месяц назад

Since it is in a CGC case, The cover is the only thing you see, So in my opinion a nice buy that presents beautifully.

@2hugebros241 Месяц назад

Bingo. Well said

@michaelstarr1285 Месяц назад

I just got a tales of suspense 57 reprint $5 you have to be special to spend thousands for rotted out newspaper....

@o.g.comicsreview4555 Месяц назад

It's beautiful!

@HarisMiqado Месяц назад

I hear you man - recently took down a tec 29 0.5 restored - lowest of the low possible loll - but honestly I love that book -

@darthsneaky Месяц назад

Personally, i would just keep it as is. It presents beautifully and thats really all that matters to us collectors.

@knives9758 Месяц назад

Love the background set

@koschei1975 Месяц назад

My Miss Fury 6 graded 0.5 due to cutout panels in a few pages but when viewing it, it looks like a 2.5-3.0, so it’s well worth it considering how cheap I bought the raw copy. I will say however, this is used by some to try & justify high prices though. I was on FB a few months ago with a guy trying to sell a signed Hulk Annual 1 by Steranko in a 9.0. His price was slightly higher than the 9.2 signed one from Heritage about a month before. His argument was that it ‘presented” better than that 9.2 & the signature looked better. That just seems like trying too hard in a down market.

@fourcolorinvestments8378 Месяц назад

You should buy that other .5 on MCS and frankenstein a complete copy together. Easy money.

@topher83 Месяц назад

It BLOWS my mind people don’t desire the Japanese covers, I think they are the bomb…

@comicpadre8603 Месяц назад

Agreed

@brotherb8933 Месяц назад

I see what you did there😆

@jesselynch1928 Месяц назад

Beautiful Book Mickey. Congrats. I have heard that nbr 46 is sought after. Is that on your radar? Jess

@J.O._comics Месяц назад

I bought an early Silver Age Batman comic at a 2.0 because it’s what I could afford. I don’t give two hoots about resale value and I read the story on the DC comics app.

@luke-space Месяц назад

Nice book. Keep as is at a 0.5.

@comicozzi1152 Месяц назад

@poing333 Месяц назад

So I don't know much about comic conservation vs restoration, but I thought it was that restoration is subtractive while conservation is the inverse, so wouldn't adding pages, if done correctly, constitute a blue label? If not, then how is leaf casting an accepted form of resto by comparison? 😅

@FireflyComics Месяц назад

The issues you raised about 0.5 blue labels are dead on. That’s why collectors of rare books have the option to make use of qualified labels to distinguish the differences. I have a Cap 6 (1941) with an ad missing from interior. It didn’t affect the story and the cover otherwise looks great. It got a 1.0 blue label. Qualified would differentiate it better

@bachtuwork Месяц назад

Are you on a roll swag?

@timothybrandt6911 Месяц назад

I personally do not buy incomplete books and would not spend 2k on anything that was incomplete.

@rushdiehard8784 Месяц назад

mrs swagg will tell you that grade will not suffice

@jeffstanley6013 Месяц назад

Don't get me wrong; I love the cover with its fantastic artwork. But, just so I understand correctly, Cap is dropping a bomb ... right where he himself is about to land?? 🤔
