Dang man, I actually walked by that Action Comics #1 and did a double take. Couldn't believe I was actually seeing it for a second.
Wow those Spiderman and amazing fantasy prices seem to be on the rise.

Awesome comics and amazing grades. When I was growing up with comics (before CGC obviously), you'd see a vintage book that looked great and would be graded excellent or near mint or some such. But those books had nothing on what you're seeing these days with a CGC 9.2 or 9.6. I've got a few Kirby #1's in 9.6. Things look like they just walked off the factory floor. I sometimes wonder how the original collectors were able to keep them in such pristine shape for 30 years.

Fortunately all these great books are in reprint, so I'm fine with the grading/sealing process. Anyway, one thing's for sure - there are a ton of vintage books in unbelievable condition.

I bought an Amazing Spider-Man #1 for 500 bucks in like 92 that was in "Good" condition and I wonder what it would grade today

I can't believe a "restored" comic can make the list at such a high price.

Thanks for the link.

If only I collected Marvel as a kid. But, no, I had to go the DC route.


I also need to do a search for a comics grading site. Any insights?

I've never had any comics graded, just bought a few. I think you just send it off to CGC.

I think they also make the rounds to comic shows and grade on site.
